Collegiate Boxing Started By Lions Penn State's boxing team, who will meet University of Virginia in the opening of a doubleheader in Bec Hall Saturday night, can bOast of being the oldest sponsor of intercollegiate boxing. The Penn State team of 1919 is sued a challenge to the University of. Pennsylvania for a meet to be held in . Philadelphia: and which was entered in the records as the first regularly scheduled meeting of two collegiate boxing teams: Unfortunately, the Lions lost the tussle, 4-2. When boxing continued . to spread throughout the country the NCAA approve a- a set of gov erning laws and in 1921 the Inter collegiate Boking Association was formed. Penn State was a char ter member along with Pennsyl vania, Navy, and MIT. In 1924, the first IBA tourney was held and State College was the chosn site. Penn State won that first champion Ship and has taken six since. The Nittany mentor, Leo Houck, is the last survivor of the old time "big three" of intercollegiate box ing coaching. Virginia's Johnny Laßowe died last year and was succeeded by his best pupil, Al York. H. "Spike" Webb is still at Navy but is no longer coach ing the pugilists in intercollegiate boxing. The Lion . coach, who was born in Lancaster, came into inter collegiate boxing from the pro fessional ring. A little more than a decade ago •he was one of the world's greatest middleweights. He defeated George Chip and Jimmy Wilson before they won their championships but wEis nev er able to get a rematch with them for the title. As a light-heavy he appeared in two no-decision bouts against Gene Tunney. The first boxing coach at Penn State was Dick Harlow, now head football coach at Harvard. Houck came to the campus in 1923 when Harlow moved to Western Mary land.
