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.

It would take a good many rows
of telephone poles
to carry 2-100 separate wires.
But pack them all
into one cable like this
and one pole line
can carry the load
at much lower cost
and with less danger
of damage from storm
and sleet.
Oevelopments like this
have helped enormously
to keep telephone service
fast and dependable
and low in cost.
