25 Years of Combat For Bengal

This year was the Silver Anniversary of the Notre Dame Bengal Bouts. For the« benefit of those who aren't familiar with the Bouts, they are a boxing contest promoted annually by the Noti-e Dame Knights of Columbus to raise funds for the Holy Cross "Now you boys icnow the rules missions in Bengal, East Pakistan. Every year ai-ound the middle of March, a number of strong young athletes enter the ring in the Fieldhouse to do battle. Two at a time, they take turns in trying to knock each other's ears off. They do this not only for the pleasure dei-ived from the sport of boxing, but for the glory of God and His Bengal Missions. This year's Bengals were among the best ever held. Fifty-three boxers battled in nine weight divisions and by finals night eighteen top fighters were ready to maul each other for the coveted trophies. From the beginning of the first bout, when^ John Palumbo and Gene Reaux squared oif in the 125-pound contest, until Heavy­ weight champion John McGinley accepted his trophy, the crowd knew that they had seen some real fighters and some top-notch boxing. Palumbo won the first bout, outpointing his opponent on the strength of a good left hook and aggressiveness. In the second contest, John Rodgers put together aggressiveness, some good combinations, and a hard right hand to take the 130- pound title from Jim Connelly. The 135-pound decision went to John Reiss over Leigh- ton Young. Reiss displayed speed and a hard right counter punch as he defeated his opponent. In the 145-pound class Sal Profaci and Jim McDermott went after each other „ like a couple of head-hunters, with McDeiinott coming out on the long end of the^ decision. His freeswinging combinations and hard right won him the nod. Jim . and keep that right hand high!'

away from '54 champion Sars Brennan. Brunot was on the ropes in the first round but came back to clout Brennan with solid lights and win the decision. Mike Mul- rooney and Dick Murphy battled hard in the 165-pound class and Murphy's reach and quick hands won him the title. A Tom Murray took the 175-pound decision from Joe Paul in a fight that resembled the legendary Pier Six brawl. Murray's aggressiveness and right hand gave him the needed points. Pete Noznesky took the 185-pound decision from another '.54 champion, Dick Shulsen. Noznesky boxed well and made good use of a lethal over­ hand right to win the title. The Heavyweight title was won by John McGinley on the strength of a good left hand. McGinley defeated last year's champ, Charlie Connor. In addition to the title trophies, the Sportsmanship Award was presented to Bob Miller and the Father Ryan Trophy went to Eay Barnes. Jim Crowley of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission was given the Bengal Bout Award as the "man who has done the most for boxing in the past year." Awards were also given to Dominic Napolitano by the fighters and by the Knights, and to Father Tom Brennan for their assistance and encouragement given to the Bengal Bouts in the past twenty-five years.—Joe Norton.
