THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Baird, Lewis, Fiore, Stanley, Mall, Cohen, In Tonighfs Bouts Listed as the underdog for the first time in many years, Penn State’s boxing team starts its de fense of the team title of the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Association in Syracuse tonight with six Lion boxers in the first round bouts. ' Seven times since 1924 the Lions have taken the EIBA team title, but only once—in 1927 did they take it in Syracuse, where the tournament has been held five times. State’s sole defending cham pion, Jimmy Lewis, EIBA 165- pound champion, risks his chances for the 155-pound crown against Cornell’s Johnny Clark, present 155-pound titleholder with the odds in favor of the lanky Cornellian. Captain Frank Stanko and Paul Scally, Lion 135-pounder and heavyweight, respectively, are the .only State men who drew byes for the first round. Vic Fiore, the “Fighting Bar ber,” meets Virginia’s Joe Block in the 120-pound preliminaries. Judging by his most recent show ings, Fiore should give a good account of himself against the tough Southerner. At 127, Bill Stanley, a. new comer to the Lion lineup, meets Army’s Henry Halsell. Bobby Baird, recently recovered from an illness which kept him off the Lion card for a week, meets Western Maryland’s Edwin Lewis at 145. Paul “Smokey” Mall, State’s 175-pounder, meets rugged op position in Norman Rathbun of Virginia. Les Cohen boxes in the 165--pound division tonight. With three defending cham pions and one former champ, Syracuse has the edge for the team title this year. Tankmen End Season Against (ornellians At Ithaca Tomorrow Penn State’s varsity mermen wind up their 1941 season to morrow at Ithaca when they bat tle the Big Red tankers in their home pool. The Cornell team that beat the Lions 39-36 last year will be handicapped by the absence of Gene Thorpe, the versatile tank man who snatched three events for the Big Red, the 100, 220, and 440. The graduation of Thorpe has left the Ithacans with-a big hole to fill in the distance events. Lion Captain Bill Kirkpatrick should have little trouble out distancing Dave Williams, whose time in the 50 averages around 24.9. The Cornell tankmen are not without their stars, for diver Ralph Colson has piled up ar. impressive number of points in meets, and Lanman, 440 expert, is always capable of turning in a good time.
