Western Wilson Fight to Stay in Grid Title Race
Fight Between Dorozo and Hart at U|ne Arena Tonight
Looms as Repeat S|ugfest of Durable Heovyweights

A replay of the Gus Dorazio- AL
Hart heavyweight fight goes on to-
night at Uline Arena. These two big
boys last met on September 81 in
the same ring. and on that occasion
put up battle that for good fight
ing and action all the way has been
topped this year in Washington
only by the Dorazio-Joe Baksi slug
fest of last spring.
The distance tonight is u rounds
instead of the 10 they fought in
September. At that time Hart, COL
ored soldier stationed at the War
College here, weighed 226 and Do
razio did 200, which will be pretty
close to the poundage they carry
into the ring tonight.
Knockout Is Predicted.
Both camps have predicted knock
outs, but off the showing last time
it is difficult to see how either could
win by the kayo route. Hart was
supposed to be vulnerable around
the midsection and Dorazio con-
centrates on that area. But Hart
weathered the best Gus could throw
that time and Gus did connect with
some telling punches.
On the other hand, Hart is noted
for the chill he carries in his Left.
50 he clocked Gus numerous times
with a looping left that would have
laid low lesser opponents, but Gus
stood up and begged for more. So
unless there's a decided change in
the men, tonight's match should go
the limit. All that boxing fans here
ask is that the fight be as good as
it was last time.
The decision last time, inciden-
tally, was split.
Dorazio, who halls from Phila-
delphia, was supposed to get a shot

Neighborhood Rivalry
Spices Tilt Between
Close Opponents
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Faced with the necessity of win
ming this one or bidding good-by to
any chances of figuring in the high
school football championship play
off, Western and Wilson promise a
bangup battle tomorrow afternoon
when they meet at Central Stadium
in the spot schoolboy grid game of
the week. Starting time is 3 o'clock.
Both were preseason favorites, but
today they barely are hanging on to
mathematical chances of ousting
either Coolidge or Roosevelt, cur
rent leaders. Both took it on the
chin last week with Roosevelt top
ping Western and Eastern diSpoSing
of Wilson, and with these setbacks
still ranking the two teams are in
the mood for an all-out effort.
Add to this the fact that they are
hot neighborhood rivals and that
occasionally in the past their meet
ings have been the signal for flare
ups both on the field and in the
stands and you have the makings
for an exciting game.
Western Lineup About Same.
Western under Coach Fred Mulvey
will present about the same lineup
as used against Roosevelt last week,
with Ray Love, Bill Stratos, Brian
Bell and Bob Guillott in the back
field. Love cut his lip this week but
is expected to start. Nearly all play
ers were banged around a bit last
week against Roosevelt and still
sport an assortment of bruises and
bumps.
Bob Henry, Pearce Godfrey and
Stu Brown are Wilson'S backfleld
mainstays. An interesting angle to
tomorrow clash is that Godfrey
is one of the leading punters in
the series, with Bell of Western his
main rival. Both are experts at
quick kicking In fact. they are
the only two players who have used
season, and their rivalry may be
interesting to watch tomorrow.
Also interesting and promising a
close game are comparative scores.
Western beat Tech, 60, while Will
son played a scoreleSs tie against
the Maroons. Eastern beat West
ern, TO, and Wilson, 1876. West
ern topped Central, 20-7, while Will
son won, $50, over that team
Roosevelt beat Western, 100, and
Wilson, 1910 That leaves very little
to choose between the two.
Virginia Teams Clash.
Todays high school series games
have Coolidge at Central and Ana
costa at Eastern.
Also on tomorrow's schedule is
good football attraction in nearby
Virginia, with Mount Vernon at
Fairfax This is a benefit game,
with all proceeds going to the coun-
ty Community War Fund. Kickoff
time is 2:30, with ceremonies start
ing at 1:30. The Fairfax High
School Band will provide part of
the entertainment.
Mount Vernon has been bidding
for a place in the high school sun
recently and was undefeated this
year until it ran into the powerful
Gonzaga eleven last week Fair
fax, too, is growing bigger and STEP
ping out among the stronger elev-
ems and has won three of five games.
Only last week it showed power in
downing Lane High of Charlottes-
vile. 1870. Among its outstanding
players are End Jim Moeller, who
has turned in 36 points this season
to rank sixth among the leading
scorers on all teams in and around
Washington.

too lightly last time and that he's
been training more for this engage
ment. He tired before the end in
September and Hart had him hang
ing on. The extra two rounds for
which tonight's match is scheduled
is supposed to favor Hart. but the
price settlers yesterday had Gus a
