hopes to intensity interest in fist

he's confronted with a pair of size

Maryland will launch its boxing
schedule on January 8 when it
faces the rugged United States
Coast Guard Academy team but the
Old Liners won't stage their first
workout under Campagna until
Monday, when the aspirants return

three outstanding boxers after their
first five matches. Going into the
service at the end of the present
semester will be Featherweight Jud-
son Lincoln, Middleweight Jack
Gilmore and Light-heavyweight
Herb Gunther.
Successor to Bobby Goldstein, for
mer University of Virginia boxer,

Gloves product. For the past sew
eral years he has coached boxing

the Union League Boys Club.
Currently at College Park, Cam
pagna becomes Marylands first full

bardo, now is in the armed forces.
as are Lombardo and Goldstein.
Campagna, married and the father

novices in line with Athletic Di-
rector Clark Shaughnessy's policy
of carrying combat sports to as
many as possible.
Prof. George D. Quigley. faculty
adviser on boxing, will remain in

A.-Clean the glass with alcohol.
Then cut out a sheet of tissue paper

This will penetrate the paper and
stick it TO the glass, as well as
make the paper water-resistant.
Q.-How can prevent the
woodwork Of my house becom-

A.-Mildew on woodwork is
caused by excessive moisture in
the wood itself. Woodwork often
absorbs too much moisture If not

the case, the remedy is to remove
the woodwork and back paint
with a good protective primer.
The face of the woodwork should
also be primed.
