THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Hoffman and Fardella TKO's Highlight BOuts By DICK STEBBINS Jack Grey, Jess Fardella, Hom er Hoffman, Ernie George con tributed victories in Rec Hall Saturday night when the varsity boxing team heralded in Cqaph Leo Houck's 20th year as fistic mentor at State with a 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 win over Western Maryland. The match was "greenness pitted against inexperience," for the . HoUckmen, with the exep tion of Richards and Hoffman, were untried and the Western Maryland team was made up of all sophomores except for Cap tain Baker. Homer Hoffman and Jess Far— della were impressive in their victories by both scoring TKO's in the second rounds of their bouts. Hoffman, in the 135 pound class, sent a continual flurry of 'lefts and rights to the face of Frank Faughman from the first bell. Weakened by terrific left jabs, Faughman was floored by an uppercut lust before the bell ended the first round. It was just a matter of 50 seconds in the sec ond round when Hoffman admin istered the finishing touches. Jess Fardella just kept "pecking away" with left hand body blows during the first round of his bout with Frank Zeigler and then switched his attack to the face with rights. His opponent's face was carmin when the bout was stopped in one minute-forty eight seconds of the second round •of the 127 pound match. Ernie George admirably . re placed Captain Bob Baird in the 145 pound class when he gained a decision over Howard Hall by virtue of a strong third round comeback. The match was very close and George had trouble in penetrating the weaving style of attack with his powerful left hand. Jack Grey was outreach i by his opponent John Alexander the 120 pound tilt, but he weak ened him with right jabs to the midsection arid crossed -lefts to his head that spelled defeat for the Marylander. Probably the most disappoint ing bout of the night was the Bill Richards-Charles Godwin draw. Both men started fast and the 5,000 fans howled as they mixed is up during the first two rounds. The fight was very close and both boys were dead tired when the bell ended the match. In the liability colum, however, Bob Halpin was KO'ed in 56 sec onds of the second round by Sig Jensen who scored 3 knockouts on last year's frosh team. Jenson was in bad shape early in the round from a body blow in a clinch but came back to floor Halpin just before the bell: Only seconds elapsed before Halpin was knocked through the ropes.-- Carlo Ortenzi; whose brother Tony captured the EIBA cham pionship in 1938, floored his pdrt side opponent Joe McCormick early in the initial round and repeated the act with more emphasis after one minute and ten second§ had elapsed to win by a KO. .

After suffering one of the worst defeats on record on Friday night when they were decisively troun ced by the West Virginia Moun taineers 58-33, the Nittany pass ers suddenly hit their stride' and took advantage of a desp,erate last-half rally to defeat the fey ored - Panthers at Pitt Stadium, 34-30, Saturday night. The unbroken half of the jinx was credited to West Virginia, which still held its spell over vis iting Penn State quintets. The 58 point total scored by the Moun taineers was the highest ever tallied against a Lion team coach ed by John Lawther. The second highest, 54, and the third highest, 51, have also been administered by .West Virginia—and all three times these high point records occurred on the Mountaineers' floor. The spell that was broken came about at Pittsburgh Saturday night when the Lions won their second triumph in six •years at Pitt Stadium. The only other triumph was in 1939 when the Nittanymen upset the Panthers, 41-22. Elmer Gross was top scorer for the Lions in both weekend en counters. Against West Virginia, he registered 12 points, while at Pittsburgh he tallied 11.
