TONIGHT’S BOLTS CANCELLED Due to inability to get matched opponents together at this time, the March Fight Night, which was slated for Field House this evening, was yesterday an­ nounced cancelled by match­ maker CpI. Jim Shackleton. Athletic Drive Brings in $15,000 (Continued from page 1) ommendations arrived at by Red Cross directors, who were on hand from virtually all of the army camps in Oregon, will be made on basis of percentage. Recommendation was that the fund break-down be in two pools. The portion allocated pool one, which will dominantly be equip­ ment and distributed first, will go to detached units throughout the state. Distribution from pool two will go to the Army Camps. A sizeable portion of the total will be apportioned the area in which Camp Adair is situated. A further recommendation to be observed in the distribution, pro­ vides that a larger part of the fund will be spent for group equipment The drive, which originated with the Chevrolet Victory Committee and was given unstinting support tifully-muscled, is no mean shucks of the Portland Oregonian, plus as a handball contender in the pres­ many civic organizations, was con­ sidered as distinctly successful. ent tournament.

Lt. Waller Sindlinger, Post Mhletic Officer, yesterday re­ pealed plans which are providing or will provide equipment for most of these activities, to be maintained at Field House for use of EM at any time of the «lay, both Sundays and week­ days. Many badminton and ping pong thusiasts, particularly, are here id about this Post and it is ex- cted they will make big use of facilities. Plans now tentatively call for a mt pong tourney to be held in r late spring. The same goes for dminton. I By I’fc. Boh Ruskauff Beavers Building for Baseball Season Building a hall club around three lettermen is the tough job confronting Coach Ralph Coleman. Most of his squad is made of inexperienced sophomores and freshmen. Only lettermen back this year are Don Durdan, first base or out­ field; Vic Brown, center fielder; and Bill McCluskey, short­ stop. All three veterans have looked good in early workouts. The pitching staff is causing Coley to worry plenty. All of last year’s mound staff have been taken away by graduation or the army. At present the best hurlers appear to be Don Cecil, the Orange basketball ace; and Andy FraMer, up from last year’s Rook team.
