In Lively Week End
For D. {. Colleges
Cord-Explorer Boxing
Meet, Terps' Double
Bill on Tomorrow
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.


The Capitals collegians hit their
highest and hottest licks of the in.
door season this week end, begin
ming with a couple of court clashes
tonight between old and formidable
rivals.
Catholic U. tangles with American
In a Mason-Dixon Conference fray
that has all the earmarks of pull
sating duel while out at College
Park Maryland will be host to Will
liam and Mary in q Southern Con-
ference shindig of little significance
to the bedraggled Terps but of vital
Importance to the visiting Indians.
Tomorrow brings the Catholic
Columbus war at Brookland, which
would be boxing, of course, and
Marylands final bargain attraction
of the winter. The Terps take on
West Virginia's once-beaten quint in
basket ball after which the mitten-
wearers will try to box the ears of
Virginia Tech.
Gallaudet has a date with Shep-
herdstown Teachers at Kendall
Green in the only other home at
traction but on the road George
Washington has a date with Rich
mond and Columbus will be the
guest of Rider College.
Terps at Disadvantage.
Marylands ring team will be
fighting at a disadvantage without
Pat Quinn, rangy 155-pounder who
is out for the remainder of the year
with a badly gashed eye. But Coach
Bobby Goldstein has hopes Matt
Beccio, a sophomore swinger-from-
the-heels, will be able to plug the
gap. Beccio will not be in over his
head in his first formal appearance
If records mean anything, for Jack
Spital, whom re meets. has won
only one of four bouts, losing two by
knockouts.
Some of the Terps, notably 145-
FOUNDER HotSy Alperstein, did their
roadwork on sentry duty this week
and are in rare form. A 24-hour
guard has been established on the
campus by the R. o. T. c. and AL
perstein was one of the first to go on
duty. He'll face Buddy Green, a
youngster with a wallop. but not too
heavily burdened with experience.
Virginia Tech, beaten by Virginia
early in the season, hasn't lost to
conference opponent in two years,
and has no idea Of interrupting
that record now. It boasts no out
standing performer, unless it is
Heavyweight Johnny Maskas, who
has won three of four matches, but
is well balanced and aggressive. One
of its most promising representa-
tives is DiIler Harding, a light
heavyweight, who is undefeated In
two bouts but who will be the un-
derdog against Herb Gunther.
Even Money Battle Seen.
Columbus, which would have been
the favorite over Eddie La Fond's
Cardinals on the strength of its VIC
tory over Miami, which previously
had beaten the Brooklanders, may
be no better than even money to-
morrow night because of its rout by
(lOl lud. ouU lllC GhRlOi S4 iioNS
balance through the middle divisions
that may be hard for their oppo-
nents to overcome.
Columbus best bets are in the
i45, 155 and 165 pound classes popu-
lated by Southpaw Bernie Jackson,
Elmer Jacobsen and Capt. Charley
Cox, respectively Jackson may
carry too many guns for Capt. Huck
Hughes, although he first must find
Huck to hit him, and Jacobsen has
too much reach for Buddy Lynagh.
Elmer wasn't in good physical con-
dition for the Florida match, ac-
cepting the assignment on two days
notice. but he's been living in the
gym since and should be ready. Cox
Is too tall and experienced for
Charley Riehl.
Jocko Miller also has a heavy
weight in Al McAlear, who may
give the Cards 240-pound Sneeze
KyscZeWski all the trouble he's look
Ing for and possibly nail him to the
deck If he hits him right, and a
light heavyweight with the romantic
handle of Romeo Cara who should
be a distinct favorite over Freshman
Mike Manning. The outcome of the
match may hinge on these bouts. and
If so Columbus will have a decided
edge.
