eran. to start his team off with a
victory.

even first round, both pumped hard
rights and lefts in the second and
held a fast pace to the end.

glnla's Ben Jacobs and Maryland's
Bob Bradley went three rounds to a
draw. Both landed effectively in

was the 135-pound scrap between
Dick Williams of Virginia and Ben
Alperstein, national collegiate cham
plon. Although both mixed beauti-
fully through the entire duration of
their contest, the Old Line ace
punched a little harder and dis
played more ring craft to win the
decision.

scrap between Truman Southall,
pride Of the Virginia team, and
Frank Cronin, Maryland track star
who recently turned boxer, was a
victory for the Terp by decision. 1t

right to win clear margin.
