Y., May 9 Billy Soose, the Penn State lad who left college to seek fame in the ring, accomplished tonight what no other college fighter had ever done before by pounding his way to a fifteen round decision and the world's middleweight championship over veteran Ken Overlin. Fourteen thousand fans jammed Madison Square Garden to see the title exchange hands. It took a furious last round finish to give the erstwhile Nit tany Lion boxer the coveted crown which has been his goal in three years of profession cam paigning. Held even by the cagy champion for fourteen rounds, Soose came out fast in the final three minutes, pounding Overlin all over the ring in a desperate attempt for a knockout. The fading ex-marine held on till the bell but the tremendous edge gained by the Farrell boy proved the deciding point of the hard fought bout. The crowd never sat down during the story book finish and pandemonium broke loose when the announcer declared Soose the winner and new champion. Overlin came out fast in the.t first round, using his left to good advantage. After a short ex change of blows, the champion ended the round with a hard left and right to the body. The chall enger, boxing beautifully, ap peared to hold a slight edge in the,next three rounds holding off Overlin who was trying to land a knockout blow. The next four rounds found Soose doing most of the advan cing but the titleholder's very deceiving crowding style appear ed to baffle his oppenent and he beat the lanky challenger to punch time after time. • The tide of the titanic struggle was turned by Soose in the ninth and tenth rounds when he sud denly switched from boxer to slugger to completely outfight Overlin. The latter's : knees buckled several times but he weathered the furious attack without hitting the floor.

The Nittany stickmen, who won their first game of the year last Saturday from Lehigh, will be facing a team in Penn which has not won an intercollegiate game this season. Closest thing to a victory for the Quakers was a triumph over Penn A. C. la crosse outfit in a practice session. In previous encounters with Penn, the Nittanymen have nearly always come out on top. Since Nick Thiel has been coach in gthe State stickmen, the Lions have won five games and dropped one—last year by a close 6-5 score. Coach Nick Thiel will start virtually the same lineup against the Quakers that began in the Lehigh fracas. THE FIRST NATIONAL 13/ .
