bell ended the fight in Wallace’s
favor.
Sigma Nu’s John Stiemer sur
prised hard-punching Doran Lee,
Alpha Tau Omega, with fast
flicking right hands that packed
a punch that even Lee found
tough to take. Lee, who took ev
erything George Mitchell could
throw in the semi-finals, stopped
a right hook in the first round
last night that slowed him down
for the rest of the fight.
STIEMER SURPRISES
Jumping away from those
explosive bursts of the taller
ATO, Stiemer* reached Lee’s
head with ringing blow.-, that
had Lee clinching in the late
stanzas. Although Lee did most
of the crowding, Stiemer’s abil
ity to beat his man to the punch
payed off in the judges decision.
Slippery and hard to hit Bill
Curtin, Phi Delta Theta, slid
away from the wild sallies of
Jack Long, Sigma Chi, for two
rounds, then sewed up his deci
sion by pounding it out in third
round infighting. Long was the
aggressor but most of his punch
es sailed over Curtin’s head, and
the Phi Delta trickster grit his
teeth and pounded his rights, all
solid hits, for the win, and the
155 crown.
SMART BOXING WINS
Sigma Nu’s other winner. Jack
Weidenman, outpointed Bob
Blum, Phi Epsilon Pi, with
smart boxing through two
rounds, then suffering from a
dangerous cut above the ear, he
forced officials to call the fight.
According to intercollegiate
rules, when a dangerous injury
hampers one of the fighters, the
bout will be called with the man
ahead in points gaining the win.
In other blood-chilling battles
that kept heavy suspense in the
air of Rec hall, Jack Reese, Phi
Delta Theta, exploded to TKO
Tom Lucas, Sigma Nu, after 40
seconds of the third round:
George Kelly, Alpha Chi Sigma,
pounced to a three-round deci
sion win over Emil “Doc” Suda,
Alpha Tau Omega, for the 128-
pound championship; Ed Datz
Phi Gamma Delta, decisioned
Edgar Loy, Alpha Gamma Rho;
independent Jim Maloney out
pointed Bob Briselli; and Ron
Coder, Phi Kappa Sigma, TKO’d
Charley Vitabile, Theta Xi.

First Double Winner
In 1942 Penn State became the
first college to win both the in
door and outdoor IC-4A titles in
the same year.

The Nittany Realm
Competitive spirit, one of the most highly prized qualities in
any athletic performer, rarely brings disaster to its possessor. Yet
that same intense “give-your-all” drive of a Nittany cross-country
and track great, Horace Ashenfelter, came dangerously close to
cutting short his spectacular running career.
As it is, the Collegeville ex-GI will be lost to competition for
at least the first month of the indoor track season.
BROKEN BONE
Reason for all the misfortune is a broken bone in Ash’s right
loot, an injury he is thought to have suffffered during the last stages
of the IC4--A cross-country championships last month.
He gave Rhode Island State’s Bob Black a terrific fight for first
place in the IC4-A’s at New York’s Van Cortlandt park, finishing
second in a tight race.
Although he injured his foot
at that time, Ashenfelter kept
back news of the injury from
members of the coaching staff
because of his desire to compete
for the National Collegiate title
at East Lansing.
The Lion cross-country cap
tain managed to keep pace with
the leaders for the first mile or
two, but the bad foot took its toll
and Ash slipped back to finish a
poor 34th in the NCAA competi
tion. It seemed one of the poorest
performances of his collegiate
career,
But teammate Bob Parsons,
newly-elected captain of the
10-'O '-or- nm n 7''*d
pride that Ash finished as high as
le did at tne
SPRINTED
“He was running on his heel
practically the entire race, and
coming down the stretch, when
the pain must have been terrific,
he practically sprinted to the
finish line to prevent anyone
from overtaking him,” Parsons
said.
“I think the kid cracked the
bone at New York when he tried
to overtake Black in the closing
stages of the IC4-A race,” Coach
Chick Werner commented. “He
made no complaint but I knew
as soon as the NCAA race started that there was something wrong
with his foot.”
Ashenfelter, who hopes to defend his twice-won two-mile title
in the IC4-A indoor games, now has the lower half of his right foot
encased in a plaster cast.
The cast will not be removed until mid-January and it will be
at least a month to six weeks thereafter until he’ll be ready for
competition again.
The injured foot has been progressing nicely and medical
authorities at the College do not believe it will materially affect
his future running career. •
Coming at a time when Werner thinks the bov is nearing his
peak, however, it may take the fine edge from his performances
later this year both in indoor and outdoor track.
Ashenfelter holds indoor and outrloo- two-rrvH TC4-A titles and
was runnerup' last year and this year in the IC4-A cross-country
championships. He also finished second in last year’s NCAA cross-
Hurdler Gehrdes to Compete
In Sugar Bowl Tournament
Penn State’s outstanding hurd

The tournament, held every
