Evening star., 1946-02-10

the strain of Friday nights terrific
tussle with North Carolina, but still
had enough zip to come back after
losing the lead and hold the Cava-
liers at bay in rousing finish.
The Terrapins' big gun was Bill
Brown with IA points.
Rogers and Beck in Brawl.
1t would be just as well to forget
the 120-pound bout between Mary
lands Jose CAIRO and Arthur CO.
day. 1t was called draw and was
rather clumsily fought and unin-
teresting.
Phil Rogers of Maryland f1oored
AL Beck four times, once in each
of the first two rounds and twice
in the final and hit the deck him
self in the second In chalking up
a decisive win over the Kings Point
gamester. For thrills and action it
surpassed any match witnessed at
College Park since prewar days.
Rogers started like a windmill In
gale and Beck was willing to swap
punches and it quickly developed
into a brawl. Rogers caught a
swinging right flush on the
chin in the second and apparently
was out on his feet the rest of the
round but still came back to floor
Beck. The Terp carried the third
by a wide margin, dropping his
rival halfway through the round
and again at the bell.
Filbert Victim Of TKO.
Bill Filbert, Maryland's light
weight, was making a great come
back in the final round of his scrap
with Johnny Cho when he bumped
into sharp, straight right and lost
on TKO. Filbert was up at 10
but obviously in no cendition to
continue.
The Old Liner stung Cho and al
most stretched him with a singing
right to the head in the second, but
couldn't follow up the advantage.
Billy Greer used a left jab and
right to the body with telling effect
in carving out a decision over Joe
Ollinger in the 145-pound bout. It
was sweet revenge for the Old Liner,
who lost the nod to his rival in their
first meeting in Ollinger's home ring.
Tommy Maloney tatooed his
initials on lanky Stan Wheatley's
chin for three rounds to win an easy
verdict, atoning for his loss to the
mariner two weeks ago. Wheatley
was a dangerous puncher, lightning
fast, but the clever Terp never let
him get set.
Maloney beat Wheatley to nine
out of 10 punches and when he be-
gan to tire in the last round he used
his ring wizardry to keep out Of
trouble.
Brown Suffers Knockout.
Dick Ross, Kings Point captain,
caught Lou Brown flush on the
button with looping round to win
by knockout after 20 seconds of
the second round of their 165-pound
bout. They fought an even first
round when Brown looked as good
as his opponent.
AS precautionary measure,
Brown spent the night in the Mary
land infirmary.
Joe Saez pounded out a decision
over inexperienced Pat Mccarthy In
the light-heavy weight class to pull
Kings Point up on even terms with
Maryland. Saez knew how to use
his left but when it came to mixing
Mccarthy was equal. Saez had to
travel at top speed in the last round
to win.
Basket Game Is Thriller.
After an even start, Maryland
jumped ahead in the court thriller
and ranup an lis lead on the Cava-
liers. At that stage it seemed as if it
was only a question of how rye the
score would be, but it wasn't long
before the teams began playing for
keeps and Virginia slowly but surely
pressed forward. Bill Brown, Vic
Turyn and Pete Pinocci paced the
Terps' attack, but Gus Huerich and
Bill Pandak spanked a counter
offensive equally as potent.
Virginia led at the half, 1917,
thanks to potshot by Pete Noe,
but Johnny Edwards sank one for
Maryland at the start of the final
period and, although twice tied and
several times reduced to a 1-point
lead, the home team never again
trailed.
1t was nip and tuck, not to say
bruising, all through the final period
and several times it seemed that Vir-
|ginia was on the verge of snatching
victory, but with the Terps nursing
"a slim 1892 lead, Brown dropped
one for Maryland and, after Huerich
hit for Virginia, converted a foul.
Baptist fired Virginia's final two
pointer, but Maryland successfully
controlled the ball until time ran
