The CARDINAL I936 vicious and thrill-provoking battle ever fought in the spacious gym, decisioned the tough John Birkland with a wide margin. The hopes of Victory which had been growing all evening, were finally realized- C.U. was victorious by the close score of 415-515. Next came the cream of the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference, Carnegie Tech. They were sent back hopelessly outclassed, 7-1. Freshmen Bunsa and Misenhelter proved their worth as prospective varsity bat- lers. Bunsa thrilled the crowd by doing something that Ripley writes aboutehe knocked out his oppo- nent twice and the referee once, all in the same round. The latter was the result of a round-house left which caught the official Hush on the chin as he was about to step in to catch the Tech man before he fell. Leaving Brookland for their first and only match away, the Cardinal l'leather pushers entrained for North Carolina where they encountered the exceptionally strong Duke University team. Rydzewski as usual, and Katalinas scored the only C.U. Victories. The match was far from being a one sided affair. The Duke Victories were earned by narrow margins after highly con- tested bouts. Returning to their native fields, the CU. mittmen gained two glor- ious victories over Pittsburgh and Cornell. Twinkletoes Guinan after three fast and aggressive rounds against a Pitt panther was awarded a well deserved decision. This marked his first intercollegiate victory and followed upon many disappointing losses in which his Lady Luck was conspicuously absent. Against Cornell the squad reached the heights of perfection. Losing but one bout the Cardinal Sluggers completely outclassed the lads from Ithaca. As the bell rung at the end of the third round of the last bout and as Katalinas lumbered out of the ring a winner, the curtain fell upon another year of intercollegiate boxinge a year ushered in with dismal predictions, but ending with applause and praise from all sides. To Eddie La Fond, Captain Carmen La Salle and to each and every member on the squad we extend our wholehearted congratulations. FERDINAND RYDZEWSKY Their splendid exhibition of the true C.U. spirit and Will to win had car- ried the cardinal and black colors to many hard earned, yet sweet, triumphs. I34
