"Ernie Lopez, a red-haired 19 year old, who has built up quite a following in previous Castaways' cards, had just too much speed for the bomb-throwing Bernie Magallanes, who in losing was suffering his first loss after six wins while Ernie was making his record 9-0. Magallanes must speed up his thinking and try to get off faster as this was his downfall against Lopez." -The Las Vegas SUN
- The Pasadena Independent reported this as a unanimous decision win for Lopez.
- Magallanes had just been awarded Ring Magazine's 'Prospect of the Month'.
