Belcastro made the same pre gong rush to open the second canto, but Dusette had his eyes open this time. They went the entire distance of the round and the fans were going wild for the popular Dusette to take the Weed Assassin. In the third round, after Dusette had been knocked out of the zing once, into the press section this time, he got back in and took tha fight away from Pete. Dusette's finishing clutch was a power ful, shaking lull nelson that had to be broken br force. Georges was given that fall and as soon as the fourth heat started he rushed across to grab the nelson again and the fight was over. Bclcastro wasn't the only per son to fall victim to a crick in the neck last night. Frankie Hart went the same way in the semi-final. After two rounds of clever battling, Billy Weidner spun Hart for a while, then set him down and applied a full nelson. The hold threw Hart's neck out of joint and ended the bout. The sportsman Weidner carried the groaning Hart back to the dressing room. 1 Herbie Parks took a one-fall decision from Reuben Gracia in the opener, dropkicking the Mex in the third round and taking the fall with a stamping leg lock.

Point-Duel Looks Even Lanky Lads For UCLA, OSC May Settle Issue CORVALLIS, Ore., March 7 P)The Pacific coast title will be at stake as UCLA and Oregon State open their basketball series tonight, and the outcome may well depend on an awaited duel between the far west's two top point-makers Centers Don Barksdale of UCLA and Ephraim "Hed" Itocha of Oregon State. The teams are matched so evenly in statistics that many believe the issue can be settled only through a tremendous per. formance by one of the giant centers. Either is capable of it. Barksdale, e lect D incnes ana 220 pounds, is classed by his coach, Wilbur Jones, as the best in the nation. His 16.3 points a flame for a total of 108 is second n conference southern division history only to the 232 total of Stanford's great Hank Luisetti in 1938. Hocha, ( feet inches but slander at 17S pounds, has bean the top scorer in the northern division the last two years. He totaled 217 this sea son for an average of 13,3. Coach Amory T. "Slats" Gill, who has produced five north, rn division championship teams, rates him one of the best turned out here. The big question is whether Rocha's two extra . Inches in height can overcome Barksdale's 45-pound weight advantage or vice versa. If the big boys neutralize each other, then comparative midgets at 5 feet 10 may decide the issue. They are Guard Lew Beck (1 1.6 points a game), for Oregon State, and Forward John Stanich (11.3 points a game) of UCLA. There also are 6 foot 4 Davage Minor of UCLA (9.3 a game), and 6 foot 2 Cliff CrandaU of OSC (9.8 a game). The only player ailing on cither squad is UCLA Captain Dick Perry, a guard recovering from an abscessed hip. Expected to see action later, he will be replaced in the starting lineup by six-foot Doug Sale. A second game will be played tomorrow night and a third, if necessary, Monday night Jackson Gets Another Bout Sonny Kelly Jackson, the flashy Portland colored boy, has been signed for a return bout with Ursal Snapp of Merrill, ac cording to Promoter Mack Lil lard The bout will be i Id rounder at the head of next Tuesday night'i card in the arm ory. SnaoD took a SDllt decision from Jackson here several weeks ago in the first fight Ursal has ever had to go 10 rounds. In the past he has finished off much sooner, and it was a matter of much speculation as to whether he could go the distance. Jackson, who finished the fight in much better shape than did Snapp, made him work every minute to get the decision and Ursal proved that he could last out 10 three-minute heats if necessary. Tickets for the Tuesday card have been put on sale at Matt Finnigan's sporting goods store. PUMICE SAND . Ideal for Brick Mortar and Platter. Light and Tough.

In Artie Levine, however, he meets a stand-up boxer who can hold his own with the best. Artie baa a power ful left hook and a short, straight right hand that is mighty effective.
