Just why is it these last two girls

But let Joe tell it.

I was boxing in the 165-pound

was supposed to be a tough one

Fond told me to keep boring in

Finally popped him right at
the start of the second round.

IT didn't know what to do.
Just sort of stood there dumb

several officials jumped into the

Morris. He said something after
he regained his feet. Pretty
soon he called me to the center
of the ring along with my Car

Seabiscuit was given 1874 pounds

The Washington times., 1939-01-05

But Joe BunSa, the little
black-haired lad, who carved
himself a name as a boxing and
football star, is an exception.
A little more than year ago,
Just when the football season
was drawing to a close, Joe
Bunsa, regular right end of the
Catholic University football
team, was injured in the. game
against st. Louis University. Joe
received a painful kick in his
left groin as he tackled a streak
ing halfback who was making
for the c. U. goal line. Joe was
rendered hors de combat on the
play, but he nailed the runner
TO thwart a possible tally just
the same.
IN HOSPITAL FOR WEEKS
Upon returning to Washing
ton-the football game having
been played at st. Louis-Bunsa
was sent to a local hospital to
recuperate from the injury. In
stead Of improving, the ailment
grew worse and a surgeon was
called in to perform an opera
ton.
Joe's legs had become para
lyzed. He lay in a hospital for
weeks near death. The doctors
could not successfully diagnose
the strange case. But Joe staged
a game fight despite the odds.
He carried into his mental and
physical self the same fight that
enabled him to tackle that st.
Louis University halfback caus-
ing his injury. Joe's condition
finally turned for the better.
He fought gamely--just as he
did in the ring for the Flying
Cardinals.
Four months later Joe was on
his feet-a little shakey perhaps,
but he'd get along. OF course, he
was forced to learn to walk
again. Special apparatus was
used to aid the boy in regaining
his footwork. After weeks of
struggling, Joe was back to nor
NAL. It was a great fight and
the youngster won out against
unseemingly odds.
BACK IN RING TOGs
Now young Bunsa is back in
ring togs. He's working out
daily under the tutilege of Coach
Eddie La Fond and is listed as
the 155-pounder of the C. U.
team. He looks good, too. Has
the same old zip he showed when
he first broke into the collegiate
mitt game.
Yeah. I think I'll be okay
again. Have to get the old punch
back, though" says Joe. But
I think I'll make it alright.
certainly want to be a help to
this years C. U. team. You know
the club was undefeated last
season, and nothing could please
me better than be member of
an undefeated boxing team. Ger
tainly was sorry I wasn't with
the boys last season"

It's the old story. Too many
chefs spoiled Coach Wade's

Wade's complaint was sincere
even if a bit shrilI. AS to the
four teams, why only Coach

that. From now on his boys
