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. .

120-pound class: Grey, PS, de

Pill Jinx, 34-30
One-half of a double jinx was
broken by Penn State's varsity
basketeers over the weekend
when they split even in their court
wars with West Virginia and
Pittsburgh.
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.
