Duke Five
Favored
To Win
GLOVEMEN EVEN
Winter Season Opens
With Fine Card
For Fans
Rx CHICK KENNY


First of the University of Mary
lands famous Saturday night
double sports offerings Is slated
this evening when the Terps en-
tertain Duke University in the
Ritchie Coliseum in both branches
of sport-the fast game of basket
ball and then the manly game Of
boxing. The cage battle is set to
start at o'clock with the mitt
singing to follow.
Both attractions are major ones
for Maryland, and should, by hook
or crook, the TerpS make a clean
sweep of things tonight, winter
sports stock of the locals will GER
tainly hit some sort of new high.
EVEN-MONEY BET
Both affairs, from a general and
unbiased point of view, take on
the nature of a tosSup. It's a
cinch, from past performances this
year, that the dribble outfit is on
par with the invading Blue
Devils, and as this is the opening
test for boxers, you can't let them
down and vote for the Durham
Dukes, despite the fact the in
vaders already have two wins
tucked in the record book this
semester.
Naturally, it is the boxers who
hold the center of interest tonight.
Since the football season, Major
Heinie Miller, coach of the Terra
pin thumpers, has been stating
that he just hasn't got it this sea-
son, but despite this wailing there
is the sneaking suspicion of the
writer that Maryland will give q
good account of itself and may
possibly take this opening match
tonight.
CERTAIN WINNERS
Maryland has Benny Alper-
stein, national collegiate light
weight champion on deck, and Red
Dorr, crack flyweight, who bid
fair to be certain winners. With
this pair of point winners it is
necessary for the good major to
turn in a 500 average in the re-
naming six bouts to clinch the
match.
A sure victor for the Devils is
Capt. Danny Farrar, who will fight
tonight in either the 145 or 155
pound division. Farrar is a for.
mer national collegiate champion
at 145, and is said to be cunning
for a return to the championship
this year by easy steps up the dual
meet ladder.
Wilton Mann and Swede Vim
cent, middleweight and lightheavy
for Duke University, respectively,
are possible winners, and should
they come through, Maryland will
still hold the edge in the final
reckoning-on paper.
CAGERS HAVE CHANCE
A match win for Maryland may
be decided in the opening bout Of
the evening when Bobby Price,
veteran 115-pounder, stacks up
against Red Dorr. The result Of
this match may be forerunner
of the ultimate result. Both mitt.
u16n are hSyulCA 4OI GAAC4 ISSpCCe
tive teams and both have the
stuff to pound out win.
AS far as the basketball end of
the evenings entertainment is
concerned, Maryland played a
bangup game against powerful
Georgetown Wednesday night
and, although the Terps lost by
a goodly margin, there is plenty
Of possibilities in the lineup to
stack up against the best of floor
teams.
They say that the Devils did
not appear any too potent against
the Naval Academy last week in
losing 43 to 30. However, Duke
defeated Richmond University
the other night. and Maryland
has already been defeated by the
Virginia Spiders. And as basket
ball has gone completely screwy
this year in more ways than one
you take your pick.
