Waynesburg Takes Four
Waynesburg High School lifted
the PIAA. wrestling crown from
the head of Clearfield High School
Saturday afternoon in Rec Hall,
breaking the perennial winning
streak the Clea Wielders have en
joyed in the mythical team title
race for the past few years.
Five of Coach Leo Houck’s best boxers leave State Col
lege tonight at 7 p. m., bound for the National Inter-collegiate
JJoxing Tournament to be held on the campus of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis.,, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday.

Ponn State’s chances of placing high in the tournament
were raised yesterday when it was made known that the box
ing team from Syracuse University, winners of the Eastern
Tnter-collegiates in Syracuse several weeks ago, would not
be entered in the Nationals. Syracuse lost the largest part of
their team to the Army immediately after the Inter-col
legia tes. '
The chief obstacle in the Lion’s path at the tournament
will be the Battling Badgers from the University of Wiscon
sin. who defeated the Lions in Ree Hall on March 19 by the
close score of 414-314. The final bout between Frankie Ilaw
rylak ,and Badger Verdayne John decided,the 314-31/4 tie.
The Badgers will be the only team to enter a complete team
this week. Present national champs in the Badger lineup in
clude Cliff Lutz in the 155 lb. class and George Makris in the
175 lb. class.
Jackie Grey, winner of the East
ern Intercollegiate Boxing crown
at 121 pounds earlier this month
is entering the Nationals with a
good chance to take the feather
weight crown. Grey lost a close
bout to Wisconsin’s Jackie Gibson
in the Badger- meet, but he is
definitely a mucin improved fighter
and should be at top speed.
Glenn Hawthorne, possessor of
a hard : left hand and good boxing
skill, is scheduled to enter the
ring as* the Lions choice for 127
lb. honors. ... * ..
. Jackie Tighe in the 145 lb. di
wsidn-is the ; Lion’s most promis-j
ing entry.’’Although. Jack lost out
in The finals at Syracuse, he has
improved immensely in workouts
the last months. In the Wisconsin
matches, he ; defeated Badger- Don
Miller in an easy fight .
. Lion Captain Billy ; Richards
will be the Lion choice in the 155
lb. class; With a little luck in
drawing his opponents, Richards
should get at least as far as the
semi-finals or even the finals.
. Heavyweight. Franklie Hawry
lak will complete the Lion five
man squad making the Madison
trip. Frankie is. the type of fighter
that likes to stand up and slug it
out. Loser by only a few points to
Verdayne John in the Wisconsin
matches, Frankie is sure that he
can defeat the Badger boy in a
return fight.
