Nearly' three decades ago, Hu go Bezdek, then athletic director at Penn State, talked this guy in to hanging up his professional gloves and , into coming to the campus to " teach students the manly art of self defense. The day that Leo Houck de cided 'to come to the Nittany Valley marked the beginning of a thrilling chapter of Penn State history. At the same time it also closed the cover on a book of pro fights which stretched from 1902 to 1922 and covered 250 bouts in every, weight divi sion.; • • Ever since the "fairhaired boy from Lancaster" came to State, he had been one of the most loved guys around. He had a kind word for everyone and his exploits in collegiate boxing ranks became known to every one who ever set foot on the Cen tre County campus. He had consistently been a producer of champions. As the only college coach who had en tered teams in every Eastern boxing tournament, the veteran Houck owned the distinction of producing more individual cham pions than. any other coach. But no longer will he be pro ducing champions. Still fighting, the "good old doctor" is just about licked, although he'll never admit it. Operated on last summer, he seemed to be recuperating un til his recovery took a turn for the worse shortly after Christ mas. Right now he is nose diving at a rapid pace. He is in 'a critical condition now. For the past two weeks the genial Houck has said few words to those around hiin, yet, last' Sunday,. when Acting-boxing Coach Ed Sulkowski and Boxing Captain Chuck Drazenovich went to see their ailing coach, the friendly Houck was never greater. In a small bedroom is where this story ends. Still fighting, like the champion he is, Houck sat up in bed; weak as he was, clinched his fists, threw out a left, and said: "Chuck, you go in and get them, no one can lick you." Sulkowski then told him about this year's boxing team. "We'll keep you informed on how we make out," Ed com mented, "and you can keep tell ing me what you want done." Houck again straightened up, "that's fine Ed, I hope ,to be up Ofathun D. Mackey J. Mackey Moloy Connel (e) Williams Stedermer Raveling Watches Et " Clarks . O.
