Southern Star Holds
Decision Over u. :.
College Champ
c. U. Heavy in Fine Trim;
Hoyos Plan Northern
Jount in Baseball

Capt. Red Cameron on the Catholic
University Miami card Saturday
night at Brookland, is shaping up
as the best heavyweight joust college
ring fans will see here this winter
and on the outcome hinge the husky
Cardinals hopes of going to the
national tournament in the spring
II the tournament comes of.
Cameron shaded big Sneeze last
year in Florida. He owns an author
itative punch and is a cagey stra-
tegist under fire-a combination
that proved too much for Kysczew-
ski who had a punch and was willing
to meet his weight in heavyweights
or wildcats, but woefully was short
on ring generalship. Cameron seems
to be better this year, but so does
Kysczewski and the consensus in
Brookland is that Sneeze will take
Red.
But the Miami mauler will be the
favorite because his latest victim
happened to be Lou Campbell, ma
tional intercollegiate champion and
the gent who laid out Kysczewski
in lavender at C. U. last February.
Cameron went to the SemiflnalS OF
last years tournament, but didn't
meet Campbell and when they did
get together he gave the Southwest
ern Louisiana scrapper thorough
going over.
Sneeze Blows Opportunity.
KyScZeWski lost to Campbell after
twice putting him on deck with
sledge-hammer rights that had
knockout written all over them. He
seemed to be a sure winner until
Lou lifted himself of the canvas
and fired a roundhouse right that
caught Sneeze flush on the button
and put an end to the affair.
Coach Eddie La Fond of c. U. has
been abed with a chest cold this
week, and Joe Bunsa has been in
charge of the Cardinals, with Davey
Bernstein, another former La Fond
pupil, helping out. Both agree that
Kysczewski is ready for the fight
of his life and will be dangerous
until the final bell. Sneeze is down
to 233 pounds and moving as gin
gerly as a show horse Mentally
and physically he's in the pink.
But. as Bunsa pointed out today,
the big fellow may not be as sharp
as he could and should be because
of lack of sparring sessions. Mid
year examinations have tied up most
Of the Cards, so that the squad does
its training piecemeal, and Bernie
Cody, another heavyweight, has not
been available for sparring. Sneeze
needs a lot of work, and Bunsa is
threatening to put on the padded
pillows in an effort to get ready if
no other competitors show today,
and he guarantees that if Kysczew-
ski does have a few rounds of tar
get practice Mr.. Cameron is 60
ing to be one surprised young man
come Saturday night.
Meade Visits Alma Mater.
Jim Meade, former Maryland and
Redskin fullback, was a visitor at
College Park yesterday but en-
phatically denied he was seeking
a coaching berth. Jim had a few
days before reporting at Fort Ben
ming, Ga, where he will begin the
three-month training course for a
second lieutenant's commission.
Georgetown, faced with a cancel
lation of baseball games by Northern
teams which are not coming South
this spring, may arrange post
season trip the week following
graduation to meet them. The
Hoyas always went North for their
final games in by-gone years.
Coach Burt Shipley of Maryland
agrees that Matt Zunic can play on
anybody's basket ball team and Bill
Reinhart, Mats tutor at G. w., says
it is only a matter of time before
Maryland's Ernie Travis will be one
of the best on the boards.
A roll of salami, with Charley
Schmidt whacking it up into sand
wiches for his buddies, had the en-
tire Georgetown team up all night
on the return trip from West Point.
Entry blanks for the ninth annual
Catholic University games are in the
mail but Director Dorsey Griffith
expects only few replies before the
week Of the meet, scheduled March 9.
1t. Pete Pfeiffer, former Terp
athlete who had been tutoring the
Maryland trackmen, has been called
back into the Army. He served a
year after graduating in 1887.
Bobby Gilhams return to his old
securing form has elevated George
Washington to the role of co-favor-
ite with Duke for the Southern Con-
ference court crown. The tip-off on
Gilham'S all-around ability is that
when he couldn't buy basket all
last winter and at the start of the
current campaign Bill Reinhart re-
fused to bench him, pointing out
that he still was one of the most
valuable defensive players and
feeders" on the squad.
And so it comes to this note: FL
mer Ripley, Georgetown court coach,
remembers when George Marshall
would remit fines levied against the
old Palace Pro courtmen to the
guilty players wife with instructions
to buy herself a new hat.-L. F. A.
