By FRANCIS E. STAN.

For the second time in nine years
Of spirited fisticuffing. the Univer-
sity Of MARYLAND won decision over
Catholic University last night at
the Brookland gymnasium as
crowd of 5000. jeering the verdicts
of Referee Dennis Hughes, watched
the Terps maintain a forfeited 20
lead throughout a card marked by
two bouts which failed to go beyond
the opening round due to face cuts.
In each of these fights the schools
earned q half point and in both in
stances the battleEs unable to con-
tinue were Marylanders.
Having no capable representatives
In the 135 and ITS pound classes,
Catholic University forfeited these
points. but the Cardinals efforts to
come from behind and win their
sixth victory as against a defeat
and two draws were blasted when
Featherweight Judson Lincoln and
Welterweight Hotsy Alperstein were
awarded loudly booed decisions and
when an eye cut in the bout be-
tween Pat Quinn of the Terps and
James Lynagh Of the Cards caused
their tussle to be stopped with the
teams dividing a point. With the
forfeits this made the score Az to
IA in favor Of the College Parkers.
Cards Take Opening Bouts.
The final score was So, Catholic
picking up a point when the 145
and 155 pound bouts were stopped
and called mo decision" and two
points when 120-pounder Price
WEIGH and Heavyweight Casinir
(Sneeze) Ksycewski won over their
black and gold jerseyed opponents.
Although it was known that the
135 and ITS pound class forfeits had
given the favored Terps a prohibi-
tive lead, Catholic University root
ers took hope when WEIGH out
stabbed and outfought Joseph Ci-
Gala in the opening bout to cut the
margin to 81. Apparently these
same supporters figured that Ted
Mandris, C. U. 127-pounder, had
evened the score after his three
rousing rounds against Lincoln. but
Referee Hughes gave the decision
to the squatty. counterpunching
Terrapin, and this virtually sealed
the meet.
In place Of the l35- pound bout, an
exhibition took place. but rivalry
was renewed when 5l45-pounders
Hugh Hughes and Alperstein. re-
spective captains, tangled for three
hot rounds. Again the partisan
crowd favored the c. U. battler, and
again Hughes cast his vote for a
Marylander.
Draw Gives Terps Match.
This made it Al, and when Quinn.
Maryland 155-pounder, sustained a
cut eye in the first round this bout
was stopped and, under intercollegi-
ate rules, ruled a draw. Each team
getting half point, Maryland thus
was the winner.
The 165-pound bout between Gus
Gersin of c. U. and Jack Gilmore
ended the same way in the first
round-due to a cut on the face
and then 1t became So. A 175-pound
exhibition followed, and then Ksy-
cewski won C. us second clear-cut
victory by outpunching Lon Rod
man, Maryland heavyweight, in the
final bout.
Maryland now has won two meets,
