TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Puscas, Lewis Grab Disputed Verdicts on PAL Fight Program Jackie Puscas and Larry Lewis were given disputed decisions in feature bouts on the PAL club boxing card at St. Mary's gym Saturday night. Puscas, national .AAU 135 pound champion who recently took up living in Medford, was handed a split verdict over Dale Nicely smooth operating Port land southpaw. The nod was a reversal of a decision Puscas had recently dropped to the same foe and there were those in good numbers in the packed gym who thought that he had dropped another fight. When the decision was announced the cat-calls came from all corners of the building but were min gled with some who thought it a just verdict. Nicely employed a nice right hand jab and a good left cross to make Puscas look bad at times. Nicely's punches repeat edly found their mark but weren't'; Heavy enough to do ' much damage. Puscas, especial ly after the first round, tried often to land his howitzer and although he scored several times with his big bombs, Nicely al ways managed to see that they landed where . little damage could result. Best Boxing Match Lewis also reversed a previ Iacc hv nutoointins Darrell KJ W J "J . McQuary, Portland, via a split decision. The state aau 114 pound chamD and the Multno mah Athletic club ace staged by far the best boxing match on the 13-fight card and drew a rousing round of applause when it was over. Like the final scrap, there were those in the crowd thought McQuary was "robbed"' but they were just about drown ed out by the crowd of Lewis supporters. The little champ is just . about the most popular fighter in the PAL stable. : Loren Christean, 170, Med ford, , was putting up a good "fight " against ; . Mose .. Martinez, 165, Chiloquiri; and appeared to be headed for victory until he ran into an overhead left in-ihe second round and was dropped flat on his back. There appar ently was some misunderstand ing by Christean on the count for he appeared to be waiting to rise from one knee wheh Refe ree Don Kane tolled the 10 count. Jerry . Jennings, 160, Ashland, won a unanimous decision over Ed Cole, 160, Chiloquin, in an other decision which didn't satis fy the crowd, who thought Cole had earned the nod. , Bout Stopped ; Dave Peters, 135, Portland, lost on a technical knockout to Porky Cole, 135, Chiloquin, in the second round. Peters seemed to be making a good account of himself until he got caught in a corner in the second round and turned his back on Cole. He left his head unprotected and under AAU rules a fighter must pro tect his head at all times. When he didn't do this, Kane stopped it. ' Larry Nored, 130, Medford, gained a split verdict over Dick Rensfield," 130, Ashland, in an other scrap which , gave the St. Louis, Duke, BYU Suffer Jolts ' By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Duke, St. Louis and Brigham Young.,-were jolted ,by the big gest upsets of the basketball week end and 'the result today was that three more conference races were scrambled for the stretch run. Duke's 80-77 defeat by Wake Forest threw the Atlantic Coast conference into a three-way tie; St. Louis' 67-66 loss to Houston boosted Houston into the Mis souri Valley conference lead by an eyelash; and Brig Young s 82-63 rout by Utah left the two teams tied for the top spot in the Skyline conference. That just makes these races typical of the entire national picture for only UCLA in the Pacific . Coast conference and Southern Methodist in the Southwest have "comfortable" leads. Wake Forest used . only six players and sank 49 per cent of its shots in toppling Duke. That created a three-way tie at 9-2 in the records among these two teSms- and North Carolina, with Tforth Carolina State actually the most highly-regarded team in the loop with the No. 4 na tional ranking by : the United Press Board of Coaches right behind at 8-2.- The lineup will be changed Tuesday night when N.C. State meets Duke. " "Things are very much the same in almost every major con ferences: Alabama is. only one- game up on Vanderbilt and Kentucky in the Southeastern conference.

But it was Nored's incessant pressing forward which apparently caught the eye of the officials. Jimmy Evans, 95, Medford, won a unanimous nod over Skip Mills, 98, Chiloquin. Jay Walker, 135, Medford, was surprised in the first round by Beanie Crest, 138, Chiloquin, and dropped by an explosive right to the jaw for an eight count. Walker came storming from his corner determined to get it over with quick but Crest, who showed an ocean of skill and could be a good crowd pleaser on future PAL cards, slowed him down quick.

On Feb. 13, 1943, the United States Marine Corps started enlisting women to fill a quota of 18,000 ' women Ma rines. During World War II, women marines were utilized in many unusual fields such as parachute rigging, control towers, motor transport and the ground phase of aviation. 1,000 women were sent to Hawaii for duty with Marine Corps garrison forces there. In September, 1946, all the women marines except 200 were discharged. In time, however, the peed for the services of wo men' was again realized and cul minated in the Armed Services Integration act of 1948. Today there are approximate ly 3,000 enlisted women Ma rines and 100 women Marine officers on active duty through out the United States and Ha waii. Women previously served in the Marine Corps from August, 1918 to July, 1919, and were called Marinettes.

I Idaho . 1 8 By SCOTT EAILLIE United ress Sports Writer The Pacific Coast Conference basketball race resembled a two divisional affair today despite the best intentions of those who decided the league should be lumped into one unit. Headed by proud UCLA, four of the top five teams in the standings all were members of the old Southern Division from California. The Washington Hus kies were the only- representa tive of the old Northern Divis ion to make a showing. They are holding fourth place, just ahead of Stanford. The Bruins virtually wrapped up the PCC crown last weekend by defeating Stanford twice, 50 48 and 81-72, in a pair of thrill ers while Southern California kept in second place with a dou ble win over Washington State, 76-55 and 85-54.
