On Win By
Lockerman
By MATT PODBESEK
DU WON. In last night's
final bout of the 1956 Intra
mural boxing finals, Delta
Upsilon won its sixth boxing
championship in the last eight
tournaments on a split deci
sion win by heavyweight cham
pion Jim Lockerman.
The losers were Theta Kappa
Phi and their heavyweight run
ner-up, Dick Thatch.
Lockerman won the first
round when he hit Thatch with
anything and everything but
the TKPhi pugilist came back
in the second round, found an
opening in Lockerman's south
paw stance and scored with a
reign of blows.
In the final round of the tour
ney, Tkatch continued his on
slaught but it was not enough to
win the decision of judges Ed Gil
key, Harry Carroll, or referee
Frank Patrick.
The preceding 175-pound title
bout was almost as close as DU's
other finalist, Paul North, had to
come from behind to defeat Sig
ma Phi Epsilon's Bob Berberich
for the 175 crown.
The match was made a "must"
win for DU after TKPhi's first
finalist, John Heffron, won the
135 title earlier in the evening
and put TKPhi ahead, 75-55, in
the battle for the team honors.
North had to win for DU to take
the title.
But the football star provc.3
equal to the task and won the
decision of the officials in the
second stanza. North, knowing
the scoring was close, found a
good opening in the SPE's de
fense. hurt Berberich in the
opening seconds of the round,
and won on that rally.
Heffron showed the advantage
of experience gained in winning
four previous fights against Beta
Theta Pi's Gene Woy, who had
drawn a pair of forfeits on his
way to the championship bracket.
Woy pressed the fight but was
continually caught off-balance
;and Heffron found him an easy
target in the first two rounds.
Woy continued his aggressive
ness in the final period and land
ed a few blows, but his lankier
opponent did the connecting that
won the decision.
Sophomore Arnie Roane, the •
KO artist from Omega Psi Phi,
issued a warning to the 1957
entrants in the 155-pound class.
Roane earned the 1M office des
ignation as the most outstand
ing fighter in the tournament
when he continued his streak of
stopping opponents in the first
round.
Roane's fifth straight first
round victim was George Hun
ter. Delta Sigma Phi. Hunter took
one of Arnie's patented "stiff
arm lefts" after a brief 15-second
exchange and became the runner
up in the 145-pound class.
Tony Rotell, Phi Kappa Sigma,
beat Joe Nudge for the 121-cham
pionship on a unanimous deci
sion in a match marked with four
knockdowns.
In the opening seconds of the
round, southpaw Rotell flashed
a left-right-left combination that
floored Nudge. Nudge hit Retell
with a single straight-right that
sent the champ to the canvas. but
Rotell recovered and again floor
ed the challenger in the opening
-minute of action.
After taking a beating in the
second. Nudge landed another
of his dynamite-packed rights
and sent the champ down. But
Nudge didn't land those rights
often enough and Hotel] won.
Dave Patterson outboxed and
outpunched Herb Hayes for a
round before stopping him in the

AFTER SHAVE
LOTION
Title, 95-85
Grapplers Continue Drills;
Resume Against Illinois
A short rest for Coach Charley Speidel's wrestlers
.will
be in order over the Christmas holidays before the Lions go
after their second win of the year against highly-rated Illi
nois Jan. 5 at Recreation Hall.
After practice sessions this week, Speidel will give the
undefeated grapplers a brief period at home before resuming
drills Dec. 27
Obviously, Speidel's prime ob
jective for the short Christmas
vacation is to keep the Lions in
condition for the Big Ten oppo
nent. The Illini invade the cam
pus only two days after the end
of the Christmas recess.
Wilkes Tourney Over Holiday
However, some of the Lion
grapplers may not return to prac
tice until after the holiday be
cause of the annual Wilkes Col
lege wrestling tournament in
Wilkes-Barre next Friday and
Saturday.
Several men, including Sid
,Nodland, the tourney's 123-pound
:defending champion, have indi
cated their intentions to partici
pate in the event.
At last year's tournament, Penn
State wrestlers won four of the
ten titles. In addition to Nodland,
Larry Fornicola—an outstanding
matman for Speidel in the 1955
season—won the 137-pound crown
while 1956 co-captains Joe Kruf
ha and Bill Oberly won the 177
and 191-pound titles respectively.
Pitt Won Team Crown
If the Lions would have been
participating in the tournament
as a team they would have easily
walked off with the team title.
No other squad, including the
winning University of Pittsburgh
team, had more than one indi
vidual winner.
However, since Penn State did
not officially send the men as
University representatives the
Lions were ineligible for the team
crown. The same condition will
prevail this year as the Nittany
wrestlers who enter• the tourna
ment will have to compete un
attached.
Lions Host Lehigh Jan. 12
After the Illinois meet, the
Lions will host arch-rival Lehigh
at Recreation Hall Jan. 12. Lehigh
has a 2-1 record thus far in pre-
Christmas competition w i n ning
from Pennsylvania and Syracuse
THURSDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1956
while losing to undefeated Cor
nell.
Four days after Lehigh, Mary
land—always a leader in South
ern wrestling circles, pays a visit
to Rec Hall.
The Lions make their final
home appearance of the season
against Big Ten foe, Ohio State,
Feb. 2—two days before second
semester classes start.
Close Season at Pittsburgh
After OSU, the Lions travel to
Navy, Feb. 9. Syracuse, Feb. 16,
and Cornell, Fell, 22, before dos
ing out the regular campaign
March 2 against the University of
Pittsburgh in the Steel City.
The weekend of March 15-16
will find Penn State entertaining
the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrest
ling Association's annual tourna
ment at Recreation Hall. Final
mat competition for the season
will come March 28 and 30 at the
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation's tournament in Pitts
burgh.
Disputed Films
Sent to Bell
DE T R O IT, Dec. 19 o=l—Al
though their general manager ad
mits "it's a hopeless case," the
Detroit Lions are sending films
of Sunday's disputed game with
the Chicago Bears to Bert Be]],
commissioner of the National
Football League.
"I know it won't do any good,"
Nick Kerbawy said today. "There
will be no fines, no suspensions
and no penalties of any kind. But
perhaps it will help prevent the
same kind of unsportsmanlike
conduct in the future."
The disputed play occurred
when Chicago defensive end Ed
Meadows tackled Lions' quarter
back Bobby . Layne after Layne
had pitched the ball out to an
other player.
