The Lions
With Elliot Krane
Sports Editor
"What did you think of the
fights, Frankie?", was the first
question asked of the former Penn
State national boxing champion
when he returned from the NCAA
bouts in Rec Hall Saturday night.
"Well, I thought they were
geod," he would answer with a
slight reservation in his
_voice.
"Herb Carlson was a really
great boxer, and I thought that
Spieser had a slight edge over
Maxey, bt►t of course, the ref
eree' and judges were closer to
the fighters , than I was."
"How do these fighters com
pare to the men you met when
you won the championship in
.1936?" was the next question on
,the
Lacked Polish -
' • "Except for Carlson, I don't
think that any of the boys that
fought in Bee Hall Saturday had
. 2 the polish of the 1936 Penn
•'State %team. Why, Billy Soose
. ..had 300 fights before he even
'stepped into the ring for a col
- lege, and men like Sam Donato,
,„;.1. 4 0u Ritzie and. Izzy Richter
would make this year's crop of
.. , boxers . 'look like high school
- bOxpri, Not that these .boys
:Weren't good;it's just that when
boxed here, when a man got to
college he already had his box
.
Ang experience while now, these
fellows learn to box while in
college.
The former 135-pound champ
ion; who lost only two bouts in
three years, remembers' vividly
his battle ; with Art McGivern of
Syracuse. "Art was one of these
boxers who would take no quar
ter—and -give none. He , never
smiled' in. 'the' ring and was out
for blood from the opening 'bell.
• "Well, Lwas living at the Z.B.T.
hoirse :and Itzy , Richter, who
fought in the, upper-weight brac
ket, was living, just a block away.
We used to walk to the weigh-in
at.l3ec 'Hall together. From news
paper reports, we knew that Mc-
Grivern fought at 175 pounds the
'first:week, 165 the second ; and we
figured' that' he'd .meet• :Iziy for
the Tenn State;Syracuse meet.
Don't .Worry
" 'lazy, I. said-on file „way •to
the gym, 'Don't worry abciut
that guy - (I was_ sure that Izzy .
would be on the canvas-by the
' end of the.firstround) just out-,
box wag feeling
pretty low' by; the time we got'
to Rec Han and ;.-was. pretty
chipper - beatiuse I' expected to
weigh-in, at 1,29 which would
let me ' fight - -in. s the 125-pound,,
• class." (In%those- dc.tys, a -.boxer
was. allowed lour pounds above
the official weight).,
'"The manager told me get on
the scales with my clothes on, and
since Leo Usually shifted the line
up around on the day of' the'fight,
I figured that he wanted me to
fight 135..1 got on the scales and
weighed 135 with my dvprcoat on.
"Aftey weighing in, we' were
given some hot broth since some
of the men had to 'dry outte'r•
make their 'weight.' Just
was drinking my soup, the man.;
eget._ came up to me and said.
'Frankie, McGivern just weigh
ed in at 149 and guess who!‘go
ing to fight against him,
"I spilled my 'soup all over the
floor and hoped that he was talk
ing to someone else, but 'he was
talking to nie. The boxing team
went down to the Corner • Room
after the weigh-in to eat a meal,
but I just left that big steak sit
in front of me. Just couldn't eat
a thing.
•
Don't Remember
"That night, I met McGivern,
a former ,light-heavyweight.. I
don't remember anything that
happened in the ring. I flitted
'around him, jabbing and diew
back, 'and: when ' the 'final' bell
sounded, they told me that I
won the fight."
