FRIDAY.I4 . qmpER IQ. 1954
4 TKOs Scored
In IM Ring Battles
Caution was an unheard word in IM boxing last night
when four technical knockoutS' were scored on a nine-match
card. In nearly all of the bouts at least one of the fighters
was knocked to the canvas as slugging prevailed for the first
time this year.
In the first bout, Rod Farris, Theta Kappa Phi, TKO'd
Bob Carver, Phi Kappa Alpha, in the 175-pound class. Farris
floored his opponent twice during the second round to notch
an easy win after he had Carver in trouble from the opening
bell.
In the second fight it took Ed
Bachtle, Alpha Gamma Rho, only
30 seconds to dispose of Howie
Levine, Phi Sigma Delta. Bachtle
rushed out of his corner at the
sound of the bell and threw a ter
rific right cross which caught Le
vine on the , way in- and floored
him. The referee then stepped in
and stopped the bout.
The third bout proved as excit
ing as the preceding ones with
Charley Hickey, Delta Upsilon,
scoring a unanimous decision over
Ralph Johnson, Theta Kappa Phi.
Hickey at 155 pounds had John
son on the verge of a knockdown
in the third round but the bell
rang to end the fight.
Russ Mandeville, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, fighting in the unlimited
class, /scored a TKO over Charley
Yarbrotigh, Phi Kappa Sigma.
Mandeville used a good left hook
in battling his way to victory. Yar
brough showed plenty of game
ness as he rushed his opponent
throughout the bout.
In the 135-pound class, Andy
Bergesen, Sigma Nu, scored a
TKO over Joe McCartney, Theta
Kappa Phi. Bergesen packed too
many guns for his less exper

ienced opponent. The TKO was
registered in the secoud round af
ter McCartney was caught with a
smashing left to the face. ,
The closest bout of the card was
registered in the 135-pound class
as John Gilleland, Phi Sigma
Kappa, scored a split decision
over Ron Falk, Theta Delta Chi.
Gilleland's accuracy proved to be
the margin as he, scored time
after time with his left hook. Falk
scored well with an overhand
right which seemed to annoy Gil
leland more than it hurt him.
In the best fight of the night
Ray Flint, Theta Kappa Phi,
scored a decision over Terry Stu
ver, Lambda Chi Alpha, in the
155-pound class. Flint floored his
opponent in the first and second
rounds. In the third Stuver re
taliated with smashing lefts and
rights to the face as he had his
opponent in serious trouble and
on the verge of a knockdown, but
the bell ended the fight.
In the final fight Bill Reilly,
Delta Tau Delta, won a decision
over Tom Richards, Delta Sigma
Phi. The 145-pound clash was the
slowest bout of the evening as
both boys were well matched.

My job is to help solve problems
of noise and other interference on tele
phone lines due to power interference.
Inductive co-ordination is the technical
term for the work.
"First thing the Chief Engineer ex
plained to me was that 'all the answers
aren't in the book.' He was right. Most
of the problems have required a com
bination of electrical engineering, a
knowledge ,of costs and generous
amount of ingenuity: 1 like it that way.
It's given me an immediate opportunity
to put into practice the theory I learned
at school.

McGowan Dies
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (I')
Bill McGowan, the most durable
umpire in major league history,
died today after suffering his sec
ond heart attack in less than a
week. He was 58.
The peppery little McGowan re
tired earlier this year after illness
cut short his career. He had been
an Ameridan League umpire for
30 years and had set a record that
will be difficult for anyone ,to
equal.
