Kavakas will have it out in the four

round and again after the fight,
when Robinson was announced the
winner OF a l0-round decision over
baby faced Marty Servo from Uncle
Sans Coast Guard.
The decision was the third In a
row in the Garden to which the
fans didn't take kindly. Two weeks
ago, Allie Stolz tangled with Sammy
Angott for Sammy's lightweight
crown and Sammy took the de-
cision to a chorus of boos. Last
week, Tami Mauriello got a draw
with Bob Pastor, although most
folks thought Rapid Robert finished
on top.
Qualified for Young Bout.
The verdict for Robinson, by a
margin as close as ham and eggs,
gave Ray a whining string of 121
straight fghts-89 as an amateur
and 80 as pro.
1t also established him as the out
standing welterweight in the ring
today, outshining even Champion
Red Cochrane, who is in the Navy
in California, and qualified the
skinny Harlem hammer for a bout
with Garvey Young, the United
States marine titleholder from
Akron, Ohio, in the Garden June IL.
However, without the referees
penalty in the second round, Ray
would have had lot tougher time
winning from the Schenectady slug
ger, who carried the fight to him
all the way. At the finish, Referee
Billy Cavanagh voted the decision
for Marty. Judge Bill Healey voted
for Robinson, six rounds to three,
with one even. Judge Tom Curley

Rites For Noah
Hanover Held
Sunday

Noah Larkin Vanover died DIT
his home on Cutter Branch, near
Freezing, in the early hours of
Saturday. He had been ailing for
several months but did not be-
come gravely ill until four weeks
ago.
Burial was in the Vanover
graveyard on the old Hanover
homestead Sunday A large crowd
attended the final rites to one of
Freeling's best known citizens.
Elder Homer Willis was III
charge Of impressive funeral ser
vices at the grave. His brief but
pointed sermon visibly impressed
the crowd and the family wishes
to express their gratitude to the
young and able minister for his
consoling words and the kino-
ness shown the family in the1,
hour of grief.
Noah Vanover was born Dec.
3, 1867, the son of Wesley Y. ana
Martha Fleming Hanover, pio-
neer citizens Of Dickinson coun-
ty, near what is now Freezing.
He spent his entire life in that
section with the exception of a
few months residence at Jenk..
ms, KY, many years ago. He
married Mary E. Belcher on
October %, 1887. Nine children
were born to them, three preced-
ing him to the grave several
years ago.
Surviving are the widow, Mary
E. Vanover, and the following
sons and daughters: Mrs. Lille
May Cox, Freezing; Cleophus
Vanover, Skeetrock; Hardaway
Hanover, Freezing; Mrs. Italy
Flemingtown; Mrs.
Lola Polocheck, Freezing, and
Leonard Vanover, Blowing Rock.
With the passing of Noah Van
over, Freezing will be a little
more lonesome. In his better and
happier days he enlivened any
crowd with his unfailing good
numor and his always cheerful
outlook. In his last years he was
a familiar figure along the roads
around Freezing, but he made
his way slowly with the aid of
cane, and it was plain to see that
he was approaching his last mile
stone.
