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. This year's Cav-

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).
