nalized his start after the lightweight

break with Joe Mandot. Southern light
weight, here tonight. 1t war match In
which there was more science than action.
The biggest criticism TO be offered Of
Kilbancs work tonight was that he was
too careful and took too few chances.
Mandot did all the forcing and practically
all the leading. II was Mandot. not Kill
bane, who made 81 a real fight.
Until late in the tenth round neither
became marked and no blood had been
spilled. Then Mandot, stung To dcspera-
ton by his failure to lure Johnny into
opening up. bored In and put left sw'ns
