Marine Senior Boxers
Driving 10 Team Title
In Golden G!oyes-AAU

unless there are some terrific
upsets in the semifinal and fina,
rounds of the Golden Gloves -AAU
boxing tournament at Uline
Arena. the Quantico Marines
should take the senior team
championship. But win or lose
the Marines are providing a hefty
share of the action always pres
ent in good amateur fight meets.
Coach Freddy Lem still has
six of his original seven starters
in the senior division, with 147-
pound Mario De Saints and 160-
pound Walt Stipanovitch the big
guns. Both were winners in the
quarter-flnals last night. The
Marines also had two novice box
ers in action but both lost.
The Quantico novices 112-
pound James Wogaman and 1885,
pound James Wiley-were green
hands so far as boxing skill was
concerned. For Wogaman it was
his first fight in any sort of COM
petition and for Wiley it was the
third. But they stuck their fists
out in front of them and tossed
leather as long as they were able
1t was obvious from the start that
neither was going to win but
neither would give up trying until
it was over.
Guardsman Earns TKO.~
Wogaman particularly was out
classed. but he was the only one
in the place who didn't know it
Oliver James of the National
Guard battered him around freely
and Wogaman went down from
sheer exhaustion as technical
knockout victim in the third. But
even as he slumped to the canvas
he still was trying to toss his futile
punches at the empty air.
Quantico's senior boxers were
more experienced and harder
punchers and both won gooo
fights. The battle between Stipa-
novitch and Phil Taylor of Police
Boys Club No. 4 especially was 8
honey. Both we're willing to mix
freely and did so to the delight
of the 1900 customers. with the
rough and ready Stipanovitct
showing a clear edge at the finish
Another serviceman with dyna-
mite in his fists last night was
Fort Myers John Kauzalarich ir
the 160-pound novice class. Here
power was more evident than skill,
as he knocked Aubrey Greenhow
of Southeast Settlement House te
the canvas three times before
winning in the second.
Johnson Comes Back.
Tine novices were every bit as
exciting in their bouts as the
more experienced seniors. One o1
the nights best battles was the
slugfest between 147-pound Ward
Sullivan of Catholic Youth Or
ganization and jeff johnson OF
Police Club No. 2. Johnson foored
Sullivan with a terrific left hook
in the first round, but johnson
got up to fight his way back in
the next two rounds to a narrow
decision.
