Columbus Ring Debut and Maryland Georgetown Basket Scrap College Card
Explorers, Tack|ing
Miami, 10 Present
Strong Lineup
Hoyus Hosts, but Borrow
Guests Gym to Stage
Contest Wednesday

1t is a nicely balanced intercolle-
giate sports diet on this weeks menu
with the Columbus University ring
teams debut and the Maryland
Georgetown court struggle topping
the bill.
Columbus, cloaked in its new
mantle as member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Conference, en-
cages Miami's migrating mitten-
manipulators Tuesday night at
Turner's Arena. The Terp- -Hoya
struggle is scheduled Wednesday at
College Park.
In all two boxing matches and
nine basket ball games-five for
home consumption-comprise the
card. It is so arranged that the
most avid fans can witness more
than half the events listed.
The week marks George Wash
ingtons return to action in brace
of court duels. Wednesday Bill Rein
hart's men trek to Annapolis for
game with the Middies at 4 o'clock,
and Saturday will be host to Vir-
ginia Tech at Tech High.
Strong Despite Loss of Talent.
Columbus, undefeated last season,
was hit hard by the loss Of five
veterans but expects to place an
other potent squad in the field.
Buddy Lazear, one of the hardest
hitting collegians in the game, will
lead the Explorers and will be sur
rounded by an all-star cast.
Phil Appel, clever bantamweight;
Stanley Stephenson, lightweight,
and Art Lane, heavyweight transfer
from Maryland, are other standouts
On the team Coach Jim Mcnamara
is whipping into shape. On Lane,
a 190-pounder with punch, hang
much of the Explorers hopes of
stopping the potent Floridians. In
previous years Columbus boasted
enough power in the lighter classes
to offset the absence of depend
able heavyweight, but the situation
Is reversed this winter.
One of the oddities of the Mary
1and-Georgetown game is that it will
be played at College Park, although
it is the Hoyas' home game. This
came about when Burt Shipley,
Maryland coach, announced that
never again would the Terps play
at Tecll High, scene of Georgetown's S
home contests. To help the harassed
Hilltoppers, however, Old Line au-
thorities turned over Ritchie Coli
scum to them for the evening and
Georgetown will run the entire show.
G. w. Primed for Navy.
Due home today from a firing
three-game trip, Catholic Univer-
sitys tossers have two days rest
before playing host to Western
Maryland. Saturday. Fod Cotton
shepherds his men to Baltimore for
a game with Baltimore U. This is
one of the Cardinals toughest as
signments.
Navy, always a tough customer in
It's own bailiwick, should give George
Washington a run for the marbles,
but Coach Bill Reinhart feels his
lads may show the Middies a thing
or two they haven't seen thus far.
Navy has only two regulars left from
last years squad, Capt. Mike Han
dley, former Western High School
boy, and Norman Lee. Both are
guards and Handley is one of the
teams most dangerous shots.
Catholic US ringmen return to
action Saturday night in a match
with McGill University of Canada.
The contest features a crowded
afternoon that will see Maryland
engage Washington. and Lees drib-
blers in an afternoon game and
George Washington pitted against
Virginia Tech at night. Maryland,
incidentally, entertains v. P. I.
Friday.
Wilson Teachers College is the
only other court team with bookings
this week, both away. The Teachers
tangle with Bridgewater Tuesday
and invade Blue Ridge Friday.
