Kodiak Naval Station Fighters Cop Five Titles At Golden Gloves Meet

When the Naval Station team un- der the leadership of former Navy champions Frank Martinez, team trainer, and Donald Arnold, team manager, reported to Anchorage for the Elks 4th Annual Golden Gloves Tournament on Feb. 1920, they found themselves underdogs with only 2 fighters. Other teams boasted 12 and IA.
 The first Kodiak fighter to enter the ring was Tommy Woodruff, light welterweight open, who fought powerful bout but lost a referees decision to Thomas Lee, we'll seasoned fighter from Elison AFB.
 Then to bring a surprise to the crowd and the biggest round of ovation of the night, William Brown of the Naval Station stepped into the ring with Alaska's welter weight novice champion. Brown brought the crowd of about 1,500 fight fans to their feet when he tn leashed a terrific attack on the Champ. With blood streaming from the Champs nose and mouth they both fought like the champions they were to the bell. In round 2, with instructions from Martinez and Arnold, Brown let loose an other attack at the Champ and had the Champ going through the ropes for the finish when the bell rang.
 BROWN WINNER
 During the rest period the crowd sensed new champ and cheered Brown on. When Brown met the Champ in the center of the ring it was "a pier 6 brawl." The Champ fought back gamely but could not fend off the powerful Brown. Above the roar of the crowd and the sound of the bell you could

Ashford could not make the 3rd round and Kodiak went on to win second place, beating out Anchor age Boys Club, Elmendorf AFB, Co. F Airborne, and NAACP of Anchorage. Eielson AFB took first place with hardly a margin be- tween their first place and Ko- diak's second place.
 The new Alaska champions Of the Kodiak Naval Station are: AL Ian Wilson, light middleweight, open; Keith Willard, heavyweight, open; William Brown, welter- weight, novice. Also in Kodiak's corner was Tom Gallagher of the Polar Bear Cafe.

 The Kodiak fighters had more bouts that evening. John Cresto # Kodiak beat 37-year-old Staff Sgt. Carl Newman of Elmendorf AFB, a seasoned fighter who put up a rugged fight with the younger Cresto. The second night Cresto lost a split decision to a tough fighter from Eielson AFB. Roy Wright, light middleweight from Kodiak, lost a TKO in the third round to another standout from Eielson AFB.
 WIN FIVE TITLES
 The second and last night of the Gloves tournament, under the keen guidance of Martinez and Arnold, Kodiak won 5 championship titles. The last title fight saw Allan Will son of the Kodiak team win by TKO in 18 seconds of the third round and become the new light middleweight champion of Alaska. Wilson, a civilian, had his oppon- ent in trouble from the first bell when he attacked in Kodiak's fa- miliar style. With blood squirting out of both fighters, Wilson rushed Carl Ashford like a demon. In the rest period both Kodiak handlers instructed Wilson to finish off Asn- ford. Wilson had Ashford on the ropes for the finish but the bell sounded and Ashford's handlers ushered him to his corner. When the second round was over tha crowd was still standing until the bell for round 3.
