nurse to a game gam since before
the season opened, may see some
action tomorrow night when the
Terps take on George Washington's
wigless Colonials IL their first
formal Southern Conference game
at College Park. The battle is part
Of a twin-bill featuring Maryland
and Western Maryland boxing in

Whether Du Vail, q heady strate-
gist and sharpshooter, Is sufficiently
recovered to be of any help against
G. w. Is moot question, but yes
terday, scrimmaging for the first
time since the removal Of a cartilege
in his knee, the blond Baltimorean
seemed as sound as the United
States Constitution. He bagged
four buckets before Coach Burt
Ship1ey waved him to the showers,
proving at least that he hasn't lost
his scoring eye.
The problem now is getting him in
physical condition for he was tagged
and blowing like an asthmatic wal
rus at the end of five minutes in his
initial trial run. Shipley thinks an
other week of hard work may have
him ready for the invasion of Vir-
ginia week from tomorrow which

the conference tournament.
Terp Boxers IN Trim.
Maryland supporters view Du
Wallis return optimistically, pointing
out that If he only gets in for few
minutes against G. w. tomorrow
night and gets a few shots at the
hoop he may give the Terps the
edge they need to whip Matt Zunic
and his mates. AS supporting artil-
lery for Ernie Travis, the big gun
G. w. is prepared to spike, Du Vail
well may be the key figure. Then,
again. he may not even play.
The Old Line biffing squad is in
shape and ready for Western Mary
land, especially with Jack Gilmore's
eye completely healed and that
worthy ready to resume his place in
the lineup. The hard-luck cham
pion of the campus will box formid-
able Carl Ortenzi, the Terrors'
knockout ace, and will have his
hands full, but Coach Bobby Gold
stein thinks Gilmore has an excel
lent chance of winning on his boxing
skill
Western Maryland, which sur
prised by holding its Down. State
rival to tie last winter, is strongest
In the heavier divisions, which leads
Maryland supporters to look fo-
decisive Terp victory. Harry Baker,
ITS pounds, and Sig Jense, heavy
weight, are capable, but so are Mary
lands Herb Gunther, conference
light-heavyweight champ, and Len
Rodman, the heavyweight who has
yet to find himself.

Both are sophomores, but in the
words Of Coach Max Bossert are

II either comes up to expectations
there will be at least two knockdown,
dragout bouts, for Huggler will face
Charley Riehl, a vastly improved
fighter, and Blommen will collide
with 240-pound "Sneeze" Ksyczew-
ski, q heavy handed puncher built
like a baby tank with l6-mm.
