Maryland's kaleidoscope "all-uni-
versity night" program and Catho-
lie University's boxing match with
Southwestern Louisiana Institute at
Brookland share the sports spotlight
tomorrow.
The Terps' big evening of fun and
frivolity will be sandWiched in be-
tween a basket ball game with Con-
necticut. beginning at 7:30, and ring
match with North Carolina. Boxing
will get under way no later than 10
o'clock if the show has been timed
correctly
Fisticuffing at C. U. will start
promptly at $3.50 and gives promise
of producing one of the hardest
matches fought in the rambling
Brookland barn in several seasons.
The visitors come highly recon-
mended and will do whatever they
can to impress the Cards.
Gerry Strang, C. U. captain, will
appear in his role at 165 pounds.
He injured an elbow reaching for a
second helping of chicken Wednes-
day night and it was feared would
be lost for this match. The ailing
joint responded nicely to treatment,
however, and M. Strang allows as
how he can hit with the arm as
well as ever.
Terps Will Use Cordyack.
George PyleS, Maryland's 165-
FOUNDER, definitely will not appear.
In his stead probably will be John
Cordyack. veteran grid star, who is
making his varsity ring debut. Pyles
has been out with a cut eye and
has not been in the gym all week.
Cordyack, while green, did well as
frosh two years ago and is rugged.
He figures to have a good chance
against Morris Moskow, who also is
serving his apprenticeship.
Catholic will be one down when
it steps into the ring because of
the absence of Lightweight Leo
Gaffney. The redhead broke his
hand at Maryland last week and
no substitute had been unearthed
up until press time. There was
no truth to the rumor Coach Eddie
LaFond had a better fighter than
Gaffney available for the spot.
II wish I had" he said. but I'm
afraid we'll have to forfeit the
bout"
Big heavyweights will feature the
two matches. Catholic has "Sneeze"
Ksycewski. 227-pounder who scored
knockout over Marylands Len
Rodman. and Louisiana will coun-
ter with 215-pound Lou Campbell.
Lou is serving his third year on the
varsity squad and has a sizeable
reputation which "Sneeze" will at
tempt to shatter with one good blow
with his trusty right.
Rodman Due Tough Fight.
Rodman faces another broth of
a lad in whoever North Carolina
sends to the post. 1t was reported
from Chapel Hill that the Tar Heels
would send in a sub for Gates Kim
ball, their undefeated star. The
replacement would be Walter Will
hams. 245-pound sophomore, who
never has had on a boxing glove
except once or twice in the gym.
North Carolina, twas rumored,
also would have a pinchhitter for
Bob Farris in the 155-pound bracket.
Farris, like Kimball, is reported de-
tanned by examinations, and his
place will be taken by one Jack
Jones, a Junior.
North Carolina is one of the
Southern Conferences most potent
punching squads and an early-sea-
son favorite to take the crown. It's
two outstanding achievements are
ginia-the same Virginia that
spanked Maryland. SALLY, couple
of weeks ago. Defeats at the hands
of Virginia Tech and Navy are
charged against the Tar Heels.
Southwestern Louisiana is unde-
feated in five matches this season,
numbering among its victims Idaho,
national collegiate champion last
season. Miami, L. S. u, Loyola OF
New Orleans and Florida have felt
the sting of the bayou boys punches
and it is feared C. U. also will bite
the dust
Catholic has been further weak
ened by the loss of Leo Houck,
smooth 175-pounder, who was
foored by an attack of flu early in
the week. His place will be held
down by Kenny Blackbird, a $3.50
light-heavy, who could be one of the
teams best men if he got down to
business.
Maryland has little hope of TAX
ing its court duel with Connecticut.
The Nutmeg StaterS have a high
scoring outfit and only recently gave
the potent Rhode Island State quint
a mess of trouble.
