Duck
Tracks
By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor
Despite the fact that Oregon’s boxing team folded in
the middle of the season because of a definite lack of oppo
nents, two of the fighters continued training and entered
the state AAU tournament over the vacation period and
when the final round came around, both men were still in
there swinging—at each other, unfortunately.
Pete Riley, defending welterweight king, and Marty Schedler,
tired of waiting for the bell to ring them into an intercollegiate
brawl and decided to try their luck in the state amateur ranks,
with a trip to Boston promised if they survived the tournament.
Scliedler took a step up from Iris usual lightweight class and
entered the heavier division. In his semifinal fight he handily
outpointed the veteran Jqrry Buckley of Multnomah club,
thereby making an all-Oregon finish in the 145-pound finals.
Two Friends Battle Each Other
It was strange indeed to see two close friends, boys who had
been training together all year and helping each other get into
shape for this tournament, sitting in opposite corners of the
squared circle, waiting for the gong to bring them together, in
a fight which would see one of them crowned a champion and
eligible for the eastern tournament.
But there they were, the tall, silghtly built Schedler, and
the shorter, huskier, baby-faced slugger, Riley, ready to
forget all friendly relationships that existed between them
and waiting impatiently for the gong to start off the fire
works.
And it didn't take long for the fireworks to start once the
two began throwing leather. Riley, the man who has been coach
ing the Oregon boxers all year in the absence of Coach Vaughn
y Corley, shuffled into Marty in his usual, confident, business
like manner, waiting for Schedler to lead. Schedler, a boxer
if there ever was one, took the play away from his former
teacher and amazed everyone, including Riley, by going on the
offensive, boring in with long lefts to the head.
Schedler Muffs Chance for Knockout
The first round was a thriller, both men threw everything
they had at each other, Riley earning a distinct edge by his
harder, sharper blows.
At the start of the second round, Riley picked up where
he had left off and peppered his stablemate with wicked
left hooks and right crosses to the jaw. Schedler was by this
time showing definite signs of weakening, but he continued
to carry the fight to his hard-hitting opponent. They went
into a flurry of leather in the center of the ring and to the
amazement of the crowd, Schedler took the play away from
Riley and when the two backed off, it was the titleholder
who looked as though he needed help.
Riley was supporting himself on two very rubbery legs and
Schedler, sensing that he had a knockout in his grasp, charged
in wildly, swinging punches from all angles. But Marty was too
eager to end the fight by a knockout, and as lie swarmed into
Riley, Pete’s glassy eyes caught a glimpse of Marty’s open jaw
and he instinctively let fly a right hand punch that caught
Schedler flush. Marty went to the canvas and rose after taking
a nine-count. Riley’s head had cleared by that time and he
swarmed all over his challenger. Schedler was in such bad shape
that the referee stopped the fight.
Riley Goes to Boston Tournament
As a reward for his great battle, Riley was selected as one
of four fighters to represent the state of Oregon in the National
AAU tourney, March 31, April 1 and 2.
It is indeed a shame that the Oregon boys didn’t have a
chance to show their wares in the faster, intercollegiate
competition, but now that they have competed in the finals
of an AAU meet they are ineligible for any further colle
giate fighting. Jim Shephard was entered in the AAU meet
also, but was withdrawn when it was learned that his par
ticipation would jeopardize his eligibility to play varsity
football.
j Incidentally, had Shephard gone through the tournament,
the odds arc heavy that he would have won the title handily.
There wasn't a heavyweight fighter in the ring that looked
good enough to stand up against the husky gridder.
So Oregon’s boxing men, neglected by their own school, really
showed what they could do if given a chance.

Baseball Call
Draws Frosh
Some 30 freshmen baseball as
pirants dug their gloves and spikes
out of that dusty corner and turned
out on baseball practice Tuesday
afternoon to work some of the'
kinks out under the watchful eye
of Coach John Warren.
While basking under a mid
spring sun and ideal baseball
weather the diamond men took
things easy.
After a session of limbering up
arms that had tightened up over
the winter period and chasing fly
balls, Warren sent the lads onto
the diamond for some infield prac
tice.
Warren is faced with the perplex
ing problem of rustling up some
mound men as the turnout includ
ed only two pitchers.
The squad will have a hard task
cut out for them in trying to come
somewhere near equal the record
of last year's team, who ran up 16
wins in as many games.

Meeting Today
Varsity Coach Bill Hayward
and Frosh Mentor Ned Johns
called for a joint meeting of all
track team candidates for today
at 3:30 on Hayward field. At
that time, schedules for work
outs will be instituted.
In yesterday's workouts, most of
the prospective track and field
squad had to be satisfied with light
practice, while Hayward sent some
of the sprinters and middle dis
ance men through trial starts and
short, easy races.
The Ducks open their dual meet
season here, April 5, with the Uni
versity of Portland.

YOU TASTE ITS QUALITY
A good way to get the most out
of anything is to pause now and
then and refresh yourself ...with
ice-cold Coca-Cola. Its taste is
delicious. Its after-sense of re
freshment is delightful. A short
pause for ice-cold Coca-Cola is
the refreshing thing to do. So
when you pause throughout the
day, make it the pause that re
freshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola.
