last night, Frank Iannuzzi, Oliver
WPA, clinched the light-heavy-
weight toga with a wild-swinging
attack that gave him two decisions.
Norval Binninger, Oliver fighter,
upset Shelbyville's Marshall Allison,
runner-up last year, for the light
weight title. Those eight glove
tossers reaped the top honors on
last nights show, but most of the
humor, pathos and unbridled action
evolved from the melees in the
Novice bracket.
Gustafson Takes 1t"
Fans DOTTED their hats last mis- t
again to Jimmie Gustafson, a cham
pion in every respect, who refused
to be Subdued. Gustafson, who stole
the show last week in a bloody up
hill fight in which he won toe-to-
toe SUGGEST with Don Buckalow
Fort Harrison's staunch- hearted
soldier, drew the loudest round of
applause last night.
Gustafson wouldn't 60 down last
night even in the face of a pile
driving attack by Lee Lewis, terrific
hitting Richmond Negro. Lewis hit
him with everything but the flood
lights in the first round, but q Jaw
of steel shook the blows off. It was
give and take for three furious

their ALL Only the incoming blows
seemed to keep the fighters from
falling face forward as they slugged
it out in the center of the ring.
GustafSon won popular decision
and the novice middleweight crown.
A new star scared to the top of
the novice heavyweight ranks. Karl
Brauer, Tech High School fullback
fighting under the colors of South
Side Turner's, discovered poison in
his gloves that won him the title
in that division. Brauer kayoed
Glen Maxwell, biggest mauler of
the tourney, with one sudden blow
to the button in the second round.
He returned to defeat Johnnie
Dagelow of Shelbyville who had
cloWned his way to a victory over
Thomas Wise of the U. S. Tires
A. G.
The iron man of last nights
card was Willard Troutman of
Colonial A. G. Encountering one
of the most savage punchers in the
tourney, Allen Bridewell, Senate
Avenue Y. Negro, Troutman battled
his way to kayo in the third
round. Bridewell started a flow of
blood with the first blow of the
fight, but Troutman overcame the
handicap and beat him at his own
game.
Hand Is Injured
After that gruelling battle, he
came back to decision Bob Blue,
Turner'S stiff puncher, who had
scored a quick and easy. Knockout
earlier in the evening. In the last
bout on the program Troutman in
jured his blasting right hand and
was forced to retire, giving the
novice weller title to Eliza Bates,
Bess A. C.'s mauling Negro.
Bobby Guss, Washington A. C.
flyweight; Rucky Cunningham,
Oliver bantam; Harold McDermid,
Washington featherweight; Floyd
Ford, Bess A. c. flashy Negro light
weight, and Lloyd Dodd, husky
soldier, captured well-deserved til
ties in the other novice branches.
Five knockouts, five technical
kayoes one default caused by an in
jury and % close decisions resulted
in the 39-fght program which
lasted almost six hours. Asswas
the case each of the preceding Fri

last, afraid it would miss some Of the
outstanding performances.
