Cards Get Five
Bouts, Draw in
Three Others
Visitors Forfeit One:
Baritone and Houck
Score T. K. O.'s
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON,


Victims of couple of questionable
draw decisions, Lock Haven Teachers
bowed to Catholic University boxers
by a score of 6la to IL last night at
Brookland.
The Cardinals were not overly i'm
pressive. Filling the shoes of Joe
BunSa, Jay Turner and Fred Slant,
who led them to an undefeated sea-
son last year, evidently is not an
easy task. All would have been very
useful last night.
LOCK HaVen'S scores were the re-
suit of draws in the 12O, 155 and
heavyweight classes. All were too
close for comfort, for one punch
might have swung the pendulum
either way
Gaffney Is Impressive.
Catholic came up with another
full fiedged star in the person of
Leo Gaffney, cool, calculating
lightweight, who scored a technical
kayo over George Barnes. Barnes
was no slouch, but had no defense
for the Irishman's sharp shots.
Barnes paved the way for his de-
feat by connecting with a stinging
right uppercut, sort of sneak
punch, at close quarters early in the
first round. Gaffney, feeling his
way along until that point. got his
Irish up and went after him with
vengeance. He chased Barnes from
post to post, finding the range with
long left and short, crisp right that
bloodied his opponents nose and
finally stopped him in the final
Stanza.
Leo Houck, jr., the Cardinals
highly touted light ac-
counted for the only other kayo. He
put the chill on Jack Bastian after
lao of the second round, driving
the Pennsylvania into the ropes
with solid right to the head. Bas-
tlan, down for count in the first
round, ioundered helplessly on the
strands and Referee Denny Hughes
mercifully stopped it.
Leon WoWak evidently was the
victim of stage fright and his work
was not up to what he had shown in
the gym. He managed to gain a
draw with Mike Yelvick, however,
both boys swinging freely for knock
outs.
Blond Huck Hughes reversed a de-
clsion scored against him last year
by Bill Skerpon in a close 145-pound
struggle decided by a knockdown in
the first round. Huck caught Sker-
pom with looping right to the head
and the Lockhaven captain was un-
able to offset the blows damage. He
plugged away throughout the last
two rounds in a vain attempt to
tag Hughes, who bobbed and weaved
out of range.
Two Questionable Draws.
Ted Mandris, Catholics 120-
FOUNDER. got a questionable draw
with Worth Randall and Julius
STANCES got another with Don Camp
bell in the heavyweight engagement.
Capt. Gerry Strang of c. U.
didn't get chance to appear. Lock-
haven forfeited the 165-pound bout
because its representative, Paul
Renne, was called to duty with the
United States Air Corps.
