2.-The Cavaliers of Virginia and the
Generals Of Washington and Lee
were no matches for an improving
University OF Maryland basket ball
qulnt, and as a hard-punching Ter
rapin boxing team here tonight at
the Ritchie Coliseum, and went down
to pair of defeats in Southern Con-
ference competition.
Utterly failing to show any of the
skill which netted them four victories
In a row previous to tonight's tus-
sic. Virginia's basket ball tossers alb
sorbed 44-to-24 lacing in the opener
OF a sports program witnessed by a
capacity crowd of 1000.
In the other half of the twin bill
Maryland scored its third consecutive
boxing victory by betting out 6-to-2
win over the Generals. The court
triumph enabled Maryland to pass
Virginia in the Southern Conference
standing. Up until last night the
Terps had a 500 record for four
games and the Cavaliers had an even
break for six starts.
Three technical knockoutS, all BY
Old Liners, marked the ring matches.
On the court Virginia never was
able to match the brand of basket
ball Maryland played.
Terps Get Good Start.
CTOCKY Jimmy Young gave Mary
y land flying start in the eight
bout boxing card with the Cen
erals when he deciSively outpointed
Dan Fallet in the 115-pound class.
Young, obviously in better shape, won
the first round by shade and then
belted his opponent to the canvas for
a count Of eight in the second round.
Fallet rallied in the third to hold
Young on even terms, but the damage
was done.
Wally Davies tied it up for Washing
ton and Lee in the 125-pound class
when he gained Referee Shorts de-
cision at the end of three closely-con-
tested rounds with Tom Birmingham,
fighting his first collegiate ring battle.
1t was nip-and-tuck battle all the
way, with Davies showing to best ad-
vantage in the first two rounds. but
with Birmingham staging a rally in
the third that all but earned him the
verdict.
Nedomatsky Still Hot.
MARYLAND wasted no time get
N ting back the lead, however.
for Ivan Nedomatsky, generally
considered the best looking ring pros
pect to show in local collegiate rings
in years, scored his third straight kayo
OF the season in the 135-pound bout.
At that, Brooks Skinner, his opponent
established a record for longevity
against Nedomatsky's mighty right
hand. Skinner lasted l minute and
40 seconds of the first round. Once he
dropped for a count of nine, but con-
tlnued until Referee Short. after per-
mltting half a minute more of the
one-sided battle, stopped the affair.
Walter Webb, Maryland's smooth.
boxing welterweight, increased the
lead to to 1 in the 145-pound scrap
by outpointing Hardwick Stuart, a
dead-game southpaw, in three rounds.
Webb clinched the bout in the second
round when he opened with barrage
Of rights and lefts to Stuart's face,
knocking the visitor to the floor for a
count Of nine. Stuart weathered the
storm. however, and finished boxing
strongly.
Washington and Lee bounced back
into the thick of things in a hot l55-
pound slugfest between Ed Jean of
the Generals and Harold Kelley of
Maryland. Kelley. a rangy blond,
making his first start, fought Jean on
even terms in the first round and
then bounced the visiting middle
weight to the canvas in the second
for a count of seven. Both boys had
been playing give-and-take on a toe
to-toe basis until Kelley landed a
short, jarring right to Jeans jaw.
The General, however, wasn't
through. Shaking the cobwebs from
his head, he arose, lasted the round,
and then rallied to defeat Kelley de-
cisively in the third round, flooring
the Terrapin for an eight-count.
McAboy Wins Thriller.
r YMAN McABOY of Maryland
IL grabbed another thriller in the
1OO-pOuUU CldSS, OuLlaStlnR
Capt. George Short of Washington
and Lee in a three-rounder which
found Short on the canvas for a
count of eight in the final. 1t was
an evenly fought bout up to the third
round.
Stewart McCaw started the custo-
mers toward the exits when he belted
out Jack Bailey, Washington and Lee
175-pounder, to clinch the meet for
the Terrapins. McCaw took q close
first round and then pounded Bailey
so hard in the second that Referee
Short stopped the bout after minute
is seconds of the second session.
Weight Fails to Tell.
THOUGH not playing an important
part in the score, the final bout
of the evening provided the real
fireworks. In that tussle 256-pound
Tubby Owings Of the Generals, with a
63-pound weight advantage over Carl
Stalfort, took the first round by a
wide margin, but called it quits under
fire after l minute IS seconds of the
second round.
