There was action aplenty last Saturday evening when GI boxers helped de-
dicate the Andrews Memorial fieldhouse. In these photos, from left to right,
S/Sgt. Benny Caulk (right), who earned the decision, pitches a looping left to-
ward Pfc. Robert Bloom; Seaman 1/Cl. George Cummins of the Navy (right),
victor over Pfc. Johnny Cruz, missed his target this time; Pvt. Ray Hood, who
lost the decision, didn’t hoist Pfc. Truman Parker on his shoulders as the photo
might indicate—he ducked a booming right and Parker’s follow-through carried
him into the air; the camera shows Pvt. Johnny Stutes (left) aiming for Sgt. Ed
Yankee’s skull and catches Yankee tossing an elbow into States’ midriff. Stutes
won the decision.

Three KO’s Feature Opening Show
As Boxers Invade Andrews Memorial Gym
No boxing matches are book- gram, and Pfc. Johnny Cruz, 120,

Navy fighters are working out fans with three torrid rounds.
daily in anticipation of next Sat
urday’s glovefest to be held in
the recently opened Andrews
Memorial fieldhouse.
The overflow throng at last
Saturday’s inaugural show in
the freshly painted fieldhouse
was treated to plenty of action
after a lethargic start. Two
knockouts and a TKO featured
the eight-bout slate, shuffled at
the last minute because three key
punchers were unable to appear.
It took Sgt. Teddy Near, 165
pounds, of Rochester, N.Y., just
1:25 of the first round to polish
off Pvt. Vernon Dodge, 162, of
Islesboro, Me., in the opening
match of the evening. Dodge did-
n’t throw a solid punch during
his brief tenure in the ring and
fell before a fierce barrage of
sharp rights and lefts to the head.
Cpl. Johnny Davis, 168, of
Kingsport, Tenn., unleased a be-
lated spurt in the third round
after two dull sessions of waltz,
ing and glove-waving, but he
couldn’t overcome Pvt. Paul Rab-
ble’s earlier margin and the 173-
pounder from Portsmaouth, Va.,
eked out a split decision. However,
the crowd didn’t agree with the
judges and voiced their disappro-
val for several minutes after the
fight.
Seaman 1/Cl. George Cummins,

lone representative on the pro-
The problem in this picture is where’s the ball? This action
was recorded as the Air Corps Eagles hurled back the Trans-
portation Bears, 20-0, Monday. Are you tired of looking for the
hidden pigskin? Well, it’s being carried by the gent in a dark
jersey busily engaged trying to get himself disengaged from
the two Bear huskies at the far fight, (USAAF Photo),
Cummins caught Cruz twice in
the second heat with his sweep-
ing roundhouse left that starts
from the bleacher seats, but, al-
though he grabbed the verdict,
the colorful redhead couldn’t
put Cruz to sleep.
Sharp counter-punching by
S/Sgt. Benny Caulk, 138, gave the
Columbia, Tenn., boxer a one-
sided victory over Pfc. Robert
Bloom, 136, of St. Paul, Minn.
And Pfc. Fiore Agnello, 150, of
Bronx, N.Y., finally cornered Sgt.
Ronald Rayle of Scranton, Pa.,
in the third round to score a
TKO after 55 seconds in the last
round. A shower of short, chop-
py lefts and three rapid rights
to the head finished Rayle.
After the glima exhibition, Pvt.
Johnny Stutes, 127, of Lafayette,
La., rapped out a popular deci-
sion over Sgt. Ed Yankee, 126,
of New Britain, Conn. Yankee
was willing but sadly out of con-
dition and he tired badly in the
second round.
One sledgehammer right thrown
by Pfc. Benny Parks, 149, of
New Orleans, La., finished S/Sgt.
Jack, Butler, 155, of Philadelphia,
Pa., in 35 seconds of the open-
ing heat, almost before Stutes
and Yankee had reached the
showers. It was the shortest bout
of the season.
In the finale, Pvt. Raymond
Hood, 150, of Cambridge, Mass.,
clowned his way through three
rounds but failed to reckon with
the power of Pfc. Truman Park-
er, 149, of Columbus, Ga., and
lost the decision.
The fighters were trained,
matched and handled by Pvt.
Louis (Lucky) Lucchese. The re-
ferees were Lt. Col. Lee F. Gils-
trap and Maj. Lou Mark.
Sammy Baugh Stings Bears, 21-7;
Steagles Win 35-34 Slugfest
The Chicago Bears’ apparently
insurmountable lead of a week
ago is nothing more than a one-
game sliver over the rugged
Green Bay Packers today as teams
in the National Football League
move into the home-stretch of
their play-for-pay season.
The Bears suffered their first
setback of the season when they
bowed to the unbeaten Washing-
ton Redskins, 21-7, in Washing-
ton, Sunday. Unless the Windy
City gridders slip again, last
week’s contest is a preview of
the league championship game.
As was expected, the tussle
touchdown passes, booted a field
goal and converted four tries.
His most spectacular play occur-
red in the third quarter when
he caught a 15-yard pass and
dashed 60 yards to score.
The Pittsburgh-Philadelphia
Steagles and the Detroit Lions
unfurled the weirdest exhibition
of the season with the Steagles
emerging with a 35-34 victory.
The game was replete with thril-
ling runs, accurate passes and
developed into a bitter aerial duel Washington

for the first time this season to
subdue the Seahawks at South
Bend, Ind., before 50,000 fans.
Notre Dame twice was forced
to come from behind during the
afernoon, and a fourth-down
field goal boot by McGarry from
the Irish 16-yard line just missed
its mark.
The Seahawks, with six pro-
fessionals in the lineup, proved
a formidable opponent for Notre
Dame. Halfback Dick Todd,
Washington Redskin star for six
years, set the stage for the first
Iowa Pre-Flight touchdown in the
opening period when he punted
out of bounds on Notre Dame’s
two-yard line, from where Art
Guepe galloped over when the
Seahawks (regained possession
of the ball.
Notre Dame knotted the count
in the third quarter when Bob
Kelly crashed over from the
three-yard marker. But Iowa op-
ened another lead in rapid fash-
ion, the scoring play being a
13-yard forward pass from Todd
to Perry Schwartz, former
Brooklyn Dodger end. However,
McGarry’s conversion placement
sailed wide of the uprights.
The Irish bounced back to
clinch the victory in the fourth
quarter when Creighton Miller
climaxed a 55-yard downfield
march with a touchdown sprint

old halfback, drop-kicked the
game-winning extra point.

his way 12 yards through a maize
of enemy tacklers for the third
Engineer six-pointer. In the last
frame, Mattis flipped a pass to
Grady Bevill for another score.
An 85-yard touchdown romp
on the opening kickoff by Har-
old Nerino, rugged, under-sized
Eagle triple-threat back, paved
the way for the Air Corps’ 20-0
vifctory over the improved Trans-
portation Bears on Monday’s
slate. Nerino pocketed the ball
on his own 15 and knifed
through the entire Bear defense
behind strong interference to
score.
The Eagles were thwarted un-
til just before the final whistle
blew. Gaining possession of the
ball on the enemy’s six-yard mar-
ker, the Eagles picked up a scant
three yards in three plays from
scrimmage, but Capt. Larry Tay-
lor, whose fierce blocking for
Nerino and other Eagle backs
featured most of the game, found
a hole in the line and plunged
