Capacity Crowd
Sees VFW Fights
By HERB WILLIAMS
In the third of a series of
smokers sponsored by the local
chapter of the VFW, held in the
Nome High School gymnasium
last Saturday night, a fine capa
city crowd was treated to five
cards of boxing plus a four-man
tag wrestling team.
The first card of the evening
found Clyde Nershak, 140 pounds,
of Nome, winning by a knockout
early in the third round over Gil
Ozenna, 145 pounds, formerly of
Nome, now in the Air Force.
In the second bout, Gay Cox,
150 pounds, from Florida, now
stationed at Nome Field, won by
very close decision over Guy
Ryan, 145 pounds, of Alabama.
Bout number three found Den
ton Howard, 165 pounds, of Nome,
losing cfn a decision to Bob Rogers
of New York, 173 pounds, repre
senting the base.
Harold Perkins of CAA, 170
pounds, remained undefeated as
he won a third round TKO over
Chuck Sindelar, 174 pounds, from
the base.
In the feature bout of the eve
ning, a battle of heavyweights,
Larry Minix, at 216 pounds, from
Nome, easily defeated his battling
opponent from the base, Bill Mil
ler, 195 pounds. Miller was un
able to answer the bell for the
third round.
The wrestling teams were made
up of Frank Remski and Jim
Harris against Pete Hahn and Mel
Lemmon. It was a tag team affair
as two wrestlers would grapple
for a short period and then be
relieved by the other two men. It
O
ended up a “free-four-all,” no
holds barred and referee John
Lundeen even got into the act and
had his ears pinned Jjack.
Officials for the smoker in
cluded referee Les Bronson, time
keeper Art Paulos, judges Jim
McLain, Luther Dunbar, and
Ernie Gustafson, and Hap Lancas
ter acted as master of ceremonies.
In the drawing for the outboard
motor after the wrestling, Pete
Hahn was given the motor. Now
he has a motor but no boat. The
proceeds of the fights were to go
toward the purchase of a pulmotor
for the City of Nome.
