THE DAILY COLLEGIAN By PAT NAGELBERG The story of the Farrell fight er, familiar to every Penn State sports fan, reads like a Horatio Alger tale. After leaving college in 1938 with a record of thirteen straight knockouts, Billy cast his lot in professional ranks and be gan the rough climb up the fistic ladder of fame. Brittle hands handicapped him at times when he appeared ready to -hit the top and when he lost his second fight to Georgie Abrams in Pittsburgh last spring, boxing experts were ready to write Soose's obituary. But de fying the old adage that they neveryeturn to the ring, tonight's challenger made one of the great est comebacks in recent athletic history. Matched with Overlin in a non-title fight in Scranton last summer merely to provide the champion with a tune-up bout, Soose pulled an upset to eke out a controversial victory. He fol lowed this up with a decisive win in Chicago over Tony Zale, re cognized National Boxing Associ ation champion, and New York opened welcome though rather skeptic eyes. The Broadway crowd has never taken to college bred fighters. But in his metropolitan debut, -Billy trounced New York's own Tami Mauriello and twice brush ed aside up and coming Ernie Vigh in his last two appearances. Mike Jacobs could no longer deny Soose a crack at Overlin's coveted crown and tonight's fif teen rounder marks the end of a long trail for the Pennsylvania steelworker's son. The fight should be doubly in teresting because of the bad feel ing existing between the two camps. .overlin insisted on a clause in the contract giving him or his stablemate, Abrams, a re turn shot at Soose should he win the championship. It will be a contest between a battle-scarred veteran who' knows all the tricks of his pro fession and a clean fighting box er with a lightning-fast left and a punch in either hand. The fight should be close and go the full limit limit but Soose is on his way up and will be hard to stop. Tonight might find the first collegiate boxer occupying a world's championship. lion Trackmenj.eave Today For Army Meet Minus the services of field eventer, Frank Platt, distance man Jim Williams, and Captain Van Hartman, 25 Nittany Lion trackmen will leave today for their second . dual meet of the season to be held orr the West ,Point cinders tomorrow after noon. • The spike-clad Cadets recently displayed their prowess by win ning a quadrangular meet with < lowa, Dartmouth, and Columbia.
