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.
The closely contested welter
weight bout saw Jack Hoffman up
set "Chug" Flock by taking the ag

Al Davis, frosh footballer,
punched his way to a TKO over
Harold Bryant, sophomore fores
ter, in one minute of the first round
to put his class within reaching
distance of the coveted exemption.
Ted Maier postponed the final
victory for the freshmen by label
ing Larry Doyle with the TKO sign
at 1:45.0f the opening round. Doyle
bounced frOm the canvass' swing-,

DeMarino, who wisely stopped the
bout.
The frosh victory was clinched
by the Moriarta victory as the
175-pound Irishman continued' his
string of successes. .
The unlimited battle 'between
Bill Laughlin and Howard Ken

second round by Dr. Griess after
Kendall suffered a cut over his left

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.
