Over Benedictines In Final

Lest lieiee
Amateur boxing in Savannah
reached & new p.ak in popularity
Thursday night when the Savannah
High School mitt a’tfsts and the
padded glove wielders from Benedic
-1 tine mixed in the final melee of the
current season of the two schools,
resulting in the Bluejackets’ vic to: y
by a narrow margin.
The Municipal Auditorium, where
the bouts were staged, was jammed
with fight fans out to cheer their
favorites on to wins. The walls echoed
to the roars of one of the biggest
assemblages to cram its way into
the hail for any sporting event. The
close of the season’s boxing of the
two schools found the SHS battler.,
undefeated while the Cadets’ lost one
match and won one. Benedictine won
from Tech High School of Afanta
but lost to High School. High
School tiounced North Charleston
High School as well as the Benedic
tine Cadets’ squad.
The laurels went to the Bluejackets
in their meeting Thursday night with
the Southsiders by a score of five
points to four. High School won
three fights, lost two and earned
draws in the remaining four of the
nine regular bouts.
There was a preliminary exhibition
scrap between Fogarty of Benedic
tine and Purvis of the Northsiders
which was a no-decision tussle.
High school lost the first of the
regular nine bouts on the schedule.
A striking feature of the entire show
was the fact that all of the boxers
were exceedingly well mathed with
the exception of those in the sixth
go. In this one Joe Dinerman of the
Bluejackets met Pinckney of B. C.
in the 145 pound weight cla;s.
The Northsider rushed Pinckney
off his feet from the first clang of
the bell. Before the round was over
he hustled Pinckney to the ropes
and slammed in a disabling solar
plexus blow. /The B. C. man did not
drop but stood more or less helpless
and wincing with pain. Referee Joe
McGee stepped in and stopped the
fight, awarding the decision to Diner
man. This technical K. O. was the
only knockout of the night.
After the exhibition the card open
ed up with Spellman of B. C. versus
DeLoach of High School in the 90
pound class. Both youngsters were
hard hitters and each connected
with the other time and again. But
the B. C. boy was a shade too good
for his opponent and took the bout.
Shoob for SHS and Pleasants for
B. C. mixed it up in the second bout
in the 105 pound class. Both were
speedy and tough and Pleasants, the
boy with the El Brendel stare, took
everything Shoob had to hand out
which was plenty. However, Shoob
took the decision.
The Maroon and White’s bundle
of springs. Jack Macher, who won
his fight In the recent Benedictine
and Tech High School encounter, lost
his argument Thursday night. He
faced Robert Miller of the Northsiders
i” the 115 pound class who beat him.
Particularly in the first round there
was little or no action and a number
of the fans were loud in impatient
cries for blows.
The battle in the 125 pound class
was » stirring affair. Edgar Ross of
the Bluelackets slugged it out to a
draw with J. Dyer. The first round
of this scrap was about the fastest
up to that time on the bill.
In the 135 pound class another
Dyer climbed into the ring. This
youngster. B. Dyer, a brother of the
first, met the nonchalant Melvin
Weil of High School. This fight was
a storm of blows throifgh even 7
round. It got a big hand from the
spectators. In the second round each
took a terrific lacing and it seemed
once Dyer was about to floor his man
but he didn’t. Weil had Dyer’s nose
bleeding before the scrap was over.
It was a draw.
Sammy Lvnch won over Portman
of High School tn the 155 pound
class In the seventh bout. MaAleer
of High School and B. Hagias of the
Southslders fought in the 165 pound
encounter. McAleer had his foe’s lip
bleeding before the first round was
over. Both boxers battled their heads
off and in the third each was ab
sorbing a string of rights and lefts.
At one moment in the thrd it an
neared Hagias was going to knock
the SHS man out. but. both m°”

--aainuig .n Chicago and he is looked
upon as the one man to break up
the Southern Caufo.nia duo of Bia
Sefton and Earle Meadows in trycuts
lor the United States Olympic team.
Keith Brown is a former Y»ie
star. And what a star! He has vault
ed higher than any other man on
record (though the official mark is
held by Bill Graber, also a Southern
California boy) and he probably has
cleared 14 feet more often and more
ccn:lstently than any ether vaulter
the world has known.
Six Straight Titles
To get some idea of what Keitn
had done in his long career as a
track highlight, let it be known that
he never was defeated in national
championship competition during his
varsity areer. He was beaten only
twice—once by his teammate, Thomp
son, and once by Emil Dubiel of Har
vard in May, 1935. He has won o;
tied for six straight I. C.-4A vaulti"g
championships and two I. C. 4A hxgn
jumping titles. He holds the indoor
and outdoor world’s intercollegiate
and I. C.-4A records.
Keith prepped for his Yale career
at Andover where he vaulted 13 feet
4 1-2 inches in his l a st year to set
a world’s interscrolastic record. He
entered Yale in 1931 and competed
in the final Olympic trycuts at Palo
Alto as a freshman in 1932. The beet
he could do in the Olympic trials was
13 feet 10 inches which was not
enough to beat out Graber, Miller
and Jefferson for the three places.
Miller went on to win the Olympic
crown.
Uncle Vaults, Too
The former Yale star's greatest
vault was 14 feet 5 1-8 inches, made
in 1935 on the outdoor pit. His
greatest indoor effort was 14 feet 4
inches, made in 1934. The lofty height
of 14 feet he has cleared no less than
25 times in competition.
Keith was coached in college by
Frank Kanaly. Young Brown’s un
cle, Bob Gardner, former national
amateur golf champion and a Yale
man, was the first man to clear 13
feet in I. C.-4A competition when he
negotiated that height in 1913.

ended as a draw.
A draw between Mike Dowdy of
High School and Ted Morris of Ben
edictine in the 175 pound class
brought the card to a close. The
ever popular and inimitable Joe Mc-
Gee, referee, made a successful plea
early last night for less and quieter
“booes.” Joe said they were nothing
personally in his young life “but
when I hold up a fighter’s hand its
the school I’m awarding a decision
to— not the man.” The judges were

HIGH SCHOOL GRIDMEN
END SPRING WORKOUTS
Bogging up to their ankles in
mud and water in some spots on the
Daffin Park field, Savannah High
School’s football squad rounded out
the last day of its spring training
period Friday.
The rough and tumble scrimmage
of Friday was the second and con
cluding day of regular practice
games of the aggregation. Three
teams charged up and down the
field, windiji- up the spring drill.
Th© speedy and clever Billy Safford
split honors with Finney as the top
offensive players of the day. With
the close of the practice the players
are free until September when they
return to school and workouts.
CECIL HURSEY FORCED
TO BED BY INFLUENZA
Cecil Hursey, the “tops” so far
among the nation's contenders for
a berth on the American bicycle
road racing team, is ill at his horte.
A bad cold Hursey developed after -
a recent ride to Charleston forced
him to bed. It later turned into the .
“flu”.
State trials will be held May 3
to select America’s Olympic repre
sentatives. Sectional trials have
been set for some time in June
and the finals will be on July 5.
Dates of the elimination contests
were announced by D. T. Parker,
state representative of the Ameri
can Bicycle League of America.
A new broadloom can be expected
to “shed” for the first few weeks.
Do not at!*mpt to run the vacuum
or carpet creeper over it too often
during this time, as the extra, short
wool should be allowed to mat and
mingle with the nap. This will*
lengthen the life of your rug.
