ter mile, the half mile, the shot

On the basis of past p%erforman-
ces, this is the way the competition

ed by C. L.. Chambers OF N. c.
State, Lynn Chewing of v. M. l.,
Billy Poe of Clemson. Doug Ausbon
and Bill Aumen of Duke, and Lad
die Terrell and Ted Haigler OF
! North Caroina.
Roger Neighborgall of Duke looks
good for the quarter mile and the
halt, which he has run in 1915 and
1:57.7, respectively. But he'll have
to watch North Cardinals Charlie
| Tietjen and Maryland's Devlin.
North Cardinals Mark Durham,
ex-Dartmouth runner, should take
the mile, but Kehoe OF Maryland
and Downes of Duke look good, too.
In the two-mile, the favorite is
Jim Davis of Duke, who ran it in
1906 against North Carolina.
Both hurdles events may 60 to
Chunk Simmons of the Tar Heels.

Although neither Woodcock nor
Muriello ever has been knocked
out, the boxing experts believe the
contest will end short of the, 10
round limit. The English boxer
has uncovered a good punch dur
ing his training sessions at Bear
Mountain and the Bronx slugger
has a reputation of his w as a
walloper, having stopped SO of rs
foes.
The Britisher's best stock in
trade is a short right hand under

to hit. Mauriello fights best when

Woodcock favored yer Mauriello

NEW YORK, May 16-R-Bruce
Woodcock, the fighting Yorkshire
man who holds the British Empire
heavyweight championship, hopes
to upset tradition Friday night in
his 1O-round Madison Square Gar
den bout with Tami Mauriello of
New York by becoming the first
English name" heavy to win his
first bout in the United States.
Although British boxing prestige
was slightly damaged Tuesday
when Les Lesnevich stopped Tom
INV Mills to retain his lightheavy-
weight crown, Woodcock is deter
mined to erase the popular Ameri-
can notion that English heavy
weights can't fight.
Woodcock, with a stunning re-
cord of "a knockouts in Is pro

make American fans forget such

today, going one each against AL

The challenger, who expressed
disappointment in his condition yes

in an effort to improve his timing.

Runs In ST. Defeat OF
Colts By BUGS
By SACHS
Star SnOrtS Editor

George Brooks limited the An
gier-Fuquay hit production to four
bingles last night to lead the Will
mington Pirates to a S to 1 victory
in a Tobacco State League played
at American Legion stadium.
After giving up a run in the first
inning, the former Gastonna pit
cher settled down to turn in n
of the incest hurting chores seen at
the stadium this season IN Tobacco
State play.
In all, Brooks gave up only two
walks and struck out 10. After the
first inning when successive dou-
bles by Privette and Lorenz &C.
counted for the Colts only tally,
the right handler was never in
trouble.
After the Colts jumped off the
Ito 0 advantage, the BUGS came
back to sew up the ball game.
Strickland worked Taylor for a
walk. Allen sent q grounder to Tay-
lor, but when the Colt pitcher at
tempted to throw to second the
wet sphere slipped out of his hand
and rolled towards left field. Bob
Lauffer lined a triple to left scor-
ing both runners and Manager
Mickey Katkaveck followed with a
sharp single past short. Katkev-
eek later scored for the Pirates
during the inning on a Angler mis-
cue
The Pirates added a run in the
sixth. After Lancaster had flied out,
Skinner was hit by a pitched ball.
He stole second and scored on an
overthrow by Shortstop Rogers.
The Pirates take to the road
again today meeting the Dunn
Erwin Twins at Dunn.
Andy Cullen continued his spark
ling play at short for the BUGS last
night. In the third inning he took
Eubanks hump-backed liner behind
the pitchers mound and threw to
first to double b%aserunner Tay-
lor. In the ninth inning he again
went behind the pitchers mound to
snag Privette's slashing liner.

had a rough time of it. Chasing a
