Lightweight Bouts Feature
Quarter Finals Of Gloves
Gruyson Tests
Mitchell Punch
On Capitol Card
By BILL FUCHS
Star stan Writer

Four determined light
weights, who have known the
bitter taste of Illustration and
don't like it, are ready for open
warfare in the quarter-finals
of The Stars 1859 Golden
Gloves tournament tomorrow
night at Capitol Arena.
erman CThe Tank
Mitchell, a muscular teen-ager
with an egg-beater attack, will
take on Nat Grayson, a new
conner to the Open Division,
and Gene Hughes, a veteran
of six years of Gloves action,
will meet Chris Eaton, an
other familiar figure in anna
teur boxing circles here.
This lightweight bonanza
stacks up as the feature on a
packed program that lists II
bouts, the first starting at $50.
BrOthers-in-Law Meet
1t is a program that includes
a battle between brothers-in-
law-Lorenzo Neal, unattached,
against John Moore of Police
Boys Club No. 2, in the senior
middleweight division-and a
senior l47-pound scrap between
Leroy Roberts of No. 2 and
MarcelluS Vaughan of the
Twelfth Street YMCA.
But the spotlight is on Nit
chell, the former Dunbar High
football player whose light
ning-like attack won for him
a large following last year.
Mitchell, fancy as well as
rugged, took just Is seconds
to dispose of Dave Hancock
of the Olympic Club in his first
showing last year and went on
to beat the wiley Hughes to
win his way to the finals.
Ralph Wolfe, the dynamite
packer from Virginia, beat
Mitchell of Police Club No. 2
on a close decision in the final.
Wolfe apparently has lost none
OF his talents. Last week he
knocked Roscoe Gudger of No.
2 out of the ring and out Of
action at 1:20 of the first round
and gets rest this week.

tive of the Twelfth Street Y,
was a braSh newcomer last
year, and in his very first bout
registered a knockout at ISL
of the first round.
Lost in Second Round
He was eliminated in the
second round on a decision to
Columbus Burwell of No. 2.
How we'll he can do against the
likes of Mitchell is strictly con-
lecture, but he apparently owns
a wallop and no doubt will be
out to demonstrate it.

1t all started when Millikan

scoring feats as he rounds out
his brilliant collegiate career

amass 5000 points.

Of $500 tonight when his Bear
cats, the Nations No. l team in

Robertson has eight regular
season games remaining, plus
an unknown number of post
season tournament contests. If
he maintains his 35.8-point
average, he will hit 1886 points
at the end of the season, and
only four post-seaSon games
would make him a good bet to
surpass the 5000 mark.
Gets Help on Defense
He'll have a little more op-
portunity now to concentrate
on scoring since the Bearcats
have their top defensive ace,
Bob Weisenhahn, back after a
months absence with an ankle
injury. Weisenhahn played in
Saturday nights 67-55 victory
over Houston.
In the last month, Robert
son has been a jack-of-all- =
trades, taking up the defensive
slack and handling much of
the rebounding. All the while
he has been breaking records
like he had nothing else to do.
His $500 points is also the
three-seaSon mark. The previ-
Gus all-time record was set in
four seasons by Wake Forests S
Dick Hemric, who finished with
2,587 points. The three-year

ocratic demands for increased
defense spending as "a political
grandstand play"
Mr.. Ford, ranking Republican
on the House Defense Appro-
priations Subcommittee, which
originates all military spending

with talk that more money is
needed.
Mr.. Ford's remarks came on
the heels of a report yesterday
that President Eisenhower in
tends to release aboout $500
million of some 81 billion in
defense funds already appro-
priated by Congress but held
up by executive order.
Mr.. Ford, however, centered
his discussion on the possibility
of Congress appropriating still
more funds after it resumes
sessions next week. He said:
I'VE passed a good defense
appropriation bill just before
Congress recessed that more or
less followed the guidelines rec
commended by the President
