Keith optweighed Brady, and this factor seemed to hinder both boys.
 Danny Stevens. stellar, little feath- erweight Of the B. A. C.. scored an impressive, win over Steve Sarron of the Boys club. Stevens, after being rather badly mauIed about in the first session, came back in the other two and seemed on the way to a knockout victory when the third round was over.

He emulated "Shifty" Logan of Memphis in the final round. when he praneed around the ring and otherwise cut capers to ths amusement of the crowd.
