Cavaliers Top
Mittmen, 4%-3%
Both Score 3 Victories;
Unlimited Bout Forfeited
Although Coach Leo Houck
started two aces-in-the-hole, both
of whom were successful, the
University of Virginia’s Orange
and Black clad boxing team nev
ertheless punched out its fourth
straight dual meet decision of the
current season and its second
414-i3 Vz triumph over the Nittany
Lions in Recreation Hall Saturday
night.
The Lion's walked off the-floqr
feeling that they had at least
earned a 4-4 tie, asi the bout be
tween hard-hitting Stan Lachow
ski and the Cavalier captain,
“Chuck” Pomato, was a question
able draw. Lachowski, the . ex
marine, ■ who defeated the Cava
lier at Virginia, had to contend
with the cagey, rushing veteran
who was set to make a battle of
it, win or lose.
Throughout the slugfest, the
Lion battler matched his oppon
ent blow for blow and in the last
few seconds of the second round
had him .groggy from hard rights
to' the body. The Cavalier, how
ever, made a strong return in the
last' round and. through his ag
gressiveness . received the drawl
’• Coach'Houck’s.bpening ace was
in the lightweight class where he
started ’42 Lion Jim Cassidy in
place of Captain Paul Smith. Due
to a sprained wrist, Jim Worth
ington,. the " Cavalier lightweight,
gave way to Francisco Castro.
The second ace was in the 155-
pound class where Houck started
“Buzz” Fahringer against, a Cav
alier - newcomer, Roland Fitzpat
rick. Both southpaws, the bout
was a close one throughout,' but
the Lipn received the pod because
of cleaner blows and a tighter de
fense.
Shifty Nick Ranieri provided a
will-o-the-wisp for his opponent
for three rounds. The Cavalier
missed so many lefts and rights
ajimed at the* elusive Lion that it
became monotonous. Ranieri
cjopped. hi's second/ decision: from
the Cavalier.
