Duke, BYU Boost Leads In Leagues By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Easy triumphs in a pair o clutch games enabled high ranked Duke and Brigham Young to take stronger leads in their conference races today, but a startling upset left Columbia's leadership of the Ivy League in peril. Duke, ranked 10th nationally by the United Press Board of Coaches came through with a handsome 74-59 triumph over . Virginia when a loss would have meant being forced to share the Atlantic Coast Conference top spot with North Carolina. And 17th -ranked Brigham Young emphatically turned back Utah State's attempt to seize first place in the Skyline Con ference, 92-62. First Conference Loss But Columbia, playing on Its own court, was dealt a 71-70 de feat by Dartmouth that wiped out the Lions' vital "loss column" lead over second-place Prince ton. Columbia now has a 5-1 record to Princeton's 3-1, and the door is open for the Tigers to gain ground by a win over Har vard tonight. The National Invitation tourn ament added Xavier of Ohio and St. Francis of Brooklyn to its field, making a total of six teams now included for exactly half of the 12-team field. Xavier, win ner of the Queen City Tourna ment at Buffalo, N. Y., in Decem ber, has a 12-6 record. St. Fran cis, with a 16-0 mark, -is the nation's only major-college un beaten team, outside of nation al champion San Francisco. Previously named to the NIT were Duquesne, Marquette, Day ton, and Seton Hall. PUSCAS, LEWIS, PORTLANDERS TOP PAL MITT CARD SATURDAY SATURDAY PAL FIGHT CARD Main Event Jack-Puscas. Medford. vi.

Jackie Puscas, Medford, and Dale Nicely, Portland, are the young men who hit with lead like blows and Larry Lewis, Medford, is the polished young scrapper who'll be up against a fast, "tough little kid" in Darryl McQuarry, Portland. The four glovemen will be the headline performers in a 12-bout program scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. in the parochial school facility at 11th and Holly sts. Boxers from Ashland, Klamath Falls, Chiloquin and Portland, as well as Medford, will toss the hide in the big ring production. Mittmen of the local Police Athletic league wiK predomi nate on the card with nine of them .slated to don the leather. Unorthodox Nicely has been described as a lanky, unorthodox battler, who fights "open" and depends on sledge like blows to make up for defense. The Multnomah Athletic club swatter is billed as a Tennessee state titlist. His weight is listed at about 140 pounds and ' he'll slightly out weigh Puscas, who may go into the bout at around 135. Puscas in the past has relied on ability to land a knockout wallop. E;ghty-three of his vic tories have been by KOs. Recent ly, however, under the tutelage of PAL Coach Hugh Jennings, the 23-year-old ex-Eugene resi dent has been brushing up on the art of defense. Jackie is a much respected and feared boxer iri the north west and the national AAU mantle he won last, year Js evi dence of his prowess. But Nicely took him m at Klamath a couple o ?;eek ends ago and the Tennessee title winner earned a split decision. Some fistic fol lowers felt the nod should have gone the other way. Puscas will aim Saturday to back their con tention. Some opinion has been voiced that Lewis is the best amateur in his class in the northwest. That statement has been made despite a couple of recent set backs suffered by the 1955 Ore gon flyweight champ. But it is pointed out that ..the-: Medford youth must stick to what he's learned in training to live up to his high rating. Cut Stops Fight McQuarry and Lewis met at Klamath Falls late in January but they didn't have chance to trade pokes long. A rut oeened in McQuarry's eyebrow in the first round. Lewis got the ver dict ! on a technical knockout. The tangle was z close one up to the halting point. The Portland er also is a Multnomah Athletic club performer. The two youths will-go into action at approximately-114 pounds. Loren . Christean, Medford, will be another seeking to even the score Saturday night. The 170-pounder will take on Mose Martinez, Chiloquin, in the semi windup. . Martinez gained the decision in a close fracas at Chiloquin. The Medfordite re portedly has a good stance nd is learning to move forward to make his blows more effective and to follow up his advantages. Other PAL boys who'll mix it are Johnny and Bobby Little, Jimmy Evans, ' Jay Walker, Larry Nored and Bob Carr. Nored Is a state AAU novice champ. Evans and ,Walker are rated in the "comer" category.
