Penn State’s varsity "boxing season ended last Saturday night
•with the Wisconsin matches, but five of Coach Leo Houck’s proteges
are still working out every afternoon in their Rec Hall headquarters
.preparing for the coming National Collegiate Boxing Tournament
to be held at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wis., March 26
aid 27. Leo has chosen EIBA Champ Jackie Grey, Glenn Hawthorne,
Jack Tighe, Captain Billy Richards, and Frankie Hawrylak to make
the trip. -f-
■ Last year Leo sent only one man
to the Tourney, held in Baton
Rouge, La. Captain Bobby Baird,
finished second to Champ
Warren Jollymore, Badger from
Wisconsin.
i This year the Lion coac has had
a mediocre season in dual meets,
winning two, losing ..two, and
drawing' two. But in the Eastern
,Inlercollegiates two weeks ago,
the Lion mittmen showed consid
reable. strength. Even against the
Wisconsin Badgers, rated by most
sports outhorities as the oulsand
ing collegiate boxing combination
in the country, the Lion’s made an
•impressive sowing by staying on
.an even keel with the favorites
,up until the final round.
The Lions are picked to place
•at least within the top three along
: with Wisconsin and Syracuse,
.winner of EIBA team crown, for
.team honors. The Lions are in
■better shape now than they have
been all season. With Jackie Grey
happily married for almost a
month and all honeymoon excite
;ment over,-.he is picked to finish
.first or second. Jack is hoping to
.draw Jackie Gibson of Wisconsin,
who defeated him by a close de
cision last week.
- Glenn Hawthorne, in the 127
.p.ound class, with just a little luck
should place well up in the finals.
.Glenn has a good left and has been
improving with every .fight.. Cap
tain Billy Richards will probably
,run. up aginst National Champ
. CUff ; Lutz, with whom he made
■ an excellent showing last week
-eifd:
Jackie Tighe, one of the best;
looking fighters on the team, will
wear the Lion colors in the 145
pound ciass. With a little more of
that “luck stuff," -in drawing for
opponents. Jack 100, should finish
well iii the running.
Frankie Hawrylak will flight in
the heavyweight division. Frankie,
like Jackie Grey, hopes that he
will draw his last-week’s oppon
ent* • Verdayne John. Hawrylak
might have scored a KO in the
third round last week if he had
followed through at the right
time.
Carl P. Shott, 'dean of 'the phys
edders, who is also a’member of
the NBA rule's committee, will ac
company the puglists to Madison.
Leo received a note yesterday
from. A 1 Ccfllins, the manager of
the 1927 Penn State boxing team
along with following clipping
clipping from the War Sports 25
Years Ago column in the Boston
Herald:
Leo Houck, Lancaster. Pa„ mid
dleweight, defeats Johnny Wilson
of New York in a hard 12-round
fight at the Durham A. C.
It brought back fond memories
to the Lion coach, who has lived
boxing all his life. Leo says that
it was the first time that he has
heard fromm Collins since he grad
uated.
