McClelland nicked Henderson freely
with right to the head, but the Terp
mysteriously remained on his feet to
hear the decision 60 against him.

BY the grace Of q rather dubious
decision. George Dorr. Maryland's
1l5-pound clouter, placed Maryland
in front by trouncing Willie Morri-
son, former Eastern High track ath-
lete. Morrison's crisp right-hand
blows were equally as effective as

one minute and seven seconds OF the
