Semi Final Lulher Lind icy vs. Gino Nicolini. . Opener Red McKim vs. Bill Curry. Referee Harry Elliott. Eric "Thee Great" Pederseh, still hoping to find uranium in tha California mountains, returns to action at the Armory arena Saturday night for the main pur pose of making another stake and hand Jack Kiser a whipping. There will be no admission charge for women fans. Kiser, a veteran now, was the youngest holder of the Pacific Coast middleweight title and is quite capable of making the Call' fornia muscle man cat his words. The two fast-moving wrestlers have been signed for the headline attraction by Matchmaker Don Owen. ', The semi-final feature shows all of the earmarks of developing Into a better match than the main event, however, with Lulher Lind sey meeting Gino Nicolini. Fact of the matter is, Owen has one of the best action-packed programs of the season lined up. The open er, matching Red McKim and Bill Curry, will get under way at 8:30 pm. McKim, the ex-Oklahoma A & M star, and Curry, from North Bay, Ontario, are both of head line caliber. Lindscy, the former collegiate track and football star who last year held World Champion Lou Thcsz to a draw before 4,500 spec tators at Tacoma, will be meeting another popular local favorite in Nicolini. The Canadian-Italian is Is just returning to action follow ing six weeks on the shelf with a ruptured ear drum. The malch promises to be one of the most dynamic and colorful matches of the year. Pcdcr.sen and Kiser are certain to provide plenty of fireworks, however, with Eric the Great holding only a slight edge over the Portlandcr who first intro duced the deadly skin-thecal hold. Reserved seat tickets arc avail able at Luckey's Club cigar store. RAIN CRAMPS STYLE Heavy Schedule Faces UO Squads Oregon was forced to give up its series with Washington Slate Thursday when wet grounds and continued showers forced a can cellation of the scheduled double header. Coach Don Kirsch said league rules prohibited making the games up at a later date. It Was the fourth straight game each team has lost to the weather', although Oregon will have a chance to pick up its games with Oregon State in the two dates still remaining on the schedule between the two clubs. WSC was washed out of lis Washington scr ies at Pullman last weekend. There is still a heavy schedule on tap for the Oregon spring sports teams this weekend how ever, but how many will actually be played is questionable in view of the weather conditions which are better suited for a mud fight than athletics. Coach Sid Milligan's golfers opened competition Thursday morning at Santa Cruz, Calif., in the annual Northern California Invitational Intercollegiate golf tournament and the Ducks are rated as a long shot to upset Stanford and San Jose for the title. Coach Bill Bowcrman -called off track workouts Wednesday when Bill Dellinscr, Bill Sorsby. Gordon Dalquist and Ben Lloyd reported with colds and adjourn ed to the Student Union. Bower- man said he hoped the quartet would be in condition to run against Washington Saturday at Seattle, but if they weren't he would make changes in his origi nal plans. Coach Bob Basich of the Duck ling baseball team hopefully an nounced games with Tongue Naval State Friday and Albany high school Saturday, but It ap pears a sudden heat wave would be necessary before the games could be played. The tennis squad, with McAr- thur Court to fall back on for a playing site, will meet Washing ton in its Northern Division open er and then take on Portland Layne by TKO ' SALT LAKE CITY (ifi-Rowdy Hex Layne, Salt Lake City, cut loose with' a tremendous body at tack Tuesday nieht to score a technical knockout over Willy Jackson, Alberta, In the first round.

Coach John McKay's freshman golfers, minus number one man Bob Prall of Salem, will meet the OSC Rooks and Eugene high at the Country Club Friday in the opening match of the season.

Duden Shares Pro-Am Win VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. W- A field of 143 golfers, includingmost of the nation's top-drawer profes sionals, started teeing off Thurs-I day at 8 a.m. EST in the third annual $17,500 Virginia Beach Open tournament. Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va., tuned up for the tourney in Wednesday's pro-amateur curtain raiser by firing a (iva-undcr- regulation 64 as did Walker In man of Augusta, Ga. Paul Mo- Guire .of Wichita, Kan., carded a 65. The pro-amateur wound up in a five-way deadlock.

Soviets Comb Rural Areas For Athletes LONDON Wi The Russians an nounced Wednesday they plan a giant program of rural sports meetings in an effort to comb their vast, countryside for poten tial record breakers. Moscow Radio said in a broad cast heard here that "hundreds of thousands" of country athletes would take part in the first U.S. S R. rural games, opening in i .u..j stun lumiJruwuiis uii vuiic-s:' Hive farms, state farms and ma chine tractor stations. These sporting events will be followed by regional meetings in all of the nation's 16 republics. I The athletes who survive these I eliminations will be sent to Odes sa for the grand finals in October. ! Such a thorough hunt for tal ent means that very few, if any, potential athletes among the So viet Union's 200 million popula tion will escape the searching eyes of the nation's sports of ficials. The program includes track and field events, athletics, swim ming, cycling, volleyball and soc cer. - The announcement said the winners will receive "special prizes," but it did not specify what these awards , would be, Shortly after the war the Rus- jsians gave cash to athletes who set national and world records, When they joined the Olympic Games organization and other in ternational sporting groups they announced that this practice had been abandoned. From the large scale prepara tions that are under way, it ap pears that the Soviets have al ready begun their drive to win the 1956 Olympic Games in Australia. MORE PLAYERS NEEDED. Salem Helped by Coast Clubs This is the fourth in a series of articles on the various teams in the new Northwest Baseball League and their pro spects for the coming season. SALEM (If) Manager Hugh Luby of the Salem Senators in his fifth season as skipper of the club, looks to both the Sacra mento Solons and San Diego Pad res of the Pacific Coast League for the bulk of his Northwest Class B Baseball League team this year. The Senators, holding daily drills at Napa, Calif., have only IS players in camp, including Luby. He plans to again play second base, "unless somebody better comes along." TANSELLI COACHES So far, the only other veteran of the squad who is a virtual cinch to stay with the club is Gene Tanselli, the shortstop who just missed batting .300 with Salem in the now-defunct West ern .International League last year. Tanselli was among the WIL's top shortstops for three years and will take over addition al duties as coach this year. Harvey Koepf, a husky former Willamette University star, and Jo Niro, picked up as a free agent after four seasons in class C and B ball in the East, are the current Senator catcher.
