PAGE SIX Lion Boxing Duo Goes By 808 VOSBURG • It’ll be Sammy Marino and Johnny Albarano against an all star field of 65 when the 15th an nual running for national inter collegiate boxing championships gets underway this afternoon at Madison, Wis. And the two Eastern champs, Penn State’s only representatives in the tourney, have drawn tough opponents for the first round of the three-day boxing marathon. Sometime during today’s two session, 35-bout card, Marino will tangle in a 119-pound bout with Joe Thornton of Louisiana State, who sports a 4-3 seasonal record. On the basis of seasonal marks, unbeaten (4-0-3) Marino should be the favorite, but Louisiana State is perenially a boxing pow er, and none of its boys can be counted short. At Low Point Two-time Eastern. champ Al barano has pulled as his first hurdle, in the path to the 147- pound crown, Bob Morgan of Wis consin. Both boys have 6-1 rec ords on . the season, but • it was Morgan, a freshman, who handed Johnny his only setback / of the year. Albarano is far and away the best in his class in the East, and is said to have been' at the low point in his three-year college career when losing to Morgan. Seventy-five entries from 19 schools have been made, with only Louisiana State, Michigan State and the host Wisconsin en tering full teams. Besides State, only Syracuse’s Eastern champ ionship team will be represented from the IBA. The Orange will enter Bill Miller at 156 pounds and George Kartalian, Eastern heavyweight champ. Other Eastern schools with en trants are Maryland, North Caro lina A & T, South Carolina, and Miami. Five NCAA champions, led by Wisconsin’s Dick Murphy at 156 pounds and heavyweight Bob Ranck, will return to defend their titles. The other champs are Neil Ofsthun of Minnesota at 125 pounds, Everett Conley of Wash ington State at 132, and Chuck Speiser of Michigan State’s de fending champs at 178. The Spar tans’ Jed Black, 147-pound title holder, is ineligible for this year’s tournament. Two Olympic \veights, 112 and 119 pounds, havd been added to the regular order. Marino, com peting in the latter division, will drop down from his regular 125- pound spot. Olympic Trials Also entered in the same class is Idaho’s Frank Echevarria with a 10-0-1 season’s .record. Eche varria, who eliminated Sammy in last year’s preliminary round, will probably be the Lion ban tam’s biggest block. Twenty semi-final bouts will be staged tomorrow night, with the finals Saturday night. Win ners in the ten weight classes will qualify for the United States Olympic squad trials at Kansas City this summer. A crowd of some 40,000 is an ticipated for the tournament, with a capacity 14,000 expected to wit ness the final bouts. 11 Team Titles Penn State’s victory in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrest ling Association championships, its second in a row, brings to 11 the team titles enrolled by the Nittany Lions since their entry into tournament competition in 1918. Their individual champ ions now number 62. - PSCA WEEK at College Sportswear There are only 3 days re maining for you to support your PSCA by making a purchase at College Sports wear.

Benedetti, standing a mere five feet four inches tall and weighing only 145 pounds, was also voted the George R. Pittenger most val uable player award last year. Benedetti performed brilliantly around the net last season as he repelled shot after shot. In nine contests last year,' the “Mighty Mite” came up with approxi mately 135 saves, Besides Benedetti, State has al so lost its defensive mainstay in Vance Scout, who was graduated this February. Scout,, like Raf fensperger. was an All-Pennsyl vania selection. (Thiel, however, has three re turning lettermen who should more than make up for Scout’s loss. A pair of Johns —Amber and Henry—and Barr Asplundh will probably get the nod when State opens next Thursday at Loyola of Baltimore. Asplundh and Henry, along with Scout, were instrumental in helping State upset the Maryland Lacrosse Club last year, 7-6. This trio all but rode the Marylanders off the field with their pressing tactics. Amber, even though he didn’t start last year, saw plenty of duty and should be a. valuable cog in Thiel’s defensive plans this year. Backing up this trio are a pair of juniors, Dick Schaefer and As plundh’s brother Paul. Both saw very little action last year but can be counted on should Henry, Amber, or Asplundh tire.
