WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1454 sp , ri SP°tIIGNt HOST'S JOB - SULK'S SECOND Sixty-one college boxers will arrive on campus today to prepare for the National C?llegiate boxing extravaganza scheduled to begin at Rec Hall tomorrow afternoon. For coach_ Eddie Sulkowski, Penn •State's erstwhile ring master, the national tourney will mark his second stint as a host. The last time , Sulkowski handled the mammoth job as host coach was in 1950. Sulk had just taken one of the boxing world's biggest jobs when he replaced Leo Houck after his death: Houck had been one of the most famous men in the fight game, loved by all, and regarded as a coaching genius. Sulk was a newcomer. He was young, and not too long in the past had been a Penn State boxer himself. NoW here he was, a host coach for one of collegiate sport's big gest tournaments. And the fans didn't envy his position. For Sulk had never seen an, NCAA tournament, and Vet'he had the job of being the hest coach: Newspapers all over the coun try that year were talking about rugged Chuck Drazenovich, Lion footballer, who had given boxing a try• the previous winter and promptly established himself as one of the 'greatest boxing pros pects in the country. Two weeks before the nationals were sched uled to open; DrazenoviCh flat tend defending heavyweight champion Marty Crandall, - of Syracuse. Drazenovich's win had been so convincing that fight ex perts had all but given him the heavyweight title before the tour nament had begun. Draz didn't disappoint them. He Plowed through the heavy weight _entry list and emerged as the national, champ, the Lions' first "giant sized" cham- • pion since Paul Scally had cap tured the 175 pound title in 1941. The traditional defending cham pion angle will almost be lost this year for snorts writers covering the tourney. Two of last year's winners have been withdrawn from competition, leaving only Ray Zale, Wisconsin's. slugging 175 pounder to seek a repeat win. Idaho State's Vic Kobe has drop ped the 119-pound division be cause of an illness and 165-pound Tom Hickey of Michigan State was forced to withdraw because of ineligibility. The Baseball Scene CEIMMI/E=!ila nual battle with the weather man, will open his 24th season as baseball coach Saturday against West Virginia. Indica tions point to another fine sea son for the Nittany skipper. With only two of last season's regulars departed, and capable re placements for them in the offing, Bedenk is looking for -big things from his team. We'll have a good team," he said. "Of course you never know when you' i re going to have . a bad day, though That's the kind of sport baseball is." With two fine pitchers, Keith Vesling, and Garland Gingerich, who combined for a 13-4 record last season, spearheading his mound corps, the Lion pitching looks plenty solid. In the in field, burly Pat Kennedy at first base, Charlie Russo, a .342 hitter, last season, at second, and sure-fielding Hubie Kline at third form a core of experi ence that .should help plenty. Shortstop Ron Weidenha.mmer has been shifted to center field to fill the gap left by Cil Cerchie. Tom Werner, capable of poking the long ball, and speedy- Rex Bradley round out the outfield trio. Only two positions—shortstop and catcher—will be filled by newcomers. Sophomore Frank Bo man, who has looked very• sharp in the field, will be in the short stop slot and Art Cusick, who understudied • Bill Leonard last season, will share the backstop chores with - Sophomore George Ettinger. In all,,Bedenk will field a solid team Saturday that figures to grab a nice - slice of victory from the 22-game, sche4ule.
