JOHNN|ES JOLT
MARYLAND

Quite an upset as collegiate fol
lowers, both at Maryland and
elsewhere will tell you today.
The subject is the Maryland
st. Johns. Of Annapolis, game last
night at Ritchie Coliseum, College
Park, Md.
The score was 81 to 80. Mary
land made a gallant attempt to
snatch the game out of the fire
in the final moments Of play, but
the task proved too great. The re-
suit? st. Johns ambled back to
Annapolis with one of the sweet
est victories under its belts in
years.
At half time, the Johnnies had
worked themselves into a 19-to-16
lead. This advantage was never
topped during the remainder of
the way although Maryland made
a battle of it most every minute.
Buddy Mcclure, Russ Kilmore
and Carl MacCartee were the
stars for st. Johns Mcclure
scored II points, Kilmore, 10 and
MacCartee, S. Yowell was high
for Maryland with 9 points.

game last night in the American

defeated 40 to 18 in another of

I Gotta Go, Gotta Go
By BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Combin-
ing business with his lifelong
search for q three-horse parlay,
your ambassador to the land Of
the bathing beauties is off for
Florida tomorrow evening to see
If it's as good there this year as
he's been hearing. First he wants
to take peek at that Glenn Cum
ningham-Bill Bonthron Baxter
mile in the New York A. c. games
in the Garden, after which any
time the conductor calls "all
aboard for Dixie" it will be al
right with him.
They say tn Playground Of the
World" is a little ball Of fire this
season, and that a man can find
his fun wherever his nose leads
him. Personally have seen
tougher places than Miami or
Palm Beach or St. Pete in the
winter, when they are at their
worst. But like the little girls
who go down there to get sun
tanned, when they're good they're
very very good. And the chances
are q mans a sucker to be worry
ing about Vienna with Miami only
36 hours away.
Humanitarian Motive
Besides which there is a great
humanitarian motive behind my
expedition to the Everglades. I'm
going down to give the poor
downtrodden horse players a few
pointers. A semi-retired horse
player myself, I seel it my duty
to return to the turf now and
then and give the new crop Of
incurable optimists a lift.
Only a few minutes ago I was
reading Damon Runyon's inside
dope on how to play the horses.
With no better guide than Damon
to follow, you can imagine the
predicament in which the Messrs.
Bannon and Kelton, Farrell and
Endor, Albertanti and Feldman,
Bernie and Kannen, Leigh and
Phillips, Stevens and Curry, Vail
and Campbell, Gimbel and Han
nagan, Burdine and La Gorce,
and others of my friends down
there must find themselves by
this time.
Why Runyon is o shotgun

q horse breaks from that barrier
that he hasn't got 81 on, they
should call the race off and
rerun it.

BOESCH ROPES
TWO MARVELS
IN MAT co

Paul Boesch is being hailed as
the locked rope wrestling cham
pion today-locked rope meaning
getting an opponents head twisted
between the upper and lower
strands of the rope which conSti-
tuteS the wrestling ring.
For Boesch not only subdued
Lee Collins, his foe, in this man
ner last night at the auditorium
but Collins manager, Bill Lewis,
as we'll.
Collins tried for more than IA
minutes to unmask the Marvel.
Finally he turned the mask
around which kept Collins from
navigating. And being so success
full in this he twisted or locked his
head between the ropes.
The Marvel's manager, also
masked. injected himself into the
proceedings. He didn't like the
idea Of Boesch "tying" his man
up in that manner. Whereupon
Boesch "tied" Lewis in the ropes
also and while Lewis was gaSplng
for breath, he unloosened Collins
and threw him on the mat for the
decision.
