Collegians and The Northeast
squad, ended in a 3-3 tie. Packer

the Collegians.

1954 for • .he Lions, was confined
in a hospital the day before the
tryout game and was unable to

and a West Coast team. Mem

ing players from the three
squads.

late January or early February
to determine who will represent
North America in the 1956 Olym
pic Games. There will be two
games with Mexico arranged on a
home-and-home basis.

Eastern squad the chances of at
least one of them earning an
Olympic team berth appear ex
cellent. Both Packer and Coder
were picked on the first team
with Stelnyk and Torgeson -
picked as alternates.
The four Lion players were
picked out of 60 top-notch soccer !
players from the armed forces and j

Fifteen boxers moved into
the home stretch of the Intra
mural boxing tournament last
night at Recreation Hall.
Three independents advanced
into the final round and 12
fraternity men swept into the
semi-finals.
The remaining semi-final bouts
will be held tonight and tomor
row night with the championship
fights scheduled for Thursday
night.
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Delta
Theta, Delta Upsilon, and Lamb
da Chi Alpha had two men en
tered in last night’s competition
but only SPE could send both
fighters into the winners’ spot
light.
' Fred Knipe, 145, staved off a
third period rally by Neil Gear
hart to cop a unanimous decision
in the opening bout. Knipe car
ried the fight to his foe in the
first two rounds but Gearhart
came to life in the third.
Stopped in Second Round
Sam Valentine, SPE„ scored a
convincing victory over DU’s
Tony Tremonte in an outstanding
heavyweight bout. The fracas
was stopped at the end of the
second round when it appeared
that Tremonte was completely
outclassed. Valentine staggered
his opponent on three different
occasions in the first round and
added to his points with a knock
down in the second.
Pi Kappa Phi’s Bill Oberly
earned the right to meet Valen
tine in a semi-final bout with a
split decision win over Lambda
Chi’s Fred Siepert. Oberly’s
powerful punches kept the Lamb
da Chi entry on the run through
out the fight.
Gamble Cops Decision
Joel Gamble, Phi Sigma Kap
pa, copped a 155-lb. attraction
from Chi Phi’s Jack Long. Al
though Long opened up with a
strong attack, he tried in the final
two rounds, leaving the road open
for Gamble to record his victory.
Sigma Nu’s Steve Haky, two
time intramural fistic champion,
moved another step closer in his
quest for the heavyweight title by
winning a unanimous decision
from Phi Kappa’s Ignatius Hokaj.
Haky, who copped the 165-lb.
crown in 1953 and the 175-lb. title
last year, used a hard left jab,
combined with a stylish defense,
to defeat the Phi Kappa heavy
weight.
In the other heavyweight
quarterfinal, Frank Olney of Del
ta Sigma Phi gained a split de
cision win from Kappa Delta
Rho’s John Arnst. Arnst kept on
the move throughout the fight,
but the KDR battler took a beat
ing from Olney’s punches.
Strange Cornered
Scrappy Ben Wright, Kappa Al
pha Psi’s 145-lb. pugilist, pounded
out a split decision win over Phi
Kappa Tau’s Jack Strange. Al
though Wright was six inches
smaller than his adversary, he
continually cornered Strange on
the ropes only to have him slip
away before he could land a hard
punch.
