125-1. b.: Mciriho...4...Physical Giant
By ART DENNING
When you ask boxing coach
E,d di e Sulkowski if coaches'
dreams ever come true, he'll tell
you, "sometimes." This year, he
says, at least one of his dreams
came. true. It seems that for
years; the biggest problem for
Sulkowski and his predecessor,
Leo •Houck, was finding men for
the boxing team• who were (not
big enou g.h, but . . .) small
enough.. '
But when Sam Marino reported
td. boxing practice early last fall,
Sulkowski had to admit that
dreams do come true. For here
Was a diminutive giant with a
build like a miniature Hercules
who weighed only 120-lbs., a
good five pounds under the.low
est weight class in collegiate box
ing.
But what was even better news
was that this dark-haired ban
tamweight was a "natural" in the
ring. He could do everything just
the way the coaches wanted it
done.
Loires Boxing
So, from the first, Sulkowski's
125-lb. starter was beyond ques
tion. Freshman coach "Ogie"
Martella took Sam under his
wing during those early months.
He had little trouble getting him
in shape because his protege
loved anything connected with
boxing.
It soon became apparent that
the young sophomore from Nor
ristown was in for a rough first
year. And it actually turned out
to be the case that Sam had to
box all senior s, and all ex
perienced Fnen.
Although this creates a tough
obstacle for any aspiring colle
giate ringman, it developed into
the best thing that could have
happened. Why? Because now,
with the dual meet season be-
hind him, he has gained more
experience in his first season than
some boxers pick up in . two or
three seasons. And. Sam learned

something from every one of his

Good Opponents•
To make matters even tougher,
the Lions' leadoff man squared
off against the best three of his
opponents while on the road, al
ways a full-sized job. As it hap
pened, these three men were
the only ones to defeat him this
year.
Sam entered the EIBA's bent
on revenge for his defeats. Here
the fates were unkind again. In
the opening bout with Len Coin
er, Sam suffered a cut on his
left eyelid, and the bout was
stopped ear ly in the second
round after Sam had Coiner in
trouble. The decision went to
Coiner.
So now Sam is going to try
again. But of Penn State's four
entries in the NCAA's this week
end, Sam has drawn the toughest
assignment' in the opening bouts.
