Plans Shift In Line.Up.

CoACH LA FOND plans to make
u one or two changes in his team
:. for tonight. It is probable that
Mix, instead Of La Sale, will box
in the 145-pound division and that
Red Orth will take up the burden
in the heavyweight bout. The C.
u. coach says that he had intended
keeping Orth out Of all bouts to
have him ready and at his best for
the meet with Maryland. but prob
ably will throw him in against Ponte-
caryo, the Western Maryland star,
to give him experience. Hes a
pretty good chap" said La Fond in
speaking OF his new heavy's chances.
Orth fought through to the cham
pionShip last year in the intra-
murals between Georgetown, Cath
olic University and Maryland.
Whatever happens in the bouts
tonight La Fond Is not conceding
the Western Marylanders a thing.
In Restaino, Thibodeau, Oliver and
Fleming the Brookland coach thinks
he has likely winners, with two Of
the other bouts pretty close to
standof1s.
TN ANOTHER local dual ring meet
tonight Columbus University's un-
defeated boxing team will enter
tain Springfield College at Tech High
School in the last match on the
Shippers schedule. Action is slated
to begin at s o'clock.
Columbus will be seeking its seventh

circle. incidentally, and unless SPRING
nelds team is Of surprising calibre,
should gain 1t. This season the local
team has won both Of its starts, de-
3eating M. I. T. and Villanova, while
IN 1882, when the last Skipper team
competed, four straight victories were
recorded.
Springfield has several outstanding
battlerS on the squad and should give
the local boxers a stiff tussle. Capt.
Eddie Camel, lightweight, Is rated
the most formidable of the visiting
team, but Fred Loo, 135-pounder;
Vincent Bradford, 165-pounder, and
Henry Walmsley, 175-pounder, also
are highly regarded.

JACK HARMONY, Maryland boxing
coach, Is just as optimistic about
his meet with Virginia as La Fond
1s about the one with Western Mary
land. Harmony Is not conceding Vir-
ginia q single victory, although he
thinks that the most difficult bout
MS men face Is in the 125-pound
class against Rainey. 1t is Harmony's
opinion that every bout, from the time
Jimmy Young steps into the ring
with the brilliant Archie Hahn until
the two heavyweights wind up the
evening, will be nip and tuck affair
with hairline decisions.
Under such conditions, despite the
fact that Harmony does not concede
any bout, it would seem that the meet,
from Harmony's viewpoint, is pretty
much Of q toss UP. This is not in
line with opinion Of experts who have
watched Virginia in its victorious
march this season, as they feel as
does Virginia, that the final result
should be to 3 in favor of the Cav
alters. Anyway, not within the mem
ory OF those that always have fol-
lowed college boxing has there been
any other dual meet in the South
enat has aroused so much interest.
Maryland Trackmen Step.
n KARYLAND'S relay team and
uN Widmyer, its star sprinter, are
In New York today to compete
In the New York Athletic Club meet to-
NIGHT at Madicoy, Co,,ore rarl... rr,..
Olo Line relay four Is to run against
Yale and either Pennsylvania or
Princeton, while Widmyer is to take
part In the invitation sprints
The relay team should come mighty
close to victory, and Widmyer ought
also to stand chance, though such
slight factors determine the winner
in the kind Of sprint competition faced
up there 1t would be foolish to try to
pick any one man, even If he seemed
Q little faster than the others.
George Washington and Mary
land are the only local college basket
ball teams playing on their home
floors. The former with Western
Maryland In the G street gym
nasium and the latter with Wash
tngton and Lee.
The Colonials apparently are con-
biderably stronger than Western
Maryland, but Maryland certainly
has no better than an even chance
ogainst Washington and Lee, If 1t has
that.
