started ¦ rushing the Lion 175pounder, 

but Scally countered 

with hard lefts to the head and 

tied the 'Gator up. 

The second round opened more 

actively with'DeCourcy still rushing,

fighting. The winner: Roth, Wisconsin.

Baird-Jollymore 

The home crowd had its second 

field day when All-College President 

Bob Baird stepped into the

(35-Pounds 

Rankin-Joca 

•»The' heralded battle of kings 

between Gene Rankin, Wisconsin's 

1939 ruler, and Johnny Joca,

Joca's in the first round on left 

hooks. Always grinning, Rankin 

pressed his quest for the crown

fight was reasonably close. The 

winner: Ourso, S.W. La. 

Miyagawa-F. Kara 

Little Dick Miyagawa, San 

Jose's Phillipino star, drew so 

much applause as he started his 

fight with lanky Frank Kara, 

Idaho co-captain, that Referee 

Charlie Short had to stop it 

briefly to quiet the crowd. Kara's 

longer reach told the story and 

Idaho sent its second man into 

the finals as San Jose's second 

and last semi-finalist was eliminated. 

The winner: F. Kara. 

Idaho. 

120-Pounds 

Harper-Webber 

Don Harper, Southwestern 

Louisiana, and Bill Webber, San 

Jose, opened cautiously in the 

first round with Webber trying 

to confuse his opponent by shifting 

his stance from right to left 

after the second opened. Harper 

took the second by landing the 

heavier blows. Webber- tried to 

keep the Southern star away with 

his right but, particularly in the 

third, Harper danced inside his 

foe's longer reach to land telling 

blows. The winner: Harper, S. 

W. La. 

Kara-Harger 

Cool, as a cucumber, Idaho's 

co-captain and two-time champion, 

Ted Kara, made- Clyde 

Harger, LSU, do the work in the 

first round of their fight. Harger

Colleges Told 

Deferment 

Is Their Job 

WASHINGTON, March 27— 

(IWP)—The American Council 

on Education told college and 

university presidents throughout 

the country today that it is 

their definite responsibility to 

request occupational deferment 

for students who are "potentially 

necessary men in preparation 

for an occupation essential to 

the national health, safety, or 

interest," even though students 

do not themselves ask for deferment 

from selective service. 

Last week's "policy letter" 

from national draft headquarters, 

the Council said, carries 

"definite implications" for college 

and university officials. 

"For the college to request 

the occupational deferment of 

every student, even in fields 

such as medicine-and chemistry,, 

would violate the fundamental 

legal provision of prohibiting 

group deferments. If the colleges 

and universities are to be 

of genuine assistance to local 

boards, they must be willing to 

refuse to make such requests for 

students who are not potentially 

necessary men," the Council 

warned. 

The educational association 

urged colleges to acquaint students 

with the letter sent last 

week to all local draft boards 

calling for the occupational deferment 

of students "in training 

or preparation" for occupations 

important to national health and 

safety. College administrators 

should "take the initiative," the 

Council declared , in asking deferment 

for potentially necessary 

students , who . fail to request 

occupational deferment. 

"The fact that no fields essential 

jto the national health, safety, 

or interest are named provides 

a broader interpretation 

than if a few fields had been 

listed," the letter to presidents 

continued. "There are undoubtedly 

some students in every 

field who possess such qualities 

that they are potentially 

'necessary men.' This very fact 

makes even more essential a 

careful appraisal of each individual 

student subject to selective 

service."

Basic ROTC students will no:

T/ie Draft 

Local Boards 

Often Disaaree 

By JOHN A. BAER 

One cause of . uneasiness 

among students who expect to 

receive new draft classifications 

in June is the wide variance in 

decisions of local draft boards. 

This variance can be shown 

very readily by the following 

example. Two roommates, juniors 

in the same eastern medical 

college, were classified by 

different draft boards. Although 

they were practically of equal 

ability, one was given II-A status 

(occupational deferment) 

and permitted to continue his 

education. 

The other was classified as 

I-D (blanket student deferment) 

which forces him to report 

for service at the end of 

the current scholastic year. 

Although the inconsistency of 

classifications is a grave problem, 

it is a natural consequence 

of the way in which local draft 

boards work. They have full 

authority. They are not bound 

by strict rules from Washington 

but merely by general suggestions 

which often do not apply 

to individual cases. 

An attempt is being made to 

correct this but there are approximately 

6,500 local boards 

and any change in the draft machinery 

takes time. However, 

definite policies are being set up 

as fast as possible. 

The American Council on 

Education through the Subcommittee 

on Military Affairs is 

helping in this work by taking 

a national survey of decisions 

affecting college students. Incomplete 

results show that it 

may be wise for Selective Service 

officials to take one of two 

courses: 

1. The first alternative would 

be for officials to issue definite 

regulations governing deferment 

of men in essential occupations 

or students ; who are 

preparing for- those occupations. 

This would be the more simple 

method for it would require no 

changes in the Selective Service 

Act, only a different interpretation 

of the existing law. 

2. The second course would 

be for Congress to enact new 

legislation requiring iigferment 

of - "essentially employed" persons. 

This, Congress is reluctant 

to do because__jt would 

probably start " a Hundred unnecessary 

deferment bills rolling 

up Capitol Hill. 

In either : case, -there should 

be a satisfactory solution of the 

problem of student deferments.

Houck Had Long 

Pro Ring Career 

The boys call Boxing Coacr. 

Leo Houck "the honorable Doctor" 

and the title is well bestowed. 

Leo earned his doctorate ol 

pugilism in the college of experience. 

He was an honor student 

too, a Phi Beta Kappa in the ar1 

of boxing. 

Leo Fred Florian Houck started 

his professional boxing careei 

in 1907. Before he retired from 

the ring in 1923, when he toofc 

over as boxing coach at Penr 

State, he fought approximately 

200 bouts, winning over three 

fourths of them. Houck was 

never knocked out and was 

knocked off his feet only three 

times. 

Although he was never recognized 

as middleweight champion 

of the world, Houck defeated 

both George Chip and Johnny 

Wils'bn several times. Both Chip 

and Wilson later became titleholders 

but they never gave 

Houck a crack at the laurels 

while they ruled. 

Houck won the middleweight 

title of Europe when he decisioned 

Harry Lewis of Philadelphia 

in a '20 round battle in France in 

1912. He took over the Canadiar 

middleweight crown by defeating 

Roddy McDowell at Halifa> 

in 1919. 

In 1922 Leo gained the lighl 

heavyweight title of Cuba by 

scoring a fourth round knock-out 

over the Cuban Esparagara. The 

great Gene Tunney's record oi 

eight straight KO's was spoiled 

by Houck in 1919 when he fought 

Tunney in a no-decision bout. 

Leo repeated the feat the following 

year in a battle which caused 

Tunney to go into temporary retirement 

because of a smashed 

hand. 

During his 16 years of professional 

boxing Houck gained victories 

over Mickey Gannon, Gunboat 

Smith, Frank Mantell, 

Young Erne, Kid Locke, Dave 

Smith, Bob Moha , Jimmy Gardner, 

Chip, Wilso n, Lewis, and 

many others. 

"The Doctor" retired in December, 

1922, and became boxing 

coach at Penn State. His teams 

have won seven EIBA titles since 

the tourneys began in 1924. 

Houck has developed 39 individual 

eastern champs and three 

national collegiate title holders. 

Stahl, Gault Top 

Lion Riflemen 

Riflemen Co-captains Ben Stah 

and Gil Gault have compiled th< 

best individual averages for th< 

Nittany Lion marksmen. Stah! 

has a .952 average in 29 game; 

and Gil Gault followed him with 

a .944 in 26 games. 

Averages were figured on the 

basis of the number of matches 

each member shot and all of hi; 

individual scores, much the same 

as baseball averages. However 

riflemen's averages are much 

higher because of 300 and 400point 

matches.

'Doctor Of Pugilism ' 

Leo Houck, Lion boxing mentor 

and host to the seventh 

NCAA tournament, was the uncrowned 

middleweight of the 

world. He defeated both George 

Chip and Johnny Wilson before 

they gained the title but Houck 

never gained a title bout. 

Nittany Lions involved In First Dual 

Eastern And National Boxi ng Meets 

Three firsts—the first intercollegiate 

dual meet, the first national 

tournament and the firsl 

eastern tourney—have fallen tc 

the credit of Nittany Lion boxers 

and have brought Penn State tc 

its present position as one of the 

leading colleges in fistic circles. 

State's participation in the first 

dual meet was purely accidental. 

In 1919, the Lions entered a 

tournament in Philadelphia but 

when the boxers arrived in the 

Quaker City they found that all 

the other teams, .with the excepttion 

of Penn, had decided not to 

compete. 

Two teams can't very well hold 

a tournament so 'the country's 

first collegiate dual meet was 

scheduled on the spot. Six bouts 

were held, Penn winning four 

and Penn State the other two. 

That meet put intercollegiate 

boxing off on the right foot and 

the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing 

Association was organized in 

1921. The first EIBA tournament 

was held in the Penn State Armory 

in 1924, the Lions annexing 

the first of their seven eastern 

team championships. 

In 1932, when the National 

Collegiate Athletic Association 

woke up to the popularity ^ of 

boxing, the first national tourney 

was scheduled to select U. S. 

Olympic finalists — and again 

State was chosen to play host. 

Seventy-five fighters, representing 

30 colleges, entered the 

1932 nationals. Penn State played 

the perfect host, walking off 

with the unofficial team title.

now Harvard grid mentor,

McAndrews Brothers 

Boxed 9 Straight Years; 

Fought At Every Weight 

For nine consecutive years— 

from 1928 to 1936—there was not 

a single Penn State boxing team 

withoua a McAndrews. Moreover, 

the McAndrews boy fought 

just about every weight-they had 

in those days; seven in all. 

This pugilistically inclined clan 

consisted .of three brothers, 

Marty, John, and Francis. Marty, 

the-oldest, is still here, coaching 

the freshmen football squad. 

Marty McAndrews boxed 160, 

175. and heavyweight in his three 

years on the varsity, from 1928- 

1930. . He was captain of the 

team ano EIBA 175 champ in his 

senior year. 

John followed Marty in his 

path of glory at Penn State. He 

fought 135 and 145, and was captain 

in 1933. John captured the 

EIBA title at 135 in 1932 and 

1933. 

Francis, the" youngest of the 

three brothers, was the "black 

sheep' of the family. He was 

unable to win an EIBA championship 

nor become captain of 

the team. The last and lightest 

of the McAndrews fought 115 

and 125 in his three seasons here, 

1934-1936. \

the well-recognized "figure of' a 

man who is said.to havei participated 

in moire boxing matches 

than any other living man. .!. 

He is . Charley . Short, nationally 

known-professional, collegiate, 

and amateur boxing referee, 

who has been the "third mferi'' in 

well over 20,000 bouts , and has 

boxed in 300- professional -bouts. 

Having spent over half, of his 

46 years officiating, Short Ire4 

fereeing career antedates by a 

short time the rise of organized 

collegiate and amateur boxing. 

His yearly officiating : average, 

counting collegiate dual meets 

and tourhamentSj amateur.-tournaments, 

army tournaments, and 

professional bouts, adds , up _ to 

about. 1000 bouts, or ,20 a week. 

His great reputation and popularity 

among collegiate boxing 

fans and participants lies in .the 

Tact that he is one of the quickest 

referees to save - a beaten ¦ man 

from punishment by stopping the 

fight and rasing the hand ;of the 

victor in recognition of a • technical 

knockout. Because of his 

swiftness in halting a bout-in 

which a contestant is injured, he 

has never had a fatality in any 

fight in which he has officiated. 

Born in. Galeha, Mo.,' Charley 

started to " box when he was 

about 15 years old and still in 

high school. He entered the University 

of Missouri, but stayed 

only a short time and didn't 

bother with other colleges to 

which his parents tried to send 

him. 

He boxed on the.Pacifi c'Coast 

with varying success until 1917 

when he enlisted in the army. 

Ending- with a second lieutenants 

commission, he wentr to', work? in 

the Philadelphia shipyards after 

his discharge. 

In 1822 he began: his officiating 

career and "3s?;n"ow. listed; as 

the premier referee on the staff 

of the Maryland : Athletic Commission. 

He has refereed between. 

12,000 and 14,000 bouts in

New Hospitaliz ation Plan 

Defeated By Faculty 

The proposed plan for extending 

1 group hospitalization to dependents 

of College employees 

has been defeated according to 

John. T. Law, secretary of the 

American Association of University 

Professors. 

Failure to adopt the plan was 

based on the results of a faculty 

questionnaire'which showed that 

the project is not favorable to 

the necessary 75 per cent-of College 

employees.

By BUD SMYSER 

Three thousand miles is a 

long way to travel for .'i shellacking 

that lasts six minutes ot 

less, and the 24 Westerners in 

the national boxing tourney arc: 

aware of that. In fact, 12 o( 

their number copped medals , to 

show they meant business. 

Fate is easy on the boys who 

lasted into the semi-finals and, 

even though they lost their 

semi-final fight, they could 

count on a medal to take home. 

Every semi-finalist gets a medal 

and thus, as early as Thursday 

night, it was decided that 

this would be tonight's division. 

Of the 24 Westerners entered, 

12 get medals; of the 21 South - 

erners, 14 get medals; while the 

East with 21 entered gets only 

C medals, 3 of these going to 

Penn State. 

Second, third and fourth 

places in the national tournaments 

are automatic, going to 

the semi-finalists who fail to 

take the . crown. The defeated 

finalist gets second place. The 

man who loses to the champion 

in the semi-final gets third 

))lace, and the man who loses 

to the runner-up in the semifinal 

gets fourth place. 

Team championships are 

wholly mythical, determined by 

reporters and not the NCAA. 

The generally accepted basis for 

scoring is five points for first 

place, three for second, two for 

third, and one for fourth. 

Idaho won last year, and 

Wisconsin reigned the year before. 

State's only title was 

captured when the Lions had 

two national champions in playing 

host to the first national 

tournament back in 1932. 

Although the tournament is 

starting its tenth year, 'it was 

allowed to lapse from 1932 to 

1936 and for that reason this 

year's bouts are called the seventh 

annual. 

The failure of the Easterners 

to win better than six places 

out of 32 reflects in some measure 

a decline in the quality of 

Eastern boxing, partly due to 

stricter eligibility rules. 

However, the best the East 

has to offer—Syracuse's array 

of five Eastern champions—failed 

to enter the tournament. Had 

they participated, the East 

might have won a few more 

laurels but even so it is doubtful 

if the Orange would have 

been enough to stem the tide 

of the South and the West.

Entered Pro Mil 

Since the inauguration of boxing 

here in 1921, Perm State has 

become renowned as the "jump - 

ing off" place for professional 

pugilists, five in' all. 

Most -prominent of these is the 

currently famous Billy Soose, 

who began his professional career 

in 1938 after being barred 

from further intercollegiate boxing 

because of his semi-pro 

record. 

Having beaten both Tony Zale 

and Ken Overlin. the NBA and 

New York Boxing Commission 

titleholders respectively, in overthe 

weight matches. Soose has 

been signed to fight present'title 

holder Ken Overlin at Madison 

Square Garden, May 23. 

Steve Hamas '29, only five - 

letter man in the history of the 

College, won distinction as a pro 

boxer toy knocking out Tommy 

Loughran. This was one of the 

few times in Loughran's career 

that he was KO'ed. 

Hamas also met Max Schmeling 

twice before the German 

heavyweight became champ. The 

State 'boxer won in their first encounter, 

but was beaten so badly 

in their second meeting, in Germany, 

that he was forced to ' retire. 

Allie Wolff, who has the distinction 

of being the only boxer 

to captain the team twice, was 

a middleweight in the punch-forpay-game 

for a while after graduation. 

Wolff was a cagy boxer, and 

was hardly ever hit in the course 

of a fight. He fought several bouts

Two National Champions 

Entered In 135 Division 

Fight fans should see plenty of 

action in the 135-pound competion 

in this year's NCAA boxing 

tournament as two champions 

and a runner-up battle for .the 

title. 

Gene Rankin, Wisconsin's 

lightweight, won the crown in 

1939, but dropped out of competition 

last year. Johnny Joca, 

colorful Florida boxer, won his 

title last year. Both boys are entered 

in the current national 

tournament. 

Neither champion is expected 

to have easy sailing, however, 

with ringmen entered in the 135pound 

class, all with excellent 

records. They include Less Coffman, 

Washington State, runnerup 

last year; Joey Church, Miami 

University boxer who handed 

Joca his only defeat in two 

years; Gene Tudor, West Virginia 

star who is undefeated in 

seven dual meets this year; and 

Harry Deal, brilliant puncher 

from Southwestern Louisiana Institute.

Idaho Mittmen 

Win Team Title 

SW, la, Second 

By BUD SMYSER 

Idaho's four-man team produced 

three champions to upset 

the dopesters and retain its mythical 

national crown in the finals 

of the NCAA boxing tourney 

in Rec Hall tonight. 

Fighting off *a strong Southwestern 

Louisiana bid. Idaho 

barely edged the pre-toumament 

favorites, by placing three 

kings: Co-captain Ted Kara at 

120-pounds winning his third 

crown. Co-captain Frank Kara 

at 127-pounds, who took fourth 

place last year; and Laune Erickson, 

who repeats as 165-pound 

king. 

Previous national ' team champions 

were Idaho in 1940; Wisconsin 

in 1939; Catholic University. 

Virginia, and West Virginia 

deadlocked in 1938; Washington 

State in 1937; Syracuse in 1936;and 

Penn State in 19321 . All but 

Syracuse were entered again this 

year. - — 

': < :Idatht) ViEaTas^'TedV-a tii20r"and-- Frank; at 127,. took the first two 

national titles by repeating their 

dual meet victories over Southwestern 

Louisiana's two entries, 

Don Harper at 120, and Ed Ourso 

.at 127. Ted had an easy time winning 

his. third crown but Frank 

barely edged Ourso and there 

was considerable booing from the 

crowd. 

Smiling Gene Rankin, Wisconsin 

135-pounder, rallied in the 

third round of his quest to regain 

the title he vacated after 

1939 and managed to overcome 

a lead that Coffman, Washington 

State, had built up with looping 

-founds in the first two rounds. 

The decision was unpopular. 

Floored m the first and second 

rounds, Bob Baird, State 145pounder, 

failed' to recover until 

the very end of the fight and lost 

to Elton Tobiasson, of the California 

Aggies. 

Rodney Belaire, LSU puncher, 

nearly kayoed Billy Roth. Wisconsin, 

with furious rushes several 

times in their 155-pound 

championship and the methodical 

Belaire easily won out. 

Laune Erickson, Idaho's defending 

champion at 165, had the 

team title in his hands as he started 

against North Carolina's Elden 

Sanders. Both boys fought furiously 

but Erickson's right hand 

told the story and he clinched for 

Idaho its second successive team 

championship. 

Paul Scally and Washington 

State's Red Speigelberg warmed 

up in the last two rounds of their 

175-pound championship, both 

jabbing and pulling their lefts. 

Scally had the edge. . 

In the' heavyvyeight, Louie 

Campbell of Southwestern Loui- ^ 

siano beat Gates Kimball of North 

Carolina; . " 

The first round was close with 

both boys slugging hard. 

In the second Kimball' was 

knocked down. The third round 

was Campbells. 

After the bouts, the Goodman 

Boxing Trophy was presented to 

Paul Scally and a special award 

was given to Mrs. H. Kara, the 

mother of Idaho's two champions.

With DICK PETERS 

Ted Kara, Idaho's 120-pound 

ace and co-captain of the Vandals 

slugging outfit, claims that the 

biggest thrill he ever got out of 

the leather business was the time 

he forgot the oath which athletes 

take before competing in the 

Olympic games. Kara, who was 

captain of Uncle Sam's 1936 boxing 

team, got half way through 

the oath and had to start over 

again.

from his job at one of the local 

restaurants, up to Rec Hall for

his uniform. Little Jack is 

quite a boxer himself , but hasn't 

had time to get out for the sport 

this year.

Bobby Baird, Lion's finalist in

Ted Kara, in retaining his 120pound 

crown against Don Harper 

of Southwestern Louisiana 

for the third consecutive year, 

was a smooth boxing machine as 

he had been throughout the entire 

tourney. HaVper tried hard, 

but the Idahoan was just too 

polished an article. 

• * * 

When Rankin won his title tonight 

he was added to the list 

of two-time winners in NCAA 

competition. The Badger ace 

was 135-pound champ in 1939, 

but didnt defend it last year. He 

himself eliminated Johnny Joca, 

Florida, who had captured the 

diadem in 1940.

The new electric scoreboard 

in Rec Hall, was one of the most 

interesting highlights of the 

three-day session. A great help 

to the spectators, the only drawback 

we found was that some of 

the participants kept their eyes 

on the clock, which may or may 

not be good. 

* * * 

Baird's comeback in the third 

round after being nearly knocked 

out in the first two stanzas, 

was a thriling affair, but to no 

avail. The lead piled up by Tobiasson 

in the early rounds took 

Baird's chances for a national 

crown, but the State crowd accepted 

the fair decision in a creditable 

way.

Paul Scally, Lion 175-pounder, 

added his name to the roll of 

Penn State national boxing 

champions by defeating Fred 

Speigelberg, Washington State, 

in the finals of the seventh annual 

NCAA tournament in Rec 

Hall last night. 

Bobby Baird, only other State 

finalist , lost to Elton Tobiasson, 

California Aggie, by a decision. 

Scally-Speigelberg 

With the home town fans 

wildly cheering . him, Scally 

opened his fight jabbing to Speigelberg's 

head. The round opened 

up with a flurry of blows, but 

slowed up towards the end. 

Scally tossed a few lefts, followed 

by a looping right before the 

bell sounded. 

The Washington State light 

heavyweight came out in the 

second round, bobbing and 

weaving for an opening which 

he was unable to find. Scally 

caught him on the ropes and 

rocking Speigelberg's head with 

three rights. 

Speigelberg's right hand started 

to find its mark about the middle 

of the round and he landed 

rshort nota'tirSeally*s "midsection. 

The Penn State crowd was 

ready for anything as the bell 

rang starting the last round. The 

West Coast star started sharpshooting 

his long right into Scally's 

middle, but the Lion senior 

kept his left in Speigelberg's face. 

At the bell, pandemonium 

broke loose in Rec Hall: When 

the decision was announced, 

hoarse throats were roared hoarser. 

Baird-Tobiasson 

The first round opened with 

both Baird and Tobiasson cautious, 

but they soon started mixing 

it with a vengeance. Bajrd 

opened a slight cut over the 

Californian's right eye, but referee 

Joe McGuigan permitted 

him to go on. 

Baird landed hard several 

times to the midsection, but Tobiasson 

countered with stiff lefts 

to Baird's head. Near the end 

of the round, Baird was floored 

by a hard left jab but was able 

to get up again almost immediately. 

Action started fast in the second 

round, with Tobiasson landing 

hard rights to Baird's head. 

Baird landed only occasionally to 

Tobiasson's stomach. 

The third round saw Baird, in 

a tremendous attempt to wipe out 

the margin Tobiasson had established, 

rushing the Californian. 

Tobiasson managed to keep Baird 

from doing much damage, but in 

the last minute of the round, 

Baird scored with rights to the 

head. At the end of the round, 

Rec Hall was in an uproar over 

Baird's strong comeback.

Colleges Told 

Deferment 

Is Their Job 

;WASHINGTON, March 27— 

raft 

Local Boards 

Often Disaaree 

By JOHN A. BAER 

One cause of uneasiness 

among students who expect ' to 

receive new draft classifications 

in June is the wide variance in 

decisions of local draft boards. 

This variance can be shown 

very readily by the following 

example. Two roommates, junior's 

in the same eastern medical 

college, were classified by 

different draft boards. Although 

they were, practically of equal 

ability, one was given II-A status 

(occupational •> deferment) 

and permitted to continue his 

education. 

The other was • classified as 

I-D (blanket student deferment) 

which forces him to report 

for service at the end of 

the current scholastic year. 

Although the inconsistency of 

classifications is a grave problem, 

it is a natural consequence 

of the way in which local draft 

boards work. They have full 

authority. They are not bound 

by strict rules from Washington 

but merely by general suggestions 

which often do not apply 

to individual cases. 

An attempt is being made to 

correct this but there are approximately 

6,500 local boards 

and any change in the draft machinery 

takes time.' However, 

definite policies are being set up 

as fast as possible.' 

The American Council on 

Education through the Subcommittee 

on Military Affairs is 

helping in this work by taking 

a national survey of decisions 

affecting college students. Incomplete 

results show that it 

may be wise for Selective Service 

officials to take one of two 

courses: 

1. The first alternative would 

be for officials to issue definite 

regulations governing deferment 

of men in essential occupations 

or students who are 

preparing for those occupations. 

This would be the more simple 

method for it would require no 

changes in the Selective Service 

Act, only a different interpretation 

of the existing law. 

2. The second course would 

be for Congress to enact new 

legislation requiring deferment 

of "essentially employed" persons. 

This, Congress is reluctant 

to do because it would 

probably start a hundred unnecessary 

deferment bills rolling 

up Capitol Hill. 

In either case, there should 

be a satisfactory solution of the 

problem of student deferments.

Houck Had Long 

Pro Ring Career 

The boys call Boxing Coach 

Leo Houck "the honorable Doctor" 

and the title is well bestowed. 

Leo earned his doctorate of 

pugilism in the college of experience. 

He was an honor student, 

too, a Phi Beta Kappa in the art 

of boxing. 

Leo Fred Florian Houck started 

his professional boxing career 

in 1907. Before he retired from 

the-ring in 1923, when he took 

over as boxing coach at Penn 

State, he fought approximately 

200 bouts, winning over three 

fourths of them. Houck was 

never knocked out and was 

knocked off his feet only three 

times. 

Although he was never recognized 

as middleweight champion 

of the world, Houck defeated 

both George Chip and Johnny 

Wilson several times. Both Chip 

and Wilson later became" titleholders 

but they never gave 

Houck a crack at the laurels 

while they ruled. 

Houck won the middleweight 

title of Europe when he decisioned 

Harry Lewis of Philadelphia 

in a 20 round battle in France in 

1912. He took over the Canadiar 

middleweight crown by defeating 

Roddy McDowell at Halifa> 

in 1919. 

• In 1922 Leo gained the lighi 

heavyweight title of Cuba bj 

scoring a iburth round knock-oul 

over the Cuban Esparagara. The 

great Gene Tunney's record oi 

eight straight KO's was spoiled 

by Houck in 1919 when he fought 

Tunney in a no-decision bout. 

Leo repeated the feat the following 

year in a battle which caused 

Tunney to go into temporary retirement 

because of a smashed 

hand. 

During his 16 years of professional 

boxing Houck gained victories 

over Mickey Gannon, Gunboat 

Smith, Frank Mantell, 

Young Erne, Kid Locke, Dave 

Smith, Bob Moha, Jimmy Gardner, 

Chip, Wilson, Lewis, and 

many others. 

"The Doctor" retired in December, 

1922, and became boxing 

coach at Penn State. His teams 

have won seven EIBA titles since 

the tourneys began in 1924. 

Houck has developed 39 individual 

eastern champs and three 

national collegiate title holders. 

Stahl, Gault Top 

Lion Riflemen 

Riflemen Co-captains Ben Stah 

and Gil Gault have compiled th< 

best individual averages for the 

Nittany Lion marksmen.. Stab 

has a .952 average in 29 game: 

and Gil Gault followed him with 

a .944 in 26 games. 

Averages were figured on the 

basis of the number of matches 

each member shot and all of his 

individual scores, much the same 

as baseball averages. However 

riflemen's averages are much 

higher because of 300 and 400point 

matches.

'Doctor Of Pugilism' 

Leo Houck, Lion boxing mentor 

and host to the seventh 

NCAA tournament, was the uncrowned 

middleweight of the 

world. He-defeated both George 

Chip and Johnny Wilson ..before 

they gained the title but Houck 

never gained a title bout. 

Nittany Lions Involved In First Dual 

Eastern And National Boxing Meets 

Three firsts—the first intercollegiate 

dual meet, the first national 

tournament and the first 

eastern tourney—have fallen tc 

the credit of Nittany Lion boxers 

and have brought Penn State tc 

its present position as one of the 

leading colleges in fistic circles. 

State's participation in the first 

dual meet was purely accidental. 

In 1919, the Lions entered a 

tournament in Philadelphia but 

when the boxers arrived in the 

Quaker City they found that all 

the other teams, with the exception 

of Penn, had decided not to 

compete. 

Two teams can't very well hold 

a tournament so the country's 

first collegiate dual meet was 

scheduled on the spot. Six bouts 

were held, Penn winning four 

and Penn State the other two. 

That meet put intercollegiate 

boxing off on.the right foot and 

the "Eastern Intercollegiate Boxr 

ing Association was organized in 

1921. The first EIBA tournament 

was held in the Penn State Armory 

in 1924,.the Lions annexing 

the first of their seven eastern 

team championships. 

In 1932, when the National 

Collegiate Athletic Association 

woke up to "the popularity of 

boxing, the first national tourney 

was scheduled to select U. S. 

Olympic finalists — and again 

State was chosen to play host. 

Seventy-five fighters, representing 

30 colleges, entered the 

1932 nationals. Penn State played 

the perfect host, walking off 

with the unofficial team title.

now Harvard grid mentor,

coach , took over the job.

McAndrews Brothers 

Boxed 9 Straight Years; 

Fought At Every Weight 

For nine consecutive years— 

from 1928 to 1936—there was nol 

a .-single Penn State boxing team 

withoua a McAndrews. Moreover, 

the McAndrews boy fought 

just about every weight'-they had 

in those days, seven in all. 

This pugilistically inclined clan 

consisted of three brothers, 

Marty, John, and Francis. Marty, 

the oldest, is still here, coaching 

the freshmen football squad. . 

Marty McAndrews "boxed 160, 

175 and heavyweight in his three 

years oh .tn ' e'vafsrî from 1928- 

1930. • He was captain of the 

team ano EIBA 175 champ in his 

senior year: 

John followed Marty in his 

path of glory at Penn State. He 

fought 135 and 145, and was captain 

in 1933. John captured the 

EIBA title at 135 in 1932 and 

1933. 

Francis, the youngest of the 

three brothers, was the "black 

sheep''of the family. He was 

unable to win an EIBA championship 

nor become captain of 

the- team. The last and lightest

tournament this weekend will J>? 

the well-recognized figure of' a 

man who is said to hav.e participated 

in more boxing matches 

than any other living man. 

He is Charley Short, nationally 

known professional, collegiate, 

and amateur boxing refer.ee, 

who" has been the "third man" in 

well over 20,000 bouts and. has 

boxed in 300 professional bouts. 

Having spent over.half of his 

46 years officiating, Short re- 

Cereeing career antedates . by. a 

short time the rise of organized 

collegiate and amateur boxing. 

His yearly officiating average, 

counting collegiate dual meets 

and' tournaments, amateur , tournaments, 

army tournaments, and 

professional bouts, adds up to 

about 1000 bouts, or 20 a week. 

His great reputation and popularity 

among collegiale boxing 

fans and participants lies in .the 

fact that he is one of the quickest 

referees to save a beaten man 

from punishment by stopping the 

fight and rasing the hand, of the 

victor in recognition of a technical 

knockout. Because of his 

swiftness in halting a bout . ir 

which a contestant is injuredj he 

has- never had a fatality in anj 

fight in which he has officiated 

Born in Galena, Mo., s Charley 

started to box when he. was 

about 15 years old and. still .in 

high school. He entered the University 

of Missouri, but stayed 

only a short time and didn't 

bother with other colleges , to 

which his parents tried to send 

him. 

•¦ " " . ' " 

He boxed on the " Pacific Coast 

with varying success until 1917 

when he enlisted in the army. 

Ending with a second lieutenants 

commission, he went to. wsrk; in 

the Philadelphia -shipyards after 

his discharge. 

In 1-822 he began his officiating 

career and is now listed-" as 

the premier referee on the staff 

jf the Maryland Athletic Commission. 

He has refereed between 

12,000 and 14,000 bouts in 

Maryland alone. ' . . . 

New Hospitalization Plan 

Defeated By (Faculty 

The proposed plan for extending 

group hospitalization to dependents 

of College - employees 

has been defeated according to 

John T. Law, secretary of the 

American Association of University 

Professors. 

Failure to adopt the plan was 

based on the results of a faculty 

questionnaire which showed that 

the project is not favorable to 

the necessary 75 per cent of College 

employees.

Organized collegiate boxing, 

which: came into national" prominence

has progressed steadily since 1921 

when Penn State, Navy, M.I.T., 

and Penn first organized the Intercollegiate 

Boxing Association. 

-' During the war,-Dr. J, E. Raycroft, 

of Princeton, was in charge 

of training camp activities of the 

War Department. Through his efforts, 

boxing became one of the 

most popular sports among service 

men, and ¦ after the war, this 

interest was carried over by the 

influx- of soldiers into colleges. 

: The first college boxing match 

on record took place in 1919 when 

Peon defeated -Penn State. ' 4--2, 

in Philadelphia. In 1922 and 1923, 

boxing 'became an outstanding 

pport in' Eastern colleges ' and in

intercollegiate tournament, which 

was held at State College.

By BtfD SMYSEH. 

Three thousand mi Leu is a

that lasts she minutes Oi 

It'ssj and the 24 Westerners lithe 

national boxing tourney ars 

aware of that. In fact, 12 o! 

their number copped, medals, tc 

show they meant business. 

Fate is easy on the boys wh«j 

lasted into the semi-finals and , 

even though they lost their 

semi-final fight, they could 

count on a medal to take home. 

Every semi-finalist gets a medal 

and thus, as early as Thursday 

night, it. was decided that 

this would be tonight's division. 

Of the 24 Westerners entered, 

12 get medals; of the 21 Southerners, 

14 get medals; while the 

East with 21 entered gets only 

C medals, 3 of these going to 


Second , third and fourtlt 

places in the national tourna - 

ments are automatic, going to 

the semi-finalists who fail to 

take the crown. The defeated 

finalist gets second place. The 

fnan who loses to the champion 

in the semi-final gets third 

place, and the man who loses 

to the runner-up in the semiiinal 

gets fourth place. 

Team' championships are 

wholly mythical, determined bj 

reporters and not the NCAA. 

The generally accepted basis foi 

scoring is five points for first 

place, three for second, two foi 

third, and one for fourth. 

Idaho won last year, and 

Wisconsin reigned the year before. 

. State's only title was 

captured when the Lions had 

two' national champions in playing 

host to the first national 

tournament back in. 1932. 

Although the tournament is 

starting its tenth year, it was 

allowed to lapse from 1932 to 

1936 and for that reason this 

year's bouts are called the seventh 

annual. 

The failure , of the Easterners 

to win better than six places 

out of 32 reflects in some measure 

a decline in the quality of 

Eastern boxing, partly due to 

stricter eligibility rules. 

However, the best the East 

has to offer—Syracuse's array 

of five Eastern champions—failed 

to enter the tournament. Had 

they participated, the East 

might have won a few more 

laurels but even so it is doubtful 

if the Orange would have 

been enough to stem the tide 

af the South and the West.

5 Stale Boxers 

Entered Prof ini 

Since the inauguration of boxing 

here in 1921, Perm State has 

become renowned as the "jumping 

off" place for professional 

pugilists, five in all. 

Most prominent of these is the 

currently famous Billy Soose, 

who began his professional career- 

in 1938 after being barred 

from further intercollegiate boxing 

because of his semi-pro 

record. 

Having beaten -both Tony Zale 

and Ken Overlin. the NBA and 

New York Boxing Commission 

titleholders respectively, in overthe 

weight matches. Soose has 

been signed to fight present title 

holder Ken Overlin at Madison 

Square Garden, May 23. 

Steve Hamas '29, only fiveletter 

man in the history of the 

College, won distinction as a pro 

boxer toy knocking out Tommy 

Loughran. This was one of the 

few times in Loughran's career 

that he was KO'ed. 

Hamas also met Max Schmeling 

twice before the German 

heavyweight became champ. The 

State boxer won in their first encounter, 

but was beaten so badly
