SIX WATERBURIANS
 MAKE FINALS IN AMATEUR TOURNEY
BanOla and Vassola Hit of
 Ten-BOut Program Last Night

AS a result of last nights semi- final elimination bouts in the Dia- mond Glove amateur boxing com petition for state championships held at the Phoenix avenue, this city of brass and bargains will be well represented when the final jousting in leather takes place dur ing the week of March goth either in this city or New Haven. Phil Brosseau, accepted light heavyweight champion of the state and Al Leveque who intends to make a serious bid for heavyweight honors in the novice class were scheduled to box last evening, but there was none who cared to try conclusions with either of them which automatically advanced them to the final competition of the cur rent tournament.
 In addition. Dave Kelly's latest pride of the Y. M. c. A. young Ken Perry won two more bouts arun- ming, polishing off Louis Borzain of New Haven and Tony Mitchell of this city which makes him seri- ous contender for top hoonrs in the middleweight divisions novice bouts and Diamond glove. Chraley Eagle went to the wars again and came back quickly with @ T. K. o. over Mickey Bird of Stamford whose fistic wings were clipped early and often during the short ened session. Eagle hit hard in the first round and had Bird fly ing quite low in an effort to keep afloat.
 Some Seekers Wally Banola of New Britain won his second great fight in the tour nament bouts staged in, this city, when he got Referee Jifn Galvin's nod over Al Vassola of Stamford in a swinging from the floor special that proved the best fight of the ten bout program. Both boys were weary from leathering one another, and it was by no great margin that Banola, who beat the state title holder Chester Rudy, won his go with the sturdy Stam- ford seeker. It was an old fashioned Donneybrook and had the customers in high glee. Ban olas' edge came as a result of his right hand smash in the second round which quickly acquainted Vassola with the canvas for a nine count.
 Going Well
 Andy Chichetti, another Y. M. c. A. product was the second Wa terbury double winner of the night. being Joe Stanski and Al Miller both of New Haven in 12S pound bouts. Adam Kohen scerod a knockout over experienced Ernie Miller of New Haven when the lat ter took a stiff one in the middle and decided to stay on his knee long enough to hear the ten count before arising. Joe Lombardi of Waterbury forfeited his bout when he refused to box because of a mouth cut.
 Howie Abele of Meriden who looks like classy amateur talent stopped Solly Forlanzo of stamford | in the first round with a solid right to the stomach. Abele is quite able to handle himself and those nit tens. Frankie Pazden of Oakville 1 looked we'll able to defend his state lightweight championship by easily outpointing Jack Tarzan of Torrington in a lively three round bout. Summary:
