BY BURTON HAWKINS,

~ LlMAA1NG SUCCESSFUL bOC6
season, Catholic University's
boxing team trounced
~ rather mediocre band Of Cor
nell mittmen. 60, last night at Brook
land gym before $500 spectators 10
wind up local collegiate indoor sports
activities
Probably the most unorthodox col
lection Of leather-pushers in collegiate
circles. the Ithacans failed to cope
with the more polished Cardinal
clouters.
BY their triumph, the Cardinals ter
minated flst-slinging festivities for the
year with record of five team vic
tories against two defeats.
A stringbean squad, composed Of
lanky. awkward lads, Cornell presented
team with a surplus of spirit which
helped to Offset q woeful lack Of ring
experience.
Saunders Scores for Cornell.
EORFEITING the 155-pound bout to
Cornell due to George Mulligan's
inability to make the weight, Coach
Eddie Lafond showed the regular 155-
FOUNDER. Sully Greco. up notch and
he came through with the only knock
out of the evening, flooring Bill Nc
Laughlin after / minute and 10 sec
onds Of the first round.
The Big Reds only actual triumph
was recorded by Bob Saunders, 125-
pound scrapper. Pouring both fists
into Tex Guinan while running back
ward, Saunders offset Guinan's ag-
gressiveness with a withering body
attack. Tex, however. landed the
most telling blow of the fray in the
third round when he planted right
to Saunders mouth which drew
blood
Dave Bernstein. plucky l15-pounder
who supplanted the scholastically in
eligible Gene Misenhelter. made an
auspicious college ring debut by de-
feating Luis Torregrosa, Puerto Rican
captain of the invading team.
Sears La Sale. elected captain of
Catholics team for the past season
just prior to last nights match,
clipped Johnny Taussig Cornell light
weight, repeatedly with . bruising
body and head attack.
D ALLYING after a slow first round,
~ Fred Mix. Cardinal 145-pounder,
cracked out decision over Ira Wilson
in the most dubious verdict Of the
evening Most fans thought Wilson's
first round margin. coupled with an
even third heat. should have entitled
the Ithacan at least to draw.
Greco, in winning over Mclaughlin,
shot home a stiff right to the chin
which sent the visiting larruper crash
ing to the canvas. In falling, Nc
Laughlin's head hit the floor and it
was five minutes before he regained
consciousness.
Fred Rydzewski, light heavyweight,
and Leo Katalinas. heavyweight, COM
pleted the rout of the Big Red nit
ten manipulators, winning decisions
over Maury Bernstein and lrv jenkins,
respectively.
Rydzewski, puzzled by Bernstein's
defense, paused twice in the first
round to scratch his head ana then
went to work and won easily.
Katalinas, Jenkins in BrawL
x ATALINAS and jenkins staged a
~ brawl which included everything
but clever fighting. Leo piled up an
early lead on body punches which off,
set jenkins late rally.
