Jim Carter
4-1 Favorite
To Keep Title
NEW YORK, , March 4 (JP)---
Lightweight Champion Jimmy
Carter, winner of his last three
title defenses by knockouts, is a
4-1 favorite to whip rough Paddy
DeMarco in their 15-round title
fight in Madison Square Garden
tomorrow night.
Although the , L6-year -old
lenger from Brooklyn has beaten
most of the top 135-pounders, he
is given only the slighest chance
to upset the 30-year-old champion,
a hard man to down when his
crown is on the line.
There is practically no betting
on the outcome itself. What little
wagering there is has been on
whether the Brooklyn "billygoat"
can go the full 15 rounds. Th e
flat-nosed, poker-faced Carter is a
7-5 choice to stop his aggressille
opponent.
Paddy has been stopped only
once—on cuts by Sandy Saddler--
in a 9-year pro career of 80 fights,
but he never has fought more
than 10 rounds.
The bout, starting at 10 p.m.,
EST, will be broadcast ABC and
telecast NBC locally and nation
ally.
DeMarco, ranked fourth as the
result of his victory over Ralph
Dupas Tan. 2, scoffs at the odds.
He is confident he has the style
to beat Carter and the stamina to
go 15 rounds.

Lion Boxers Bottle
Cadets Tomorrow
With the 1954 Eastern Boxing Association tourney just one
week away, Penn State's boxing team will face its sixth foe of the
season tomorrow. The Lions will be seeking their second consecutive
win, while carrying three losses and one tie, when they travel to
West Point to meet Army's ring
team
Army and Penn State have met
each other 31 times, since the two
team's firSt meeting in 1922. The
Cadets hold a one-sided edge with
20 victories, compared to the
Lions' five. Six meetings have re
sulted in ties.
Victims of Syracuse
Army has faced Virginia, Syra
cuse; Catholic University,, and the
Quantico Marines this seas o n.
Coach Her 12 Kroeten and his ring
men battlebLto a 4-4 deadlock with
the Virginia Cavaliers, but lost to
Syracuse,• 4 1 / 2 -3 1 , 1 2. The Lions de
feated Virginia at Charlottesville
last week, 5 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 , and tied Syra
cuse at Rec Hall, 4-4.
But the Lions will be battling
an experienced Cadet eight—par
ticularly in the lightheavy and
heavyweight classes.
Low Weights Important
In the Virginia meet, Coach
Eddie Sulkowski and his mitt
men gained a decided edge early
in
. the match by copping three of
the" lightweight bouts. The as
surance of victory over Army may
require a similar feat this week
by the Nittanies.
Last year Army handed the
Lions their sixth straight loss, 5-3.
Carrying only two letterman—
Harry Papcharalambous and Cap
tain Adam Kois—the Lions face
a ring-wise Cadet squad.
In comparing the records be
tween the Cadets and Virginia in
their match this year, indications
show that the Lions should hold
an edge in at least two weight
classeS, 139 and 147-pounds.
Both Don Martin and Larry
Stokes copped victories at Vir
ginia. Martin's opponent, Grice
Whitely, 'defeated Army's Mike
Stevenson.
