Columbus University's Explorers
will have a good idea of the rigors
of war this week after taking on
Florida and Catholic University
boxers within brief space of six
days.
Coach Jocko Miller's men face the
Gators tomorrow night and trek out
to Brookland Saturday for the an
nual knuckle-heaving fest with the
Cardinals and neither affair falls
in the category of a pink tea.
Florida is tough and G. U. is tougher.
Such schedule is neither cause
for admiration nor amazement in
professional ranks. It's old stuff to
the waffle -eared fraternity. whose
members have known to fill three
and four formal engagements in
week and engage in a little bar
room scuf1ing on the side to keep
in shape. The lay-it-on-the-l line
gents would scoff at the suggestion
Columbus is biting of lawful of
trouble.
Joca Heads Florida Team.
But it's no mean feat in inter-
collegiate competition to fight twice
in one week. Educated leather
pushers aren't accustomed to such
violent exercise and 1t takes q lot
of starch out of them. Six minutes
a week, the length of the ordinary
match, is quite enough for most
and minutes too much in some
cases. But if Columbus is shoulder
ing heavy burden, Florida is tack
ling one of even larger proportions.
The Gators fought Virginia last
night at Charlottesville.
Johnny Joca, a senior from Cleve-
land, former national intercollegiate
lightweight champion and dur
able young man, is Florida's ace.
Undefeated in three fights this year
he has lost only one bout in dual
competition and only once in tour
nament debating. He lost his title
in the semiflnals of last years tour
nament, but expects to regain it
this year.
Johnny's opponent will be squatty
Sammy Tytelman. who upset
Miami's Francis Christie last week
and If Sammy does an encore on
that performance it will be a rouS-
ing battle.
AL Young. clever little 120-pound-
er, is the only other Florida hold
over from the 1941 team that came
within 215 points of surviving six
matches undefeated. Another vet
eran who did not box last year is
Bob Cromwell. 165-pounder. who
had a successful season as sopho-
more, but passed up the sport last
winter to hit the books.
Cards Lure w. and NJ. Runners.
Scrap Chandler, William and
Mary track coach, has notified Dor
sey Griffith the Indians will have a
squad in the Forthcoming Cardinal
games at Riverside Stadium.
Vrginia's Coach Archie Hahn is
reported grooming crack shuttle
hurdle and 440-yard sprint relay
teams for the Penn Relays in April.
Such wen-known timber toppers as
Todd, Marberry, Boyd and Capers
are running the barriers and scouts
report the campus cluttered up with
obstacles over which half hundred
young men may be found practicing
any afternoon.
Campbell, Hall. Dart and Nc
Cowan are his best sprinters All
were clocked in SO at most for the
century last year and Campbell is
the lad who did 9.8. In the winter
book the Cavaliers are hot fevorites
IN both events.
Bobby Goldstein, Maryland box
Ing coach, has filed application for
a commission in the Navy physical
instruction corps headed by 1t.
Comdr. Tom Hamilton, former An
napolis grid star and coach. The
Terp tutor would be an asset in
boxing.
Georgetown's $4,000 athletic field
and running track, one Of the finest
in the East, was so badly torn
up by trucks using the cinder path
for a runway and taking short cuts
across the turf it will have to be
repaired at considerable expense be-
fore Hap" Hardell's trackmen can
use 1t this spring.
Erhardt's Loss Hits G. w. Nine.
George Washington's diamond
hopes have been hit by the loss
of Buddy Erhardt, sensational
freshman pitcher of Winnie De An
gels squad last year, who left
school.
Bill Reinhart had the right dope
on the cause of Matt Zunic's un-
steady court work early in the cam
paign when he said Matt was upset
by the draft. Since being classi-
fed and finding out where he stands
the big boy has settled down into
a long, winning stride.
why not give Bob James, Tom
Munt, Don Schuerholz and some of
the other boys a break instead of |
giving Ernie Travis all the praise"
writes a Marylander. ''Schuerholz
IS the best ball hawk Maryland has
seen in years and James gives the |
team plenty of pepper. They de-
serve recognition.
Joe Judge is laying plans to de- |
velop sharp left-field hitters on his |
Georgetown nine this season be-
cause the diamond will be rear
ranged so part of the field will run
INTO sharp terrace. It'll family |
resemble the Polo Grounds.
