King College team, 4l2-312, at
Turner's Arena last night.
1t was a photo finish right up
to the last bout. Each team
started off with one strike, King
abdicating in the 145-pound class
and Columbus forfeiting in the
1855. The score was tied at 3l2-
312, and what promised to be an
exciting climax was merely a fly

and Dale Gay, the King College
entry.
