Armory Card
Has 3 Bouts
Complete program
Main Event Eric Peter
sen vs. Jack Kiser.
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.

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

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.

Coach John McKay's freshman
golfers, minus number one man

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

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. Both bat
right handed.
Bud Francis, rookie star with
Salem three years ago before he
went into the Army, is back with
the club after a spring training
period with San Diego. Other
pitchers, these all on option from
Sacramento, are Bill Walsh, a
230-pounder who got a bonus to
