the
received a decision over
Murray in the light-
weight event. Usher piled up most
of his points in the last round. This
was a close fight with plenty of ac-
tion.
Utz lost the welterweight event
to Eldridge by a decision that
wouldn’t be called a popular one.
Utz weakened in the last round
after fighting three hard rounds
and the Wee Vee sailor carried
three more Iron man points out of
the ring with him.
“Red” Mason took four rounds
from Kianski, which helped boost
the Texas score three more points.
“Red” took it easy for three rounds
waiting until th fourth to open up.
The preceding bout having made
him realize that it was the last
round that counted. Kianski is evi-
dently a raw fighter but we think
that he’ll go a long ways if he
keeps on as he is doing.
By far the best fight of the even-
ing was when “Smoky Joe” Tuck-
er and “Pete” Long, Ex-All Navy
Light Heavy, collided in the middle
of the ring. This was a bout that
will be long remembered by all
hands who witnessed it. These men
went in and fought hammer and
tongs for three rounds. “Smoky”
finally ran into one in the fourth
that had his number on it and was
dropped.
It was a swell fight “Smoky” and
champion or not “Pete”
knew that he had been in a
when it was over.
The Texas lost the Heavyweight
event when “Jim” Morton went in
against Reeves. Jim used to be the
Texas lightheavy but has not
fought in Fleet competition for
over a year. The Wee Vee boy was
in much the better shape and took
an easy three rounds out of four.
We still don’t see how Morton las-
ted four rounds under the shellack-
ing he was taking. The only thing
we can say is “If he’d only been in
shape.”
| good job. Neppert of the West Vir- ■ rounds, taking the last two by a
ginia was not given an opportunity : wide margin.
again broke away and came to his to think out his plan of attack. The Texas rooters were rather
feet, making the score 11-10 in Chlebowy started off by bringing crestfallen when Usher of the Wee
favor of Moody. After learning a
lew more holds, Moody can be ex-
pected to take his matches by the
fall route.
In the 135 pound class all hands
and the ship’s cook were surprised.
Ferguson was thrown. After going
the two minutes on their feet with-
out either wrestler getting the ad-
vantage, Ferguson won the toss and
elected to take bottom. Daransky,
after staving off a few attempts
to sit through by Ferguson, slipped
into a figure four and rode for
about a minute and a half. Being
considerably taller than Ferguson,
Daransky was able to hold his
figure four and lean well over
Ferguson’s shoulders, making it im-
possible for Ferguson to come to his
feet. After two minutes and forty-
eight seconds, Daransky turned
Fergie, took a key hold on his left
arm, held the figure four, and with
a body press, pinned Fergie. It took
a lot, and Daransky had it at the
time. There was plenty of wrest-
ling in that match. Both men knew
how it was done.^Ferguson brought
Daransky down a couple of times
with a fancy arm twist and body
roll, but when the advantage was
most needed he got it off the mat
and was brought to his feet by the
referee.
In the next match Stiles met
good man and gave him a good
fight. In fact, as the scoring went,
Stiles held the advantage for three
minutes, only to give it up in his
eagerness to get a fall. Warboys
startd by bringing Stiles down and
coming to top, giving Warboys five
points. Stiles broke away for
Uree. Warboys brought him down
for another five. Stiles broke a-
wa.v and came to top for five,
making the score 11-10 in his favor.
Stiles held top for three minutes,
when Warboys broke away and
came to top for five, winning the
match with a score of 15-11.
Chlebowy fought the 155 pound
class for the Texas, and did a very
Neppert to the mat for five. Vee
Neppert broke away after two min- ' “Punch”
utes of wrestling, only to be brought
to the mat again with a roll. ■
Neppert broke away and came to
his feet for three more. Chlebowy
brought him down for five. Then
Neppert broke away and came to
top for five. Here Neppert demon-
strated that he could really work
on a man if given an opportunity.
However he relaxed, and Chlebowy
broke away, coming to top. At
this point the score was 20-11 in
favor of Chlebowy. Taking a re-
verse bar and press, Chlebowy held
Neppert for the count.
Pawlik defended in the 165
pound class after a long lay-off.
He was up against Chuckta, a
scissor expert, who didn’t seem to
realize that it is the burden of the
man on top to throw the one on
th bottom. Chuckta seemed so in-
sistent upon getting the scissors
that he would try nothing else. As
a result five points were awarded
Chuckta for breaking away and
coming to top. The rest of the
match Chuckta rode Pawlik, wait-
ing for Pawlik to give him an op-
portunity to slip into a scissor.
Pawlik did not give that opportun-
ity, and Chuckta took the decision
on the weight of the lone award of
five points.
Rueber lost the heavy weight
match to Dill by a fall in three
minutes, fifteen seconds. On the
hand shake, Dill brought Rueber
to the mat, a practice that is gen-
erally frowned upon in wrestling
circles. Dill rode until Rueber
made an attempt to break away.
Dill was then able to take a
nelson and crotch hold for
throw.
In th boxing phase O’Campo bel-
ted out a decision over De Los
Reyes, in the 118 pound class. This
was a hard, fast fight. De Los
Reyes started off fast and furious
but the Texas sailor managed to
slow him up in the last three
