D. to be assisted to his corner. In another amazing comeback, By CLIF KEANE In one of the best openings since this city cornered the National A. A. U.

boxing championships, the lone defending champion was defeated while six New Englanders remained in contention, two having drawn byes, in a 10-hour-long curtain raiser at tht Garden before 5533. Through the tedious stretch of 62 bouts, 45 ended by decision with a handful of them smacking of poor officiating, and 15 ended in knockouts, many of them finding the unfortunates senseless for minutes. Unexpected strength among practically unknown heavyweights stole much of the thunder in the affair, with a sensational victory by Joe Brown of Abington numbered among the top bouts. Donald Stringer of Portland, But though victorious, Brown's road to the top-weight title is rugged, to say the least. For just previous to his victory, three hard-punching Negroes silenced opponents even more spectacularly.

Enjoy the pleasure of wearing one this Spring! There is a reason for the Danvers parochial school nailing McCabe for five more years.

In football his St. John's elevens won 19. lost three and tied two; in barket ball, using the R. I. fire-horse style of play.

St. John's won 50 and lost 16, averaging 55 points a game. In baseball his three-year average is well over .500. Speaking of coaches, see where Bernie Friberg will handle the baseball team at Swampscott this year, succeeding the veteran mentor Warren Morton. Friberg is a former major league ball player, and early in the war was faculty One of the poor decisions of the night came when Jackie Wilson won his second-round bout over James Zaicko of Baltimore, Md.

Zaicko won at least two of the rounds and showed his disappointment at losing when he carried on quite noisily after the bout, shadow boxing and stomping his way through the crowd behind the ringside sector. Keith Nuttall, Salt Lake City, Utah, protege of Henry Armstrong, who has been boxing since he was 8 years old, lost in the opening round to Buddy Smith of Cincinnati, O. Nuttall, now 17. had been named as the coming champion of champions, but failed to show more than a fair left hook against the rugged Negro. his double chores.

He was closely followed in ability by Eddie Marotta. rugged Cleveland featherweight Lyman Holloway of Salt Lake City, Utah, also double performers, Holloway making a great finish in his last match with Emmet Gurney of Norfolk, Va. Down for a two count in the first round, Holloway came back to have Gurney reeling through the last round from right-hand smashes to the jaw. The ever-popular Hawaiians once again made their presence felt, winning four of six bouts, with Richard Kikuyama, also a featherweight, making the most impressive showing.

William Roberts of Indianapolis, and Kenny Nerison of Portland, stomped into one another like maddened bulls all through the three rounds, with Roberts being given the decision. Roberts Sullivan has been chosen captain of basket ball for the Gold and Blue for next Winter. Sullivan was the ace floor man on the quintet last season.

Chase Peterson of Logan, Utah, has been elected captain of the Middlesex School basket ball team for next Winter. At Lexington High, Bob Armstrong is the capt-elect of hockey for next season, and in basket ball, Manny Coscia and Charles Sykes are co-captains elect. Another Lexington item: "Sonny" Galvin, sub forward, was the winner of the Matt Allen Memorial Award in basket ball, and the same award, for hockey, went to Ray Brooks. These awards are given annually to the player showing the most cooperation and all round spirit and team play, and are given in memory of Mat Allen, former Lexington High athlete who was killed in World War II.

On the home front. The victories of Mclntyre and Small weren't too impressive, especially the latter's. For the full three rounds, Small and his opponent, Julius Grif th of Indianapolis, made much of posing, but did little fighting.
