Boxing Tourney Starts Wednesday Rec Hall Ramblmgs A 23-mile hike Is a pretty good day’s work for any trainee. When a trainee comes o ff a 23 miler and 30 minutes later goes out and plays a regulation bas ketball game, it's really some thing. That's the full day iron- man trainees from Co. A 55, Austen, Bergles, Hazlewood. Leeper. and Scribner "enjoyed" last Wednesday night. Breezing to t h e i r eighth straight victory, the powerful Camp Abbot Engineers outclass ed the Powell Butte Outlaws, 45-22 ,at the Recreation Hall Thursday night. Deliberate action was a fea ture of the first half, and Coach Leo Frizzo’s Abbotmen assumed a 16-8 lead. The Outlaws, Cen tral Oregon All-Star aggrega tion, never had a chance after that as the Post team steadily increased its margin through the third and fourth quarters. Cpl. Kenellq, rangy center, had a big night, racking up 15 and holding the Outlaws’ talent ed pivotman, Winkle, to a single bucket. Sgt. Tucker again broke into the double figures with 10 to tie Lt. Butz for second place scoring honors. Guard Stoffell’s eight points were high for the invaders.
