powerful ring squad while the Terps
are an unknown quantitf. More

his first year at the tiller, found it
difficult to scare up quorum for
holiday workouts and is afraid his
boys will not be in the best of con-
ditlon when the first bell rings.
Lombardo's tentative lineup starts
with Judson Lincoln. a soph from
st. Johns of this city. who broke
even in two l20-pound bouts last
year and is the outstanding varsity
candidate at that weight Charley
Dorr has the inside track on the 1877
pound berth and won his only bout
last season. Pat Quinn. a clever
hard-hitting youngster who didn't
fight as a freshman. is battling
Rowan Scarborough for the 1885,
pound assignment and has a good
chance of getting it. "Hotsy" Alper-
stein appears to be cinch to keep
his l45-pound position.
At 155. the leading candidate is
Fred Bach. gridman from Tech
High who is inexperienced, and the
outstanding 165-pound prospect is
George Pyles, a Junior. Pyles broke
even in two arguments last year,
scoring a technical knockout at the
expense of 225-pound Mike Petrucci
