K Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'- clock, over a score of Penn State's adopted men of the fighting for ces will crawl through the ropes at Rec Hall to slug it out with each other for a place in the final leg of the All - Service boxing tourney, slated for August' 28. Today at 4:30, the Navy, Ma rines, ASTP, and advanced ROTC trainees will battle for first team honors among themselves, since each group has entered several men for many of the weight classes, These eliminations will . be held in Rec Hall under the sup-. ervision of each of the service managers, headed by mitt coach. Leo Houck, who laid the founda lion of the show with collabor ation from Lieuetenant Thomas Coleman of the Navy, and Cap lain Charles Prosser, currently attached to the Penn State mill tary department. Starting time for tomorrow's semi-finals was set back one hour, due to men of the Navy and Ma rives being innoculated for ty phoid fever at the same time. Houck reminded regular students that although the bouts are being sponsored for the armed forces, anyone may attend. free of charge. Each section of Rec Hall Will be marked off for the various services, to insure a centered cheering section. There is also a possibility that the new Navy- Marine band will be part of the bluejacket-leatherneck gathering. All Naval, Marine, and Army officers stationed at the College will have ringside seats reserved for them at tomorrow's bouts, and for the finals next week. Non coms on the Army staff, as well Marines - and Navy men attached to the ship's company will have special seats reserved for them Houck has specified use of eith er 12 or 16-ounce gloves for the tourney, thus guarding the corn batants against serious cuts or bruises. There will be three rounds of one and one-half min utes duration, but any fight may end at the decision of the referee, if competition is decidedly over balanced, This boxing show is the first in a series of sporting' events de signed: as part of the military conditioning course outlined for Men stationed - here for 'advanced college training. In following weeks, tennis and golf tourney:: will be latinched, and officials have just ended' a Navy-Marine swimming test at Glennland'pook.
