For the fifth consecutive year the
Catholic University Maryland box
ing meet hinged on the final contest
last night at Brookland Gymnasium
and at the end of this bruising, but
unspectacular, heavyweight battle,
Julius STANCES was awarded de-
cision over Sophomore Josh Hughes
to bring the Flying Cardinals 4
41a-to-3h victory.
STANCES, a football lineman, al
most lost the fight to the inexperi-
enced Hughes in the final round,
which left a capacity crowd Of $500
exhausted and which prompted
Coach Harvey L. Miller of Maryland
to announce that he did not care
to resume boxing relations with
Catholic University in the Brook
land plant.
Only One Loss, Miller Holds.
I'VE lost one bout" Miller con-
ceded, probably referring to Joe
Carrig's victory over 1zzy Leites in
the 175-pound class. The other
decisions against US were terrible" :"
Miller also is president of the Ma
tional Boxing Association and Sec
retary of the District Boxing Com
mission.
Not knockout marked the eight
bout card, for which a neutral,
Elder Crafts of Portsmouth. Va,
was imported to referee. With the
exception of the Carrig-Leites
match. each was extremely close.
The Cardinals, winners three
times, losers once and forced to ac-
cept draws twice with the Terra
pins during the six-year rivalry.
staged their copyrighted Garrison
finish last night to overcome a
3-to-1 lead which the Terps' lighter
fighters had built up.
In succession, Bob Viner won in
the 155-pound class, Gerry Strang
drew with Solithern Conference
Middleweight Champion Newton
Cox, Carrig defeated Leites, and
Strang decisioned Hughes to over
haul and finally pass the team which
is favored to win its third Southern
title in four years this winter. 49,.
C. U. Favored for d. c. Title.
The victory e9ave the Cardinals
a leg on the District collegiate
championship. They are favored
to down Columbus University next
Saturday in the only other dual
meet involving local teams.
Catholic University surprised by
getting of to l-to-0 lead in the
120-pound bout when Ted Mandris,
a green, but willing youngster max
ing his flstic debut. was given a de-
cisicn over the Old Liners little
Johnny Harm. To get Referee Crafts
nod, Mandris rallied in the final
80 seconds.
Maryland's piano-playing 1877
pound Bob Bradley quickly tied the
meet in the second fight when he
atoned for a defeat last year at
the hands of c. US Lenny Baritone.
About all of the action was confined
to the second round, when Baritone
went down for q count of nipe.
Nathan Askin, varsity tennis
player, sent Maryland ahead in the
135-pound bout when he fought
strongly in the final round to win
decisively from John Tedder, an
other Card making his first start
Tedder fought evenly in the first
two rounds, but was unable to re-
turn Askin's blows in the third.
Terps Gain 81 Lead.
When Hotsy Alperstein, Mary
land southpaw, defeated Sophomore
Huck Hughes in the 145-pound bout,
the Terrapins looked to be certain
winners. This bout, which found
Hughes all but chasing Alperstein
out of the arena but Hotsy landing
all of the blows. made it 3 to l for
the College Park team.
Then, with the 155-pound bout,
the Cardinals began to come on.
In probably the best bout of the
night Bob Viner, third Card max
ing his debut. met Norman Hatha-
way of Maryland. It was a nip
and-tuck bout. Viner was dropped
for no count in the second round
and the evenings booing reached
crescendo when. for the fifth
straight bout, action had to be
stopped in the second round to tie
q Maryland boxers glove laces. An
other big boo came when Referee
Graft awarded the decision to Viner.
Strang's draw with Cox came as
a surprise The Card got it in the
first round when Cox went down
for a count of nine, although few
admitted seeing the punch. The
conference champ got up and out
boxed Strang the rest of the way,
but not by margin enough for Craft.
Carrig Evens Match.
This made it 81 to 21a in favor
of Maryland, with the light-heavy
and heavyweight bouts coming up.
In the 175-pound bout, Catholic,
in employing Footballer Carrig, tn-
veiled a fourth neophyte and the
only boxer who scored an easy VIC
tory for the Cards. Carrig was no
ball Of fire, but Leites never could
reach him.
Then. came the final, in which
Maryland introduced young Hughes
against G. us experienced STANCES
They fought an even first round,
but STANCES had the better Of the
second. In the third Hughes startled
the crowd by taking the play away
from STANCES, and when the bell
sounded 1t was anybody's fight until
Craft called it STANCES.
