cent and University of Utah football

Close Range Work
The men fought almost constantly at
close range throughout the entire bat
tie, and while in this position Wolgast
sent in smash after smash on the Cali
fornian's jaw and face, and soon the
blood was spouting in streams from his
mouth and nose. One round was a rep
etition Of the other. with Wolgast in
Yariably holding the upper hand.
In the twelfth round Powell made
his only showing. 1t was the most
vicious round of the fight, and for
moment it looked as if Powell might
turn the tables. He sent in several
ponderous right smashes as the east
erner rushed in and forced him TO stall
out most of the round. Toward the
close of the round, however Wolgast
cut loose again, and after administer
ing a fearful beating on the Califor-
nian, the latter shot his bolt and went
to his corner in a semi-groggy con-
dition.
Wolgast again took the lead and held
1t to the end all the time Furnishing
Powell severely about the face and
bringing fresh blood in almost every
round. Old ring followers said after
the fight that not since the days of
George (Kid) LaVigne had n fighter
created the impression left by Wolgast.
His speed, endurance and aggressive
ness were marvellous, while PoWelrs
punches had little if any effect on him.
Wolgast also showed himself to be
the possessor of powerful punch, and
1t was only Powell's wonderful ability
to absorb punishment that prevented
a knockout.
Powell, although beaten, was not dis
graced He fought a stubborn, game
fight, but lost to a better man.
Powells face was badly disfigured
at the end Of the contest and his body
also showed evidence Of Wolgast's
punches. Wolgast did not go scot free,
his left eye being badly swollen, his
lips split and his nose somewhat
lacerated.
In a scheduled fifteen-round prelim-
mary to the PoWell-Wolgast fight
Tommy Mccarthy won from Frank c.
Smith in the ninth round. Referee Sol
Leyinson stopped the contest and
awarded the verdict to Mccarthy.

GEYER IN CONDITION

But Notwithstanding the ominous
rumble which emanates from the Geyer
training camp, Willis hackers are
soaking the family jewels in order to
back the northerner. Moreover on past
performances the Frisco fighter fig
ures to cop the fat end of the purse.
Geyer's punch which almost spelled
"adios' for Willis was a lucky hay
maker Willis outfought and outboxed
his man in almost every round of the
earlier portion of the fight and could
have lost only through a knockout. To-
night he will enter the ring with one
victory back of him and possessed of
the confidence which is a fighters
greatest assets Willis also is a real
boxer who handles himself admirably
and can mix things with the best of
them. Charles Eyton will send the big
boys on their way after the pork and
beaners have given the fans taste of
what is to follow.
Openers Look Good
Should the main event last but a
small portion of the scheduled num-
Der Of frames, one of the best prelimi-
nary cards which has ever graced a
main event should give the fans their
moneys worth of fast milling. In the
semi-windup Foxy Kid Cleveland
has been matched with a fighter whose
whirlwind style and terrific punch
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-30

promise TO put n quietus on the dusky
lad. Cleveland while giving away sew
eral pounds in weight is counting on
his cleverness to bring him the laurels
OF victory. Secretary Hancock has
been greatly impressed with Kane's
style of milling and believes that the
boy can hold his own with any of the
local lads of his weight.
Gene McGovern and Joe Iivermore
also should furnish a fast bout both
being rugged, hard-hitting and willing
lads, McGovern has made a first class
record of late and looks for another
victory to add to The rapidly growing
string.
Rogers VS.. Boyd
Al Rogers is scheduled to step six
rounds with Jack Boyd. Rogers is in
first class condition and feels sure OF
winning while Boyd's provinces is as
yet an unknown quantity. Chester
Moss and Ed Higuar are the curtain
raisers for the evenings progrc n
which will begin at O'Clock. George
