Hudtloff invited any one inter-

Catholic u. Underdou,
In Ring Match With
Green Terrors

Western Maryland's ringmen,
coached by Harry Jeffra, former
world ha.ntamweight champion,
probably will be slight favorites over
Catholic University when they in
wade Brookland tomorrow night to
help the Cardinals launch their
campaign.
Jeffra's team, which already has
met Maryland, Penn State and
Army. has shown rapid improve
ment since the beginning Of the sea-
son and its tie with Army last week
indicates 1t will be a tough nut for
the Cards to crack.
Five lettermen are on the roster,
including 127-pounders Jack Alex
ander and Frank Zeigler, Frank
Faughman, 135 pounds; Charley
Goodwin, 155, and Howard Hall, 145.
Most of the Green Terrors' strength
is concentrated in the lower brackets
as Jeffra has only one heavyweight,
Hank Ferris, and one nght-heavy,
Curt Laupheimer.
Coach Eddie La Fond of C. U. has
hopes Of pulling another upset and
has his squad in fine fettle for the
fracas. The Brooklanders' hopes
seem to be vested In Price Welch,
100 pounds; Raphael Obregon, 1876;
Pete Obedinski, ITS, and Bernie
Cody, heavy.

CIV. High Five Choice
Over WI. Tonight
In BaIIston Tilt
Carries Smart Record
Into Struggle With
Traditional Rival

George Washington High of Alex
andria is favorite over its tradi-
tional rival, Washington-Lee High,
as they meet tonight at Ballston in
the first of two basket ball games
they will play this season.
With Joe Hensley, rated by COM
petent critics as the best schoolboy
center in this area, leading the way,
G. WIS Presidents have lost only
once In eight starts, and hold vic
tories over such good opposition as
Bulls, Tech and Eastern, having
split a pair of games with the latter.
Among the other outstanding
courtmen playing under Coach
Rasty Doran are Calvin Bailey, Billy
Bell and Charles Campbell. The
Presidents will be out for some meas
ure of revenge tonight. Last year,
after splitting a pair against the
Generals, they were defeated by
their rivals in the first round of
The Stars Metropolitan tournament.
Washington-Lee went on to win the
Metro title and a trip to the Glen
Falls IN. " tournament.
The Generals this season have not
been up to par and have won only
one of four games. A late start
handicapped them and there still Is
plenty OF time for them to compile a
good average, especially with the
talent available in Bob Phillips, Bob
HUFF, Myron Gerber, Ronald Brown
and Billy Earl.

Baseball Raises 0kay,
Even Above $4,000,
Government Rules
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. =
Baseball players may have their
salary raises If they can Wheedle
them out Sof the club owners, the
Treasury's Bureau of Internal Rev.
enue has ruled. Moreover, they may
poke q hole In the $25.0o0 salary
ceiling-if they convince the bureau
there Is basis in merit or service
for such an increase.
The bureau has directed that clubs
must file a schedule of last years
salaries. The range from the lowest
to the highest will be accepted as
the clubs established salary sched-
ule. Any man below the top figure
may be raised to that figure for
merit or service" without prior per-
mission from the bureau and since
that includes all but a handful of
players the usual individual bar
gaining for fatter contracts will be
in order.
Joe Di Maggie, whose S42, 900 made
him the highest paid player in the
game last year, and top-paid men
on other clubs could ask raise, but
whatever agreements they may
reach with the owners must be sub
mitted to the bureau, which will
decide whether such raises should
be granted.
