Two chief specialists from the Mid­ shipmen's School on campus, W. W. Sheerer and Charles Aheme, gave an interesting Judo exhibition during the intermission period. Their demonstration of the elementary breaks and throws were well received by the crowd. With three of the evening's most prom­ ising matches coming up, the fans settled down for the climax of a thrill-packed card. When annotmcer Harry "the Horse" Wright called Frank Lombardo and Virgil "Dugie" Turner to battle it was the final showdown between two directly conflicting styles —the slugger and the boxer. The pattern of the meeting saw- Turner -;— charging, always coming in — and Lombardo—feinting off roundhouse Bengaleers Trade Punches Before 3.000 Enthusiastic Fans in the Fieldhouse swings, and countering with telling blows 16 of his o>vn.
