Maryland for the first time
exhibited its current fistic
edition here tonight before a
near-capacity crowd of 1000 spec
tators and while 1t failed to excite its
followers with visions of q rosy -hued
future, the green Terps nevertheless
fought a courageous, uphill battle to
tie Duke. a..
Maryland thus gained the upper
hand in the twin bill. with the Old
Line quint staving of Dukes deter
mined rally to win the basket ball
half Of the double feature, 40-35.
Maryland spurted into an almost pro-
hibitive lead in the first half and
appeared to be headed for an easy
victory. but the Blue Devils forced
the Terps to cling tenaciously to 4
narrow margin in the closing moments
Undefeated last year. Marylands
defending Southern Conference cham
pions were satisfied thoroughly with
their boxing draw. Coach Heinie
Miller's outfit in general lacked the
experience of the Blue Devils and the
stalemate generally was regarded as
. moral victory for the Terps.

nUKE. which was trounced by
South Carolina, favorite to dis
place Maryland at the top of the
Southern Conference heap this season,
5-3, at one time held Al lead over
the Old Liners and was a logical choice
to trim Maryland's Interchangeable
and heavyweight entries and take the
match handily.
Ed Lloyd and Joe Henderson. Mary
lands representative in those divi-
sions. came through with triumphs,
however. and the Terps thus gained a
highly pleasing draw
The most torrid action of the en-
tire program was unveiled in the 1861
pound bout. with Dick johnson of
Maryland and Orville (Swede) Vim
cent of Duke as the principals. Vim
cent gained technical knockout after
5ei7 seconds of the third round to
put Duke 2 up. but he was an ex-
tremely exhausted boy when the clout-
ing was terminated.
johnson. 24-year-old junior,
punched himself out In the first round
by nearly punching out Vincent. Dick
ripped both fists to the head for q
steady session. but Vincent weathered
the furry of blows and retaliated by
flooring the fading johnson for .
count Of eight in the first round.
Technical K.O. for Vincent.
n1CK nearly dropped in the second
round from sheer exhaustion, but
clipped Vincent with enough authori-
tative rights to the head to have the
Duke lad wavering. Vincent, push
ing forward necessarily, finally nailed
the weary johnson early in the third
round for another count of eight and
the fight was stopped. While john
son was prey for knockout. Vincent
hardly was in better condition
Lloyd. Maryland light-heavyweight,
then captured a close decision from
Tom Goode in an argument between
two lads who at times resembled
heifers attempting the big apple. The
wavy-haired Maryland sophomore's
nose was nicked in the second round,
but he fought back wildly and stag
gered the equally awkard Goode in
the same frame.
Henderson. youthful carbon copy
OF Vice President John Garner.
clinched the draw for Maryland by
getting the decision over stocky Louis
Brooks in the heavyweight fuss.
Brooks continual butting tactics,
coupled with Henderson's frequently
landing rights. threw the verdict to
the blond Terp.
Dorr Bows in First Bout.
ROBBY PRICE, wild-eyed Scranton,
Pa, senior. sent Duke away prop
erly by pounding out decision over
George Dorr, Maryland southpaw
entry In the 115-pound class. The
most decisive blow Of the fuss was
authQred by Dorr, but it landed be-
low the equator in the first round
and was q deciding factor in Referee
Ray Bowens verdict IN favor Of the
Blue Devil.
Dorr lost the first session on that
punch and Price outmaneuvered him
IN the second. The Terp redhead twice
staggered Bobby in the third round,
but Prices early margin and his head
withstood the battering.
Bob Bradley. whose chief exercise
With his right hand hitherto has been
piano playing, pushed it into Phil
Mitchell's face frequently enough to
register an easy decision victory for
Maryland in the l25-pound engage
ment.
The thin, towering Mitchell offered
no problem to Bradley after the OPEN
ing moment Of the first round. Bob
crashed . right cross to Phils nose
early in the second frame and the
Duke lads nose trickled blood stead
lily from that point. Fighting from
. shell. Bradley nicked the Rock
