Scally Scores KO In 2 Rounds (Continued from Page One) 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.
