Box for Title

DURHAM, N. c., Ftb. 19.-Both
holding victories over North Caro-
lima State, boxers Of Duke and
North Carolina will meet in Duke
gym tonight for 1887 ring laurels
of the Big Five.
Dukes great crew Of leather
pushers, undefeated for three
years, rank as pre-meet favorites,
but there are many who forecast
that the two outfits will battle
to a A tie.
Duke supporters feel that they
have three sure winners in Capt.
Jack Kneipp, Danny Farrar and
Ray Matulewicz, while Tar Heel
fans see certain wins from Joe
Murnick, julie Medwin and Max
Novich. The other two bouts, in
the lis and heavyweight berths,
loom as toSs-ups.
Mann VS.. NOvich
OF the card there are three
fights that look, in pre-meet fig
uring, to be a trio of as fine exhi-
bitionS as have been staged in
meets between teams of the two
institutions.
The headliner of these will come
in the middleweight class bringing
together Dukes AL Mann and Car
olina's Max Novich. Both OF the
boys are seniors and have met once
before-in the semi-finals of last
years conference tournament and
Novich came out with hair-line
decision. He went on to win the
title. Novich is unbeaten this sea-
son while Mann has two knockout
victories after losing his first two
bouts by very narrow margins.
Another of the headliners should
be the 125-pound match between
Jimmy Little of Raleigh, Dukes
representative. and Joe Murnick
of Durham, Cardinals SouthpaW
glove-t -thrower. Both have turned
in fine performances this season.
155-POund Slugger
In the 155-pound berth, julie
Medwin, a great boxer and slugger,
will go against Wilton Mann or
Swede Vincent of Duke. Mann and
Vincent will fight it out for the
berth this week. Mann was out
last week due to a hand injury and
Vincent looked so good in his place
that he is going to get a try-out
with the Blue Devil veteran. Vim

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10. - With
three of its varsity teams contest
ing away from home, and the
basketball game with the Army
leading the list Of local attrac-
tionS, the Navy will present a
sport bill Of nine items at Annap-
oils tomorrow.
The usual spirit when Army and
Navy boys meet in any sport, may
be expected in the basketball
game. Neither team has won
against its stronger opponents,
but both have shown flashes OF
scoring power, which promise
plenty of point-making and a
dashing game throughout.
Some of those who met on the
gridiron field at Philadelphia last
fall will face again, including Bill
Ingram and Monk Meyers, the
ace backs of Navy and Army, re-
spectively. The Navy's lineup will
be: Capt. Bob Ruge and Alan
Mcfarland, forwards Frank
Lynch, center; Frank Shamer and
Bill Ingram, guards.
Navy Has Edge
The series now stands: Navy,
7; Army, 6. The game will start
at 2::30 p. m. in Dahlgren Hall,
with accommodations for just short

able" sign has been out since last
week.
Of almost equal interest to the
local contingent will be the match
with Penn State at State College,
Pa, which will close the boxing
season for the Navy. The Navy
has registered victories in all
three of it's starts in the ring thus
far, but will have the hardest job
of all when it meets Penn State.
Only the great record of Maryland
prevents the match from being
decisive of intercollegiate boxing
leadership this year.
Aquatic Tests
The Navy swimming and water
polo team will be matched against
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, and
there are eight events at Annapo-
lis, in addition to the basketball
game, with wrestling against Har-
ward and fencing against Yale
as the high points.
Other varsity events are gym
nastics with Massachusetts, Tech,
and rifle shooting against Lehigh.
The plebes have a good bill, which
includes swimming and water
polo against the Pennsylvania
frosh, basketball against Hun
School and a rifle match against
Mckinley High School, of Wash

Form. Y. Games
By LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-MoSt OF
this nations outstanding track and
field stars, and two from abroad,
were gathered here today in readi-
ness for the annual New York
A. C. games tomorrow night, which
will be run to the cheers of a
capacity crowd at Madison Square
Garden and perhaps to the detrl-
ment of existing records.
The meet includes all events in
the way of running and leaping
and tossing implements about the
premises, including such fixtures
as the Baxter mile, the Buermeyer
500, the Halpin half-mile, the two
mile run and all the rest, and they
call it the meet of records" be-
cause of past performances.
See Marks Shattered
Some marks may be shattered
tomorrow night, with apparently
the outstanding feature on the
program the mile event, festooned
in the moss of tradition and this
time bringing out a field that
might accomplish anything.
The field includes Glenn Cum
ningham, the indoor and outdoor
mile record-holder; Luigi BeccaH,
of Italy, Olympic 1,500-meter cham
pion of 1882 and third in the rec
ord-breaking Olympic 1,500-meter
race of 1886; Gene Venzke. ma
tional indoor I,50O-meter cham
pion; Archie San Romani, NCAA
champion, and Miklos Szabo, OF
Hungary, 1,500-meter champion OF
his own country,
Other notables who will put in
their appearance include John
Woodruff, the Negro student at
Pitt who refuses to run to form
but who also refuses to lose. He
is entered for the half-mile run
and brings another Olympic touch
to the proceedings. He won the
800-meter championship abroad.
Lash in TwO-Mile
He figures to take his event any
way he pleases-including running
backWardS-but other events, be-
sides the already mentioned mile,
figure to be close and uncertain
until the tape finally is ripped.
The two-mile race will find Don
Lash, the Indianan, trying to i'm
prove on the world record he set
at Boston a week ago, when he
travelled the distance in 8:58
Paavo Nurmi was slower than that
by few tenths.
However, the new Boston track
was figured as favoring runner
of the Lash type, while the Gar
den may work against him along
with the Rideout twins, Wayne
and Blaine, of Texas. and lesser
lights.
Moving over into the field
events, the outstanding feature
there undoubtedly will be the pole
vault, in which Sueo Ohe, Japan
ese champion and winner of the
outstanding performance in the
Millrose games, will compete
against Earle Meadows, the Olym
pic champion, among others.

Gonzaga Choice
Over ST. John S

Gonzaga has been installed the
favorite to defeat St. Johns to-

Catholic University gymnasium at
8:15 for the Catholic High School
championship.
Gonzaga needs only this win to
gain the title, having won two
games and lost none in league
play. st. Johns with two victories
as against one loss, can cop the
title, too, by triumphing.
Hence, a battle royal is in
prospect for the $500 or more fans
expected to attend. Gonzaga won
the last time the teams met, led
by Jim Boyle, Tommy Hanley and
Jim Walsh, all of whom will be
depended upon again tonight.
Johnny Swagart, who missed
the earlier contest, will be St.
Johns big timer tonight. Others
will be Johnny Reyes, Jimmy

Teams Engage
Central, WV.
In Series
By GARRETT WATERS

Getting as near the league lead
ing Eastern machine as is possible
at this stage of the interhigh bas
ketball series will be the aims OF
two teams in the double-header
scheduled at the Tech gym today
The two teams are Roosevelt and
Tech. Tech meets Central in the
opener at $3.50, while Roosevelt
lines UP against Woodrow Wilson
in the nightcap starting at 4;45
p. m.
The Riders have the best chance
of keeping pace. For they will be
meeting a Woodrow Wilson aggre-
CATION which has yet to win a
game in the series, and which is
still too unpublished to give any too
much trouble.
Case Different
Techs case is different. The
Trainers, despite the fact they beat
the powerful Western five last
week, will be meeting a dangerous
foe in Central-a team that's
given every opponent a battle
since the start of the series.
Rusty Thompson, coach, likes
the Grays' chances, however, and
has them on edge for a stubborn
showing. He will use the same
group which defeated western, III
Guiding Jimmy Vermillion, walton
Merchant, Stretch Mills, Tommy
Dobyns and Johnny Williamson.
Tech has won four games and
lost three in the series thus far.
The team has had its ups and
downs, it can be readily seen, but
with it all, has had enough class
on occasions to win when unex-
pected.
This particular class the Train
ers hope to carry through the re-
mainder of the schedule. One very
important clash is ahead after TO-
days test against Central. That is
against Eastern next Tuesday at
Roosevelt.
Second Place Aim
Even though a title is far out
of the reach of Thompson's aggre-
CATION, victory over Eastern
would afford great satisfaction.
For it would help in the teams
battle for Second-place honors, not
to overlook tEc fact it would bring
out Thompson's talents in develop
ing the squad to a winning pitch.
Thompson only recently took over
the team.
Central's lineup today will be the
same as in all other games in the
series. Sam Fox will be at center,
Billy Vermillion and Felix Silver
stein will hold down the back
court while Ralph Matera and
Charlie Clark will play the forward
positions.
RooSevelt's captain, Joe Conner,
will lead that team on the floor
against Woodrow Wilson. The re-
mainder of the Riders, Bill Fogel,
Ray Friedrich, Frank Bailey and
Blaine Wicklein, will go at top
speed to take it out" on Wood
row Wilson for the loss that befell
them at the hands of Eastern
in that three-period overtime
game of Tuesday.
