In Fort Worth Tuesday Four Ag Boxers In State Tourney Jabbing, hooking Henry Jurado carved his way to the open welter weight championship in Waco’s Golden Gloves Meet Tuesday night and will join a four-man Aggie team to the state tournament in Fort Worth next week. After a slow first round Jurado came on strong to wrap up the decision and title. He used his left hook in the first but was repeatedly hit by combinations and a right uppercut that left a small mouse under his left eye. Jurado moved out fast in the second and used a left-right com bination to down his James Con- nally Air Base opponent. His foe was up at eight and Jurado downed him again with a clean right cross to the jaw. In the final round of the three rounder, Jux-ado won going away as he dropped his opponent again with a right to the head after cornering him against the ropes. Heavyweight favorite Jack Fowler won on a default when his opponent was unable to appear due to an injured hand. Waco tournament officials invi ted 108 pound Robert (Hook) Can ales to represent them in the state meet after the Aggie won the nov ice fly-weight crown without ever breaking a sweat. Canales boxed through the rapid first round using hooks and com binations that sent his opponent slipping to the canvas midway through the initial frame. The Aggie flyweight will carry a long record of novice and high school bouts in to the state tournament. Lightweight Robert Colunga, who spent his time seconding Ag gie boxers in the Houston and Waco meets was asked to represent Waco at Fort Worth. Colunga is an able boxer in his own right. He has made three previous trips to the state meet after capturing bantam and featherweight titles at Harlingen. Novice middleweight Ken Curry showed gameness but, a lack of experience as he was TKO’ed 34 seconds deep in the third round. He was downed in the first by a stiff left hook but gamely rose to his feet at the count of eight. He was rocked time and time again early in the second but came pressing back with a two-handed attack that made his opponent hang-on. A rapid-fire one-two punch left the Aggie defenseless on the ropes at the halt of the fight. Novice featheiweight Felix Ramirez never opened up as he was decisioned in the 126 pound finals. He was down in the second, more from a slip than a punch, but he never made up the deficit.
