ring duels seen in this precinct in
many moons last year, jay Turner

just come through four matches,
three tough ones, and are not in the
best of condition.
MarylandS mittenmen get an
other group of rough hombreS to
deal with in Virginia Tech, which
boasts its best team in a decade.
The Gobblers started off in high
gear by Walloping North Carolina

most formidable opponents they'll
face all season and Coach Mike
Lombardo realizes it.
Lombardo has experienced some
bad breaks after getting off to a
flying start in his first year at
Maryland's helm and a victory over
Tech would go long way toward
making up for some of them.
