Kewpie Riley of Vancouver, Wash., had been signed op as an emergency opponent for Sailor Willie Gordon of Portland, for to night's main event at the Oregon theatre, Salem fight fans' tongues began wagging at an accelerated rate and the fight program took on even more significance than It held when Gordon was billed to fight Ted Fox. The previous Gordon-Riley en counter lasted Just long enough to get the customer all 'net up' and then terminated unsatisfac torily when Gordon unintention ally fouled Riley. The encounter while it lasted proved that the boys were well matched, and their respective styles In the ring were such as to make- It a fight plenty of action. So Mr. Fan was put in the posi tion of the little boy who "won't be happy till he gets it." the de Blrabte objective being a finish to thla promising bout. The fans are sorry Ted Fox couldn't go on, but that can wait; what they want to find out now is whether Gordon or Riley is the better man. Opin ion here seems evenly divided. Tom Loutitt will be the third man In the ring; he's the referee who makes them all fight, but he apparently won't have to use his persuaslre methods in any of the bouts tonight. Nobody has even seen either Red Hayes or Terry Kileen lay down or stop boring in. Delmer Russell, who meets Jimmy Woods of Amity, in the last four round i fight, showed the fans that he be lieves in action when he appear ed on the last card, but he faces a tough opponent in Woods, . who has the advantage of greater ex perience. Guy Hickman and Jackie Wattenberger are both willing misers. To complete the card. Match, maker Harry Plant Wednesday signed up Jim Kuhn, who recent- ly boxed at an American Legion smoker, to meet Jack Nelson, who has appeared in several prelimin aries here.

(AP) California's Bears fin ished their drive for academic touchdowns today and with final exams for the quarter over, set about the business of preparing for the gridiron tilt with Georgia Tech, New Year's day at Pasadena. The California squad aban doned football tactics for book study after the Stanford game. November 24, and has been hard at 4t since. Coach "Nibs" Price, however. is not worried as to the condition of his charges. He said today it would take but little time to whip them back into the same shape i hat carried them through the coast conference season unde feated. The . squad of 47 will turn out tomorrow for a light practice and will take a night train for Pasa dfcna. From then until game time, steady practice will be held in the Rose bowl. THE reign of Andre Routis, sec ond French king of feather weights, most probably wil be longer than that of the Eugene Crlqul, the first French boy t' wear the feather crown. Criqui did not last a fight aftei he had won the crown. He wor the title back in 1923 from John ny Kilbane and the very next fight he had Johnny Dundee tool jit away from him. Such, however, seems not to b the fate of Andre the First. Jot Jacobs, who has Routis' contract is playing safe. He recentlj handed 'over a check for the con tract of a young Philadelphia featherweight who had won 30 consecutive fights since turning pro. Probably Jacobs expect some day to see this lad wearing the royal mantle which now be decks Routis, but Joe doesn't can for that to happen just yet.
