BILLY ANDERSON (right) gets set to throw a roundhouse left hook to the midsection of Bill Van
Houten in an abbreviated welterweight tangle last Sunday night. Shortly after the blow was thrown
the referee stepped the bout and awarded it to Anderson. The time was 87 seconds of the first round.

BOBBY VAN*
Many of you will remember Don
for his exploits on the gridiron here
last fall. Playing halfback on the
Post champion Division Troops
Raiders he was one of the team's
mainstays. More than once Don
personally accounted for long gains
that helped his team to an unde
feated season.
Hailing from Holland—Michigan
that is—"Dutch" (an appropriate
nickname given him by friends) is
a graduate of Hope College in
Michigan where he played four
years of football. He also played
and has an accurate knowledge of
just about every other conceivable
sport.
No stranger to a newspaper's
sports desk Don writes vividly
about athletic events (ed. note—
see VAN'S VIEWPOINT in this is
sue). While in college when he
wasn't participating in a sport he
was writing about it for the campus
paper.
It's easy to see that Don Van In
gen will do a good job—that he will
provide you with enjoyable sports
reading. Good luck Don and
so long fans.

Boxing once again was the center
of attraction last Sunday night as
11 spectacular fistic events took
place at the new outdoor "Punch
Palace" at Hqs. Ave. and 42nd St.
Four fights ended as the losers hit
the canvas for the ten court three
when the referee stopped the fights
and awarded TKO's and four end
ing in decisions.
It didn't take the fans long to see
the action they had come to wit
ness. In the first match of the
evening—a welterweight go—Thom
as Johnson a lefty from the 1st
MTB proved too much for a game
but outclassed Joseph Sloan of the
4th MTB. At 1:34 seconds of the
first round Johnson sent a right
to the mid-section of Sloan that
floored him for the full count.
In another welterweight fight
Billy Anderson of thi 73rd AFA
TKO'd William Van Houten of the
634th AIB in the opening stanza.
Anderson was too good for the
game Van Houten and the referee
called the fight after 37 seconds
had elapsed.
ANDERSON CLASSY
Showing the greatest poise of the
night Anderson was awarded a
trophy for being the best boxer of
the evening. He was sharp fast
and showed the fans that he will be
a fighter to watch in the months
to come.
The last of the welterweight
bouts brought together John O'Con
nor of the 73rd AFA and Alphonso
Ware of the 702nd AIB. This match
ended in a close decision with the
verdict going to O'Connor. Both
boys -were mixing it all the way
and proved they could take it. The
spectators were well pleased with
this match. For his efforts O'Con
nor was awarded a trophy for being
the most popular fighter of the
evening.
One of the most thrilling contests
of the night was staged between
Charlie Mac Williams 1st MTB
and Paul Jones 4th MTB. This was
a light- middleweight contest and
from the opening gong the crowd
knew that they were in for a treat.
Mac Williams the type of boxer
who likes to end the struggle with
one terrorizing blow failed to find
an opening. Jones kept coming in
and by pacing himself managed to
save enough for the last round
which was enough to garner him
self a close decision.
ONE ROUND KO
A light-middleweight match be
tween David Manigualt of the 702nd
AIB and Sam Tummintello of the
4th MTB ended swiftly. Tummintel
lo was a last minute replacement

but didn't disappoint the fans as he
made fast work of putting Mani-
gault on the canvas. The classy
Tanker got his opponent against
the ropes in the first round and
after a flurry of rights and lefts
landed with a hard right that sent
the Infantryman to the floor end
ing it.
Pitted against Sylvester Stephens
of the 702nd AIB was Harry Hines
of the 4th MTB in the middleweight
division. Stephens hit the canvas
twice in the first round before the
referee stopped the fight thereby
giving Hines the decision in the
time of 57 seconds of the first
round.
James Williams of the 73rd AFA
knocked out Paul Glen Dobbins of
the 4th MTB in 1:33 seconds of the
initial round. Williams came out
slow but didn't take long to show
Dobbins that he was his match.
Using an assortment of blows Wil
liams finally landed with a pulveriz
ing right that put Dobbins away for
the full count.
TATE STOPS TANGLE
The final event of the evening
matched Philip Richardson of the
73rd AFA against Willie Neely
702nd AIB. Richardson connected
with a right that sent Neely sprawl
ing helplessly to the floor. Neely
recovered from the blow and came
back for more. This time Richard
son dropped him again. Neely
came back—only to have the fight
stopped by referee Ed Tate award
ing the match to Richardson by a
TKO.
Other events saw Lester Bar-
tolina 1st MTB win a close decision
from Robert Satterwhite 702nd
AIB in the welterweight class.
In a light-middleweight scrap R.
D. Moore 4th MTB won by a
knockout over James Posey 702nd
AIB. Michael Waldner of the 4th
MTB won a decision over Willie
Young of the 73rd AFA in a light-
heavyweight tussle.
