The first match tarts at 8:30 p.m. and doors pen at 7:30. Flamond is a fast-rising Cree Indian who hails from Edmon ton, Alberta and is now making Portland his home. He has had everal matches on Portland's, weekly television boxing cards nd is yet to be defeated. He won a narrow decision over Milne at Portland on Oct. 8 after both fighters were on the floor.

Partial statistics on the exper iment show that yellow was rec ognized at least six times as quickly as red, it was revealed today by Bob Holloway, who represented the Oregon game commission at the tests. Two 10-man teams of soldiers, one group with normal eyesight, the other with color deficient vision, were used for the test series conducted against a back ground of red and yellow foliage at Fort Lewis and in the Wen atchee National forest. Although results have not been fully tabulated as yet, visi bility ratings are decisively, in favor of golden yellow for both groups of men, Holloway points out. Red was usually the poor est or next to the poorest for the majority of participants, he adds. Staged against brilliantly-hued autumn foliage, this was the most crucial test between red and yellow in the two-year pro ject which has been sponsored by the game departments of the three western states, the Nation al Rifle association, and five state optometric associations. Stu Vauqhan Topi is in Pass Receptions New York (IP) As far as the University of Utah is concerned, other college football teams can have their 6-4 or 6-5 ends. Utah is mighty happy with Stu Vaughan, a 5-8 mite of a halfback who leads all major college players in pass-catching according to statistics announced today by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau. Vaughn grabbed five passes Saturday against Brigham Young to give him 20 for the season, Gary Kapp of Utah State, the leader last week, caught only two passes against New Mexico and fell to second place with 19 Kapp still leads Vaughn in yard age, 292 to 289. Only one Rocky Mountain player Dewey Mc Connell of Wyoming in 1951 ever won a national pass receiv ing title.

Last season, coach Phil Watson of the New York Rangers sneer ingly referred to the Boston Bruins as "those bums from Bos ton." Now listen to the same Wat son discuss virtually the same team after the undefeated Bru ins clobbered the Rangers, 6-2, Wednesday night for their third straight victory of the new Na tional Hockey league season: "The Bruins are the best team in the league," fiery Phil de clared without blinking an eye.

Thursday, October 17, 1957 Upland Game Birds Freed For Hunting Portland Upland bird gun ners will have somewnere around 33,000 additional targets to bang away at come opening day, October 19. Vic Masson, chief of game bird management for the Oregon game commission, said that 23, 244 pheasants and 7,298 chukars have been released from game farms this summer with the heaviest releases during the past two months. Release of an addi tional 3,000 adult cock pheasants should be completed by the week end. During the spring months, 4, 688 adult birds were released from the E. E. Wilson game farm near Corvallis and 2,112 adult birds from the Ontario and Her miston game farms of eastern Oregon. Most of these birds were holdovers or surplus birds which would seek nesting sites in the wild. August and September saw the release of 5,444 young birds 8 to 12 weeks old into western Oregon and 11,000 youngsters into eastern Oregon pheasant lands. Western Oregon will re ceive the October plants of ad ult cocks. Chukar releases include some 3,262 adult breeders and 4,036 youngsters from 12 to 16 weeks of age. All of the birds have been raised at the Hermiston game farm. 60,652 Chukars According to Masson, this makes a total of 60,652 chukars released since plantings began in 1951. Since 1954 more than 7,000 birds have been banded to study the spread and survival of the red-legged rim dwellers. Chukar hunters can aid the game commission in this study by returning or reporting the band number, date and place of any banded bird taken. Masson said that in all prob ability the return of game farm birds to the hunter will form only a small portion of the total upland game birds taken. He bases his conviction on the ex ceptional nesting season this spring with high numbers of wild birds found in almost all sections of the state. He said that despite a low breeding pop ulation this spring, favorable nesting conditions have played a big role in the upland game bird comeback, with the largest broods seen in several years. Chukars have also resDonded well to the favorable spring weather. Summer counts on these rim-rock dwellers show that broods have been averag ing about 11 young to the fam ily. Webb Stops Jack Labua In 1st Round Louisville OP) Middle weight contender Spider Webb will fight at Madison Square Garden next month because of his 50-second knockout over Jackie Labua in their TV bout here at the Kentucky Exposi tion center Wednesday night. The Chicago Spider, who prov ed a very potent substitute when he dropped New Yorker Jackie with a right to the chin for the full count, will fight in New York on Nov. 1 or 15, according to matchmaker Billy Brown of the International Boxing club. Brown said the opponent for seventh-ranked Webb will be ex champion Gene Fullmer, Neal Rivers or Willie Vaughn. Labua Goes Hard Webb, weighing 160 pounds to Labua's 157V2, substituted on Wednesday night for Ralph .Tig er) Jones, who pulled a hip lig ament in training last Satur day. And because Webb was a sub stitute, brawny, brown-haired Labua tore after him in the early seconds of the round, hop ing to catch him "cold." Labua, in his surprise attack, did land several body', punches and one left hook to the chin that rock ed the Spider backward a few steps. But then Webb began firing back. He landed two hard left jabs, then a right that staggered the New Yorker. Next came a left jab, a left hook to the head and a bullet-straight right to the chin that dropped Jackie flat on his back.

Don Bowden Building for Record Try By HAL WOOD Berkeley, Calif. (tPI Lanky Don Bowden, so frail last year that his coach didn't want him to run any distance longer than the half mile, has built himself up to a husky 165 pounds and has his eyes set on a new world record in the glamor event of track, and field. Bowden, only American citi zen ever to crack the four-min ute barrier, is taking muscle building exercises in an attempt to put on some extra weight and gam added stamina. I m trying to increase the capacity of my rib cage," said Don, who stands 6-3 and weighed only 150 pounds last year when he. ran the mile in 3:58.7. "If can keep on gaining I think it will be easier for me to run the distance events." Did that mean he was going to quit running the half mile? Likes Middle Distance "No sir," he replied. "I'll al ways run the 880. I like that distance better than any other. can go as fast as I can all the way around the track. I don't have to worry about pac ing myself. Maybe I'll even run the quarter mile a few times." Brutus Hamilton, track and field coach at University of Cali fornia, was very careful in his handling of the 21-year-old star last season. He was fearful that, with his slim build, the lad might' permanently damage what might become the greatest run ning machine of all time. So it wasn't until the end of the season that he came up with his record-smashing effort. He had run the distance probably less than a dozen times in his college career when he set the record. Doing Special Exercises "I'm already doing a bit of running getting ready for next spring," he says now. "I'm using bar-bells and doing other spec lai exercises to ouim up my body. "Then when track and field competition gets rolling I'll be ready for a fine season, I hope "I would like to set my sights on a 3:55 mile. I know somebody will be doing it before long and it might as well be me." A senior in general education at Cal, Bowden will enter iaw school next year but says he hopes to continue running witn aaaea age and exper ience, plus his new muscle buil ding program, some coaches be lieve that Don may run the fast est mile in history in the spring of 1958.

Ducks Make Weapons of Rival Kicks University of Oregon, Eugene Oregon's strong two-deep back- field, led by its biggest ace, half back Jim Shanley, have turned their 'kickoff and punt returns into another offensive weapon The Ducks, who face Washing ton State's surprising Cougars this Saturday at Pullman, in the Pacific Coast conference's crucial" afternoon contest, have returned 16 opponent punts for 216 yards and an average of 13.5 yards per returns. An al most amazing return average compared to Oregon's four op ponents, who have returned 10 punts for only 72 yards. ' Shanley, with two kickoff re turns of 60 and 61 yards, has boosted the Ducks to a 35.8 kick off return average, with 215 yards in six returns. The Duck's opponents have ran back an even dozen for a 19.8 average. Shanley, with a fine afternoon against San Jose State last Sat urday, continued to lead the team in rushing, piling up a net 70 yards against the Spartans to run his year's mark to 344 yards, only 109 short of his full season mark last fall. In 1956, the quick North Bend senior ran for 453 yards in 10 games. Step Close Shanley also moved a step closer to Oregon's three- year career rushing mark with his San Jose performance. His to tal of 1508 yards in 24 contests over three years is nearing the Webfoot record of 1729 yards set by George Bell from 1947-49. Second to Shanley, individu ally, is junior left halfback Char lie Tourville with 135.net yards on the ground in 27 carries. The Martinez, Calif., speedster has averaged an even five yards per carry, and also threw his first touchdown pass of a two-year college career against San Jose.
