81 make good showing
~ in the boxing match
with Washington and
Lee Saturday night, but should
stand just about an even chance
to win" is the opinion expressed
by Coach Whip of the University
OF Maryland boxing team, when
asked point blank what kind of a
team Maryland would have in its
f1rSt attempt at intercollegiate
boxing. Not only that, but our
fellows are ready to go, and three
OF them are ready to stand up and
teke 1t with the best of college
boxers I've seen in recent years.
Maryland's boxing match with Wash
mgton and Lee will be a part of a double
bill IN the College Park gymnasium Sat
uroay night. The Old Liners meet Vir-
GINA Polytechnic Institute in basket
pan and, as Whip stated, Washington
Ynd Lee In boxing. That the local
school is strong enough to give v. P. /
q battle-or any other five. for that
matter-ls well known, but that its
chances in the boxing match were about
out so unreservedly with his opinion
that his men are not by any means on
the short end
Just what three of his seven boxers
Whip thinks stand so high was not
mentioned, but it is known that he has
an exceptionally good opinion of
Ksener, his welterweight. OF him
Wnlpp said last year, when he first
began TO train the Marylanders: ANY
lbody that beats this chap Keener will
have to be better fighter than I've
ever seen represent any Southern uni
versity. He's got the same killer instinct
In ring that made Dempsey world
champion" Which. if one should ask.
Is rather complimentary statement
considered from the angle of the prize
ring.
Will Be Seven Bouts.
The full seven bouts which constitute
an intercollegiate match are to be run
on. Maryland will be represented in
the bantamweight class by Lake. in the
featherweight by Decker, in the light
weight by Isemann, in the welterweight
ny heener. middleweight by Mech, light
heavyweight by Robbins and in the
heavyweight by Holloway. All are from
the State Of Maryland except Isemann,

II Is the present intention to begin
the basket ball game at 7:30 and the
boxing match at $50. It will take
from half to three-uuarters of an hour

ew1n be that delay between the court
and boxing contests.

CEORGETOwN lost a basket ball
~ game to Army yesterday at West
Point which at the end of the half
seemed almost certain to wind up in
the Blue and Gray list of victories
When the time ended for the first half
Georgetown was leading by % to IL,
. margin that apparently was secure
enough for any contest.
However, the second half showed an
almost complete reversal on the mart
Of both teams. Georgetown slunped
horribly and Army spurted. In the
second half Army scored 20 points
against 2 for Georgetown, with the
final result 81 to 80.
ANYBODY who watched that first half
would not have given a plugged nickel
Tor Armys chances.
Emil Bo7ek led the Georgetown team
IN scoring with 10 points on goals
from the floor. Morris and Shea each
scored points. Kruger was high man
for Army with 10 points Arrnv's mar
gin in the total was in a single goal
from the foul line. Each team made
~ field goals.
