BOXING RESUMES
At R|ALT0 FRIDAY
Jessurun, Ventura Meet in
Main Go-ScaIzo Makes
Local Debut.

4 FTER holiday lay-off, boxing
~ will be resumed at the Rialto
~ Theater next Friday night
= with an outstanding show
under the auspices OF Matchmaker
Howard Livingston.
Featuring Andre Jessurun and Wit
torio Ventura in the main bout, the
card also will include the local debut
Of Pete Scalzo, latest contender for
the featherweight championship,
against Al Gillette.
The Jessurun-Venturi argument is
the real attraction, however, renewing
one OF the most colorful welterweight
rivalries in the ring today. Both have
been ranked in and out of the first
10 Of their division for several years,
and only recently Jessurun boxed Ven-
turi out Of the No. ranking during
terrific bout at Madison Square
Garden.
Last summer Ventura proved one of
the outstanding hits of the outdoor
season, proving a colorful, hard punch
ing fighter who is at his best against
tough opposition. Jessurun, from
French Guinea, boasts one Of the
finest records in all fistiana. A classy
boxed endowed with dazzling speed,
Jessurun has won 78 fights, lost Z
and fought four draws in SO bouts.
In the Scalzo- Gillette scrap, fans
will see in the former another hard
puncher who has been a national, in
ternational and Golden Glove cham
pion. He has won a majority Of his
fights by the knockout route.
Tickets for Fridays show 20 on
sale at the Rialto Theater at 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Reservations may
be made by calling metropolitan s54s.

back into the game to try his luck
again.
The kick was straight, but lanky

smashed through to block the ball.
The East, relying mainly on ground
plays. nevertheless produced a strong
passing attack, with Cecil Isbell, Pur-

Pittsburgh quarterback, handling the
bulk Of the tosses.
Each OF the % players making up
the rival squads saw some service.

Foul Shot Gives Lead,

ONLY in the first 20 seconds of play
was George Washington behind
and that hardly counted. To open the
game Silkowitz, who was forced out
of the game early with four fouls,
roughed up Johnny Kundla, who sunk
a foul. After that Faris, who halls
from Fremont, Nebr., sunk his opening
shot, and the best the Gophers could
do was to tie twice. At one stage in
the opening period the Colonials held
a 13-to-6 lead, but Minnesota was
gaining near the half.
With the start of the second half
1t was obvious that George Washing
ton was pressing" The Colonials'
passing became spotty and the Co.
pliers, quick to capitalize, jumped into
a deadlock on the fine shooting of
Gordon Addington, a pint-sized for
ward, and Kundla. Then Faris went
into action

Faris Comes to Rescue,

RUT when the Gophers came out in
the second half to overcome
George Washington's lead and tie at
1919, Faris found the range again.
He darted under the basket to tap a
folloW-up shot in the basket, making
1t 2l-19, and, after Paul Maki's long
pot shot again tied the count, Faris
dropped similar attempt and again
followed up for four points and 25-
to-2l lead.
This finished the Gophers. They
fought wildly. but their timing was off
and their shooting was spotty. George
Washington's defense, a modified zone
affair, kept them from getting set and
with time growing short the Western
ers began to heave from all angles.
This was playing into the hands of
the Colonials. Taller and more adept
at grabbing the ball off the blackboard,
the locals ran the score to 1923, with
Faris contributing two more baskets
and foul to finish as the high-point
scorer with 13.
