Chuck Drazenovich Refuses
NCAA Tourney Invitation
The Lions' hopes for a national
boxing champion this season re
ceived a severe setback when the
Nittany heavyweight, Chuck Dra
zenovich, informed Coach Leo
Houck that he would be unable
to compete in the National Col
legiate Athletic Association box
ing tourney at Wisconsin next
month.
Recently crowned Eastern
heavyweight boxing king, Dra
zenovich stated that he thought
he lacked sufficient experience to
compete against the country's
best collegiate boxers.
Drazenovich said: "I don't think
I'm good enough to win the Na
tionals, and besides that, I have
too much studying to do. I'd have
to leave Wednesday and would
n't get back until Sunday night.
I'd get way behind in my work."
Lion boxing enthusiasts tried
to urge Chuck to go to the Na
tionals. If he won they said he
would get a chance to try out
for the U. S. Olympic boxing
team. To this Drazenovich an
swered:
"I don't think I would have a
chance to make it. I'm playing it
smart, just like a poker player—
he quits when he is ahead. Well,
that's what I'm doing. I'm hang
ing up thin gloves while I'm
UP FROM THE RANKS
To ORGANIZE, PLAN, AND DIRECT the telephone busi.l
ness—a business with its roots in so many
communities throughout the state—hundreds of
men and women, skilled in the complexities of
telephone work, are required.
It is these men and women—telephone employees
at various stages of their eareers----who, side by
side with all employees, accept the responsibility
of providing you with good telephone service at
low cost.
"Up from the ranks" is a familiar phrase to tele
phone people, for each of them knows that the op
portunity to assume ►core and more responsibilities
is open to all and that those who come up from the
ranks earn, by their own abilities, the rewards of
promotion for good work well done.

ahead. I don't even think I'll box
next year."
With Drazenovich out of the
picture, Johnny Benglian will
carry the Lion's hopes for a Na
tional boxing crown. The game
southpaw 130-pounder will com
pete in the 127-pound class since
the National tourney this year
will observe the Olympic weight
classes.
Said Benglian, "I feel that I
have a good chance. I believe
Virginia's 'Bat' Masterson is one
of the best boxers competing in
my weight at the present time but
he won't box in the Nationale'
(Masterson, the present 134)-pound
EIBA champ, will be unable to
compete because of a freshman
ineligibility rule.)
Diminutive Freddie Smith, Lion
125-pounder in regular dual meet
competition, will compete in the
112-pound class. Bob Keller, Lion
165-pounder, will be the Baal
Lion entry in the Nationals.
Nittany Lion tra c k coach,
Charles (Chick) Werner, is a
former University of Illinois
hurdler.
Gerry Karver, Nittamy Lion
National outdoor mile champion,
began his schoolboy career as a
high jumper.
