{. u, Maryland
Ringmen SET

The Catholic University and
University of Maryland boxing
teams will taper off with train
ing, starting tomorrow for their
all important match in the C. U.
gym Saturday night, which will
probably set a new high in indoor
boxing in the District.
Never before has so much in
tereSt been stirred up in a local
college winter sport attraction as
the ring meeting between the
TerpS and the Cardinals.
The match marks the first en-.
gagement for the Marylanders,
while C. q. will be returning to
the wars, which were so rudely
jolted last Saturday night in the
Cardinal baliwick, when North
Carolina State opened the C. U.
boxing campaign with a SO de
ciSion.
Rebuilding Team
OF course, Coach Eddie La
Fond is in the process Of rebuild
ing his Redbird ring corps. Last
season he had a fine team built
around such stars as Captain
Eddie Thibodeau, 1876; Tom Oil
yer, 1855, and the indicated pair,
Angelo Restaino, 1876, ana Red
Fleming, nghtheavy. However,
these almost certain bout winners
have graduated, and La Fond has
had a tough time prevailing upon
various athletically inclined mem
bers of the C. U. student body
to come out for the team.
From the result Of the North
Carolina match, Cardinal sup
porters ascertained that several
members Of the green troup bear
a world Of promise.
Outstanding Player
Outstanding perhaps are Ferdi-
nand Rydzewski, the light-heavy-
weight performer who popped his
opponent on the button in less
than two rounds; Sully Greco,
who needs a little more training
to make him a top flight per
former in the 155-pound division:
Texas" Guinan, a 115-pounder
who may come through in the
ma;ority Of his tits, as soon as
he starts wading into his adver'
sary, and Carman La Sale, 1856
pound biffer who needs the same
sort of bolstering rs his team
mate, Guinan.
Maryland has a veteran outfit,
built around the double barreled
leather pushing Of Ivan Nedomat-
sky, 155-pound ace; Mike LON
bardo, 165-pound star, and Walter
Webb, 145-pounder. The old
Liners are basing their hopes OF
pounding out q win on this trio
of veteran performers, plus a
probable win in the 1925 and
heavyweight divisions.
