Four Champions Survive First Round Bouts
'44 Mitmen Lost Three,
But Have Good Prospects
For 1942 Varsity Squad
“Just because we lost all three
of our matches this season
doesn’t mean that we don’t have
any good prospects for next
year’s varsity,” stated frosh box
ing coach, Danny DeMarino
when asked about his yearling
mitmen.
The scores of those three
matches although fought by “in
experienced boxers” stand as fol
lows: Syracuse 4V£-State ZVz,
Cornell 6-State 2, and Army 7-
State 1.
Probably the outstanding year
ling fighter was 175-pound Nick
Ranieri, who won two bouts and
was especially impressive against
Syracuse in the home ring.

Fiore’s Conqueror
Ted Kara, Idaho’s 120-pound
national champion, TKOed Penn
State’s Vic Fiore in the second
round of their battle yesterday
to advance to the semi-finals
tonight where he will meet Don
Harper, Southwestern Louisi
ana, over whom he scored a
close decision in their dual meet
this year.

KO In 2 Rounds

punching kept the round close,
however.
In one of the greatest rounds
of the night, Stanley opened up
on the Badger in the third can
to. Both boys stood toe to toe,
slugging it out, hurling hard
rights and lefts. ' Sachtschale’s
battered face and Stanley’s
bleeding nose evidenced the
weight of their dual attack.
Stanley’s decision over the Bad
ger, who was seeded in the
drawings yesterday morning, is
his first in four intercollegiate
matches.
In a slow first round cally—
a Penn State intramural discov
—-held a slight edge over his op
ponent, Shumate of Superior
Teachers (Wis.).
Showing the form which led
him to the first dual victory over
Americo Woyciesjes, Syracuse’s
three-time 175-pound EIBA
champion, Scally opened up in
the second round. The round
had not gone a full minute when
Scally dropped Shumate with a
terrific right hook to the chin,
The official time was 0:55 of the
second round.
Jimmy Lewis, State’s greatest
hope for a national finalist, turn
ed in one of the finest bouts in
his collegiate career, only to lose
to Rod Belaire, LSU 155-pounder,
who is undefeated this year and
won the Southeastern Conference
title in 1940.
The two fighters started off in
a fast first round and continued
at a fairly even pace into the
second round. Lewis counted
heavily with left hooks to Bel
aire’s midriff and head. Both box
ers pouhded hard at each others
midsection in a furious infighting
session.
Captain Frank “Red” Stanko
closed his collegiate career in a
close fight with Les Coffman,
Washington State runner-up for
the 135-pound title at the 1940
nationals at Sacramento Cal.
After a slow first round in -
which neither boxer scored im
pressively. Stanko picked up
and landed hard rights and sting
ing left hoks to Coffman’s head.
Coffman was swinging wildly |
during the first and second
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
rounds, but was unable to con
nect any damaging blows with
Stanko.
In the third round, Coffman
found himself and scored several
long haymakers to the Lion cap
tain’s head. Dazed, Stanko was
unable to keep up the grueling
pace he had set and Cofman was
awarded the close decision.
Vic Fiore and Les Cohen both
were eliminated in the second
round of their quarter-final bouts
against two defending cham
pions.
Fiore managed to keep Ted
Kara, Idaho’s champion seeking
his third national title, away in
the first round of their 120 bat
tle. Kara opened up his heavy
artillery in the second and scored
heavily with his left. A stiff left
to Fiore’s mid-section knocked
all the wind—and fight—out of
the Lion boxer. Referee Charlie
Short calle dthe bout at 1:10.
Displaying an aggressive spirit
which he has lacked all season,
Cohen clearly carried the fight to
Ihadho’s defending 165-pound
king, Laune Erickson in. te first
round of their battle. Erickson
was visibly hurt by Cohen’s hard
rights, and was unable to retali
ate in the first stanza.
The second round told a dif
ferent story, however, as Erick
son came back with the hard left
jabs for which he is famous. Re
peated solid blows to Cohen’s
head forced Referee Short to
stop the fight at 1:42 of the sec
ond.

SWI, LSU Are
Leading Teams
(Continued from Page One)
other Eastern fighters to move
into the semi-finals were the
Penn State representatives.
With two defending champions
among its three surviving entries,
Idaho remained a possibility to
cop the team championship it
held last.year. By the end of the
quarter-finals, the team battle
had resolved into a struggle be
tween the South and West, with
Idaho facing its strongest threats
in Southwestern Louisiana, Lou
isiana State, and Wisconsin.
As the seventh annual tourney
got underway at 2 o’clock there
were barely 1,000 people in the
stands but the night-time crowd
approximately. 3,000.
The biggest surprise of . the
afternoon’s boxing, which ran
pretty much to form, was the
elimination of all three Wisconsin
participants. The Badgeri sent an
eight-man team and were expect
ed to do well. Their biggest dis
appointment was in the heavy
weight class where Verdayne
John lost to Cameron of Miami
despite a third-round comeback
that brought the crowd to its feet.
The .heavyweight class shaped
up according to expectations as
the prize of the tournament with
four heavy-fisted Southerners
led by Big Herb Kendrick of LSU
surviving for tonights’ semi-fin
als. Kendrick ,runner up to Nick
Lee last year, kayoed Lock Hav
en’s Campbell in 1:44 of the seer
ond round. Tonight Big Herb
faces Gates Kimball, North Car
olina star who is 'undefeated in
dual meets for two years and
former Pacific fleet champion.
