There was time when the press

Wright was handed over Carl Gug-
gino in their 10-round bout last
night at Turner's Arena, but no
more. Other and more important
things evidently have made boxing S
sour decisions of little consequence
so let the nod 60 to Wright, al
though Guggino won.
Guggino, a master boxer, was
fioored for no count in the first
round with a hard chop to the
forehead. He had to ward of
Wright's bull-like rushes in the sec
ond and third rounds, but after
that he was in complete command
of the situation. He made the
short-armed Wright look foolish at
times, laid on him in the clinches
to wear him down. tied him up in
close, sId rocked hin, with IrfsYppd-
ing body blows, but to no avail. :
The entire card wasuniformly in

teur, made a successful pro debut
Dy scoring a technical Knockout over
Pete Latzo when the latter's eye was
ripped open. Gus Mirman, former
Columbus U. heavyweight, won an
easy decision over Powerhouse

The high-flying New York RoVers,
currently occupying the top rung in
the Eastern Amateur Hockey
League, come to Riverside Stadium
ice tonight for their final scheduled
local appearance of the year. How
ever, they may show here in the
league playoff slated to get under
way March 10. The game tonight
against the Eagles will start at $50.
Six times victors over the Eagles,
as against two defeats by the home
boys, the Rovers have been sparked
to their top spot on the league lad
der by Freddie Metcalfe, veteran
Canadian coach. He won't be
around to see his club in the stretch
run of the league championship, for
now he Is in military service.
Rovers Pick on Eagles.
All season the. Roverss have been
in the hair of the Eagles, pihng
humiliation on the a1941 champions.
On January 27 the lads from
Gotham plastered the Eagles with
an 11-to-3 trouncing, and last Sum-
day before the seasons biggest
crowd in New York they rubbed salt
in the open wound with a 6-to-3
pasting So the Eagles will be out
for revenge tonight, with one of
them particularly seeking q win.
That man is Eagle Goalie Craig
McClelland, a gent who has taken a
lot of kicking around this year. The
item that sticks in McClelland's
craw is the booing he got while
dodging an assorted bunch of flying
pucks in that 11-to-3 licking last
month.
Lions Again Harmonious.

apolis tonight, but the Lions will

their last four games to tie their

wise there isn't much punch on the
first team at College Park and the
reserves serve only to give the main
five a rest.
This was very noticeable last
night as the Dukes topped Mary
land, 64-46, for their thirteenth con-
ference victory in IA games and an
even break in their invasion of
Washington, they having been de-
feated by George Washington on
Saturday night.
Close for 10 Minutes.
After the first 10 minutes, with
Duke ahead, but not too much, its
second team went in. Maryland's
reserves also poured on the floor
to match this. but there the re-
semblance ended. The Blue Devils
continued to score at the same fast
pace. working smoothly and rapidly
up and down the floor, while the
Terps' second team fumbled around
and missed even more chances than
did the starting quint.
Another reason for Dukes Sue
cesses is the amazing accuracy of its
shots. Maryland got practically as
many pots at the bucket last night,
but missed too many of them while
the Blue Devils were slipping theirs
through. They work a fast break
on defense as well as offense, with
the two outside men dropping back
to midcourt on every shot ready for
an mterception If the other team
gets the rebound. Only once last
night did Maryland get away with
a break by taking rebound of
the Duke blackboard.
