Boxers Leave For Eastern Bouts;
Potter Replaces Wilson At 175 Lbs
A full lineup of eight Nittany Lion boxers leave town at 8 o'clock this morning for the
Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing association tournament to be held 'tomorrow and Saturday
in Memorial gymnasium at the University, of Virginia, in Charlottesville.
One newcomer is -- among the eight ringmen who are making a determined bid for the
team title and individual titles this \veekend. Bob Potter, a junior who has been held in
reserve in case of injuries to the regular 165- and 175-Ib. battlers, will make the trip re ,
placing Chuck Wilson, who won
one while losing five.
Potter has . been the sparring
partner of nearly all the boxers
from 155 through j 75 lbs. this
year. He lias never fought a col
legiate bout and will face light
heavyweights who are not par
ticularly great, but who will have
the advantage of experience un
der fire. Nevertheless, Coach Ed
die Sulkowski points out that Pot
ter is in 'excellent shape, moves
well, and is an aggressive boxer,
'which could carry him well up
into the listings.
Drawings'. Today '
The quarter-finals get under way
tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, with
the semi-finals slated for 2 p.m.
Saturday afternoon and the finals
at 8 p.m. that night. \ Drawings to
determine quarter-final pairings
will be held this afternoon.
The•Lions' hopes rest mainly on
imbeaten Lou Koszarek at 165 lbs.,
Frank Gross, 135 lbs., Pat Heims,
155 lbs., John Albarano, 145 lbs.,
and Sam Marino, .125 lbs. Of. these,
Koszarek appears to be the surest
bet for a crown, having beaten all
corners in dual meets. Gross must
battle it out with Grover Master
son of Virginia and, several other
good lightweights.
Helms will have his }lands full
with Army's Ken Herring, Syra
cuse's Bill Miller, and
,Catholic U.'s
Bucky Ennis. Albarano, an East
ern runnerup last year along with
Gross, seems destined to meet Sy
racuse's defending champ, Ben
Dolphin, before the tourney is
over.
Marino, loser to both Virginia's
Len Coiner and Syracuse's Jim
Huba, will also have to face at
least one of these two if he is to
figure in the finals.
Draz Gone
With Chuck Drazenovich, Penn
State's claim to national fame last
year, out of the scene, Syracuse's
Marty Crandall will probably be
favored to win the Eastern crown
that he has found so elusive. Al
though he won the national heavy
weight crown in 1949 he has yet
to gain an
,Eastern title. •
Schools participating in the
EIBA's will be Penn State, Vir
ginia, Syracuse, Army, W. Mary
land, Cornell, Catholic U., and
Georgetown.

Fencers Meet Phila, Club,
Temple In Two Final Tilts
The final two engagements on the Penn State fencing card will
find the Meyermen attempting to upset the undefeated Philadelphia
Fencers club tomorrow afternoon, and the ,once victorious Temple
Owls in their season's , final Sat
urday. Both matches are sched
uled for' Philadelphia.
Usually when two teams with
similar records clash, the outcome
is difficult to ponder on. How
ever, in this particular case, the
'two logs are as far apart as Mutt
and Jeff. Thus the Lion (0-5)
hopes of routing the highly-tout
ed Philly squad (5-0) are slim.
Ist Win Possible
But, the Temple contest may
afford t h e State duelists their
long- awaited opportunity to
break into the winning column.
Last year the Nittany blades
men mauled the Owls for their
first triumph of that season and
they hope to duplicate that feat
on Saturday. Some of the per
sonnel on the team also have
their ow n squabbles to settle.
Veteran'S. Pete Raidy, Captain Ed
Merek, and Bob Searles will be
seeking revenge for their double
duel loses last season.
This year the Owls have come
up with fair showing, having lost
to Rutgers, Lehigh, Philadelphia,
Fencers, and Johns Hopkins,
while their only win was a 21-6
slashing of a weak Delaware team
last week.

Gross Gets Second Shot
At Masterson In MA's
Anyone who wins two-and-a-half times as many bouts as he
loses has to be rated more than an average boxer.
And Penn Staters knew two years ago that Frank Gross was some
day going to be way above average. That was the year that Frank
was ineligible to compete for the Nittany Lions because he had just
transferred from Duquesne.
But ineligibility didn't keep Frank from preparing himself for
a starting berth on the 1950 box-I
ing squad. And when the follow
ing spring rolled around, the quiet,
unassuming boxer had clinched
the 145-pound berth, and was al
ready at work on his winning rec
ord, which was eventually to
mount to 10 wins and 4 losses in
dual meet competition.
Gross Finishing Ring Career
Frank, as a senior, has fought
his last dual meet bout. But his
most important" '. fights are still 51
ahead. In his sec- ,•••` V 1
,r'
and quest for an • • z;'o*;.„ ;:

Eastern crown,
Frank will be go- '•
ing all out this
weekend in
Charlottesville,
Va., to outpunch
the best in the
East. In all prob
ability the 135-
lb. class will re
sult in a climac
tic finish between
Frank Gross and
Virginia's Grover Masterson, who
decisioned Gross last weekend.
Frank would like nothing better
than to win the title and especial
ly from Masterson, already a two
time champion. Frank says, "I'm
out to beat him. I think I can do
DU Cheers Them On
One thing is certain. Delta Up
silon fraternity will have a tense
weekend until it hears how its
two aspirants for Eastern boxing
titles have made out. Besid es
cheering for Gross, the boys at the
house have teammate Lou Kos
zarek to keep an eye on. Bothshave
good chances of coming through.
Gross, who hails from Erie
where he played two years of foot
ball and made the track team at
PIAA Mat Tourney Scit.
