But its roar was loudest when underdog Bruce Yancey threatened to upset 178 pound Nittany favorite Adam Kois in the Saturday night finals. After Adam won the first round, the crowd rose to a frenzied pitch while Yancey rallied in the second round. Then in the third round when Adam slipped to the canvas, the crowd crowed louder—if .it were possible. But from then . on there were mostly . groans from the Syracuse mob as Kois took the play and the fight with a spectacular recovery ... Adam was also involved in a little gymnastics by-play during the Friday night preliminaries. Tingling with Maryland’s Bill Mclnnis in a clinch along the ropes, both fighters flipped over the top strand/and fell head first over the top.' Adam landed on the apron but Mclnnis fell into the laps and typewriters of the terrified Fourth Estate—Shades of the Dempsey-Fripo fight! . . . In the Hank Arnold-Vince Rigo losi (Syracuse) semi-final fight, Hank gamely took everything the Orange mauler could throw and still came back for more. At the end, Rigger was completely punched out and astonished that Hank should still be standing . . . If was an extremely down-, cast and apologetic Tony Flore after 'he lost to Maryland's Fischer in the semi-finals., He' was disappointed at having left the team down and at himself for not being "a tournament - boxer." If it's any consolation to Tony, he was "robbed" of a decision that was rightfully his even though he did fight his worst match of the year. Sam Marino whip Syracuse’s Tom Coulter.
