Delta Upsilon Secures,
IM Boxing Crown
With Mike Deßone . banging his way to the 165-pound champ
ionship, Delta Upsilon had the intramural boxing championship
safely wrapped up and secured as two furious weeks of legalized
mayhem came to a close before more than -, 2500 in Rec Hall last
night.
Deßone's triumph over Alpha Gamma Rho's Dick Dum only
served to make the margin of
victory larger. Although Harry
Papacharalmbous, the other DU
semi-final entrant, was defeated,
AGR lost its one remaining
chance of overhauling DU when
John Hanby bowed to Jack
Reese, Phi Delta Theta, in the
128-pound title clash.
Delta, Upsilon completed the
season with 105. points. Phi
Itaripa Sigma deadlbcked for
runner-up honors with AGR. both
having 110 points. Phi Delta Theta
took• the number four position
with 75 points, while Sigma Nu,
last year's champion, completed
the top five with 65.
;:CODER, REESE WIN
peßbne scored heavily with
rights and- lefts to the head in
, the first two rounds' against Dum.
He 'started slow, but came back
strong in 'the middle canto with
two lefts and a right to the head
and a jolting left hook. Dum
fought back in the third, but De-
Bone held his own.
Both Ron Coder and Reese,
'champions from \last year's tour
nament, banged their way to vic
tory. Since. IM regulations forbid
a champion to box in the same
'weight class, both had to move
lip one division.
Coder, 175-pound titlist in 1948,
had little difficulty blasting Dal
ton Rumberger, Alpha Zeta, for
'the heavyweight crown. He
started fast, racking Rurnberg
,er's , head, with both hands. He
staggeted Rumberger w i t h a
crushing right uppercut and
straight left to the jaw in the
second and rights and lefts to the
head in the third.
Reeae was . his usual self as he
outboxed and outhit Hanby in
the 128-pound final. Reese scored
consistently with a hard, looping
overhand right and staggered his
man with a booming right to the
head in the third. • , .
Basketball Team Loses
70-63 to Georgetown U
The Nittany Lion lioa'sketeers dropppd their 11th straight away
game over a three-year span Wednesday night as Georgetown romped
to a 70-63 win on its spacious Washington, D.C. court. The loss also
gave the Penn State quintet its first reversal of the season against
one win.
Last night Coach Elmer Gross' underdogs again went into action
with American University in the Eagles' Uline arena
Georgetown riddled Penn'
State's zone-defense in gaining its
fourth straight win; knocking
down quite a •bit of the prestige
the Lions had gained in holding'
Sttsquehanna to only 44 points
last Wednesday. •
Coact! Elmer Gross' . first teani
trailed only by 20-18 at the end of
the first period but at this point
he inserted his second platoon and
the taller Hoyas built up a 30-24
half-time edge.
At one time during the third
period the Lions whittled the
Georgetown edge to only six
points but a concerted scoring
spree boosted the Capital City
Gagers out of harm's range.
Marty Costa came through with
his best collegiate scoring effort
over three seasons as he led Lion
point producers with a 20 tally
effort. HIS hook shots from the
pivot, plus accuracy from the foul
line, kept State in the' ball genie.
Joe Toed, who proved the
game's outstanding play-maker,
also hit for 11 points, concentra
ting on long set shots. Starting
center Lee Schisler continued his
sterling play with five field goals
and two free throws, for 12 points.

For the third night •In a row,
Al Porto, Phi Kappa, iron by
the TKO route. This time his
victim wa s Papacharalambous,
who was unable to answer the
bell for the second round because
of a badly bruised or possibly
broken nose. Porto, who won
four of his five fights by TKO's,
was ahead at the close of a brus
ing first round.
They started off fast, landing
viciously .to the head with both
handth. Porto took the upper hand
for a few seconds, scoring with
four hard rights' to the left, but
Papacharalambous shook the
winner with a stinging left jab.
It was a roaring, crowd-pleasing
brawl while it lasted.
PROFESSIONAL SKILL
A finalist for the past three
years in. the 155-pound division,
Sigma Chi's Jack Long finally
won the championship. He did
it by banging out a clear-cut de
cision over Bill Hanley, Theta
Chi. Long stayed on top all the
way, ' and punished Hanby badly
through the middle round, land
ing four hard lefts and a thund
ering one-two combination.
Jerry McCaytney and Ed Rohr,
beck boxed with professional
skill in a bout which saw Mc-
Cartney land the 145-pound in
dependent title. Using a sharp
left hook to good advantage, Mc-
Cartney shook Rohrbeck several
times.
Chan Johnson, sophomore foot
ball star, outfought and, out
boxed John Morgan, Alphh Chi
Rho, to gain the 175-p ou n d
championship. The Alpha Phi
Alpha light-heavyweight proved
the stronger of the two as he
pulled away from the tiring Mor
gan in the second and third
rounds.
