ing. took a close decision from MS
old college rival. Bobby GoiSceir.
formerly o. The University OF VIZ
GINA. and former holder OF the
Southern conference lightweight
title. IN the Armory auditorium
before some 5000 shouting fans
last night.
The Hendersonville boy. who
has won conference titles IN two
classes in two years Of college
boxing, had his hands full in
handling the clever Golstein. VINO
according to observers, fought the
best fight of his entire career.
Quarles overcame the cleverness
of the Washington boy with his
terrific left handed punching,
which had the former Cavalier on
the floor for the first time in his
ring career in the first round
Quarles was given the fight by
one of the judges and the referee,
while the second judge voted IN
favor of Golstein. The decision
was much discussed, but was con-
Cured in by a majority Of news
paper men present. II was the con-
census of opinion that the Virgin
ian might have earned draw eX-
cept for the count of nine which
he took in the first round of the
fight.
Quarles entered the ring with
the determination 70 win by a
knockout, and he carried the fight
to his opponent during the entire
three rounds. In exactly five sec
onds after the gong rang to start
the first round Quarles landed on
Golstein's head with a terrific
left jab which set the Cavalier on
the canvas on his back. Golstein
did not seem to be badly hurt, but
rested on one knee while the ref
cree counted up to nine. The din
: was so deafening that the referee
kneit beside Golstein and count
/. ed directly into his ear so that
there would be no mistake about
: the count.
Golstein apparently profi.ed
/ greatly from this initial setback.
and he fought cautiously during
the remainder of the round.
In the second and third rounds
Golsteln staged great comeback
/ put our score sheet favored
Quarles by a hair in the second
round and Golstein by a very
slight margin in the third round.
Quarles punished his opponent
greatly throughout the fight with
a left Jab 20 the stomach and in
the final two rounds Golgteiu
WINGED visibly each time Quarles
landed.
After the fight Golstein stated
to newspapermen that he thought
he had won. Quarles' comment
was that Bobby was plenty tough
and that he had fought harder
than ever before IN order to gain
a decision.
: Rain fell here yesterday after
noon and during the fight. but il
failed to prevent several thousand
fans from attending the fight. The
official count was 5000 people in
: round numbers and the house was
practically a sell out, only q few
seats on the main floor remaining
untaken, and most of them haC
previously been sold.
Both men We're largely support
ed in the audience, and Qaarlet
particularly seems 10 have gained
the support Of the Richmond fans
