"A Johns Hopkins quint, bolstered

Paul Mitros. a sharpshooting for
ward, comes here tonight to help
Gailaudet launch q busy week end
for Capital cage teams. The two
Mason Dixon Conference rivals
/ square away at 8:15 on the Roose-
yelt High School court.
Another Mason-Dixon contest
high lights tomorrow nights pro-
gram, with American University's
unbeaten Eagles host to the potent
Bridgewater team. The latter has q
game with Washington College to-
night at Chestertown and should be
on edge for its return engagement
with A. U.
sMaryland's twin bill, featuring the
Terp ringmen VS.. North Carolina
Pref1ight following a court session
with Virginia, completes tomorrow
nights bill of fare.
Gallaudet After Revenge.
Gallaudet tonight will be out to
avenge 50-47 setback administered
by Loyola at Baltimore in an over
time game a couple Of months ago
and the Blues will have one eye
cooked for Buster Roche, whose o.
point performance mainly was re-
spensible for their downfall. On
their home floor, the District tossers
may have a slight edge, but on pa
per the game still seems to be a
tossup.
American U. should have its hands
full tomorrow against Bridgewater.
The Eagles had to put their best foot
forward to trounce the Virginians,
54-45, in an early season game, but
lately seem to have gotten a bit stale
and were pressed to exc out couple
OF recent decisions. Last Saturdays
easy victory over Randolph Macon
may have restored the edge to Coach
Artie Boyd's crew, but it'll have to
hustle to win.
Bridgewater may be in for a sur
prise. too. for it didn't have to face
Center Bob Lindeman in the first
game between the schools. Linde-
man, Ray Love, Hank Pizza and
Walter Smith were the big guns last
week and are expected to bear the
brunt of the attack again tomorrow
night. Bridgewater, however, has a
couple Of high-scoring gents in its
lineup-Bib Richards and Bob Houff
who racked up 20 and II points, re-
spectively, against A. U. in the first
game. If they're on the beam, it
will be high-scoring affair.
Terps Seek First Ring Win.
While Maryland's courtmen, idle
since Monday nights upset at V.M.I.,
are not given much chance of squar-
ing the 57-26 defeat administered by
Virginia last week, the Terps expect
to make better showing and if Jack
Flynn doesn't get speck in his eye
the fans may see more Of his expert
craftsmanship.
1t may be different in boxing, how
ever, for Maryland-hungry for its
first gloves victory Of the season
senses a chance to reverse the SIS
loss it dropped to North Carolina
Preflight last week. Several bouts
were close, particularly the 127-
pound argument in which the Terps
Ray Richards bowed to Jim Calvey
Another solid punch might have
swung the duke for Richards and he
hopes to get it In tomorrow night.
