Sam Marino, Adam Kois Win Crowns
Boxers Finish 3d in Easterns
As Syracuse Snares sth Title
SYRACUSE, N.Y. —Despite all the splendor of the Syra
cuse Orange in the 30th annual Intercollegiate Boxing As
sociation championships Saturday, the Penn State Blue
& White also shone with brilliance as Sam Marino and Adam
Kois nabbed individual titles..
Fighting their best battles of
the year, Kois arid Marino won
the 178 arid 125-pound crowns re
spectively to lead the. Lions to a
third place finish behind cham
pion Syracuse and runnerup
Army.
The ever-winning Orange mitt
men easily swept ,to their fifth
straight title with 36 points on
three champions and three run
riersup. West Point sco re d 22
points with two champs and one
“bridesmaid” arid State netted 17
counters thanks
to Kois and Ma
rino alone.

sportsmanship, and conduct.”
Aside from Kois and Marino,
no other of Coach Eddie Sulkow
ski's largely-inexperienced Nit
tanies could gain a win. State's
only other veteran performer,
Tony Flore,. was victim of the
“upset of the tourney.” Flore, af
ter drawing a bye in the prelim
inaries, was eliminated in the
Saturday afternoon - semi-finals
by Maryland’s Gary Fischer. In a
highly questionable decision,
Fischer got the nod to avenge
Flore’s early-season decisive vic
tory.

As' to Marino and Kois, they
were at their’ best. Hammering
Kois had to put on a gallant third
round rally to win the champion
ship from- Syracuse’s unexpected
ly tough Bruce Yancey. In the
first round Adam scored repeat
edly 'with flurries of - lefts and
rights. But in the second. frame,
Yancey took the .play and rushed
Kois all over the ringr
However in the final' rbund,
Kois came back- “like a cham
pion” while Yancey faded. Adam
slugged the glassy-eyed Yancey
as if a clay pigeon. Out on his
feet. Yancey could hardly raise his
arms to stop Adam’s lethal blows.
To gain the final round, Kois
stopped Army’s Ed Mendall in
1:30 of the first round during the
semi-finals.
Marino, on the other hand, was
at his .best in the semi-finals. Pit
ted against his only EIBA dual
season conqueror, .Maryland’s
Gary Garber, Marino never look
ed better. In the first round Sam
dodged' Garber’s power-packed
left hook arid as Garber ducked
following his lunge, Sam pepper
ed him- with swift. combinations
of lefts and rights.
In the third round Sam began

Garber at his own game. In the

Sidelights
With host Syracuse completely
dominating the EIBA’s, the par
tisan crowd had plenty to yell
about. 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.

State’s 165 entry Hank Arnold,

standing wrestler,' made third-seeded Don Frey of State his
fourth victim via pins. He had State’s grappler flush with
the mat with a half nelson and crotch hold in 4:39. Frey was
the toughest opponent for Bet
tucci in the tourney. The three
time champ scored falls in 2:11,
2:40, and 2:29 before his final pin.
Alex McCord of Lehigh did a
magnificant job in winning his

vard’s John Lee in ’8:19 with a
reverse nelson and body press.
In the best match of the tour

season. As the referee went to
the scorers table to see who had
actually won the bout, the more
than 3250 screaming fans stood up
and applauded the wrestlers.
Ken Hunt, who became Cor
nell’s third champion of the day,
defeated Don Rumsfeld who upset
top-seeded champion Ed Rooney
of Syracuse in the 157-pound divi

Princeton grappler.

weights, . Werner Seel of Lehigh
