middleweight champion (above), and
George Abrams, of Washington,
D. c., move out of their corners for
a scheduled ten-rounder at Madison
Square Garden tonight, it will be the
first important international middle
weight match since 1887.
Cerdan, a choice French fsticuffer,
has a brilliant record -. SO knock
outs in 90 fights. The Moroccan
Bombardier," as he is called, has lost
only twice-both times on fouls.
In his American debut, Cerdan
comes up against a seasoned per-
former. Perhaps the most scientific
boxer in the 160-lb. class, George has

Lynn Waldorf, Northwestern, was
surprised when some of the vets

the Saturday games for more than
brief periods, asked to be trans
ferred to the "B" squad so they

Some coaches found that the for

they didn't recover from injuries
as quickly as players who had not
served in the armed forces.

ideas.
With the formation of this loop Wilmington will
have three semi-pro leagues, unless it is decided to COM

The Brigade Varsity basketball team played their
first home game at the Brigade court last night ...
The Brigaders, under the leadership of Harold Cutler,
new physical director of the Brigade, displayed an ex-
celent brand of basketball.
Cutler recently took over the reins of the physical
program at the Brigade. Teamed with Jimmy Cope
land, the club director, these two men are planning a
full program for the youngsters.
And while we are passing out the roses may we add
a couple of more names to the list -.
Bert Hawley, athletic director of the City recrea-
ton department last night had a gathering of over so
young boys at the Second and Orange street USO club
-. The purpose was to present them with Gold NINA
tue footballs 49,. The sponsors of the various teams
were present and gave the balls to the boys who partici-
pated in the Touch Football league -. Yes, Bert Hawley
has done a good job with the recreation program.
And let's not forget our old friend Adam Smith
of the Y.M.C.A. We have worked with him on several
events and find. him to be. a :tireless worker, a man,
that when he makes his mind up to carry out a program
will not leave a stone unturned until the task has been
completed. Adam is doing a marvellous job at the
"Y". He is at present busy with his basketball program y
and several leagues are playing on the "Y" court each
week.

gridiron talents of ex-GI's with
mixed feelings of unbounded praise
and constructive criticism.
Most common of the faults to be
found with GI-gridsters by

many who liked to mix it on Sat-
urday didn't care for the week
long practices and baked at rid

A great many coaches had moth
ing but nice things to say about
the former servicemen on their
squads, however, and nobody hint
ed that they weren't a welcome
addition to the game which was
reduced to a state approaching
schoolboy level in some quarters
during the war years.
Despite the difficulty of read
justment on the part of some ex-
GTs, the records show that as a
group they virtually dominated the
play throughout the season and
were largely responsible for max
ing it the best year Of them al
