nj three starts, University OF
v Maryland's undefeated boxers
undergo their first acid ring
test of the season tonight at the
Ritchie Coliseum when Penn States
powerful Nittany Lions, also unbeaten,
invade to headline two-ring sports
circus that is likely to surpass any
previous program to date for thrills.
In the other half of the act still
another undefeated combination. Uni
versity of Richmond's basket ball
quint, will seek its twelfth straight
victory of the campaign when Mary
lands five is encountered at o'clock.
Immediately following the court tus-
sic, Maryland's portable boxing ring
will be wheeled onto the floor and
the beak-nudging will begin.
Washington's only other collegiate
attraction tonight will find Columbus
Universitys new boxing team enter
tanning Villanova at 8:l5 o'clock in

week, will be seeking its second win
in as many starts.
Catholic UniverSity'S boxing team
will be the only local road" team.
The Cards will meet Virginia Military
in the Cadets ring.
VXIITH the exception of the forth
" coming meet with Virginia,
tonight's boxing meet with
Penn State is likely to be the stiffest
of the year for Maryland's glove jab-
bers. The Lions will present three
aces who are expected to gain as many
points in Izzy Richter, 1888 National
A. A. U. heavyweight champion; Capt.
Mike zeleznock, 125-pound intercol-
legiate champion, and Francis Nc
Andrews, who has beaten out Russell
Griswell, collegiate title holder, for
the 115-pound assignment.
McAndrews will oppose the unbeaten
Jimmy Young, zeleznock will face
either Bill Waller or Tom Birming-
ham and Richter will meet Carl Stall
fort.
Coach Jack Harmony will present a
new ringster in the 155-pound class in
Mike Lombardo, who will take over
the assignment held by Lyman Nc
Aboy, who will step up to the l65-
pound division. McAboy is one of
five unbeaten Maryland scrappers, the
others being Young, Ivan Nedomatsky,
Walter Webb and Stewart McCaw.
IA NYTHING less than the form
IN showed by Maryland's basket
ball team while trouncing Vir-
ginia last Saturday is likely to result
in whipping in the court game to-
night, judging from the record of
the invading Richmond Spiders.
Led by Capt. Roger (Bob) Leverton,
a former Central High boy, who also
is an outstanding Richmond foot ball,
base ball and track man, the Spiders
have won II straight games. Last
night they swamped the respected
William and Mary quint, 46 to 20.
Richmond has averaged better than
Is points a game this season, while
holding its rivals to an average
of %. No team has come closer than
nine points to the Spiders.
Maryland's team may have to worry
along with Bill Guckeyson, who has
been nursing a strained hgament in
his side. If Guckeyson is unable to
play, his guard post probably will be
taken over by Charley Keller AL
Waters and Bernie Buscher will be at
the forwards, Vic Willis will jump
center and Bill Andorka will take care
of the other guard job. Tickets for
the twin bill are priced at 81.
~ EsPITE their 71a to Y victory
| over M. I. T. last week, Colum-
bus boxers are certain to have
their hands full tonight against
Villanova, touted as one of the best
teams in the Pennsylvania sector. If
anything, the Wildcats will reign
slight favorites to win the meet
Probably the outstanding match of
the night will result from the match
ing of Capt. Leon Shub, Columbus
southpaw 135-pounderP and Ralph
Cost, crack lightweight of the Wild
cats.
All seats will be available on a first
come, first served basis at 40 cents per
customer.
@ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY will at
tempt to partially atone for its
decisive defeat of last week by
Duke, when it meets Virginia Military
tonight at Lexington, Va The Cadets
will be out to avenge 5-to-3 pasting
suffered last season.
A possibility that Capt. Eddie Thi-
bodeau, 135-pounder, would be un-
able to fight added to Coach Eddie
La Fond's worries, but the Cardinals,
even with the inexperienced Joe May
substituting for Thibodeau. are con-
ceded at least an even chance.
