Killefer and Chuck Klein, complete
authority over the pitchers, catch

staff" Lobert said after meeting
yesterday with his two assistants.
dykes seldom knows who is going
to pitch from day to day. He leaves
all that to Ruel's judgment. Kille-

staff, see that the boys keep in con-

have. I expect much improvement
in our staff due to Bills wealth OF

Wilson flicked his left into the 81

the Los Angeles boys complexion
quickly assumed a bright red hue.
But the jabs were so light Lemos
took them round after round while
he vainly awaited an opening for a

In the sixth, Lemos reverted to the
southpaw style he once favored, but
the change didn't bother Wilson.
In the last three rounds, Richie

the best he could do was land a few

it was Wilson go. The other Judge.

Catholic University isn't in the
best physical condition for tonight's
game with Maryland State Teachers
of Towson, scheduled for $3.50 at
Brookland. but the Cards still hope
to wind up their pre-holiday sched-
ule with winning average Of $50
for four games.
Dick Scanlon, husky center and
spearhead of the teams attack, will
sit this one out because of a badly
blistered right foot and his absence
will be keenly felt. Ralph O'Brien,
top-ranking reserve, will replace
Scanlon and Coach Carmen Pirro is
confident he'll fill the bill.
Fred Rice, the left-handed basket
tosser, was in bed over the week end
with a mild attack of flu and hasn't
been right since, although he played
against Loyola Monday night at
Baltimore. Joe Corrado, Rice's run
ming mate at forward, missed most
of last weeks practice sessions be-
cause of the death of his sister and
is not at his best, but he, too, played
against the Greyhounds.
Both are slated to start against
Towson tonight with Capt. Mike
Cherello and Archie Panago, guards,
rounding out the combination.
Pirro is confident that the Cards
will square accounts with Loyola in
their return meeting at Brookland
in January. He blamed Mondays de-
feat on the poor condition of his
squad and the size of the Greyhound
gym. Loyola. he says, simply played
at faster tempo than the Cards
could stand.
