LANDS Black and Gold
~ garmented boxers tested
and found in perfect work.
Ing order last night one of sport
doms most wearable axioms-"a
good offense is the best defense.
Still another hardy group of Old
Liners, the basket snipers, took
the same axiom and reversed it to
read "the better defense Is a good
offense," and found the result
quite In step with the boxers.
The combined result was a 37-to-21
victory for Maryland over v. P. rs
court quint and a 6-to-2 triumph for
the Terp leather-pushers over a aame
Virginia Poly ring team before a crowd
OF approximately 3,700 spectators In
the spacious Ritchie Coliseum at COL
lege Park.
Coach Burt Shipley trotted out a
Maryland quint with a clicky zone de-
fense which time and again broke I'D
v. p. rs attack and enabled the Old
Liners to bolt down the floor ahead Of
the thwarted Blacksburg, Va. colleg-
lans The shooting and passing Of
Snipleys flve was ragged at times, but
so well did the Old Liners defense
work that the losses of the leather
spheriod through misaimed shots and
passes became almost negligible by
comparison.
Lieut.. John w. Harmony paraded
forth q potent boxing team more in
clined to sock rather than box, but the
results obtained matched that of the
basketers. The leather-pegging Old
Liners captured six of the eight bouts
from the v. p. I. mittmen, one by a
clean kayo and another Of the techni-
cal variety.
TIE Old Liners victoy over v. P. I.
i was their second of the season,
Maryland having previously scored
In Blacksburg by 1920 count Last
nights tilt, however, found the Cob
bler's more stubborn foe, although the
visitors gained the lead only once and
that was short lived
Rufus Vincent, star Terrapin center,
gave his club a flying start when he
Gagged two field goals in rapid success
sion few seconds after the opening
victory over v. NJ l., conqueror of
| Maryland, still were in the game, how
ever, and gained lead of to z mid
way the first half. It was the first and
only time v. P. I. held the lead for
Maryland rallied to lead, 16 to II, at
half time, and proceeded to step On
the gas in the second period to win 60
ing away.
v. P. rs attack was practically all
stored up in Buster Hall, forward, who
Gagged half a dozen field goals and Q
pair OF fouls for a total of IA points.
His individual performance, however,
was not q match for the combined eff
forts OF Marylands Vincent, Corky
Snyder and Roy Yowell
The game was fast, rough affair,
featured by the defensive play Of Mary
land and the often brilliant shooting
of Hall of the Gobblers.
" P. I. drew first blood in the
v. squared circle when Stroud, lis
FOUNDER. defeated Earl Edwards,
Maryland's fyweight. in an extra
round battle. Edwards, a tall. thin
youngster, flashed potent, flicking left
In the first round but neglected to use
1t in the latter rounds. In rhe second
round Stroud knocked Edwards down,
but the Terp was on his feet before
Referee Heinie Miller could begin
count. Edwards gained an even break
In the third session. but Stroud belted
the Old Liner about the ring in the
fourth and last round, Miller awarding
the bout to the Blacksburg, Va,
leather -pegger
Harry Carroll. clever Maryland 125
FOUNDER. knotted the count when he
decisively outpointed Spence of v. NJ I.
In a egulation-length contest. Spence
was an easy target for q straight,
jabbing left, and that blow was in
cluded in Carroll's repertoire. The
first round was fairly even. but Carroll
demonstrated marked superiority in the
second and third sessions
Harold Burns put Maryland ip front
when he outlasted Al Yaggi of v. P. I.
in the 135-pound engagement. Yaggi
had a shade in the first round. but
Burns, peppering away at the Virgin
ian'S face, drew claret from Yaggi's
nose in the second and third rounds
with his sharp punching.
IT took Capt Bernard Keener of Mary
land only one round to fanthom
Buck Tyler'S southpaw style in the
145-pound class bout. Keener, who has
lost only two bouts in two years, had
his difficulties in the first heat, but in
peatedly and after / minute and 20
seconds of the third round he sent
Tyler to the canvas for a count of 10.
1t was clean knockout and the crowd
gave the Old Liner and his opponent q
rousing cheer as they left the ring.
Monty Jones, Maryland's 155-pounder,
found the southpaw style not so easy to
solve and. after putting MuSsey Of
v. p. I. on the floor in the first round,
was In turn sent to the canvas in the
second round and the loser by a techni-
cal knockout IN the third round. Mus
sey had Jones groggy and after 1 min
ute and 2 seconds Lieut.. John w.
Harmony, Maryland coach. tossed in a
towel. Mussey's victory brought the
score to three for Maryland and two
for v. p. l.
7 YMAN McABOY, former Eastern
II High School athlete. carried a per-
petual grin and plenty of guns in
| the ring against Hardy, v. P. l. 1885,
FOUNDER and easily won a torrid three
round decision. McAboy pounded his
foe continuously around the midsection
to give Maryland its fourth victory out
Of six bouts.
! Stewart McCaw, 175-pomder Of the
Old Liners, accounted for fifth Terra
pin victory when he scored q technical
knockout over Yorke after IS Of the
| third round. Yorke, who was fioored
| for no-count In the second round, was
almost helpless in the final heat and q
towel came flying from the v. P. !. cor
ner.
A couple Of foot ball players clashed
In the final event, the heavyweight
scrap, and capped the action filled
double-header with four tcrrid rounds
Al Farrell, District A. A. U. heavy
champion and Maryland's representa-
| tive, gained the decision over the Cob
bier heavy, Reds Negri, but he was
forced to earn it In an extra round.
