' most of the opposition the
local college teams will get
the remainder of the week, play
ing Catholic University, George
Washington and Maryland in
basket ball and meeting the
BrooklanderS in boxing.
All of the basket ball games will be
played here, but the boxing match will
be staged at Blacksbrg.
The Gobblers will play the Cardinals
tomorrow, the Colonials Friday and the
Old Liners Saturday. However, it
doubtless will be the boxing match be-
tween Maryland and Western Mary
land that will be the second part Of a
twin-bill at College Park Saturday
night that will attract main attention.
Virginia Poly has not been going SO
well on the court and its quint figures
to take three beatingS here.
This afternoon there are lot Of
Washington folk, Georgetown followers
and others who will be at Annapolis
to see the Hoyas tackle the Navy
basketers. Play is slated at o'clock.
HARYLANDS unexpectedly good
IV showing in boxing against Vir-
ginia Military Institute last week,
where it won six bouts out of eight,
has given the team some confidence for
it's tilt with Western Maryland, al
though the Terrors will be favorites.
Two weeks ago the Old Liners sup
porterS felt they had no chance against
the sterling group of boxers who are
to represent Western Maryland, but
now they feel they should at least
make a good showing with an outside
chance of winning
The two strongest boxers Maryland
will face are Bernie Kaplan in the IT'S
pound class and Pontecarvo in the
heavyweight. The former was not
whipped last season in any dual meet,
while Pontecarvo is said to have been
something of star even before he
entered Western Maryland.
Marylands best chances should be
in the lighter weights, although Nc
Cav, who fights IN the 175-pound class,
has won both his bouts this year by
knockoutS
GEORGETOWN supporters are in
" clined to think the Hoyas will
take" Navy at Annapolis this
afternoon. The Hillt0ppers have played
nine games and have won only four of
them, while Navy has broken even in
two, defeating western Maryland and
losing a hot tilt to Duke.
Georgetown, though, showed its met
tie on trip the past week end, up
setting Carnegie Tech and losing
tough two-extra periods battle with
West Virginia.
WITH the Catholic University track
" meet certain to be held, local
high schools and colleges, as
well as other colleges and high schools
In this section, are putting in renewed
door track teams.
Without the c. u meet local schools
would have had little to work for, and
probably made little or no effort to put
teams on the track this Winter.
1t virtually is useles for high schools,
and for most of the colleges, to send
teams to the big Northern meets, be-
cause of the high type of competition
to be met. and meet such as that at
G u. where they should have a chance
to score points and win medals, is
big boon.
TT HAS been known for some time
that Virginia felt it would have
another great boxing team, and the
way it cleaned up Harvard last Satur-
day seems to show that it knew pretty
we'll how things would line up
The Cavaliers actually had little trou-
BILE whipping the Crimson, and are
banking highly on going through their
schedule without losing a meet. They
should come pretty close to doing that.
too, deszite the fact that Navy is one
Of the teams on the list.
DRINCETON has adopted boxing as
an intercollegiate sport, and is ar
ranging schedule. In all prob
ability when the Tigers meet Yale in
the ring it will take hall as big as
the Yale field house to hold the crowd.
Practically every big school in the
East now has boxing team, and the
sport seems to be growing and coming
back into greater favor than it was
three years ago, probably because it is
better controlled.
