The fight fans' favorite comment, "it could have been a draw." was appropriate last night. Even the officials were split, to say nothing of the crowd of 14.923 which paid $66317. All agreed it was the best fight of the winter season. Judge Charley Shortell liked Young and Judge Harold Barnes found for Jack. Each had it 5-4 in rounds with one even. Fullam Woolens Take Second Place The Oregon Woolen store quintet last night defeated the Oregon Vo cational school Owls 50 to 36 and thereby grabbed off second place in the Klamath Basin Basketball leagues city division.

Market) Office Phone 6606 Nights, Sundays. Holidays Phone 8043 Return Decision Beau Jack comeback Is stalled. All New Yorker named Terry Young thought each boy won live rounds. Ruling that Young took his rounds by a wider margin, he gave Terry a thin 6-5 edge in points. Jack at 26 didn't look like the old bouncing Beau who twice marched to the lightweight crown. Some of the old zip was missing, piobably because of his twice-fractured left Kneecap. Young also had changed. He didn't look like the fellow who lost recently to 19-year-old Paddy De Marco. Terry took punishment gamely, countered with effect and scored the only knockdown of the bout when ne floored Jack for two In the first with a left hook. Reuben Jones, 168'S, Norfolk. Va., closed strong to earn a six round draw with Dick Wagner, 168'i, Portland, Ore., in the bruis ing semi-final. Wagner scored at will with a stiff right hand in the early rounds, opening an old cut over Jones' right eye and drawing a steady stream of blood from hlj nose. Once Jones started to come on In the fifth and sixth he evened matters. The decision was popular with the crowd. West Talm Beach Chili Cantcro, 125, Havana, knocked out Davey Allen, 120, New York, 2.
