i 2 12 fi li De Santis Gains Nod Oyer Wilson in Thrilling Bout at Elks Hall I FOWLER LOSES ON T. K. .0 By FRANK KOPESKY Slam-bang amateur boxing of the type that popularized such lads as Frankie Blair and Ed Gehringer six or seven years ago returned to Camden last night. With a throng of nearly 500 in ottonHnni-o the Prtrflmniint letic Club of Gloucester staged its weekly bouts at the Elks Auditorium here and of the eight scraps presented, six terminated in bloody technical knockouts. The real thriller of the evening brought together Joe De Santis, of Pen-Mar A.

and Joe Wilson, of the Crispus Attucks. This scrap, which went the limit with De Santis gaining the decision, had the spectators in an uproar from; start to finish. From the opening bell until the finish the hard-hitting welterweights rocked each othW! with rights and lefts. It was a battle be tween two well-drilled amateurs and De Santis merited the verdict by only the slimest of margins. The "last round, in which Wilson twice went down, probably was the deciding factor in De Santis' victory, i rosso Gains Nod The only other bout which went the limit of five rounds found John Grosso, of gaining the nod over Tony Marcello, ofiCorsac A.

C. in another welterweight get-together. The verdict of Judges Kilberg and Anderson and Referee Floyd Olt failed to meet the approval of the spectators, who booed the decision loud and long. Paramount A. C.

entered four of its own scrappers in the show and only one emerged the winner, Walter Seagrave, another welter weight, brought the host Iclub its only victory when he scored a tech nical knockout over Ed Innaurato, fo the Forty-eighth Ward Boys' Club of Philadelphia, in the fourth The bout was about even when Innaurato suffered la badly cut eye and was compelled to quit. The windup brought jtogether Tom Fowler, Paramount 126- pounder, who lost on ftT.IK. O. in the second round to Phil Emma, of Franklin B. C.

due to a profusely bleeding nose. Emma (won the first round and had the better of the second, which lasted one min ute 32 seconds. Douris Halts Smith In a lightweight engagement, Charley Douris, of East Side, scored a T. K. O.

over! Thomas Smith, another Paramount scrapper. Smith held his opponent on even terms in the opening round, but was slapped all around the ring in the second, Doiiris scoring- the T. K. O. in 57 seconds of the third when Referee: Olt decided the boy had had enough.

Larry Herbert, the other Para mount entrant and like wise a welterweight, was no match for ex perienced Charley Jenkins, of Crispus Attucks. It was the first bout of Larry's career and he needs considerable more training, ine end came in 35 seconds of the second round after Jenkins had won the first easily. "I A hard fight that also produced plenty of action was waged between Charley of East Side, and Andy Staffieri, of the Forty-eighth Ward outfit. Shelton slapped Staffieri all over the ring for the first two rounds, but the latter rallied to make a fight of it and won the third by a shade. The fourth was even and Shelton scored a T.

K. O. in the fifth when he cornered the stricken Staffieri and plastered on vicious riehts and lefts. In the other bout on the card, Johnny Giovinni, Pen-Mar, scored a T. K.

O. in the second round over Frank Acosta, of Cris dus Attucks. The time was one minute 17 seconds. ANDY CHISICK ELECTED VILLANOVA GRID LEADER Members of the Villanova var sity football squad have elected Andy Chisick, 210 pound center, captain of the team for the past season.1 He is a member of the senior class, and played his fare well eame against Manhattan.

mi mm THE PANTS MAN We Ha Pant to Hatch Vour Siie" Work Clothe 1Ar Slwe and Gloves Ur. Joe Martin Heads List of Returning Lettermen; Reserve Material Good DE SERVIO AT CENTER By FRANK KOPESKY Although faced with the toughest basketball schedule the school has every attempted, Coach Arthur "Ilufezy" Blaker Is confident his Camden High passers possess the ability and "moxie" to stand the pace during the forthcoming season. Blaker, former Purple and Gold and William and Mary College athlete, wore a pleased expression yesterday as he scurried his hoopsters through a stiff practice session in the gymnasium of the Farnham Park schoolhouse. "We're embarking on the roughest road a Camden High basketball team has ever been asked to travel," Blaker declared in the true sports writer lingo. Six Veterans Return "However, I have six lettermen from last season who have sprouted like Indian grass and another half- dozen candidates who will relieve me of all substitute headaches.

"Several boys who played outstanding basketball last season apr pear even more polished in the present practice sessions, and there are a couple of lads on last year's jayvee outfit who are apt to attain starting berths if they keep up the good work." Blaker, who recently recovered from an armful of boils that explains his absence at the Camden High football contest with Trenton, has had. an entire month to give his boys a going over and he should know by now whereof he speaks. Heading the sextet of lettermen is Joe Martin, star of the recent football squad, who is "coasting" in practice until after the charity grid tussle on Saturday. Joe is in perfect condition, however, and will need little brushing up to place him in top shape for the basketball job. Other Lettermen The seasoned performers who are like God's little children to Blaker are Dick Quick, Ed Roman, Nate Klein, Sam Boulton and Tony Di Servio, Blaker is especially enthuiastic over the work of Martin, Di Servio and Klein.

"Martin is a heady player who'll do the team plenty of good during the hard season coming up," the mentor declared. "Klein is perhaps the most improved player on the squad, and Di Servio is my idea of a good all-around performer. Di Servie, you'll recall, was consider- ably handcapped last season by in- juir DL Servio will serve at centre, while Martin will be up front with Klein in the backcourt. If Blaker's forceful proclamations carry any weight, it will take a depth bomb to jolt any one of this trio off the. varsity.

Quick and Boulton also are listed as forwards, while Roman is a guard. Other Show Class Glancing down the line to the jayvees of last year's "so-so" outfit, one firyls a couple of big boys like "Ziggy" Matera and Dom Massara trying hard to move into the var sity and displaying plenty of class in the attempt. Others who have caught Blaker eye are Ed Biehler, Le Roy Tucker, Ed Skolski and Phil Brooks, Junior. This reserve squad, second-string ers for the present at least, includes several boys whose names are quite familiar in local sporting circles. Young Brooks Is the offspring of the Camden High athletic director; Matera is a younger brother to Joe Matera, former all-around Purple and Gold athlete; Biehler has a brother named Bob on the varsity at Woodrow Wilson High, and Ed Skolski is the brother of Johnny, the Wilson football star of the recent campaign.

To top it off, Massara is a former Camden Catholic High basketeer. All Games at Civic Hall Camden will desert the bandbox gymnasium once and for all and play all of its games at Convention Hail. The season gets under way on Saturday, December 16, with the Purple and Golds stacking up against Asbury Park, at the latter's court. Then on Tuesday, December 19, local fans will be presented with their first double-header of the season when Camden tackles Gloucester and Camden Catholic faces an un-named opponent. Camden High is the defending city champion, having won the title last year by conquering Joe Barry's Catholic quintet in a playoff game.

The Purple and Golds last year compiled a record of 12 triumphs and 10 defeats, but Blaker is confident of improving oh this despite the fact that the schedule is tougher. The complete slate will be released at a later date. COOPER SPARKS PAVONIA TO WIN OVER REVELERS Jack Cooper sparked th Favonla A. C. to victory over the South Jersey Reveler last niKht.
