reputation became a thing of
the past Thursday night
when the Long Beach mid

feat before the failing fists of
Jack Morissette, Brawley, in the
main event at the Ell Centre Athle-

Morissette, employing free
swinging left hand which plum
meted homeward consistently, won
three of the four rounds. The first
round was so slow neither fighter
deserved an edge.

ed an easy triumph over Jack Cur
ley, Long Beach, in the semi wind

Tuffy Loudermilk returned to
action with a close decision over
Ross Rulick. Jack Arnold won two
decisions, defeating Bill Gentry and
Mike VaSquez.
Don Woolridge chased Charlie
O'Connell for four rounds to take
decision over the Long Beach
amateur. Had the Wooiridge-O'-
Connell bout been a track meet,
O'Connell would have won with laps
to spare.
Joe Terminal decisioned Willie
Simmons in the only action packed
bout of the night. Simmons made a
game stand but the Indian was the
