17 Coaches, Officials Favor
Heavyweight Class Return
Score Elimination as Unfair to Large Group
Of Boxers in Upper College Ranks
The heavyweight class, for long a
subject of attack in intercollegiate
boxing clicks and in many quarters
discarded, is favored by seventeen
coaches and officials in the East and
South as compared to eight who re
sponded negatively in a recent ques
tionnaire.
Spike Webb, coach of Navy boners,
says, "I can see no'reason for doing
away with the heavy bout. First of
all the public wants to see big bones s
in action. Secondly, there is no more
danger connected in heavyweight box
ing than in any other weight.
Thirdly, it isn't fair to the big fellow
to do away with this weight."
Questioning the charge' that the
heavyweight boat is dangerous, Er
nest Sesto, Carnegie Institute of
Technology boxing mentor, claims
that doing away with this division
causes more injury because natural
heavies seek to lose weight in order
that they may fight 111 the light
heavyweight division. "I have seen
natural heavyweights paring their
weight down to 179 pounds which is
sery injurious to the health," he said.
Further comment showed that any
man who weighs the minimum for the
heavyweight can fight an opponent
any degree heavier. When over 190
pounds the men become slow and the
heavier boxers are not as dangerous
as the lighter men.
Dick Harlow, Western Maryland
coach, in favoring the heavyweight
states, "It is no fairer to legislate a

big man out because some colleges
cannot interest their big nien in box
ing than it Is to legislate out the 115-
pounders because soine teams don't
have them Properly matched the
bout is no rougher than any other."
Leo Houck, Lion mentor, also objects
to legislating against the heavy men.
Nearly all the officials and coaches
who favored the class made the gen
eral point that it seems unfair to has
the heavy men because the run of
collegiate heavyweights, generally
speaking, is not very good. Consid
ering it from the spectator's angle,
they cited the heavyweight as one of
the most colorful and popular bouts.
Those who cups essed themselves
opposed to the class argued princip
ally that there was a scarcity of nice
in that weight and that unevenly
matched bouts were too common and
led to serious injury. Others said
that crew, hockey, and similin sports
attracted the pick of the largos men
who were not interested us boxing.
Coaches and officials interviewed
represented the following institutions:

115-pound champion from Temple,
will not appear in the ring until to

night, earned the right to battle the
Florida flash, Mmardi, for the semi
finals of the 126-pound class tonight.

a brilliant suiprise victory over the
Southern Conference champion,
Watts, last night will have to face up
with Goldstein this afternoon in the
semi-finals. Goldstein, Southern

fighting last night, meets Delgerno,
Yale slugger, in the semi-finals of
the welterweight outfit. Preyer of

Washington State College sophomore
who won 'the Pacific Coast intercol

Pete Updegrove, hard-hitting Lion
160-pounder, swelled the ranks of
Houck's men in the semi-finals to
five when he outbattled Butcher,

looks like the class of the tourney.

Triangular Association Leaders
Inaugurate 67th Campaign
Here This Afternoon
Penn State's Triangulm Association
championship baseball team wall be
gin a defense of 1931 laurels when
they open the sixty-seventh annual
diamond campaign with St. Francis
College as their opponents at 2 15
o'clock on Beaver Field diamond.
- Since baseball was first played here
in 1875 the Lion has left his mark
high in collegiate diamond records,
from the earliest contest to last ,y ear's
season which saw eight victories in
ten starts. The 1932 season will be
the second under the reign of Coach
Joe Bedenk.
Finding the Lion squad fortified
by but u single week of outdoor prac
tice, today's game inonnses plenty of
trouble for the Nittany tossers Cold
weather kept the squad indoor, until
a week ago and the team today lacks
the experience that is gained through
v.eeks of constant practice
However, the same thing holds true
for St Francis which also opens its
season with today's contest The
strength of the Loretta nine is as
much in doubt as the real strength of
the Lion team
Jesse Brewster, who did consider
able football playing on Beasci Field
last fall, is slated to stmt on the
mound for Penn State with Paul Winn
and Dave Meade in reserve. Coach
Toe Bedenk indicated last night that
he will use all three hurlers, with each
working three innings if possible.
1=1:I
Although Pepper Marsh was back
in imam in last night, Phil Moonves
will move in front center field to take
the first base position with Walus,
Bohr and Smith completing the inner
cordon Paul Swan will stmt behind
the plate but may give way to Zcv
Zawacki before the nine innings are
completed.
Johnny Lockard, a veteran front
the 1829 team, is back in college and
will fill the center field position with
Captain Geoige Hoopes in right and
ICascsak, promising sophomore candi
date in left.
St. Francis fast appealed on the
Lion baseball schedule in 1930, when
the Lions earl led off a 2.1-to-10 tn

celled on account of lain.

although he went down for a nine
count twice at the dynamite punches
of Balash, returned to gain the deci
sion over the Orange freshman in the
concluding minutes of the third round.
Holding a slgiht margin in the first,
Zemurray lost his ground to Balash in
the second round when after a flurry
against the ropes he caught a right
and took n nine count. Shortly af
terwards he again went down through
the ropes to be saved by the bell
