st. Mory's Series Is Planned
BY G. H., Awaiting Bowl Bid
Or Tilt With Santa Clara

Georgetown prohibiting the football
team taking trips Of more than five
days.
Arrangements for a post-season
trip to the coast to meet Santa Clara
are hanging fire as the Hoyas still
are very much in the running for
the Orange Bowl in spite of the
announcement that Boston College
already has received an invitation.
Georgetown Is Hopeful.
Boston College has not accepted
the Orange Bowl bid and is waiting
for a shot at the Sugar Bowl, which
carries a slightly higher guarantee.
1t also might be in line for the
Rose Bowl should some of the other
teams higher on the list be unable
to 60 because of Conference or
school rules.
Should Boston College decline the
Orange Bowl bid in favor of some
other, the choice probably would lie
between Georgetown and Fordham,
and Georgetown has plenty of sup
port in Miami. The Southern school
in that bowl probably will be the
winner of the Alabama Mississippi
State clash on Saturday.

Bout With ChmieIewski Likely
To Determine if Abrams Has
Chance for Middle Title

middleweight and he's in line for a
title shot"
We watched Abrams closely and
10, he appeared to have gone back
some. The Kid outsmarted him
time and again, outpunched him and
did everything but outpace him.
Abrams came with rush at the
close, a last round splurge that evi-
IDENTIFY carried the night. 1t was not
an impressive victory and the rank
and file thought George very lucky
to win. Cocoa isn't a stiff puncher
but in the sixth round he lifted
George off the deck twice with right
uppercuts to the chin and for brief
second it seemed as though Abrams
would 60 down. That is one factor
in his favor-he can take it-and
frequently has.
Chmielewski, from all accounts,
isn't another Dempsey with his mitts
but a rough, tough boy who never
lets go one punch if two will do the
job a trifle better. He's a good boxer,
but not another Conn or Carpenter
so If he wins the nod in their first
meeting it is only reasonable to as
sumo Abrams doesn't measure up
to Dundee's glowing description of
his prowess.
In Abrams favor are couple of
decisions over Charley Burley who,
in turn, was impressive in winning
from Vince Pimpinelli a couple of
weeks ago. Pimpinelli holds a couple
Of wins over FritZie Zivic, which
sound mighty impressive since Fritzie
belted Henry Armstrong from be-
meath his welterweight crown.
Points to Punchless Champs.
Signor Dundee, too, dwells at
length on Billy Conn's rise to power
without benefit of killing punch.
He points out that Armstrong never
stiffened anybody with a single blow,
that Ken Overlin reached the top
through sheer skill and that cham
pionS who won their titles on points
greatly outnumber those who won on
punching.
Be that as it may, Abrams doesn't t
appear destined to 60 on to greater
heights. A good boxer and a game
boy, he'll be mixing with the better
rlngmen for some time but at the
moment he appears to be at the
zenith of his career. L. F. A.

close decision over Bob Mont

Referee Irwin Kudcher and Judge

swollen lip. Angott. who trains at
Louisville, KY, suffered a partial
dislocation of bone in his right
hand when he landed with a hard
uppercut in the eighth round.
,-"He didn't hurt me none, "
declared. Bob, while Angott. who
asserted he had the edge all the
way, admitted body punch in the
opening round hurt plenty
Angott relied largely on jolting
uppercuts.
The more experienced 24-year-old
Angott scored spectacular punches

Mary|and's S Fields SET

After Harrier Race
Shows Good Form Finishing
Third to Record-Breuker
In Cross Country Event
BY the Associated Press.


EAST LANSING, Mich. Nov. 26.-
Indications that Tommy Fields,
Maryland distance runner, who al
ready has collected a sizable bundle
of honors, will enjoy increasing
prominence as a trackman this sea-
son were revealed here yesterday
when the blond youngster ran a
strong third in the annual national
collegiate cross-country meet.
Fields, Southern Conference cross
country champion and winner in
dual meets with North Carolina,
Virginia, Georgetown and Washing
ton and Lee, pressed Oliver Hunter
of Notre Dame for second place in
the race won by Gilbert Dodds, 22-
year-old divinity student at tiny
Ashland (Ohio) College.
Dodds, a senior from a school Of
fewer than 500 students, finished
more than so yards ahead of Oliver
in his record breaking performance.
His time was 20:302, seven-tenths Of
a second faster than the mark set
by Walter Mehl of Wisconsin over
the same course last year. The
course was muddy and treacherous.
Fields moved into contention after
the mile mark, where Bob Nichols
of Rhode Island State and Earl
Mitchell of Butler were battling for
the lead. Dodds moved to the front
at the 3-mile mark after slow start
and stretched his lead to so yards as
Oliver and Fields staged neat fight
for second place.
Fields, who runs the mile and q
mile events on the Maryland track
team, was a member of the Terp
teams which captured three first
places at the Penn relays last spring.

For the second time In as many
Washington appearances George
Abrams, the Capitals meandering
middleweight, will be the long shot
of the evening when he steps into
the ring Thursday night at River
side Stadium for a 10-round bout
with one Henry Chmielewski.
George was underdog when he
fought the Cocoa Kid and he's cast
in a similar role this week because
Chmielewski happens to be the same
gent who busted him off in Mil
waukee last September during the
National Boxing Commission con-
vention. 1t was a good fight and
close decision and it is within the
realm of reason to think Abrams
can reverse that decision this time,
but the money is. going on Chmiel-
ewski just the same.
There must be a reason, laying
aside the fact that fight fans can
be as gullible as anybody. 1t seems
to be that George still has no
punch-no persuader to bring him
back when the going is heavy and
help square accounts. He never
owned one as an amateur and has
failed to develop one as a profess
sional, and in pro ranks you go
just so far and last Just so long
without punch. George, evidently,
has reached his peak.
Pilot Dundee Enthusiastic.

fatty. and at great length denies
this. He would argue the District
contender is just beginning to come
into his own, just reaching the
plane Of a smart fighter with sufh-
cient experience to mix with the
elite of the class and that his punch
has enough sting to keep him in
fast company eel.
Watch him tonight. said Signor
Dundee the day of the Cocoa Kid
bout, land you'll see how much he's
improved. He does things in there
he couldn't do before. He punches
inside-they can't tie him up like
they used to: he doesn't stop or hesi-
tate after a break and he's never
puzzled about what to do next.
