band of Catholic University boxers
is still very much a part Of the
picture as the National Collegiate
Athletic Association boxing tour
nament goes into the semifinal
stage tonight. Not only are the
Cardinals still in there, but they've
taken the play away from the
vaunted sectional champions and
are favored to win titles in at
least three classes.
Leo KatalinaS, heavyweight;
Fred Slant, middleweight, and
Davie Bernstein, bantamweight,
advanced to the semifinal round
when smoke Of battle from the
first days sessions had cleared.
Jay Turner, the C. u. light heavy
weight, automatically gained the
semifinals, since only four are en-
tered in his class. This division,
incidentally, may produce an all
District final since Jim Brady, of
Georgetown, fights Ray Schmidt,
Virginia, defending champion,
while Turner engages Carl Killian.
Bernstein won his bout via the
decision route over AL Michael, of
L. S. u, while Katalinas scored
one Of the days 10 knockouts by
flattening Don Walker, San Jose.
But it was Slant who was the hit
of the show. The methodical,
shuffling, dead-panned sophomore
encountered Joe Golsan, Of L. s. u,
Southeastern Conference light
heavyweight champion, who has
dropped down to the middleweight
division for this tournament.
| STANT COMES BACK
Golsan, blond, Joe Palooka-
looking yoIlngster, was q top
heavy favorite to score and he
started out as if he were going to
blast Slant right back to Washing.
ton. Freddie was wobbly at the
end Of the first round from several
hard smashes to the head, but his
vocabulary evidently doesn't en-
brace the word defeat. Slant
came back strong in the second
and floored GolSan with a steam
ing left hook to the chin. Again
in the third, the L. S. U. entrant
went down, this time from q right
to the chin. Freddie won going
away and received a tremendous
ovation.
Berstein had little trouble with
Michael and outstabhed the L. s.
y. kid with q left hand. He
couldn't get away from that blow
and every time Davie threw it,
Michael's chin gave 1t a big vel
come.
Katalinas boxed a beautiful
fight. Walker was a tall, rangy
gent who shifted and bobbed-
never giving Leo a chance to park
that potent right hand. "Kats"
stopped Walkers bicycle whirl in
the second with right smash to
the head which had Don goofy at
the bell. A furry Of punches
drove Walker to the canvas in the
third, whence he sat out the dance
for the rest Of the evening.
ONLY SETBACK
The only setback for the local
forces occurred when George
Red" Dorr Of Maryland was
stopped by Ralph Dorand, of
Pittsburgh. Red was down twice
and it was all over in 1872 Of the
first.
Dorand, incidentally, will face
Bernstein in the semifinals to-
night.
This may be an augury of sue
cess since Davie already holds
decision over the Pittsburgh bat
tier. Katalinas will oppose Rene
TrocheSset, Of L. s. u, and this
may be another good omen since
the Cardinal boys have had the
hex on those Tigers in this tourna-
ment.
