Five kayoes Scored
As Cards Roll Up
7.to.1 Victory
Heavy Gets Comedians
Lone Win in Limit
Bout With STANCES
By LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.


You could have laid McGill Uni
versity's boxing team end to end
last night after Catholic Univer-
sity's potent knuckle squad finished
with it. The Cards almost did,
stretching five visitors on the can
vas in record a IL decision for
their second straight victory.
Some 1000 of the faithful looked
on with mingled feelings of aston
ishment and sympathy for the vis-
1tors from Montreal as the District
pokers scored their blitzkrieg. Alb
solutely no contest from the first
bout, the affair gradually assumed
the general appearance of batting
practice as Coach Eddie LaFonds
men bowled 'em over. 1t was two
bunts with the left then-zowie-
over the fence and out.
Exhibition Is Best Bout.
Huck Hughes, Joe Bunsa, Gerry
Strand, Fred Slant and Jay Turner
were the knocker-outers. They re-
sembled gentlemen at county fair
winning cigars at the try-your-
strength stand. They stepped up
and rang the bell with hammerlike
punches that seldom missed inviting
chins. The quintet disposed of their
respective opponents in minutes
and 26 seconds. new record of some
kind.
The most entertaining bout of
the evening was an exhibition, oddly
enough, between Lenny Baritone,
Catholic 127-pounder, and Shorty"
: Shorteno, McGill lightweight. The
latter weighed in at 139, l pound
over the maximum limit and had
to forfeit. but to give the fans
full eight-bout card agreed to box
the exhibition. And he almost was
knocked out in the second round
by Baritone, but managed to go the
full distance.
McGill, plainly not accustomed to
such vigorous massaging, seemed
to be strictly boxing team. All the
visitors had long, dangling lefts
which would have caused consider
able trouble had they had support
from right hands, but the dynamite
was in the Cardinals gloves. When
they unloosed their salvo of kayo
blows the recipients went down as
though they had missed the last
step.
Hughes Wins for McGill.
Tom Hughes, a robust Irishman
with a stinging left and good right,
saved the Canadians from q COM
plete whitewash by outpointing
Julius STANCES in the final bout
He rocked the Card heavy in the
first round with a short left and
again in the second with a wicked
right, but Julius refused to 60
down. The Cardinal waded in,
trying vainly to land a telling blow,
but not until the third round when
his cause was lost did he succeed.
Gus Gerson, rookie welterweight,
scored the lone C. U. victory over
the full distance, outpointing Cor
don DeBlois in a close engagement.
Gerson, southpaw, tried percept-
IDLY in the final round but not before
piling up healthy lead which the
Montreal youngster couldn't over
come.
Because McGill had no represen-
tatives in the bantam and feather
weight classes the schools agreed to
two matches in both welterweight
and light-heavyweight divisions.
