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

Today at 4:30, the Navy, Ma

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
