by Andy Berger OF C Troop and Andy
Kudnik of D Troop. Both men show
ed q fine spirit and d Willingness to
take some pretty stiff hammering with
j smile. Kudnik was the aggressor in
the first four rounds. Berger has an
excellent defense and allowed his OPP
poneht to wear himself out, making
ehly an occasional rush to let Kudnik
know that he was still In the battle.

ever do, Rufus, with his expert rifle

the rest of u.s." The crowd was abso-
lutely impartial during the entire con-
test, and cheered both men alike every
time they gained an advantage.
Some of the best. boxing ever seen
at Sehofield was shown in this bout,
which went the full ten rounds with

enough to stagger the strongest man,

without any apparent distress.
