13 Cop Intramural Boxing Victories
Free-Swinging
Bouts Highlight
IM Program
Fast-moving, free-swinging ac
tion highlighted last night’s Intra
mural boxing tourney before a
large crowd at Recreation Hall af
11 fighters punched their way to
victory. Two forfeits marked the
card.
John Spangler and Larry Wert,
two 145-pound independent box
ers, went at it in the first fight
of the evening with Wert copping
the win when referee Eddie Sul
kowski stopped the bout in thr
second round.
Wert knocked Spangler to thi
canvas in the opening round with
a series of left crosses followed
by a right high on the head. Wer(
continued with his relentless at
tack in the next round until thi
bout was stopped.
Jack Stewart, Delta Upsilon, de
feated Dave Griswold, Alpha Ch:
Sigma, in a very evenly matched
fight. For the first two roundi
there was little to choose from
either man as both landed wel’
with either hand.
Opponent Tires
In the third round, Stewart be
gan to get the edge on his tirini
opponent when he connected witl
several hard rights to grab thi
victory.
Fred Siepert, Lambda Chi AI
pha, scored a unanimous decis
ion over Alpha Chi Sigma’s Al l
Geosits in a crowd-pleasing
heavyweight battle.
Both fighters fought the toe-to
toe battle with a flurry of
punches. They both exchanged
hard blows several times during
the bout, but Siepert landed the
more effective punches to cop the
decision.
Valentine Wins
Heavyweights Sam Valentine,
Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Hugh
Hollenback, Phi Sigma Kappa, en
gaged in another free-swinging
tussle, with Valentine winning
the bout on the basis of two
knockdowns.
The SPE fighter landed a solid
left to the head in the first 30
seconds of the opening round to
send Hollenback to the canvas.
An overhand right put the game,
but outfought. Phi Sig down for
a second time in the second round.
Jack Long, Chi Phi, outboxed
Ed Drapcho, Phi Delta Theta, in
a 155-pour\d bout. Both showed a
willingness to mix it up, but the
Chi Phi’s punches were too much
for the Phi Delt to cope with.
Lor\g was the aggressor as he
scored consistently with rights
and lefts to the head and body.
Oberly Cops Decision
In another heavyweight clash,
Pi Kappa Phi’s Bill Oberly used
a potent right and left hand com
bination to defeat Charles War
ren, Phi Delta Theta.
Oberly, throwing caution to the
wind, waded into his stocky op
ponent with an unorthodox style
of rights and lefts which sent the
Phi Delt into fast retreat.
Although hit with several right
hand shots to the head, the Pi
Kap continued his never-ending
attack, cornering Warren as the
final bell sounded.
Flamporis Wins
Steve Flamporis, Sigma Pi,
knocked Tom Gaffney, Sigma Nu,
down early in the second round
to grab a unanimous decision.
After a fairly even first round,
Flamporis caught Gaffney with a
solid left hook, and followed with
an overhand right to send the
Sigma Nu to the canvas.
Flamporis again forced the
fighting in the final round, stag
gering his man once more to walk
away with the victory.

'All or Nothing' Ring Test
Faces Sugar Ray Tonight
CHICAGO. Dec. 8 (JP)— Sugar
Ray Robinson’s comeback reaches
the “all or nothing” stage when
the former welterweight and mid
dleweight champ faces Bobo Ol
son, current middleweight king,
in a 15-round title match at Chi
cago Stadium tonight.
Although Sugar Ray, 35, a danc
ing dandy in his heyday, may be
the sentimental favorite to those
who fondly recall his boxing skill,
the hard money in the betting
marts has made Olson a 3 to 1
choice. If Robinson wins, he’ll be
the first ever to recapture the
160-pound title twice.
Because Robinson is on display
and a title hangs in the balance,
the radio-television sponsors are
coughing up $75,000 so that the
bout may be heard and seen on

Truman Gibson, secretary of
the promoting International Box

conservative estimates put the
crowd figure at 9000 and the gate

Until Olson, 27, ventured out of

was becoming a superman with

stopped him in three rounds he
became an ordinary mortal.
