(Photo by Windy Drum) Boxing Raw or Well-Done In Ferocious Gloves Action FOR TEXAS By EARL GOLDING Tribune-Herald Sports Staff Eddie Castillo, a ring-wise hurricane from Texas A. and and perhaps the two most courageous high 'school boxers in the annals of local amateur boxing stole the show at the semifinal round of Waco's Twelfth Annual Regional Golden Gloves Tournament Saturday night. When the 36-bout program was over the lucky crowd unanimously agreed they had never seen a better Gloves card here or any place else. Castillo, a stumpy ring veteran from Temple and Aggieland, fought a terrific battle in eliminating James vastly-improved Don Walker in one of two Open light-heevy bouts. The high schoolers with the big hearts did the heated rivalry between La Vega and Waco Tech proud.

Thomas Bledsoe, a classy thumper from Trojanland. and newcomer Don Carpenter of La Vega kept the crowd standing for three full rounds with a real knock-down and drag-out scuffle. Bledsoe, the Junior High Tournament I Box Scores favorite in the 160-pound division, survived a second-rtmnd knockdown to take a split decision. This one have been decided fairly. It was a fight which should have ended with two winners and no losers, for seldom havp high school boys demonstrated such courage, determination and ring skill.

Castillo and Walker exchange savage knockdowns in Vheir bout. Walker, trailing in the first round, caught the cagey Aggie with a jarring left uppercut just before the bell and dropped him for an eight count. Then in the second, Castillo hemmed the airman against the ropes and knocked him completely over the top strand with two looping rights. Black Upset There were five Open bouts in all, setting the stage for Monday final round which will crown champions in 32 different divisions. Another Open light-heavy bout saw Paul Terrill upset Bill Black.

Baylor and the Aggies exchanged lightweight victories. Lanky James Larle used a masterful left jab to eliminate George McCoy via a first-round technical knockout, and power-punching Everett DeShea decked game James He- bert twice in winning a unanimous decision. Baylor welter Paul Vass won by default over Johnny Burk. Waco. La Vega Feathers Win The High School division again was a lulu.

La Vega sent four featherweights into the semi-finals, with Bobby Carpenter decisioning Glenn Busby and Robert Sydow winning from Jimmy Anz. Advancing with Bledsoe into the middleweight finals was Garland Pelzel, a surprise package from Lott who kayoed Nelson Gabbert. It was the first defeat ever suffered by Gabbert. Other High School winners were lightweights James Horn and knockout-artist Jerry Simmons of Hubbard, welter Jerry Martin of Gatesville State School, and Ruben Allala, Waco High light- heavy. Winning in the Novice Division were featherweights Raul Chavez and Louis Moya of GSS; lightweight Paul Valdez.

GSS; welters Don Davis and Richard Jenkins, Baylor, and Joe Hill, Waco; middleweight James Padgett. Waco; and light-heavy Fred McIntyre, Baylor. Juniors Impressive Scoring impressive Junior tories were Mike Smith. Gerald Smith, David Smith, Tim Williams. Ray Gammons.

Charles Melendez, Jan Brown and Delton Thrash. In Monday finals, there will be five Open championship scraps, with featherweight Jerry Flanagan and heavyweight George Allala winning uncontested. There are no Open bantams. Billy Boeche and Jack Hopwood, both of Waco, tangle for the flyweight title. Eerie, the stylist, takes on heavy-hitting DeShea for the lightweight crown, and Vass meets i airman Tony Greco for the welter cup.

Bernie Tackett and John C. Harrison, both Bavlorites, are the mid! dleweight finalists, and Castillo teammate Therrill for the 175-pound trophy. The lightweight fracas shapes up as the most promising. It matches two of Saturday most popular fighters. DeShea exhibited a terrific punch in winning over Hebert, and Earle displayed fine boxing skill against McCoy.

A crowd of over 3.r,00 persons is expected Monday nighL CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS RESULTS You can get your boxing from raw to well done at the mammoth Heart Texas Coliseum. all a matter of seating. The ringside serves up boxing rare and bloody. Up front, the Golden Gloves Tournament is as personal as a body blow. You sweat a little and the drippings from the towel feels pretty good, because right there codging and ducking and knees buckling under you.

The front row bleachers offer up boxing only slightly more of a spectator's sport. Get an aerial view from the top row of the coliseum and you can lean back in comfort and watch without you don't know the boy in the ring. From the top row, all spectator and no redder than a picture on TV. The Golden Gloves fans fall Into a pattern, just like the seating. Folks up a few here and there with an up front expression and $1 appear to be under some hypnotic spell.

They yell much. They just look. Take the two, well- dressed attractive young women who missed a night at the ringside. They always eat popcorn, but their eyes never leave the ring. The cheering begins a few rows back.

If you are a rabid cheerer, you can join the nomads who seem to have seats. This group moves up the aisle and yells as it moves. The bleachers have two types of folks who turned out en masse to cheer on the home-town lad and the fans who study the program, check the weights and heights and pick their man. Both groups are nice and noisy and lots of fun. A word of caution: better get their early, though, or practice walking upstairs backwards if you plan to do any seat testing.

Turn your back and you'll be booing the decision when everybody else is cheering. Well, almost everybody.
