Maryland Net Team
Will Visit Navy for
Opener Wednesday
Four Lettermen, Three
Rocks on Terp Squod;
II Mofches Corded

Maryland's tennis team, with
Richmond U. having asked to be re-
heved of the match shceduled there
tomorrow, will start action in much
tougher company by invading An
napolis Wednesday to play Navy.
The Terps, none too strong, will
depend on seven players, four Of
whom are letter men.
Doyle Royal and Harry Baugher,
seniors, and Elwood Bates and Slater
Clarke, juniors, are the veterans,
while Julian Kerpen, Leon Strauss
and Eli Gottlieb are the recruits.
Kerpen is a junior who did not
come out for the team last season
after playing as freshman, and the
other two are sophs.
Phil Burkom, who shared the No.
l spot with Royal last year, was the
main loss, but the team doesn't ap-
pear as strong or as well balanced
as the 1941 outfit, which won 10 Of
Is matches.
Maryland also will make its home
bow this week, entertaining st.
Johns of Brooklyn Thursday. In all,
II matches are listed, the others
being:
April II. Richmond: 1s. Catholic U; 20,
Georgetown: 30. Duke;
May 2. North Carolina 4, Johns Hop

Boxing Matchmaker
Menendez Signs
With Uncle Sam

Gabe Menendez, who, as match
maker for Joe Turner, has signed
innumerable fighters, now is pre-
pared to put his John Hancock on
the line for another fighting man
Uncle Sam. He's due to report at
Tampa, Fla, tomorrow for his phys
ical examination.
'I don't know how many rounds
I'm signing for or how much the
other guy weighs, but it's going to
be a kayo finish and you can bet
I'll be in the winning corner" Gabe
grinned before leaving.
Menendez, who got started in the
fight game training club fighters on
the side while trainer for a Florida
baseball team, drifted into WASH
ington soon after boxing was legal
lied here, bringing a string of fight
ers. He later signed with Turner
as matchmaker when the latter dis

i'll will has arisen between the play
ers and the bosses over the gen.
eral job Of salary cutting that has
taken place this year.
The players feel, in short, that
the clubs have taken advantage OF
the uneasy situation to reduce their
pay rolls, and the players resent II
deeply.
None of the players is talking fol
publication, but they are saying
plenty in private. They feel they
were bludgeoned; that the bosses
knew that the younger players, in
particular, could not afford to argue
about their salaries at this time.
At any rate, and whether the
owners got together on it or acted
entirely as individuals, salaries have
been amputated to an extent that
would have caused a baseball revo-
luton a year ago.
The players say frankly that they
signed only because this might be
their last chance to make a little
money before going into the Army
