S" OAAaS balC army Aluo EC-
asserted its superior team
strength In the Interservice
boxing tournament at Fort
Myer, there remains only the
question Of who will interrupt
Its possible string of individual
champions when the finals are
contested tomorrow night.
On the basis Of what was
shown last night in the first
half Of the semifinals, the Ma
rine Corps Charlie Brown seems
a solid bet at l25 pounds, and
Lightweight Quincy Daniels
might get the Job done for the
gold and sky-blue colors Of the
Air Force.
Daniels did Just that in the
1862 Interservice tournament at
Norfolk, and tomorrow night
will face the same Army OPP
ponent, James Carter of Ben
ton Harbor, Mich. 1t shapes up
as an outstanding fight between
two impressive. experienced
.sluggers.
10 Other Bouts
Meanwhile, the other 10
seminal bouts are on tap at
1880 tonight, with the Army
team again probably in COM
mand. James Grant, at 1872
pounds, and Carleton Brooks.
the Interservice middleweight
champ, probably win lead the
Army charge.
Last night, the defending
team champion won all five
Of its bouts, the Marines a
pair and the Air Force also
two, plus a forfeit. Navy was
shut out.
There were no knockouts and
only two knockdowns, both
scored by Army Interservice
titliSts. Robert Carmody, q
crafty flyweight clipped the
Air Forces Howard Smith with
q left when the latter was off
balance. And Martin Mack !
dropped the Nays Lee Bond
with q right hook in the third
round to break up a close 1885,
pound scrap. Il
Daniels victory was even
more one-sided. His battering
fists had slim Jim McClain
Of the Navy constantly In
trouble.
The muscular airman from
Seattle has 24-karat creden-
tials. He's had 119 fights,
losing only three, had been
floored twice and never kayoed.
The last time he lost was in
the 1860 Olympics, to the even
tual gold medal winner from
Czechoslovakia. Daniels won
the bronze medal.
Wants Another Shot
Naturally. he would like an
other shot in the "a Olympics.
I've got my bid in" is the way
he puts it. Which means he
must beat Carter tomorrow to
earn a shot in the Pan Ameri-
can Games trials and then a
chance to make the Olympic
team.
Daniels says Carter wasn't
quite as tough as he expected
when he decisioned him last !
year, but has detected i'm
provement in the adversary
since then.
I'll 60 along with him."
Daniels said last night. 'Tf he
wants to slug, I'll slug with
him. II he wants to box, I'll
box. Like I say. I've got my bid J
in"
