Volume 33—No. 37 Syracuse Boxing Meet TOMOrrOW Gives Lions Year's Hardest Test Richter-Brown Battle Leads Impressive Individual Tilts Team Gains 3rd Win Over Pitt, 51/2-to-21/2 By JERRY WEINSTEIN Eastern boxing supremacy will be forecast tomorrow night when Penn State and Syracuse clash at Recrea tion hall at 7 o'clock. Over 6;000 fans, with extra chairs on the floor to han dle the overflow, are expected to wit ness the event. The Eastern championship Lions, undefeated in three starts, will be facing their toughest opponents of the season and will recei'c their first real test. Syracuse dropped a ques tionable match to Navy last week, 5 to 3. . While team supremacy will be . the most important factor of the battle, individual fights will hold the spot light. 'The lineups dotted with cham pions and impressive newcomers, each ' bout could easily provide the main attraction if held in profegsional circles. Brown-Richter Outstanding The three-year ring rivalry of Jim Brown, of Syracuse, and State's Izzy Richter, plus the fact .that •the two are. among the leading collegiate heavyweights of all-time, makes the final bout on tomorrow's program the feature. - In four encounters, Richter defeat ed Brown twice, lost once, and drew the fourth. All of the battles have been close, with Richter's ring en perience'and speed generally overcom ing Brown's thirty-five pound weight advantage . and: punching power. The 'Eastern'. champion twill probably wikb Itlizie Mee6 Fink Captain Lou Ritzie will face Ord Fink, astern and National cham pion, and Olympic representative, in the 165-pound battle. Ritzie gained a draw and received his first inter collegiate defeat from Fink last sea son. A slugfest is promised in the 145- pound spot when Johnny Mastrella meets State's Eastern champion, Sammy Donato. Mastrolla is known for his strength and punching abil ity, while the rugged Nittany foot ball lad has yet to bow in dual cons- petition. • Syracuse Captain Art. AleGivern will have his hands full when he faces Billy Soose, Lion sophomore 155-pounder. MeGivern, who seems beastiul in the ring, lost to Donato last year after winning the 145- pound crown two years ago. Sense has won all. his intercollegiate tests by knockouts. . • Goodman Faces Test Eastern and National champion Frankie Goodman will face what is probably his toughest opponent of the season in Fred Zucarro, Orange 135- pounder. Goodman, unimpressive win ner in three' fights this season, will have to produce to defedt the aggres sive Zucarro. The veteran Moon Mullins will be the Syracuse 115-pound representa tive and will provide Alex Sopchak's greatest test. -Sophomore Al Tapman will carry State's colors against sophomore Carl Sorenson in the 125 class'in. another close clash, and Nes tor Nociubinsky will meet a veteran in George 'Reagan at 175 pounds. Defeat Pitt Tuesday. With the exception of Donato, who defeated Pitt's Captain Linderman by a ,technical knockout the second round of their 155-pound bout, the Lion boxers were far from impres sive in their . 5 1 / 2 to 2 1 / 2 win over the Panthers Tuesday in Pittsburgh. Sopchak gained a draw against the taller, shoving much of Pitt. Tapman was a improved fight er, looking strong although dropping n decision to the Panther star, Ralph Caruso. With only a week's praCtice, Paul Bachman hadn't enough ,to stop Mike Tanuni's wild rushes, losing !by a decision. Goodman used his left jab to gain an easy decision over Herb Turner. After a great first round, Ritzie be came the target for Ray Bombe's right; Lou piled up enough points with his jab to win. Nociubinsky, hampered by a heavy chest coil], easily knocked Lupinucci around until he tired in the second and third stanzas. The Nittany soph omore gained .a close decision, how ever. Izzy Richter, flashed good form, using hard'lefts and rights, to easily outpoint a Pitt newcomer, Emil Hal ley. Hoffman Expects New Record in 'Enrollment Registrar William S. Hoffman estimated today that second se .mester registration totals will set a new college record • for enroll ment. Thus far 5,152 students have registered. Last semester 5,221 were enrolled, but Hoffman said that returns from the Mont Alto forestry division are not available, and that there will be a minimum enrollment there of 150. Last semester 180 registered at Mont Alto, lie pointed out, making the Tho estimate a modest one. Adding the 150 minimum to the 5,- 152 enrolled here would make a minimum ,second semester ' otal of 5,302 as against last year's 5,229 mark.
