THE Terps and Cavaliers split even
in the matter of individual boxing
upsets Maryland's George Dor1
carved out a decision victory over
Johnny Simpson, a local lad who cap
tured the Southern Conference BAN
tamweight championship Veteran
MAYNARD Harlow trounced Benny Al
persteln. last years national intercol-
legiate lightweight champion.
Dorr. who last week whipped the
previously lmdefeated Dave Bernstein
of Catholic University, employed
vicious counter punches to the head
to earn the verdict, while the short
armed Harlow merely walked into
Alperstein and dealt the Maryland lad
q decisive if not brutal shellacking.
Apparently undisturbed by the per-
suasiveness in Benny's paws, the
clean-cut Harlow speared Alperstein
solidlv with both hands. The slightly
bald Benny, while weaving and rolling
nicely in avoiding HarloW'S climaXing
blows, never found the range and
missed many intended finishing pokes
Maryland advanced down to the
light heavyweight argument at a 3-3
draw but Lewis Schmidt, Virginia s
national intercollegiate 175-pound
champion, erased the Terps' fond
hopes of registering an upset by nick
ing the courageous but comparatively
ill-equipped Blackie Pearson rather
freely to grasp the decision.
Schmidt Floors Pearson.
CCHM1DT, a stocky blond with a
murderous punch, tioored Pearson
for no count in the first round with a
solid right in the jaw and again
dropped the swarthy Maryland lad in
the second round for count of nine
with the same dose.
Bill Weeks. Virginia heavyweight
then removed Marylands possibility
of recording a draw by outmaneuvering
Joe Henderson. Henderson, a pom
derous blond, was clipped almost at
will in the second session by success
sion Of eft jabs, but it was close
enough for the decision to be greeted
by a crescendo of booes.
Johnny Kushner, Virginia feather
weight, pumped both hands to the
head to grasp the decision over Bob
Bradley, but Nathan Askir. Mary
land lightweight, swatted Dick Will
llams frequently enough to take the
verdict in the following engagement.
Askln concentrated on the midsection
in the second round. but shifted to
the head effectively in the third canto.
Truman southall, Cavalier 1855
FOUNDER, placed Virginia in front at
80 by pecking Dick johnson with
annoying lefts and crossing authorita-
tive rights, but Johnny Egan, Mary
land 165 pounder, evened matters at
3-5 by outclasslng John Miallard

Terp Court Pair Brilliant.
IT WAS individual brilliance rather
than cohesive team work that cap
tured the basket ball victory for Mary
land. but the double dose of johnny
Mccarthy, former Eastern High
athlete, and George Knepley, sharing
IN starring roles, proved highly ef-
fective in the gallant uphill struggle
that beat the defending Southern
Conference champions.
Maryland thus remained in the
running for bid to the conference
tourney. which is comprised of the
eight leading teams, and dealt Wash
ington-Lee its second loop setback in
six engagements.
While Mccarthy was unable to dim
the scoring eye of the amazing 6-foot
T-lnch Bob SpesSard, he nevertheless
countered in the most telling manner
by pocketlng four field goals in the
frst half to keep the Terps abreast
