Decisive Wins by Greeks Highlight IM Basketball FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20 IM Director Calls Bouts 'Best Ever' By VINCE CAROCCI Sports Editor The Intramural "Cavalcade of Sports" went on the air lait night as the IM boxing finalists held the Recreation Hall spot light in what Assistant IM Director and ' tourney chief "Dutch" Sykes termed the "greatest set of finals we've ever had." With a crowd of approximately 600 neople watching. the amateur Rocky Marcianos put on a dis:- play of punching power, courage and brute strength not too often seen in these parts. "Did you ever see such fighting?" Sykes asked ezrxitedly. Fighting there was—and plen ty of it. Five fights had to be stopoed during tin course of the finals. In each case, it was simply a mailer of the winner having too much for the game loser. Although fraternity men domi nated the viewing audience, iron- icaih' enough it was the Gary Fry-Dick Lackman fight which drew the biggest ovation cf- the night. ' Throwing caution out the ring, both fighters fought at toe-to-toe, giving and taking with all the ctrenr2th their bodies could mus ter. Both were arm weary at the end. By DON CASCIATO SEMI
