4 FIER Q somewhat shAky start
n that disturbed its followers
~ considerably. Catholic Uni
"A versity's current ring edition
unleashed the venom In its paws
and carved out q 5-3 victory over
Western Maryland's surprisingly
strong representatives before 5000
spectators last night at Catholic Uni
versity gym.
1rritated by the Green Terrors'
complete lack of sympathy in holding
the Cardinals on even terms in the
first four bouts. Coach Eddie LaFond's
lads rapidly located vulnerable spots
in the collective anatomy of the in
vaders and registered three knockout
conquests in the final four engage
ments.
BY the grace Of some rather astig-
mic judging. the Cards spurted into
20 lead by the end of the second
bout. Curly-haired Dave Bernstein
easily outpointed Western Marylands
Odell Oeteen in the 115-pound en-
counter. but the decision in favor of
Catholics Tex Guinan over sharp
faced Louis Norris in the 125-pound
scrap was something Of gift.
Verdict Greeted by Booex.
FVEN the rather partisan crowd
greeted the verdict with .
crescendo Of booes. The phlegmatic
Norris whacked the clean-cut Guinan
almost monotonously in the mid
section and. although absorbing
occasional solid socks to the head,
deserved no less than a draw.
Bernstein simply outmaneuvered
Osteen. pumping continuous stream
Of light lefts to the Green Terror's
face while weaving and bobbing out
of the range of his gloves. Both were
extremely cautious in the first round.
but Bernstein flicked steady flow Of
fists in Osteen's face to take the
second and third sessions.
Harold Martin captured the de-
cision over Catholics olive-skinned
Rene Benitez in the 135-pound bout,
. tame fuss,
Receives Split Decision.
RY THE admission of Charley
Haven. Western Maryland coach.
Fred Mix, Catholics captain, at least
rated draw with Bill Bender in the
145-pound tiff. The red-haired Ben
Ger. who has only a mild speaking
acquaintance of Queensbury etiquette,
forced the fight, but was outgeneraled
by the classic-featured Mix. Fred
pecked away nicely to win in the
estimation Of Judge Bob Mulhall, but
Judge Bob Eller and Referee Raw
Bowen thought otherwise.
Swarthy Sully Greco, connecting
with authoritative rights to the head,
turned Scott Brooks, Western Mary
land 155-pounder. into prey for a |
Knockout after 2 minutes and 10
seconds of the second round and
Referee Bowen stepped in at this
Juncture and awarded the bout to
Greco by technical knockout
Fred Slant, Catholics 165-pound
representative, followed suit and pre-
sented the Cards with a 40 lead by |
recording a technical knockout over
Harold Hansen after l minute of the
second round. Both boys left eyes
were sliced in the first round, but |
Slant quickly battered Hansen unn er-
cifully in the second frame and the
game Green Terror was wavering when
the bout was stopped.
Ortenzi Foe Disqualified.
Jay TURNER probably was headed ,
IN the direction of the floor any,
way. but he hardly liked the circum-
stances surrounding Tony Ortenzis
technical kayo over him in the light
heavyweight bout.
Turner, who hooked his left to the
body effectively in the first round. was
cropped by crushing right early in
the second. Immediately Jay hoped
on the canvas, but became bewildered
from the shouts Of the crowd telling
him to take a longer count. Referee
Bowen continued the count while
Turner was on his feet, so Turner
cropped to his knees again to obtain
the benefit Of q longer count. BY
doing so he was disqualified
Leo Katalinas, 234-pound Catholic |
University heavyweight. rudely erased
Western Maryland's hopes of a draw |
by slamming towering Joe O'Leair |
into insensibility in SO seconds of
the second round. Joe was floored
Tor no count in the first from a series
OF sizzling rights and ran into the
finishing right to make Catholics
debut q success.
