BROWN CONSIDERS
Commission May Order
Foes to Report Three
Days Before TiIts

George Abrams, the young
middleweight who battered his
way to victory over durable Ben
Wojack at Turner's Arena last
night, will not be permitted to box
again in the District Of Columbia
until the local boxing commission
ers certify his opponents. Com.
missioner Paul T. Haworth and
Claude Owen think that Sid
Fishel. Abrams manager is select
ing his opponents with entirely
too much care. This, of course, Is
another way Of accusing George
of being fed a succession of push
over opponents.
Commissioners Haworth and
Owen will submit their recon-.
mendations to Major Ernest W.
Brown, chief of the Metropolitan
Police and chairman Of the Dis.
trict Boxing Commission. Whether
or not the commission will order
all Of Abrams future opponents
to report here 72 hours before
their match in order that they
may be observed in a public work
out 3S a matter of conjecture
Such action would not be surpris-
ing.
ABRAMS LACKED WALLOP
Abrams acquired plenty of ex.
perience in his eight-round brawl
with Wojack. The New York boy
Is strictly a catcher, but he is not
wholly lacking in ring guile. He

makes y rocking, uncertain target.
The only thing wrong with him
was. that after his bobbing and
weaving carried him into counter.
ing position. Wojack either didn't
know how to punch, or was Just
too slow mentally to seize his op-
portunitieS.
Abrams raked him and battered
him with both hands, but outside

flicting a bit Of superficial dam.
age, the local warrior didn't come
close to flattening his rival.
The natural question growing
out Of Abrams performance is
whether or not the boy will ever
develop into a real puncher. You
review his performance against
Steve Mamakos, Red Finnegan
and Wojack, and discover that
while George hit with the &C.
curacy of a sharpshooter, and un-
doubtedly hurt his rivals, he did
not knock them down, let alone
knock them out.
CAMARATA WINS EASILY
In the other eightround bout of
the evening Nick Camarata over
came the handicap of an injured
left hand and easily defeated
Cristobol Jamarillo, of Puerto
Rico. The decision was unani-
nous in favor of the New Orleans
italian.
Camarata landed every punch
in the category, but the dark.
skinned youth from the West
Indies kept rolling in like the
waves on a rock-bound coast.
In the preliminaries, Tommy
Hoover knocked .out Joe Maggie
in two minutes of the third round.
The referee stopped the one-Sided
contest. Sam Brocala went four
even rounds with FL Brookman,
and Mike Morton got a draw with
Charles Gilley.

BY CHICK KENNY

For the second straight game
now, the Georgetown University
basketball team has been obliged
to play in an extra period ses-
sion. Last night, however, the
added minutes Of play responded
favorable to the cause Of the
Hoyas.
Saturday night Georgetown lost
to Penn State in an Eastern Con-
ference battle at Tech High, but
last night Georgetown defeated
West Virginia in an Eastern Con.
ference battle, 40-36.
The proceeds of the game were
turned over to the Presidents
Birthday fund for the war against
infantile paralysis.
BY winning last nights duel,
Georgetown continued to hold on
to the possibilities of winning the
conference championship, but only
by the meagereSt of chances. The
HoyaS, in loop competition, show
a record of three wins against two
losses, and still remain lodged in
third place.
PETROSKEY HERO
Capt. Mike Petroskey proved
one of the stars of the game as
the HilltopperS streaked to their
win to snap a five-game losing
streak. Big Mike swished the
cords for IL points, to keep the
Hoyas in the game.
Johnny Franks, substitute guard,
also played a spectacular brand
of ball and must go down in the
record books as co-starring with
his captain of the team, Petroskey.
The regulation battle ended at
36-all.

These Things Happen

OnQer Gne JurlSQ1CC1OQ OF y less
experienced referee, Mahoney
might have been permitted to
absorb further punishment.
Please don't tell me that I am
letting myself be Stampeded by
groundless apprehension. I've
seen such things happen.
More important than the ref
cree, is the service of the medi-
cal examiners employed by the
District Boxing Commission.
Every boy who enters a District
of Columbia ring, amateur, col
lege or professional, is subjected
to rigorous examinations.
Not very long ago a fatality
occurred in a college ring. No
little comment was occaSioned
by this tragic ending to a sports
event. verb e rations were
heard in the chambers Of a
State Capitol.
That boxing contest was held
in a place outside of the juris-
diction of boxing commissions.
So far as is known, no medical
examinations were made. The
victor ana his teammates were
not examined. But a boy out Of
condition was permitted to go
in and "take it," presumably
without medical examination.
There was another case, in q
Western State. Two college boys
boxed in an improvised ring.
The canvas, without the inch Of
felt padding called for by COM
mission rules, was stretched over
q hardwood floor.
A boy was knocked down, his
head struck the floor and he
died without regaining con.

If the two incidents cited here
are not sufficient reasons for
continuing commission rule over
college boxing, then this agent
must admit tn at he suffers
from severe astigmatism.

say that Slade Cutter, of Navy,

all right in any company.
Boys, however inexpert they

on college teams over still less
