BY the grace of pair Of forfeits
and slight superiority in what maui
ing materialized, Catholic Univer-
sity's boxing team registered a 60
victory over Duke before 1000 last
night at Brookland gymnasium In a
rather tame session of swatting.
Forced to yield two points to the
Cardinals when Ed Morel, Dukes
165-pound representative, received
telegram shortly before the match
informing him his father had been
injured seriously in an automobile
accident and instructing him to
hurry to his st. George, N. Y, home,
plus the mysterious on-appearance
Of Orville Vincent, Duke light-heavy-
weight, Coach Ad Warren of the
Blue Devils entered the argument
badly crippled.
Vincent, who was told to hasten
here to replace Joe Sullivan, regular
Duke 175-pounder, who was stricken
Ill, never arrived and his where
abouts were a mystery to Warren.
Previously defeated by Maryland
and South Carolina, Duke made
things interesting for the Cards in
the early milling, splitting even in
the first four bouts before Catholic
got its margin by virtue of the two
gratis awards and two decision wins
In the final four engagements. No
knockdowns were recorded.
Fernandez Gets Easy Win.
Ricardo FERNANDEZ, making his de-
but for the Cards in the 120-pound
division. scored an easy win over
Louis Fracher, winding up right
hand shots on Michigan avenue and
connecting on virtually all Of his
telegraphed punches. His blows
lacked authority, however, and
Fracher had little trouble remaining
the route.
Employing a left jab to keep
Leonard Baritone at a respectable
distance, Faison Jordan of Duke
countered with enough solid rights
to win the decision in the 1877
pound battle. The stubby Baritone
was bewildered by Jordans style
and only infrequently penetrated
his defense.

to get a draw with Robert Little.

to the head to nullify the slight
margin the Duke welterweight had
compiled in the second round after
Q dull first.
Joe Bunsa poured enough leather
Into the sturdy frame of Dukes Joe
Gardner to drop a less rugged foe,
but while the Blue Devil 155-pound-
er played role of catching in the
final two rounds he nevertheless
was on his feet and ready for more
at the finish.
