WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1950 Nine Eastern Champions Vie for. Boxing Titles When the opening gong for the 27th annual Intercollegiate Boxing Association Tournament sounds at Syracuse next Friday, there'll be exactly nine Eastern , champions vying for titles. • Besides the entire set of eight Eastern kinpins whom coped titles last year, a 1948 crown wearer will seek another crack at an BIBA title. • Represented at the tournament, scheduled for the State Fair Coliseum, will be four two-time winners of Eastern titles. Here's a short preview of some of the talent that'll compete for laurels. Virginia's • two-time winners back for a third crack at a title will be 130-pounder Allen Hol lingsworth and 135-pounder Gro ver Masterson. Both, if success ful in regaining their crowns will have 'to be satisfied with Eastern titles since Virginia is barred from the forthcoming NCAA tour nament because of an earlier vio lation of the NCAA Sanity Code, TOURNEY'S BEST Another two time winner is Syracuse's captain, dancing Jim Rollier. The hard-to-connect-with 165 pounder was named the tour nament's outstanding boxer last year. Alio striving for his third con secutive Eastern title will be the Lion's explosive heavyweight, Captain Chuck Drazenovich. In the first 26 years of the tour nament only seven boxers have been able to cop three titles, suc cessive or otherwise. Yet this year there are tour highly-regarded leather-slirigers vying for their third crintrn. - • PENN STATE SECOND Last year, when the EIBA's were staged at Rec Hall, Syracuse copped the team championship with a 24 point total. Penn State was second with 14. At 125 pounds, the field is wide open. Back for a second title will be Catholic U's Tom Cronin. Last year he decisioned Army's Stan Scott for the crown. Virginia's Leonard Coiner and Penn State's John Hanby will be other top rate contenders. The battle - I°r 130 pound honors will - be wide open and although Hollingsworth will be top seeded, Army's Stan Scott and Syracuse's Pete Pechette might upset the apple.cart. ALBARANO Going down the list, in the 135 division Grover Masterson, the Virginia, battler, will .be in for plenty of rough treatment, most of it comingfrom , Penn State's Johnny Albarano and Syracuse's , Tiin Curley. Last ' year • Curley *on the EIBA 145-pound title_ but this year he competes in the 135 weight class. Top man in the 145 division, vacated by Curley, will be an other , Orange slugger, lanky Ben Dolphin. Frank Gross, although beaten by Dolphin in a dual meet this season, will be probably banked right behind Dolphin. Chuck Rigoglioso, the fighting 155-Pounder. who last year de cisioned Basil . Miragliotta of Vir ginia fOr the title will be back to defend his crown. He'll face an other Virginia ,top-hotcher, Ba siVs brbther Joe.

Ave.—Rear -- "IC DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA oiler Captain, Joe won am-East em title two years ago. At 165 pounds, Syracuse's Jimmy Rollier seems to have the inside track to a sure title. In three years of competition no-one has come' close to comparing to . the slick operating Rollier. BOLGER-MONFORE In the light-heavy division, Army's defending champ and NCAA runnerup last year, Pete Monf ore will be the favorite. Mon fore, two years ago, was named the outstanding boxer , of the 1948 EIBA's. Penn State's improved Jack Bolger and Virginia's La mont Atwell will be the top con tenders. A battle royal is in• store for fight fans in the heavyweight di vision. Chuck Drazenovich will be top rated but he'll have to put up with some such name heavys 'as the NCAA champ, Marty Crandell of Syracuse, and Army's Bill Kellum. Then there's ,Joe Corleto, the Western Mary land operator who has been the only battler to decision Chuck twice, in fact the Draz has yet to win a decision from the vetexan, Corleto. For local fight fans, unable to make the trek to Syracuse, the EIBA's will be broadcast by radio station WMAJ, announcer Mickey Bergstein doing the blow by blow account. Eastern Champions Syracuse basketball teams have been Eastern champions' on four separate occasions, winners of the Allie Seelbach (Upstate New York) Trophy three of 'the last four years, including • last year, National Invitation Tournament competitors, and National Champ ions (1925-26).
