Cherry Po in t ' s Fiphting Flyers scored an impress ive 4-2 team vic-

j lory over tht Fo-t Jackson Red Devils there last Thursday night

I before 4.5i«> boxinp f ans ! lt was the initial out inp for the I local pugs this season, but thei r j wins were si> impressive that the ' R e d Devils' coaching stafl said : that the F lyers were' tht best they ! have faced this year , includinp For t I Brapp and Quantico.

Newcomer Ilay Scbultz. a wel-terweipht . s t a r t ing his firm fight

j tor the Flyers , was uoticably ex-cited in the first round. H e con-nected live seconds before the bell on a right cross that sent Soldier George Starkey down

Immediate ly ut ter the second rounc began. Schultz stepped in last, jabbed a left to S ta rkey ' s r ibs , a right cross to the chin and t h a t WOB all lm—Starkey. - H e - l a n d e d hard on the canvas a£d stayed for the count, it took only ST seconds of that round to put him away

Virknai r Loses Li t t le George Vicknair . lost

hear t -break* r to Fort Jackson ' s E rn ie P o r r a s by a sj.ilit decision.

The first round saw Vicknair open with a flurry ol flying fists that kept the favored P o r r a s ' back on the ropes most ol the t imt And when the F lyer bantamweight th rew h i s r ight , he must have put his en t i re IIS pounds behind it. The f ans were wondering how ^uch a l i t t le fellow' could throw *uch a hard punch

The second and thi rd round were about the same as the first Both fighters stood toe-to-tot- and ham-mered away. When the r e f r ee handed out h is decision, the ent i re arena let the ref know that they were dissatisfied with the decision.

Mniih Wins By k . O. Ir ish J immy Smith. 1S2 pound

l ightweigiu, needed only 1:42 of the first round to put Soldier Lennie Bridges away for good

The "Er in Expres s ' landed sev-era< ha rd l e f t s to t h t head before dropping Bridges ' fo r the count of n ine immediately ' a f t e r the bell opened t h e round.

Seconds ia ter . Smith dropped him again for the count of nine and then iiis s leeper punch ' f in i shed the eamo Soldier. He did it with a ripht cross to the chin.

Spencer moved quickly and landed a hard r iph tpunch to the head that sent DeCordova sp inn ing to the deck for the count of nine. Again ' Sjiencer knocked the Red Devil down, this t ime for a count of eipht And at the bell DeCordova was on tlit- ropes going down.

The Soldier made a bri l l iant comeback in the third round, throwing punches f rom everywhere . Several t imes. Spencgr was on the ropes and people were wonder ing what was holding him up. The fight was over before anyone rea l -ezed what had happened wi t a De-Cordova holding the decision.

Coach Johnny Tinsley exploded and immediately protested t o ' the officials Red Devil 's coach Krank Kavanaugh . disgusted with the de-cision. offered to give* the fight to Spencer , but Tinsley refused .

Lara aud Bianc Win The next two bouts went as

everyone had expected them to go. Rudy Lara met a tough l i t t le Negro. Johnny Anderson, who was s tub-born Lara had to use ail h is t r i cks of the t r a d e to win a close decision

Anderson threw his fists can-t inously but missed more t imes than he hit Lara waited him out and landed when it was neccessary .

Rudy seemed to have missed • r ights that he ordinar i ly would have landed The shif ty Negro was
