From the first three round pre liminary on the seven-bout card, to the final six rounder the boxers were well matched and gave a good account of themselves. In none of the bouts was one boxer able to dominate the show or carry every round. The first round of the main event was uneventful, both boxers being cagey and testing the opponent be fore cutting loose with anything which might offer an opening. They traded punches to body and head, with Falgren landing the greater number but neither of them getting in any telling blows. It was Fal gren’s round by a shade.

Norton showed the effect when retiring to his corner at the close of the stanza. It was Fal gren’s round by a large margin. Norton came out of his corner the aggressor in the third. His burst of speed got Falgren almost wholly on the defensive but his attempts to cover up couldn’t stop Norton's hard punches to the head. Before the close of the stanza Norton took one in the midriff that hurt and it seemed that he almost went down Norton took the round. The fourth round was about even, both boxers being successful in parring tactics. However, Norton was the aggressor and was success ful in nailing Falgren a few times when he was coming out of cover, so it was Norton’s round. The fifth was the slowest of the bout, there was much clinching. It was a draw. Norton Comes Out Strong Again in the Sixth Norton came out of his corner with a burst of speed and cut loose with everything he had. Falgren went down for the count of nine from a hard right to the chin. He got up, steadying him self with one hand on the ropes, while Norton came in to land blow after blow to the head until Falgren went down again and the final bell sounded at the beginning of the ref eree’s count. Displaying a furious brand of in- fighting and willingness to mix throughout their four round en gagement, Juddy Ruddy and Jack Nash fought to a draw.

Nash tied Rud dy up in the first round in clever style, putting a stop to the Grand Forks fighter’s efforts. The round ended in a draw.

Juddy came back strong in the third to punish the Portland bat tier with hard punches to the head and beat Nash to the punch on the infliting.
