Although some of the boys have
been working out under the direc-
ton of Coffman for some time this
was the first card to be presented
in Troy. In fact the only competi-
tive matches the boys have entered
have been with Kalispell there and
NoXon there. This was the first
bout for many of the competitors
The opening match of the even
ing saw Jackie Reeves lose in one
round to Orley Burke of KalispeIl
Jackie was outweighed fourteen
pounds but put up a courageous
fight before Coffman stopped the
fight
Jim Fisher scored Troy's first win
when he started throwing leather
from the opening bell and kept II
up for three rounds to best Mickey
Guest Wayne Cooley lost a close
decision to the visitors Jerry Seq
ton in the third bout Even though
Cooley kept boring in with a one
two punch the judges gave the
decision to Sexton.
In the fourth bout Billy MoIv-
neaux, outweighed ten pounds. put
up a terrific battle only to lose to
Dale Burke. Billy showed as much
as any boy on the card.
The fifth bout was a toe to toe
smuggling match with Wayne Wal
lace losing out to the more exper-
fenced Gary Blanchley.
Joey Collegan ran up against too
much experience in his bout with
Eugene Fordham and Coffman stop
ped this at the end of the first
round. Kenny French drew Kalis-
pell's classiest boy in the next bout
and dropped a decision to Jerry
johnson. Both boys were trying
to win this one.
Bob Fisher put Troy back in the
win column by fighting the same
kind of whirlwind fight as brother
Jim and easily outpointed Don
Thompson.
James Tubbs out-punched How
ard Blackley in bout nine. These
boys made up in aggressiveness
what might have been lacking in
science. Tom Fuller scored another
Troy win when his superior height
and reach proved to be too much
for Dick Hader
Paul Nelson scored a TKO over
Dick Dzivi in the third round to
keep Troy's string intact. Paul had
lust too much punch and after
Dzivi the Kalispell coach
threw in the towel
By throwing lots of straight coun-
ter punches and keeping his man
off balance. Neil Lindsey won easily
over Jim Burke. Herb Coffman al
though outweighed twelve pounds
showed too much aggressiveness
and stamina to outlast Vern Bony-
eaf for another close Troy deci-
sion.
The last bout of the evening
brought together Bill Nelson and
Jack Barrett with Nelson coming
out on top with a close win. Both
boys used plenty of mitigating and
showed an unusual amount of ex-
perience.
Other Troy boys working out but
not taking part in this card because
