Houck Changes Mittmen
For Syracuse Encounter
KOLAKOSKI GETS LIGHTWEIGHT POST
WHILE 125-POUND DIVISION
GOES TO FILEGAR r
Although the Penn State boxers
performed creditably in their 5-2 vic
tory over Western Maryland Satur
day, Coach Leo Houck has made sev
eral changes in the line-up for the
bouts with Syracuse tomorrow after
noon m the Armory. Failure to
reach the proper weight is the cause
for Leo's shifting of his proteges.
Italy Leases Featherweights
'Closing his career as a feather
weight hoer aith a victory Jost Sat
urday, Marl-haired Kolakoski mll
make his debut tomorrow in the 125-
pound dmsion. Koly has trained
hare all year but keeping within the
featherweight bounds has been a
difficult task. To continue in the 125-
pound class would only result in con
riderable weakening of Kolakoski's
physical condition and Houck fins ad
vanced h.m to the class to which he
is moio adapted.
Filegar Drops Ten
Sbrango as it may seem hones or,
Filegat, 1926 lightweight champion,
will make his first appearance to
morrow in the 125-pound division.
Filcor has always been light for his
class and the new position in the line
up shook! be an advantage to him
Thu veteran has fought lightweight
tom scats and has vvericnced too
intercollegiate tournaments.
The 145-pounder tomorrow will
probably be Wilford. Because Stese
Bendak is too heavy for the licher
%eight class, Leo has assigned this
post alternately to Boruck end Wil
ford. Bendiek's poor showing against
Skean of Western 'Maryland was in
great part due to laxity in training
Even though" Beranek !holds the 175-
pound intercollegiate crown, Leo is
convinced that welterweight is has
natural clam. ÜBendiek must make
