COLLEGE PARK, Nd, Feb. 10
Amid the spangled carnival atmos-
phere of its 9Th annual -Univer-
sity Night" program, Maryland
boxing and basket ball teams
registered overwhelming victories at
Ritchie Coliseum here tonight. An
overflow audience of $500 wit
messed the Terp boxers smother
Rutgers, 61l-11a, and the Old Line
quint rout v. M. l., 53-35.
Three technical knockouts were
scored in the six fights that
materialized and on the strength
OF Maryland's improved showing
Coach Heinie Miller announced he
would take seven men to the South
ern Conference tournament next
week at Columbia, S. c.
Bob Lodge will not make the
trip, with Morton Steinbach re-
placing him in the 175-pound class
Maryland will not enter a heavy
weight.
Maryland's boxing triumph left
the Terps with an unblemished
record, it previously having de-
feated Duke and tied with Catholic
University, Virginia and North
Carolina.
Rutgers Forfeits Two.
Rutgers entered the boxing match
with 20 deficit, electing to forfeit
135-pound and 165-pound divisions
to the talented Benny Alperstein
and Newton Cox, respectively,
rather than risk injury to mex
perienced representatives.
Copper -Thadehed George Dorr.
Maryland 120-pounder, was given
draw with Joe Colonna, but through
what medium was mystery to the
crowd. Colonna repeatedly man
euvered inside DORIS wild southpaw
socks to connect with rights to the
head. stunned Dorr in the first
round and apparently gained an
edge in the second and third ses-
sions.
Choosing to stand toe-to-toe and
slug it out, Bob Bradley and Bill
eager, Rutgers, 127-pounders, ex-
hausted themselves in hectic but
harmless bout, with Bradley grasp
ing the decision. Bradley's blows
located Gager's head frequently and
although dealt some punishment,
was not shaken by Gager's glancing
punches.
Askin, Cronin Stop Rivals.
Nathan Askin, Maryland, 145-
FOUNDER, wasted little time in dis
posing of an all-equipped George
Wolverton, ripping crushing blows
to the head of the Rutgers fighter
to gain a technical knockout victory
after one minute and 40 seconds OF
the first round.
Captain James McInerney, ref
cree stopped the scrap after VOL
verton had absorbed dozen crisp
clouts on the chin and offered moth
ing in return. 'Wolverton was not
floored.
Easily scoring his fifth successive
triumph, Frank Cronin, Terp 155-
FOUNDER, poured both gloves into
the anatomy of Louis Gambosi to
win by a technical knockout. Gam
bosi stood up and took Cronin's best
blows. but he wasn't returning any
and Bud German, Rutgers coach,
refused to allow him to answer the
he1l for the third rOllnH
Although he sandwiched frequent
stiff rights to the head Of Glenn
Howatt, national intercollegiate
light heavyweight finalist last year,
Maryland's Bob Lodge wilted in the
third round and, after he had been
smacked all about the ring Referee
McInerney stopped the bout
The game Lodge staggered How
att several times but on each occa-
sion the experienced Rutgers IT'S
FOUNDER came back with an assort-
ment of jabs, hooks and right
crosses.
Steinbach Wins Heavy Bout.
Morton Steinbach, who replaced
Herman Raisin in the heavyweight
class for Maryland. easily won his
argument with David Kutliroff,
tossing a succession of annoying
jabs into the Rutgers representa-
tive's face.
Kutliroff's ring equipment was
crude and he failed to disturb the
angular Steinbach with his side
arm swipes.
