celebration in its 255-year his

bus and driven to the farthermost

from the academy.
The dozens Of cheering mid
shipmen rushed yelling into the
middle of the highway. blocking
traffic and forcing the buses to
stop and let them on. From that
point until the team reached Ban
croft Hall on the academy grounds
the scene was one of pande-
monium.
Fire Trucks and AmbuIances.

counted along the way.
On the outskirts, the buses were
met by eight fire trucks, two am
balances and cars with academy
and local officials. plus more mid
shipmen gone wild with joy.
The buses threaded slowly
through streets solidly lined with
citizens in rows three and four
deep. Fire sirens were wailine
and engine bells changing. Mid
shipmen swarmed over the buses
and rode into town on their roofs
The town air raid siren went off.
The players got a kick out of a

One Of the most excited fans at
the game was AL Demao's mother,
who cheered Justify even though
she doesn't know a thing about
football. John Badaczewski, who
played his usual outstanding
game on defense, had two
brothers in the audience.

Furr knocked out Silas in l;
rounds to win the District welter.

Tonight they again will face ir
a three-round exhibition.
Tonight's feature also will be
for a District title with Jimmy
Cooper defending his feather
weight crown against Little Dyna-
mite in a 10-rounder. Cooper has
been in the forefront of District
126-pounders for two years. while
Dynamite came out of preliminary
ranks last winter. For some time
a battle between these two has
been in the making. Even last
year when Cooper was on top and
Dynamite just beginning to show
class 1t was logical that eventually
they would meet.
Cooper seems a likely favorite
because of his hitting power ano
experience. but Dynamite is q
tough little boy. solidly built ant
able to take it,. He also is hungr,
for the recognition and for some
time has been trying for mattel
against Cooper. He finally earned
a shot by beating Pat Thomas last
week.
The left-jabbing Cooper ha.
been winning regularly. In recent
bouts he's beaten Charley Titont
and Rudy Pasco and chilled Dor
Bowman. His best triumph wa.
scored a year ago when he de.
