FIVE TERPS LEFT
FACE TOUGH FOES
Citadel Slightly Favored as
Tournament Enters Semi
final Stage.
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Maryland's chances Of successfully
defending its Southern Conference
boxing championship today appeared
simmer than the ham in drug store
sandwich. for the Terps' five remain
ing combatants were pitted against
some Of the Journeys most authori-
tative punchers in the semi-finals at
College Park.
Benny Alperstein, Maryland's ma
tional intercollegiate lightweight
champion who shrunk to the feather
weight class. was rated the only Old
Liner likely to survive semi-fnal
feuding, which was to get under way
at 2:30 o'clock. Benny was to face
Dick Bagnall of The Citadels favored
team
Joe Henderson, Maryland heavy
weight, was slated to stack up against
Hugh Rogers of The Citadel, while
Newton Cox, Terp 1e5-pounder, was
to meet the hard-hitting Rex VIII
liams of South Carolina and Nathan
Askin, Maryland lightweight, was to
fuss with Chuck Kasik Of Duke. Dick
johnson, Old Line 155-pounder, was
to trade blows with another persuas-
i've puncher in Russell Dorm.
The Citadel's powerful team loomed
slight favorite to succeed Maryland
on the strength of placing six men in
the semi-finals after preliminary
skirmishing last night. The Bulldogs
are assured at least three points, since
Johnny Hughes, 115-pounder, has ad-
vanced to the final round, through the
medium of q bye and forfeit, without
launching q blow.
Clemson, South Carolina and Mary
land inserted five men each into the
semi-final round, but four of Mary
lands entries reached that stage
through byes and the Terps were de-
cided underdogs In every engagement
today except the Alperstein-Bagnall
bout. North Carolina qualified fouI
fighters, while Duke placed three.
The tourney championship still Il
as uncertain as Hitler,s next move
however, for semi-finals placed con-
tenders against more contenders and
it Is likely The Citadel, South Carolina
Clemson and possibly Duke will enter
the final round tonight at 8 O'Clock
still In the running.
