PAGE SIX Saturday's Mee*. NCAA Tuneup For Ringmen Greatly cheered by a third place in last week’s Eastern Inter collegiates, Penn State’s boxing team closes its dual meet season against Catholic U. Saturday iri Rec Hall with excellent possibilities for its first win. ' Catholic U. is so thin in material this season that it only entered two men in the EIBA’s. One, Norm DiCarlantonio, 139 pounder, was eliminated in the preliminary round. The other, Bernie Pannone, 14? pounder, drew a bye into the semi-finals but then lost his first bout. Coach Eddie Sulkowski is expected to shake up his lineup this week with an eye to spreading experience around and to give fellows like Sam Marino and Tony Flore tougher preparation for the na tionals. ■ The NCAA tourney, to be held at Idaho State April 9-11, will have two Nittanies entered for certain and possibly a third. Eastern champions Marino, 125, and Adam Kois, 178, are the definite starters. Flore, unbeaten during the dual season, is a possible Nittany 139 pound entry in the NCAA’s even though he was upset in the Easterns. Marino and Kois are figured good risks to win titles. Kois hasn’t lost to anyone all year including two members of the big teams in the nationals—Wisconsin and Michigan State. Marino, on the other hand, will benefit by fighting in a lower Weight class. The NCAA’s 119 pound class is made to order for the Nittany captain. It is especially so this year because of a new NCAA ruling. The rule states that any fighter wishing to box 119 must have weighed in for his regular dual season matches at 122 or less. Sam, who was less than 122 for every one of his 125 pound matches this year, has his chances increased by the graduation of Idaho’s Frank Echavarria. The Idaho boxer eliminated Marino both last year and the year before. Last year Echavarria stopped Sam in the finals to win the championship. Flore, too, could go well. Tony has licked Michigan State’s 139 pounder and got a draw with Wisconsin’s Chuck Magestro in two dual meets with title contending teams.

Lehigh; A 1 Paulekas (177), Army” Samson Maintains Nittany Mat, Tradition in Heavyweight Class Throughout its wrestling history Penn State has been noted for its outstanding heavyweights. Dur ing the last two years, in fact, Coach Charlie Speidel’s unlimited class was so good that one over shadowed the other. They were Homer Barr and Lynn 'llling worth. Although Illingworth was good enough to wrestle on any other team, he had to sit in the back ground as Barr performed- his talents against the unlimited op position. When Illingworth suc cessfully -1o s e d his collegiate wrestling career last year, Spei del’s outlook in the heavyweight division appeared gloomy. But thanks to Frank Bassle, for mer Michigan NCAA champ, Penn State has not only had ah impressive. 177-pound matman, but has come up with a heavy weight who had made Rec Hall wrestling fans forget the great exploits of Illingworth and Barr. He is Hud Samson. When Samson was a senior at the Hill School in Pottstown, Bas sle came to his alma mater to coach wrestling. Attempting to make wrestlers of everyone or at least of those who could move his arms and v legs, Bassle had everyone wrestle with him. In tangling with the tall, heavy, but well muscled Samson, Bassle fore saw a possible champ. And he was right. After going unbeaten in 1948, Samson took a post graduate course the following year and be came an interscholastic champion. By SAM PROCOPIO Senior ai Hill School ★ ★ Hud Samson It was in the finals' of the 1949 interscholastic championships that Hud received, his biggest mat thrill. When he was matched with his foe in the finals, Samson- was told that he was spotting his finalist 50 pounds. Despite the weight ad vantage, however, Samson went on to defeat him, 13-8, and win the heavyweight title. Here if is! Our first major CLOTHING SALE! Hurry down immediately for best selections.

In 1950 Samson entered Du- Bois, a Penn State center, again sporting an unblemished record. While on campus the next year, Speidel lost his services duetto a knee injury. The injury, however did not stop the strong heavy weight from registering a 7-2 won and lost record in the 177-pound class last year. This season he moved up to the heavyweight class to plug the gap vacated by-Illingworth. In dual meet competition the Pottstown heavyweight performed excep tionally well, posting an 8-1 log. Three times this year the power laden Lions had to prove them-' selves champions when their ad versaries kept them in doubt until the final bout. 'And it was Samson,, in each situation who gave Penn' State’s unbeaten matmen the win ning margin. Against previously-unbeaten, Maryland he had nipre ;than 5000 enthusiastic fan’s standing and applauding his pin over the Terps’ Bob Everly which gave the Lions / a 18-11 victory.
