Outstanding victory for • the '45 pugilists was the TKO scored by' Web Moriarta, as he floored Hal Calvert with a terrific right hand wallop at 38 seconds of the first round in the 175-pound scrap. Jack Grey, sophomore class pres ident, 'Started the '44 squad off with a victory in a closely contest ed bout with Cy Ivory, intramural finalist in the 120-pound class. Following this bout, the fresh men stepped out to a commanding lead of four to one as Hawthorne, Graf, Hoffman, and Davis scored victories over Walsh, Fardella, Flock, and Bryant, sophomore re presentatives. Hawthorne was the aggressor throughout his fight and won a unanimous victory over the south paw. Johnny Graf won the "bout of veterans" when he outpointed his experienced rival, Jess Far della.

Tough Life Fails To KO Pugilists A story about the 1942 Penn State boxing squad is one of sacri fice, perspiration, and perserver ance for the cotnestants must con tend with tough curriculas, lack of pre-college experience, and irregu lar training hours due to the time consumed in working for meals or as leaders in College activities. Few of the men have had any pre-college ' boxing training as is exemplified 'by Homer Hoffman and Iry Jontow. 'Hoffman made his ring debut in the "spacious gym" at Mont Alto while Jontow put gloves .on first in the •1940 in tramurals. A victim of close de cisions in the top flight bouts, Jon tow has trained hard this season for a varsity spot. Jack Grey, sophomore class pres ident, is working for his board, devoting time to politics, and re taining a high College average, but may be found training diligently in Hoc Hall every day. Another class officer, Bob Baird took time out from his post as All-College presi dent to don the gloves for the Nit tanymen last season and is expect ed to make a repeat performance this year. Bill Knauff, sophomore chemi cal engineering, is pushing Grey in the 120-pound class and still re taining above-average grades. Knauff weighed 98 pounds last year when he won his laurels on the frosh team and tips the scale at only 115 now.
