Old Pros Believed Involved at Center Safe-Blowing Learned Early Monday CENTER — Safe crackers who are believed to lx? old pros blew open the safe at Center. It is be lieved the amount taken was small although the total had not been determined by 10 o’clock Monday morning. The robbers got into the vault which contained only change and records. The time lock vault in which most of the money was kept was left untouched. The safe-blowing job was dis covered Monday morning by Les ter Fitch of Niobrara, cashier of the bank, and Mrs. Fitch, also an employee, when they arrived to open the bank.

They did a neat job according to Dep uty Sheriff Herb Thompson of Center. The vault door was blown open skillfully and there was no particular disorder. The thieves didn’t strew papers or otherwise disturb the contents of the bank. The federal bureau of investiga tion was notified and local offic ials were directed to leave the scene untouched until the FBI ar rives which is the reason the loss has not been determined.

Simonson post’s team battled South Sioux City glovers in a pre tourney warmup that was fully sanctioned and fully enjoyed by nearly five hundred customers who overflowed the O'Neill Live stock Market arena. All matches were scheduled for three two-min ute rounds. In a preliminary exhibition, Bob Murphy, 145. and Charley Ma hony, 150, fought with no decision. The game young Murphy gave up blood but kept battling. Both are O'Neill youngsters. Don Boykin, 122, South Sioux City, lost to Rolland Closson, 122, O’Neill. Closson was outboxed un til he flurried in the third and got a knockout. Boykin is 16; Closson, 21. Darwin Johnson, 137, outpointed a fellow South Sioux townsman, Ernie Reed, 128. Johnson’s dad was national AAU champ in 1944. C. J. Hendricksen, 158, South Sioux, scored a technical knock out over O’Neill’s Larry Cleary, 159, in the second. Cleary was clipped by Hendricksen's forearm and he tripped. The force in which Cleary hit the mat was worse than Hendricksen’s blow. Cleary got to his knees on the count of nine and then crumbled. Butch Pofahl, 134, Ewing, was too classy for Ray Sanders, 141, South Sioux. Butch ended it with a KO with 1:49 gone in the first. Rabbit"punching by South Sioux’s Roger Curry, 184, was un popular in the semiwindup against Roger Pofahl, 169, Ewing. Al though Pofahl spotted, Curry 15 pounds, it was Pofahl on points. The crowd booed Curry with his rough stuff. Tlie appreciative crowd saw Dean Pofahl, 144. Ewing, outpoint Ronnie Sutton, 142, South Sioux Negro, in the main event. Sutton kept moving to stay out of Po fahl’s reach. Sutton has a string of service wins and has had gold en gloves experience. Dean three times has won the Norfolk GG title and three years ago won the welterweight midwest crown at Omaha.

They took advantage of their opportunities as they cashed I in on 28 out of 52 field goal at- , tempts.
