In a boxing meet with Duke Uni

MARYLAND came from far behind

ming the last three bouts, but the
basket ball game was an even thing all
the way. Not until near the close OF
the first half did either team hold more
than a three-point advantage, with
Maryland ahead in this instance. The
half ended with the Old Liners out
front by % to II.
From the standpoint of foul shooting
it was a remarkable contest. Georgia
had nine opportunities for one-pointers
and missed cnly one. Maryland mace
good IL times in Is shots.
In the last analysis, however, 1t was
the expertness not only from the charlty

player to appear this season in Ritchie
Coliseum. His throws seemed to have
eyes for the basket. He tipped field
goals from all angles and at hot mo-

free mark with accuracy and four
double -deckers were included In his
streak. Moore had been Georgia's

Rufus Vincent. center, was Mary
lands expert rif1eman, with six field
goals and four fouls for a total Of Is
points. He shared honors generously
however, with Bucky BuScher. bril-
liantly passing guard, and Spider Chase
and Bob Snyder, forwards.
IN the best boxing bout, Bernie
/ Keener suffered his first defeat Of
the season at Maryland. 1t was
nothing to be chagrined over, though,
for his conqu7ror was Leroy Sides,
who holds decision over Garner CT

Keener with roundhouse right and
the latter's head bumped the floor with

Floyd Ridick. spidery 115-pounder
got the Blue Devils away to a winning
start by stopping Earl Edwards after
a minute and 43 seconds. Referee
Heinie Miller stepped in to prevent un-
necessary punishment for the Terra
pin, who didn't know how to handle
