University of Maryland tossed It's
annual "all-university night" pro-
gram in highly successful style last
night at College Park, entertaining
some 1000 fans with a repertoire of
extra curricular activities and
throwing In victories over Catho-
lie University's courtmen and West
ern Maryland's ringmen for good
measure.
The Terp dribblers romped home
with 1851 decision over the Cards,
and the mitten manipulators fash.
ioned 6ia-11a victory on the fea.
lures of the Terrors.
Sandwiched in between was the
big amateur night, and the Old
Liners ran the gamut Of entertain
ment, offering everything but q pa
rade of elephants. Tumbling, arch.
cry, gymnastic "jitter-bugging,"
classical dancing, table tennis, q
Zouave drill, a sports tableau and
glee club warbling were cleverly pre-.
serited.
It was one of the most success.
ful programs yet presented.
Maryland started slowly in both
varsity events, but won all but one
ring match after the inaugural, scor-
ing four technical knockouts at their
guests expense.
Terps Get Bad Start.
The Terp ringmen began opera
tions behind 1-point deficit when
slender Johnny Harm failed to solve
Capt. Joe Rouses southpaw style
and lost the decision.
Rouse worked cody and carefully
and found the range frequently with
. long left to the head. Harm was
unable to break through his de-
fense and spent most of the bout
on the receiving end.
Harm landed the best blow of
the fight in the second round, how
ever, shaking up Rouse, but couldn't
follow up his advantage.
Charley Doerr, pinch hitting for
Bob Bradley in the 127-pound class,
pulled the Terps on even terms by
carving out decision over Rip
Hudson.
Doerr concentrated his fire on
the mid-riff in the second round
after an easy start and slowed
down Hudson to a walk. Doerr was
swinging for a knockout in the
third, but couldn't land the telling
punch.
Nate Askin, lightweight star,
showed Maryland ahead, scoring q
technical Knockout, over Earl Shu-
bert after l minute and II seconds
Of the second round. Askin clearly
was too experienced for the Terror,
who succumbed to persistent body
attack.
Maryland's Buck LAMA, substi-
tuting for Dick Hathaway, carried
his mates a step nearer victory in
taking the 145-pound Joust from
Tom Elias by another T. K. o.
LAMA had too much dynamite in
his purple mittens for Elias who
several times was in distress ss
early as the first round. Referee
Short halted the slaughter after 35
seconds of the final round.
"Hotsy" Alperstein moved up a
class into the 155-pound division
and used his superior speed and
sharp-shooting southpaw punches
to good advantage in winning q close
decision from Ed Lewis.
Lewis had the advantage in height
and weight and had the Terp in dis
tress in the second round, battering
him around the head with two-fist-
ed attack. He backed Hotsy into
the ropes and knocked him half
way through to carry the round.
Alperstein came back in the final
round with both gloves pumping
leather to the forehead to win by
4 shade.
Cox Clinches Victory.
Newton Cox's technical knockout
triumph over Raney Schnoll was
the clinching point for Maryland.
He finished the Terror with q tor
rent of left hooks to the head,
driving him through the ropes into
q sitting posture after As seconds
OF the second round.
Cox worked with superb preci.
sion, waiting patiently for openings
and wasting no wild punches.
Schnon got In . couple Of light
rights in the first round and was
strictly on the defensive thereafter.
The lght-heavyweight bout was
ruled no contest when John Pieri
suffered cut eye in the first round
and each team took . half point.
Leites had all the better Of It in
the one round fought.
George Pyle ended the evening on
. triumphant note for the Terps
with = first-round knockout over
Mike Petrucci. Pyle, making his
initial varsity appearance, tagged
his heavier opponent with Q couple
Of brisk rights, ending the engage

Of the round.
