Taking two fights by techni-
cal knOckOuts, two by de-
cision and one by forfeit,
Catholic University's crack boxing
team turned in hard-earned 5-3 de-
cision over Duke University's Blue
Devils here tonight.
The lone disputed decision of the
evening came in the bantamweight
scrap between the previously unbeaten
Bobby Price OF Duke and Dave Bern
stein Of the Cardinals. Bernstein
opened we'll and piled up big margin
OF points in the first round, but news
paper men figured Prices comeback in
the second and third chukkers was
enough to give him a narrow victory.
Referee Pattie Mills. however, gave
Bernstein the decision by wide
margin, his score card reading So
points to As in favor OF the Catholic
U. boy.
The advertised feature bout Of the
evening failed to materialize. Capts.
Danny Farrar of Duke and Fred Mix
OF the Cardinals were slated to have
q natural, but Coach Eddie La Fond of
the visitors would not put Mix on due
to the fact that the Cards have an
important match with Villanova next
week. Farrar knocked out Mix in their
meeting in Washington last season
and the Catholic U. coach didn't think
the risk worth while. The crowd Of
approximately $500 didn't like the
fact the match was Cancelled and
made their dlSapproval audiblY known.
