BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.
Hopelessly outclassed in basket
ball, but in the running until the
final bout of boxing, Maryland
dropped both ends of a winter
double header for the first time in
its history last night at College
Park.
A partisan throng of 1000 saw
the Terps drop 5-3 decision to
Catholic University's mittenmen
after being slaughtered by Wash
ington and Lees courtmen, 42-15.
A forfeit in the 165-pOund class
by Maryland bolstered Catholics
winning margin, although Maryland
was not a certain victor at this
weight with Gerry Strang available.
Referee Charley Shorts decisions
were not entirely we'll received. The
throng thought Maryland's Judson
Lincoln took the 120-pound engage
ment and that the Cards Leo Gaff-
ney beat Bill Holbrook in the light
Welent encounter.
Tx. o. Called on ROdman.
But all that was forgotten when
Len Rodman of Maryland and CAST
mir Ksycewki stepped into the ring
for the heavyweight scrap.
Rodman outboXed his 225-pound
opponent for half minute, SpearinS
his with several jolting jabS and
crossing him with a good right to
the nose, but KsyceWki soon caught
the hang of things and started after
him. He shook up Rodman with a
couple of good belts to the body.
then caught him with a clean lett
hook as Len tried to dance away in
the center of the ring, stretching
him lengthwise on the canvas.
Rodman was hit hard, but came
I'D in time to hear Short toll of
most of the mandatory 9-count. His
head seemed clear He displayed no
physical distress and to all appear
ances was ready to continue. Short.
however, declined to let tie bout
go on and gave Ksycewki the victory
on technical knockout. The time
was As seconds of the first round.
Cards Get Early Lead.
Judson Lincoln's great third
round rally failed to win against
Ted Mandris of C. u in the open
ing 100 pound bout. The Terp
youngster staggered his man with
hard rights to the head but couldn't
overcome Mandris' early lead.
The lanky victor was the ag-
gressor, although he failed to do
any appreciable damage Lincoln
seem to tire near the end.
Charley Dorr, Maryland's 1877
FOUNDER. pav Lenny Baritone down
for a count in the second round,
then fell victim to the Cardinal
clouters left hooks to the body in
the third.
Baritone won with plenty to spare.
Dorr didn't lay a glove on him
after the second round. The punch
that sent Baritone to the floor was
left hook.
The Terps sent a surprise entry
to the post in the 135-pound class
in Bill H0lbrOok. SouthpaW. and
he gave Leo Gaffney a lot of trou-
BILE but hardly enough to rate the
decision he received over the c. U.
sharpshooter. Gaffney landed often
to the head but couldn't put the
stout-hearted Holbrook down. Hol-
brook rallied in the second, direct
ing his attack to the body and ap-
parently it was enough to gain the
verdict.
Alperstein Whips Hughes.
Huck Hughes tried to rush Mary
lands "Hotsy" Alperstein in the
first round of their 145-pound bat
tie and lun into a furry of lefts to
the head that slowed him down. The
action followed the same pattern in
the two succeeding rounds, Alper-
stein winning with points to spare
Gus Gershwin sent the Cardinals
ahead in the 155-pound duel by
scoring technical knockout over
Bob Miller, Maryland portSider. A
couple of hard rights to the mid
section softened Miller for the fin
ishing furry of rights and lefts to
the head.
Maryland forfeited the 1866 pound
bout, having no one available to sub
for injured George PyleS.
Gunther Shades HOuck.
Leo Houck, jr,, of c. U. and Herb
Gunther, Maryland's light heavy,
were we'll matched, but the Old Liner
got the decision. Both were cautious
at the beginning and then went at
it with their heavy guns in the clos
ing round and were fighting fu-
riously after the final bell. Houck,
off balance, hit the floor a couple
of times, but there were no clean
knockdoWns.
