Hoyos to Go North for A. A. II
Games, erps South to Seek
Conference Championship

Georgetown and Maryland track
men are headed in opposite di-
rections today but with the mutual
idea of adding to their impressive
list OF laurels. The Hoyas are en-
tered in the national A. A.. u. in
door championships at New York,
and the Terps will do their leg
ging in the Southern Conference
games at Chapel Hill.
The Hoyas hopes of attracting
national prominence are vested
chiefly in the shotputting ability
of the blond giant, AL Blozis, who
only last week hung up an American
record for the event. Coach Hap
Hardell also has entered mile and
medley relay teams but hasn't the
faintest idea of where they'll finish.
Georgetown's strongest opposi-
ton In the mile will come from
New York University's crack quar-
tet, which, with Jim Herbert run
ming the anchor Les. has gone the
route in 3:18.6-best time of the
season. The Violet bowed to George
town last, Monday night in the
Seton Hall games, but Herbert
wasn't in the lineup.

Ambers Sings 10 Wife
On Eve Of Battle
~.
With Davis
Lou, Who Soon Will Have
Addition to Family, Is
IL Choice Tonight
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-You'd
hardly expect Lou Ambers, who
meets Roughneck Bunny Davis in
Madison Square Garden tonight, to
be singing-but that's exactly what
he's doing.
Very few fighters sing when
they're called upon to face the
roughest, toughest hombre to come
out of Brooklyn In years.
But Lou is singing-and the song
he sings is an old one and senti-
mental. He sings it over the phone
to his wife in Herkimer, N. Y, and
it's entitled Somebody's Coming to
Our House."
For there's going to be an addi-
ton in the Ambers family pretty
soon now-and that takes prece-
dence over everything else-even 4
10-round, over-the-weight affair
with young slugger who has
chalked up 20 knockouts In his last
81 fights.
Lou has trained hard for this
fight-his 18th in Madison Square
Garden, and he's q 1-to-2 favorite
to win from the Flatbush pool hall
protege, in spite of Davis record
and the additional fact that Am
bers, the lightweight champion, has
been belted out twice In over-the-
weight matches In the Garden. He
lost to Jimmy McIArnin In 1885
and to Pedro Nontaneg h 1857.
