KEELER'S The University Bookstore Since 1926 Closer Crowns By LOUIE PRATO Fifteen boxers moved into the home stretch of the Intra mural boxing tournament last night at Recreation Hall. Three independents advanced into the final round and 12 fraternity men swept into the semi-finals. The remaining semi-final bouts will be held tonight and tomor row night with the championship fights scheduled for Thursday night. Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Delta Upsilon, and Lamb da Chi Alpha had two men en tered in last night’s competition but only SPE could send both fighters into the winners’ spot light. ' Fred Knipe, 145, staved off a third period rally by Neil Gear hart to cop a unanimous decision in the opening bout. Knipe car ried the fight to his foe in the first two rounds but Gearhart came to life in the third. Stopped in Second Round Sam Valentine, SPE„ scored a convincing victory over DU’s Tony Tremonte in an outstanding heavyweight bout. The fracas was stopped at the end of the second round when it appeared that Tremonte was completely outclassed. Valentine staggered his opponent on three different occasions in the first round and added to his points with a knock down in the second. Pi Kappa Phi’s Bill Oberly earned the right to meet Valen tine in a semi-final bout with a split decision win over Lambda Chi’s Fred Siepert. Oberly’s powerful punches kept the Lamb da Chi entry on the run through out the fight. Gamble Cops Decision Joel Gamble, Phi Sigma Kap pa, copped a 155-lb. attraction from Chi Phi’s Jack Long. Al though Long opened up with a strong attack, he tried in the final two rounds, leaving the road open for Gamble to record his victory. Sigma Nu’s Steve Haky, two time intramural fistic champion, moved another step closer in his quest for the heavyweight title by winning a unanimous decision from Phi Kappa’s Ignatius Hokaj. Haky, who copped the 165-lb. crown in 1953 and the 175-lb. title last year, used a hard left jab, combined with a stylish defense, to defeat the Phi Kappa heavy weight. In the other heavyweight quarterfinal, Frank Olney of Del ta Sigma Phi gained a split de cision win from Kappa Delta Rho’s John Arnst. Arnst kept on the move throughout the fight, but the KDR battler took a beat ing from Olney’s punches. Strange Cornered Scrappy Ben Wright, Kappa Al pha Psi’s 145-lb. pugilist, pounded out a split decision win over Phi Kappa Tau’s Jack Strange. Al though Wright was six inches smaller than his adversary, he continually cornered Strange on the ropes only to have him slip away before he could land a hard punch.
