BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Everything from dancing, honey
dipped co-eds to herculean athletes
and from sirupy warbling to mill
tary maneuvers, with a basket ball
game and boxing match tossed in
will be presented tonight at College
Park as Maryland stages its lengthy
and attractive "all-university night
program before an anticipated ca
pacity crowd
Preceding the display of pageantry
mirroring the various channels into
which students may pour their
after-school enthusiasm will be a
bit of basket ball business involv-
ing the Terps and v. M. l., while
following the % events that will con-
sumo approximately rs minutes will
be ring tiff between Maryland and
Rutgers.
In the only other collegiate at
traction here, Catholic University's
boxing team, which launched its
season amid sympathetic moaning
and wailing, is favored to decorate
its highly creditable ring record with
another victory at Brookland gym
in completing its swatting for the
year against North Carolina State.
Battle Royal at C. U.
Catholic U. also will have some
thing of a sideshow as additional
bait for its boxing card, ringing
down the curtain on its sockine
season with cow bells. Three foot
ball players will equip themselves
with one boxing glove and COW
bell each and go to work on each
other blindfolded. Battle royal rules
hastily arranged for the occasion
state the bells must be employed
only to reveal whereabouts-not as
weapons.
Maryland's boxing team still is un-
defeated after four matches, al
though actually victorious in only
one instance. That triumph ma
terialized in its first scrap, against
Duke. Since then it has been tied
successfully by Catholic u, Virginia
and North Carolina and Coach
Heinie Miller isn't in a merry mood
about it.
Consequently, Rutgers, which lost
to Cornell and Coast Guard Acad-
emy before troancing Temple last
week, is in for a rough evening
Coach Miller has made mild altera-
tions in MarylandD lineup, shifting
Bob Lodge into the light-heavy-
weight spot, moving Morton Stein
bach, regular 175-pounder, into the
heavyweight berth, and nudgine
Herman Raisin, former heavyweight
representative, out of a job.
The entire Terp squad, however
has been dealt collective and indi-
vidual tongue lashings for a lacka-
daisical display last week at North
Carolina. Miller fondly is hoping
his outfit will reveal their readiness
for the Southern Conference tourna-
ment next week at Columbia, s. c..
and the sorely needed improvement
it must make before clashing with
Army at College Park the following
week.
Two Threats With Rutgers. i.
Rutgers, plagued by illness and
injury, boasts two of collegiate ring
dom's more talented punchers in
Joe Colonna, a 120-pounder who
never has been defeated in dual
meets and who travelled to the semi
finals of the national intercollegiates
last year, and Glenn Howatt, q
1ipht.heaVyWei0ht. who was a final
list in the 1898 national event.
Maryland will stand pat in the
lighter divisions, employing George
Dorr at 120 pounds; Bob Bradley,
127; Benny Alperstein, 1856; Nathan
Askin, 145; Frank Cronin, 155, and
Newton Cox, 165.
In v. M. I. the Maryland basketers
are facing their last Southern Con-
ference rival before the loop tour
nament at Raleigh, N. c., next week
A victory virtually will clinch second
