Olympic Boxers
Hope 10 Better
1852 Record

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20 up.
Uncle Sans olympic boxing
team, battered but happy after
three nights of fierce swinging,
looked toward Australia today
with hopes for an even better
record than this Nation compiled
in 1859.
Ten men, from Hawaiian fly
weight Ray Perez to Heavy
weight Pete Radem acher.
emerged as this Nations finest
non-professionals last night and
won places on the squad.
1T feels terrific the great
est honor of my life," the It
year-old Perez said after out
pointing AL Pell of New York
City in the finals.
The military services, as they
had predicted, won more than
half the titles--six. Collegiate
fighters took two and regional
and Golden Gloves champions
one each.
Beating the 1852 record of five
gold medals presents a tough
chore and coach Milton Dubby)
Holt makes no prediction. He
does say it's representative
squad and will be in the finest
condition possible.

macher, team members were:
