			:Hollywood Legion fight fans learned the difference between a good bantamweight and a second-rate featherweight Friday night when Pete Sanstol, Norwegian bantam, took an easy 10-round decision over Georgie Hansford, local featherweight.

			:Sanstol took nine rounds, the other being even. He gave Hansford as pretty a boxing lesson as ever handed any boy. [[George Blake\|Blake's]] young battler proved even better than touted before the bout. He would make a great match with [[Speedy Dado]].

			:Hansford established some kind of a record last night. He must have missed a thousand and one punches--or maybe it was a thousand and two. Sanstol would get out at arm's length from Hansford and duck the young feather's punches without any difficulty whatsoever. Hansford probably landed four or five blows--all on the Norwegian's back--during the encounter.

	Reporter Sol Plex wrote that Sanstol "made a big hit for himself and made a monkey out of Georgie Hansford."		Reporter Sol Plex wrote that Sanstol:

			:George Blake's new bantamweight boxer, made a big hit for himself and made a monkey out of Georgie Hansford to easily win the decision in the ten-round main event at the Hollywood Legion Stadium last night.

			:The Norwegian outboxed the local high school boy in practically every round, winning nine out of the ten sessions. He had Hansford fanning for air repeatedly.

			:Hanford's only round was the third, when he clipped Sanstol with a number of punches to the head, which did but little damage. The Norwegian's best round was the sixth, when he jabbed Hansford with six straight lefts in succession and then clipped him with a right on the chin as the round ended.

	----		----

	According to ''Los Angeles Times ''columnist Chas. McDonald: "If Georgie Hansford has a sense of humor he's still probably laughing at himself today. His bout ~~...~~ was just that funny. Hansford missed so many punches and by such wide margins as the clever Sanstol weaved, bobbed and side-stepped, that the battle looked more like an act than a contest of fisticuffs.~~...~~ In fact at times it looked like Hansford was shadow boxing with a common ordinary house fly. Sanstal [''sic''] proved to be just that fast and clever. At the end of the eighth round he had George so dizzy from missing that the local youngster insisted on going to the wrong corner as the gong ended the round."		According to ''Los Angeles Times ''columnist Chas. McDonald:

			:If Georgie Hansford has a sense of humor he's still probably laughing at himself today. His bout at the Hollywood Legion stadium last night with this newcomer Pete Sanstol was just that funny.

			:Georgie lost, as predicted, but he was out-boxed by such a wide margin through-out the 10-rounds of milling that as a fight it turned out to be just one good laugh after another.

			:Hansford missed so many punches and by such wide margins as the clever Sanstol weaved, bobbed and side-stepped, that the battle looked more like an act than a contest of fisticuffs.

			:In fact at times it looked like Hansford was shadow boxing with a common ordinary house fly. Sanstal [''sic''] proved to be just that fast and clever. At the end of the eighth round he had George so dizzy from missing that the local youngster insisted on going to the wrong corner as the gong ended the round.

			:The tow-headed Norwegian, who is now under the management of George Blake, really made a big hit for himself with the legion fans and should have no trouble getting any additional work at the Hollywood arena.
