According to Webster, "unorthodox" is defined as not conform
ing to a standard, or unconventional. No other word better describes
the left jabbing, uppercutting ringmanship that the Lions' hard
hitting 165-pounder, Paul Smith, displays.
"PQ," as he is commonly known to his ringinatis's because his
initials are "P. Q." Smith (it stands for peculiar, he says), is a self
styled fighter whose boxing career dates back to when he was eight
years old.
Living on a farm outside of Erie, he received his first pair of
boxing gloves from his father on his eighth birthday. Ever since
then the blond Smith has he

and although he was always at._
letically inclined, varsity basketball during his senior year in high
school was the only organized activity he entered.
After his discharge from the army he enrolled in a pre-vet
erinary course at Penn State but was farmed out to Edinboro State
Teachers College for his freshman year.
Upon arriving in the Nittany 'Valley last year, he immediately
started training for the forthcoming mitt campaign. He dropped his
opening meet against Bucknell's Doug Fleming in a fast moving
165-pound struggle.
"I greatly underestimated collegiate boxers then," says Smith
now. "I wasn't in good enough shape but I still thought that col
legiate boxing wasn't rough. I've changed my mind since."
MOVES UP A WEIGHT CRASS
When Pat Conlon, regular 175-pounder last year, graduated at
mid-term, the lanky "PQ" was moved up a weight class, from 165
pounds to the light-heavy division.
Weighing around 165 pounds all season, he spotted practically
every opponent ten pounds. In one of the toughest weight brackets
last year, the 175-pound class, he met such sluggers as Ralph Shoaf
and Jim Rollier, both 1948 Eastern title holders; Cal Vernon, 175-

NCAA Rule On Cheering
Contained in the official boxing
guide of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association is the follow
ing passage about cheering at box
ing bouts:
"Before the first bout, the ref
eree requires the announcer to ask
the co-operation of the audience in
limiting applause. This is neces
sary to insure that contestants
hear the referee's instructions at
all times.
"Excessive and unauthorized
cheering can be kept at a mini
mum, in most crowds, by the com
bined efforts of the announcer and
the referee. The announcer should
give an inoffensive, yet firm 'Quiet
Please' at the first violation. If this

Short Course in
Instead of scoring each boxing
bout by round s and flashing the
score on the score board after
each round, scoring in EIBA
bouts remains secret until the
winner of the contest is an
nounced.
Another deviation from dual
meet procedure is that in tourna
ment scoring three officials are
used, two judges and one referee
who works in the ring. The trio
of officials alternate, each one
taking his turn in the ring while
the other two act as judges in op
posite corners of the ring.
Each of the' three as in dual
meet scoring, scores each round,
with a maximum of ten points al
lowed to the winning contestant
of the round.
At the end of the bout the
decision of the two judges, and
the referee are relayed to the
