Thirteen IM Boxers Record Victorie
128-lb., 'Heavy' Matches
Spark All-Fraternity Card
Close matches and scrappy boxers were prevalent last night
at Recreation Hall as Intramural boxing ended its first week of
action.
Thirteen fraternity men advanced into the second round of the
tournament, four via the forfeit route. Sigma Nu, Delta Tau Delta,
and Delta Upsilon each sent two men into the ring, but only the
DU entries came through in winning style.
The initial match of the evening, a 128 pound event, gave
notice of what was to follow in
the remaining eight bouts. Owen
Best, Phi Kappa Sigma, fought
back from a first round pounding
by Bob Simmons, Sigma Pi, to
defeat Simmons on a very close
split decision. Simmons, who
started the bout in a fast, aggres
sive fashion, couldn’t keep up the
Sace in the final round as Best
attered him into submission.
Sid Grobman, Phi Epsilon Pi,
floored Ron Carey, Theta Delta
Chi, once in the first stanza and
then proceeded to win a unani
mous decision in a 175 pound con
test.
Grobman Carries Offense
Grobman carried the fight to
his foe, putting Carey on the de
fense the majority of the time.
One of the closest matches of
the evening saw Jack Stewart,
DU, decision John Behene, Delta
Tau Delta. The 135 pound Behene
threw more punches than his
smaller foe, but Stewart waited
for a good opportunity before un
leashing any of his punches.
Dick Eldridge, Phi Delta Theta,
started out on a strong offensive
attack against Tom Gaffney, Sig
ma Nu, but the 165 pound battler
lost a close decision to Gaffney in
a free-swinging affair.
Wins Unanimous Decision
In a 145 pound fracas, Fred
Martin, Pi Kappa Phi, bulled his
way to a unanimous decision over
Dave Barney, Sigma Nu. Martin,
although a few inches smaller
than his opponent, used a' bob
and weave attack, mixed in with
a host of right and left hand
swings, to eliminate Barney from
the tournament.
The next three bouts never got
further than the second round be
fore referee Ed Sulkowski brought
them to an end.
Earl Cairns, representing Theta
Xi, defeated Joe Fox, Phi Sigma
Kappa, in a 165 pound match. The
bout began at a slow pace with
neither fighter gaining much
headway, but toward the end of
the first round Cairns reached his
foe with a couple of left jabs.
Scores Knockdown
Cairns went into the next period
with a flurry of punches, finally
knocking Fox down with a left
to the body before the fight was
stopped.
Jim Lockerman, the other DU
entry, also forced his 175 pound
bout with Phi Kappa’s Ron Ve
losky to be halted in the second
round. Lockerman, although he
owned a powerful left hand, used
a solid right hook to knock Ve
losky to the canvas in the second
period.
VelOsky stood up to Locker
man’s powerful attack in the first
round before weakening.
Wins in Fastest Time
Herb Hollowell, Delta Tau Del
ta, finished off Dick Kohler, Theta
Xi, in the fastest time of the eve
ning. His deadly accuracy of
punches kept Kohler on the verge
of being floored throughout the
first round, and he continued his
destructive attack in the second
round until the referee stepped
in with 16 seconds gone.
In the final bout of the evening,
the 145 event, Frank Meacci, The
ta Kappa Phi, lost a decision to
scrappy Ben Wright, Kappa Al
pha Psi. The match was fought
on even terms until the third
round, when Wright used his
speedy attack to put Meacci on
the defense.
Four other men won their fights
by way of forfeits when their
opponents failed to make the
weight limit. Merle Smith, Sigma
Phi Epsilon, 135 pound; Gene
Griffin, Theta Chi, 145 pound;
Steve Flamporis, Sigma Pi, 165
pound; and A 1 Geosits, Alpha Chi
Sigma, unlimited; were the vic
tors.
Still Without Win
