FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1942 Nittany Boxers For Saturday's North Carolina Guns For Another Upset Although only two regulars from last year's well-rounded boxing team have returned for. action this season, Coach Mike Ronman's North' Carolina squad should be fairly strong when they tangle with the Houckmen in Rec 'Hall at 8:30 p. in. tomorrow night. The Tar Heels have yet to chalk up their first victory this year and will be gunning for another upset over the Lions; - They were defeated by Virginia Tech and University of Virginia by 5 to .3' scores and by The Citadel, 5 1 / 2 to 21/2. The Penn Stab. 127-pounder; probably Jess Fardella, is going to have his hands full when he enters the ring against Captain Johnny Johnson. This is John son's 'third season of collegiate boxing. and he is undefeated his three bouts this year. He out pointed his opponents in the first two meets for decisions but was held I to a draw by Williams of The Citadel. , Johnson has greatly improved since he was TKO'ed by "Red" `ptariko when the teams came to griPs last year and has adopted fine footwork along with a weav ing, feinting form. :Milton Harris, although in his .'second year of boxing and who packs a wallop in both hands, will have to be a smooth; polish ed performer if he is to gain a vic tory in the,l3s-pound class over Homer. Hoffman. Harris loit his `first •two 1942 bouts by TKO's but •showed improvement last week when he won handily on a de,cision froth. The Citadel con ' tender.

Hewitt Rosb, seni6r 155-con tender-, made a brilliant showing in nis .first collegiate meet by gaining a TKO over the Virginia Tech aspirant. He missed the first two meets because of sick ness but is rounding into form again for the State trip. The North Carolina 165 and 175 boxers are in their first year of boxing and have yet to gain a vic -tory. Lyman Higdon has lost two 165 bouts and Fred White, 175-pound class, has been defeat ed tnree times on close decisions. White 'has a hard right smash. The largest boxer in Carolina history is Walter Williams who stands 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 248 pounds. He was TKO'ed in his iirst meet 'but scored two im pressive TKO's himself in the Vir ginia and Citadel encounters. Swordsmen Seek First Victory In Navy Series Seeking their first victory in three years of fencing with Navy, the Nittany swordsnien leave today for Annapolis where they will cross blades with the Midshipmen to morrow.

Prepare Tussle * * * VETERAN TAR HEEL—Captain Joiluizy Johnson, senior 127- posznd North Carolina boxer, will be gunning for his fourth straight victory of the season tomorrow night. Lion Five Fears Carnegie Tech "Give them the least smell of victory, and they'll be difficult to defeat," Coach 'John Lawther said last, night• as he_ commented about Carnegie Tech's hapless basketball team, which has won only two games during the past two court seasons. Because of their poor record, the Skibcis have become greatly feared by many top-ranking basketball outfits, which are always expecting Carnegie Tech to pull a startling upset, especially when the latter finds a chance of victory within its grasp. Tomorrow night, Penn State will expose its present four-game win ning streak, when the Lion cagers clash with Carnegie Tech in Pitts burgh. The Tech encounter winds up the seven-game road trip that began for Coach • Lawther's ma chine on January 10 against Amer ican U. During the tour of the East, the Nittanymen have won five out,. of six to bring the season's total to nine victories in 11 starts. Wrestling Squad Leaves For Second Dual Meet With Temple •Tomorrow Riding , the crest of a victory wave, the Nittany _wrestling ex perts leave at noon today f6r the City of Brotherly Loye where they will attempt to repeat the shellack ing they handed Temple in 1936. Coach Charlie Speidel's artists made a clean sweep of all bouts six years ago to carry off an im pressive 30-0 victory . in the only dual meet between, the two col leges. The same line-bp th'at smeared Princeton last week is expected to start at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. For the past week the grapplers have been working in intensive squad competition to determine the entrants. Most impressiye in the 145- pound division has,, been Al Crab tree who last week decisioned his Princeton opponent. Clair Hess, despite his weight disadvantage, will probably again fill the 136- pound slot because of his technical knowledge of the sport.
