P A CO" cix ction in Eastern IT LOOKS like Syracuse light-heavy with a right of his own. Adam easily won John Maher! is going to level the Lion's a decision to move in the final round of Adam Kois with that right of his, but the EIBA championships along with Florc Kois has just staggered the Orangeman He will meet Army's Jim Mclnerney. Kois Tops Orange's Mahar; Fiore Upsets Joe Incarnato It was victories by Tony Flore and Adam Kois in crucial semi final bouts last night that gave Penn State at least six points toward team honors. Flore decisioned Cathloic U.'s Joe Incarnato to move to the finals of the 139-pound class, and Kois, won a bruising victory over Syracuse's Whitey Mahar to do likewise in the 178-pound brac ket. The other two Lions i n last night's quarter-finals, Sam Butler and Gerry Spotts, lost decisions. The Kois-Mahar battle was a real old-fashioned slugfest, and the best fight of the night. Adam in winning a unanimous dedision relied chiefly on sledge-hammer blows to wear down his oppon ent. Defense Forgotten The first round was fairly even, with both boys throwing style to the wind, and swinging fero ciously. This tempo continued through out the bout, with defense a for gotten thing, and Adam scoring hard with both hands, mostly to Mahar's head. Though Adam was the harder puncher, Mahar landed many fine blows of his own, and it was two very tired boys who left the ring at the final bell with Kois de clared the winner. Grew Stronger The Fl or e-Incarnato bout started both boys mixing it up pretty evenly, Tony pecking away at Incarnato's face with stinging lefts, and Incarnato con centrating mostly on the body. As the fight progressed, how ever, Tony grew stronger and broke the hitherto even match wide open late in the second round when he buckled Incarnato with a right and left to the head. Incaranat tired badly, and the third round was all Fiore. At one time he caught the Catholic U. veteran with five straight rights to the head. Too Much Experience Flore meets Syracuse's Johnny Granger in tonight's 139-pound 7 final. He beat Granger in a dual meet. Sammy Butler in a 132-pound battle, just didn't have the ex per!ence to cope with Army's Jim McGee, and though willing oil the way, fell to the veteran Cadet. McGee was the aggressor all the way and, showed a fine left hand. He bothered Sam consider ably - vith the left in the first round. but in the second Sammy gained confidence, and traded blows on fairly even terms. In the third, however, McGee's finesse began to show, and he dropped Sam f"r a nine count midway throp The 156-pound battle between By 808 VOSBURG Summary 125 pounds—Bill Banerdt, Virginia de cisioned !Joe Walsh, Catholic U. 132 pounds—Jim McGee, •Army, de cisioned Sam Butler, Penn State. 139 pounds—(semi-final) Tony Flore Penn State, decisioned Joe Incarnato, Cath olic U. 139 ponnds—(semi-final) Johnny Grang er, Syracuse, TKO'd Jack Poirier, Army Time: 1:37 of second. 147 pounds—Gus Fiacco, Syracuse, de cisioned Bernie Pannone, Catholic U. 156 pounds—Pete Potter, Virginia, de cisioned Gerry Spotts, Penn State. 165 pounds—Jeryl Hughes, Army, de cisioned Vince Rigolosi, Syracuse. 178 pounds—(semi-final) Adam Rois Penn State decisioned John Mahar, Syra cuse. 178 pounds—(semi-final) Jim Mclnerney decisioned Bill Roberts, Virginia.
