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.

A pair ot hard punching
leather slammers will pound it
out in one bout and a polished
boxer will meet a young toughie
in the other half of the main
event Saturday night when the
Medford Police Athletic league
puts on its initial fistic extrava
ganza of 1956 at the St. Mary's
school gyhinasium.
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.
Featured preliminary will
have an ex-Medford boxer, Jerry
Jennings, 165, against Eddie
Cole, Chiloquin. - Jennings is
now an Ashlander.
Proceeds will go to the Po
lice Athletic league for its acti
vities for boys of the commun
ity. Tickets have been on sale at
the police station, Sam's and
Lamport's Sportings Goods
stores, the Union and Bohemian
clubs and Brown's cafe.
