While basketball teams OF the

floors. the collegiate brand Of box
ing is with us for another heavy
weekend.

win of the season. meeting Appa-
lachian State Teachers College in
Turner's Arena; Saturday night
1t will be Catholic U. slugg1ng 1t
out with Pitt with the hope OF
winning the match to wind up the
campaign undefeated.
At the same time the University
Of Maryland mittmen will be clash
ing with the Coast Guard Acad-
envy outfit of New London, Conn,
as a tune-up for the Southern
Conference tourney next week,
with the additional hope of pol
fishing off a team which is con-
sidered some shucks in college
circles.
From all appearances it looks
like Columbus tomorrow night
should have little trouble bowling
over the visitors from Boone. N.
C. The Explorers showed last
week that they have the where
with-all to give a good account
of themselves by the 80 shut
out victory over De Sales College
of Toledo with its collection OF
Golden Glove specialists.
LOST TO DUKE
Appalachian lost to Duke Uni
Versity several weeks ago for its
lone set back of the season. Since
then the team has come along re-
markably well and is prepared to
give Columbus the surprise OF its
life. It was rumored during the
fights last week that Appalachian
had a scout in the audience to
watch the Explorers whitewash
their Toledo opponents. But this
bit of news has failed to stir the
Columbus team.
Catholic US match with strong
Pittsburgh University is more than
Just a windup for the team. Vic

Coach Eddie La Fond and his
troupe an undefeated season.
The matches will mark the final
appearances Of Capt. Freddy Mix,

FOUNDER, and Leo Katalinas,

performed as regulars in their re-
spective weights for the last three
years.
It is believed that the match
between the Cardinals and C. C..
N. Y, slated for March 3 to wind
up the schedule, will be cancelled
before the end of the week. c. C.
N. Y, by a schedule miXup,
journeyed to Washington two
weeks ago to fill the engagement.
c. U. was meeting Duke at Dur
ham, N. c. that evening.
ONLY TRIP ALLOWED
Other commitments on March
8 make it impossible for the New
York team to meet the Cards, and,
In addition to this, C. C. N. Y. is
permitted but one trip in the sea-
Son-and the mistaken journey
here two weeks ago took care of
that.
Marylsnd's clash with Coast
Guard Academy looms as a tossup
affair, as next to nothing in ad-
vance has been received concern
ing the caliber Of the invaders.
The sailors had fine outfit last
season, but whether they are still
intact remains to be seen. Coast
Guard was recently defeated, 5-3,
by Yale one of the topnotch
squads in the East.
