Feature bout invader Billy McDonald outpoined Len Hitchens in the five-round main event while, in the semi-windup, Vancouver's Lyle Collins laid light heavy- weight Terry McCarthy low by a technical knockout in the second minute of the third round. Highly satisfied with his two fighters, trainer Tommy Gann of Vancouver's Western Sports Club expressed a desire to bring more of his boys to Prince Rupert. Mr. Gann was highly pressed both with the calibre of the local fighters and the Civic Centre sports set-up. 'That was a fight you could see anywhere and bo proud of," Mr. Gann said of the McDonald-Hitehens encounter. "I hope you invite us to bring some more fighters up here. You have really got a fine recreation centre at Prince Rupert worthy of a city many times the size." Although there was six or seven years difference in their ages, McDonald being the younger, the two main event contenders were as evenly matched a pair as could be placed in the same ring. Both weighed in at 147 pounds and both obviously had experience. However, alter the first round, the two boys showed a marked difference in style, McDonald In the seml-wund-up, a right to Terry McCarthy's Jaw after two minutes of the third round achieved a technical knockout rOiHJODaOOO)ODOOOOOOOODOOC(rOOOODOODOOOOOaOlHJ&OC' SEK US FOR ALL IIE(UIKF.MF..V'TS IN Office Supplies Consult us for your needs In all types of printing work Everything in high class stationery Cards for every occasion Fountain Pens DIBB PRINTING COMPANY 3ESNER BLOCK THIRD AVENUE MoHooocH3aooHKmoDtwooooooaaooooooaDaHKiacH3CH5oioo UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT -' Pall Mall Cafe AND CHOP SUEY at CENTRAL HOTEL HAS REOPENED We specialize in tender, juicy steaks and Chinese dishes.

Welterweight Leo Aaolph .was obviously out on a search for blood in his exhibition bout with 153-pound Jack Richards. On the other hand, Richards was not letting any opportunities pass by. Both fighters wound up bleeding. If any decision had been given It would have gone to Adolph who despite lack of recent training, has1 a good background of experience to draw from. He knocked Richards down three times in the third round. A technical knockout in the first round was handed out by Vic Johnson to Walter Carlson in the 115 -pound class. Carlson folded after a body blow in the final seconds of the round. In the same weight class, Dick Smith was awarded the decision fnr t.vIp fYiiiinfr nnth linht.

ColUng, an efficient in-fighter, capitalized on McCarthy's lack of control by getting inside his wild swings and hitting hard. Gamest Fighter of I'reliniinaries One of the finest moments of the evening was the awarding of a prize to the gamest fighter on the preliminary card. The momento, awarded by Tommy Gann, went to 80 -pound Billy Tcderas, loser of a fight with Billy McChesney in one of the early bouts. In spite of punishment doled out lavishly by McChesney, Toderas kept coming' in for more and wound up with favoring in -fighting, at which considerable bruises, including a he was proficient, and Hitchens, black eye. apparently, preferring to make use of his jabbing left as a pre-patory measure to landing a decidedly efficient right . Only on one occasion did Hitchens take full advantage of the openings which his left mitt made available. He followed through with a tidy piece of footwork, in the fourth round, lashing out lefts and rights effectively. Had he followed up several such advantages there is little doubt that the decision would have gone in his favor. His attitude was essentially defensive throughout the fight although he did carry the fight on occasion during the five-round battle. In a light-heavyweight preliminary between Bud Collins, 185, and Glen Carolson, 179, the latter won by a technical knockout during the first minute of the first round. Collins was knocked down two seconds after the first bell sounded, then returned to the canvas under the onslaught of a long right to tho body that doubled him up. Jimmy Macdou.gall. 133, took ? decision over Alex Gomez, 139, in a close fight. Gomez, who had a whipping left and a well-drl-ected right preferred open-type fighting, but Macdougal, realizing the disadvantage of his shorter arms and lack of height, kept coming in with body blows. In a no-decislon opener to the preliminaries 70 -pound Jordan Smith and Carl Markie put on a pleasing display. Smith's style was good, showing the experience of his Golden Gloves expedition to Vancouver last year. Judges for the card were Timekeepers were Bob Cameron and Wally Landon.
