If you’re attending the NCAA bouts this weekend, you're prob
ably most interested in the actual warfare which goes on inside the
squared circle, and we don't blame you. because that’s what you're
paying for.
3u* on the sidelines, and in the dressing roms. there’s a group
of guys as great as the mitt-flingers you see crawling through the
ropes. They're the coaches of the NCAA, and they're here for bus-
iness, too,
Take for instance, Leo Houck, Penn State's pride and joy, whose
boys may not be faring too well in their fistic encounters, but who
himself is as rabid a fan for this leather business as you'll ever .find.
Leo. today at a coaches meeting, will propose that the NCAA
mentors offer their services to the United States government in
planning and sponsoring boxing programs in the nation's Army
camps. The good Doctor Houck is, by the way, president of the Na
tional Collegiate Boxing Coaches Association.
A resolution of this type, backed by the NCAA, would be defin
itely a feather in intercollegiate boxing’s hat. And intercollegiate
boxing, believe it or not, can use a few feathers in its bonnet, even
though the tournament now in progress is a decided spur in its
favor.
One more thipg is on the Doctor’s mind. Saturday morning he
will go before the rules committee on the NCAA and ask that the
rule which knocked Billy Mazzocco out.of intercollegiate fistic war
fare be repealed. It was at Houck’s suggestion that the rule was
adopted several years ago.
So far as we know, the only college which has been found guilty
since the rule was enacted has been Penn State! And the good Doc
tor is sick of seeing some of the other getting away with almost pro
fssional members on their teams.
As the rule is stated, it is almost up to the individual college to
enforce it. Penn State has complied with the law. We could name
others, now entered in the present tournament, who have broken
it beyond any stretch of the imagination.
If Leo Houck, who has the college game down deep in his fight
ing heart, wants the rule rescinded, we think it must be for the best.
Other coaches must feel the same' way.
They’re the coaches who are working along the sideline, in the
dressing rooms, to make intercollegiate boxing a sport, not a racket.

Handicapped by lack of prac
tice ice. the hockey men have
had' daily conditioning sessions
in Rec Hall. The nearest ice
rink, at which the Lions played
all "home” games, is the Schaef
fer Ice , Palace at Johnstown.
With the exception of the
goalie position, usually filled by
Larry- Lightbody, but now filled
by Wayne Bitner because of
Lightbody’s illness, the lineup
probably will remain unchang
ed.
Cancelled Tuffs Match
Delays Tennis Opener
A recent announcement from
Tufts cancelling their match
with State’s tennis team on
April 5, gives the Lion racquet
wielders two additional weeks
to prepare for their first compe
tition with the West: Poiht Ca
dets here on April 19.
According to Coacli Ted
Roethke, the team is better bal
anced than last, year’s aggrega
tion, but this year’s schedule is
tougher. Taking these factors
into account. Roethke predicted
yesterday, "if we break even
this year, we’ll have a good
season.”
The team is stressing a more
aggressive type of game which
means taking the net more of
ten. Last year the team put
more emphasis on doubles play
ing. and the results it brought
in several matches makes it ad
\ iseable to repeat the same
practice this season.
As for State's schedule.
Roethke can see no soft spots
'■’.i it at all. with Pittsburgh and
Gettysburg rated as the two
weakest opponents
