visited a practice session of the Roseburg high school
track team last week, and. decided to pose some shot-putters
in action. Frank Purdy, RHS track coach, called to
an energetic young fellow doing calisthenics, asking him
to run over to the dressing room and bring back three
shot. A few minutes later the lad dashed back . . with
three blank cartridges for the starting pistol.
Way Down There
Mike McCormick is worried about his new job as
manager of the Wenatchee Chiefs in the 10-team Western
International league. "What would I tell the folks back
home if I should come in tenth" wonders McCormick.
"That's two places below the bottom."
Willie Could Do It
Despite the fact that Eugene's Jackie Puscus scored
a convincing victory over Willard "Battling" Nelson of
Salem in the Cherrian-sponsored amateur boxing card at
the armory last week, Nelson has a good chance of win
ning the Oregon state lightweight title in Portland Wed
nesday. Puscus, who has been fighting in the lightweight divi
sion, will probably join the featherweight ranks for the
state AAU boxing tournament Wednesday.
Dyer Has Good Chance, Too
Virgil Dyer, another bright Salem prospect, is in the
flyweight division. Salem could wind up with two 'state
champs Wednesday. Nelson and Dyer are both capable
of winning the titles in their respective weights.
Not an Olympic Year
The AAU will crown state champions in only eight
weights this year, compared to 10 last year. The weight
classes were broken down into 10 divisions last year to
correspond with Olympic weights. The 1952 Oregon AAU
championships were tryouts for the United States
Olympic team.
Maybe, If You Hurry
Incidently, any young boxer who wants to enter the
state AAU tournament in Portland Wednesday might
squeeze in as a last-minute entry by calling Bob Dreycr,
phone 45083. He'll take care of the necessary registra
tion, and im that you get transportation to Portland.
