Three Lion boxers who turned in
undefeated records this season and
fought their way to Eastern Intercol
legiate titles received recognition on
Coach Leo Houck's all-time Penn
State boxing team selected for the
COLLEGIAN.
Both Captain Davey Stoop and Al
Len is, collegiate champions In the
115 and 145-pound divisions respec
tively, were renamed to the team
where they were first placed by Coach
Houck last year. Johnny McAn
drew, captain-elect and newly crown
ed 115-pound champion, is the newest
addition and replaces Wert, who gain
ed the champion4hip m 1924 and pilot
ed the Lions in 1925.
Julie Epstein, 115-pound champion
in 1929 and captain last year, was
named to the other honorary berth
in the lighter divisions Allie Wolff
'29, twice holder of the middleweight
crown and one of the most brilliant
Ipeifotmers for the Lions, received the
I post at 160 pounds Frank, who
I turned in victories for Penn State
when boxing was still quite young,
was selected for the 175-pound post.

class which in recent years has been
much maligned by collegiate boxing
authorities.
Captain Davey Stoop gains his po
sition with an almost unblemished
lecoid. In 1930 he turned in four
victories and lost to Fitzgerald, Navy
champion, after an extra round.l
Rose, of Syracuse, also penetrated the
Lion boxer in that season, but no brie,
could stop him from gaining the 115- ,
pound intercollegiate championships
that year Last year Stoop fought in
the 115 and 1"-5-pound class at differ
ent tones to solve difficulties where
two champions, Epstein and himself,
were both fitted for the same division.
Fighting 115 pounds, Davey wen two
bouts. He dress two, one ,:t°; Wer
theimer of Syracuse, and ;von two
when he boxed 125-pounds. In the

rcwon his 115-pound title of two years
ogo practically unchallenged.
Undefeated This Season
Not compiling an especially impres
sive record last year, Johnny Mc-
Andrews nevertheless acquitted him
self nobly against some of the best
135-pounders in the history of Lion
opponents. Johnny eliminated Fisher
of West Virginia in his first meet but
lost to Crosby, of Western Maryland,
intercollegiate champion Captain
Goodridge, North Carolina University
star, and Captain Wallace, of Navy,
also secured hard-earned decisions
from McAndrews, then only a sopho
more on the Lion team.
Johnny then defeated Brown, of
Army, and Wolanin, of Syracuse, be
fore again falling at the gloves of
Crosby in the preliminaries of the in
tereollegiates This year he went un
'defeated through the dual season and
the Intercoßeguiles.
In 1930 Al Lewis won seven fights
but lost to Hall, of Navy, for the In
tercollegiate title when the referee
stopped the fight because of a cut
over Lewis' eye. Last year he drew
with Hall and then defeated bins to
um the welterweight title alter a
string of seven victories in dual
meets. Tins year Louis repeated his
undefeated season and his search to
the ranks of the Eistern Intercol
legiate boxing chtimpions.
