Our Best Wishes to Savannah’s New Daily Paper SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES ROGERS High School Boxers Victors Over Benedictines In Final Get Tojetier i); Season Peak Os Games Popularity Rea ched As Ar’.ists M’x In 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°” were winded »nd the cn® of BUSINESS HAS KEPT the world. S*-oi~st pole vaui.er i.oni c-mpe. uglily. Eui, Lae world’s groa*. es<. pole vaulter — x1.0,.n— --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. IOWA BABY WEIGHS 16 POUNDS AT BIRTH CLEAR LAKE, la.. April 4—(TP) —lndications are that Junior Linnle won’t be a “sissy.” They put Junior on the scales just after he was bom, and the pointer spun around to sixteen pounds. That shades the combined birth weight of the famous Lionne quin tuplets by more than three pounds. Said Junior’s doctor today—‘ He’s a pip. I think he’ll make a dandy halfback.” 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 Fielding Russell, 1930 Southern Con ference boxing champion and W.
