versity boxing coach, said ,today
he would be without the services
of his 130-pound ace, Vinnie
Byrne, for the 24th annual In

title tournament here tomorrow
night and Saturday.
Byrne suffered a cut in the
third round of his fight with Lion
Glenn Hawthorne and was forced
to retire from the team when it
refused to heal.
Hawthorne's chances of taking
the 130-pound title improved with
the notice from Simmons. Only
.stumbling block for the Lion ap

Virginia, undefeated in dual meet

one-point decision to Miragliotta
earlier in the season.
Byrne's loss seriously affects
Syracuse's chances of winning its
seventh team title, and elevates
Virginia into the role of favorite
for 1947 7 team honors. The Cava
liers boast three unbeaten per
formers.
Virginia's prospective ch a in
pions, all undefeated in eight
dual meets, are Basil Miragliotta,
