r ,ti 1i 'ti & 1 I PAHS FOUL CRAMPS STYLE s t Sailor Too Cautious for Own ; Good; Soldier Nearly ' Outpoints Him Kewple - Riley of Vancouver, Wash., and Sailor Willie Gordon f Portland fought a lively and -1eiou.draw at the Oregon the mtre Thursday night, bo that the question of supremacy between them, left in doubt after a pre vious encounter which ended In an unintentional foul, still re- vain In doubt. If :1t hadn't been for Gordon's penchant for getting mad and sail I air in wildly when stung. Riley -would have outpointed him under the fireumstancea. The truth- is that Gordon was handicapped by the recollection of that fool, and didn't aim a blow anywhere be low Riley's shoulders. But It was a battle between a spectacular style of fighting and an efficient though prosale. style, and the latter, used by Riley, was noticeably more effective most of tbe time. Last Round Vicious Riley bad tbe best of the fourth and seventh rounds; Gordon pre vailed In tbe eighth and tenth. The last round was replete with fast milling, both fighters aban doning strategy and flailing each other wildly. The semi final bout as well a the main event had to be changed en account of the influenza ep idemic. Jack Petef son of Portland was substituted for Red Hayes, and Peterson won a decision over Terry Kileen of Independence in a fight that resembled an alley brawl ratber than a boxing bout. They pounded each other without ny apparent thought of defense: few blows were warded off -though soma were dodged or went. wild. Jimmy Woods of Amity proved 100. tough for Delmer Russell of Salem and knocked him out.wltb a right uppercut o the jaw in tbe ronrth round. Jackie Wattenberger won a de cision over Guy Hickman, of Sa lem; and Jack Nelson and Ber nard Kuhn. both of Salem, fought a draw. DEtPTS DEFEAT PS The type of basketball played fey independent teams in Portland distinctly Isn't in a class with Northwest conference college ball ; that waa demonstrated Thursday night when the Willamette univer. alty Quintet with a patched lineup In the absence of Cardinal, star renier, romped over the Shell Oil company team. Portland cham pions, to the tune of 43 to 29. The visitors showed plenty of ability In shooting, looping the basket from all corners of the floor, but they didn't have the stamina to keep up tbe speedy pace that the well trained col legians set. Adams, forward who special. )ze In heavy English cripple snots waa exceptional!? effective. Scales. Willamette guard, was clearly the fastest man on the floor but be still needs a few weeks of practice with his new team mates in order to get co ordinated In the teamwork. Steelhammer, with a big as signment In attempting to All Cardinal's place, did not shine In the scoring column but outdid himself In checking Bradley, the visitors highly touted center. .. On the whole, the Willamette team played a brilliant game. The Willamette freshman team defeated the Northwest Canning company team 13 to In a pxe- u j jjmmarj game.
