- "Sharp-shooting Eddie Machen chalked up his 14th victory in as many professional fights Monday night when he stopped Sgt. Matt Jackson in the 4th round of a scheduled 10 round fight at San Francisco Gardens. Referee Fred Apostoli halted the fight at 2:51 of the 4th shortly after Jackson had fallen to the canvas for the third time and his corner threw in the towel. Machen also dropped Jackson in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, with the bell saving his opponent each time. Jackson's third and final trip came in the 4th after Machen spun completely around after missing a left uppercut - but then connected with a right to the face." -United Press
