PAGE SIX Baird TK0 7 s First Foe Wrestlers Draw In NCAA Boxing Opener lK4A Brackeh Meets Schofi Today In Main Attraction Special to The Collegian BATON ROUGE, La., March 26 —Captain Bob Baird TKOed A 1 Ansorage in one minute, twenty seven seconds of the first round to climb into the second flight of the twentieth annual National Collegiate, boxing tourney held here last night. Ansorage proved no match for the Nittany master who tallied with a sefies of head-rocking punches soon after the round started. The referee stopped the lone Penn State . representative from inflicting any. more damage on ,his less experienced foe be fore he was really warmed up. Baird’s victory im the opening day of fighting gave him the long hoped-for opportunity to tangle with Loren Schoff of Syracuse once again. The veteran punch ers will meet for the sixth, and last time, in their college careers in a matinee attraction that should be one of the feature bouts of the tourney. The victor will probably be conceded an odd-on favorite to advance into the final bracket and a possible winner of the 145-pound title. The Schoff-Baird feud started in 1940 when the Orange captain won a close decision. Schoff also proved victorious in the' follow ing three engagement against the Lion pride. Baird scored his in itiali, win over the Syracusian -When he decisively outpunched him in the EIBA meet this year. '• After licking Schoff, Baird proved his superiority over two other contestants and was crown ed the new 145 champ. The Lion king._.was . heralded as the “talk of the tournament” when he smashed the experts" predictions by copping the crown and may duplicate the feat in the Nationals this weekend if he gets by Schoff today.

Heppenstal, Alf Landon, William Seabrook, Newton D. Baker, and Calvin Coolidge. IF weekend will be cause for the annual celebration between Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi. The two fraternities were united in purpose when they were in the early stages of formation at Jefferson College, now known as Washington and Jefferson.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN With the drawing of bracket positions for the NCAA wrestling tourney made this morning, Penn State’s four entrants in the nation al mat championships at Michigan State will begin a two-day grind in an effort to “bring one back for Charlie.” Although Coach Charlie Speidel will be unable to advise his vic tory-hungry Lions in person, the Nittany grapplers have indicated that they will wrestle as though he were on the bench. They hope to send word of at least on£T championship to the new Naval physical instructor at Annapolis. Despite the fact that the EIWA has only been able to average about one national champion a year, it is expected that Penn State’s three Eastern title-holders will hamper western aspirants. Allan Crabtree, 136-pounds, has improved so appreciably in recent workouts and has such an impas sive undefeated dual meet record that he is conceded an equal threat with the titled Lions. Although no notification has been made it is possible that Char lie Ridenour, lightweight; Sam Harry, 128-pounds; and Captain Glen Alexander may be seeded at the drawings this morning. wishes ALL ITS GUESTS AND ALUMNI AN ENJOYABLE Riflemen Leave To Compete InNRAC , The Lion blazers will leave early this morning for Annapolis where they will compete in the National Rifle Association champion ships Saturday afternoon.
