"A
With the honor of West Point at
stake, Blond Bobby Dobbs stepped
into the ring last night at the Uni
versity of Maryland and hammered
Heavyweight Dave Wills into sub
mission to bring his teammates a
So decision over the Old Line mitt
team.
The loss still left Maryland with
an even break for the evening, for
the home court team fought off
North Carolina States furious clos
ing rally to chalk up a 37-33 win.
Mills showing vast improvement
over his first appearance in the Vir-
ginia match, tossed plenty of leather
at his lighter opponent, but Dobbsi
punches were sharper and more ef-
fective
Dobbs shook up the Marylander
in the second with a brisk belt on
the whiskers and had command of
the bout all the way. 1t was ap-
parent as the final round opened
that Mills needed at least a knock
down to win or tie, but every time
he moved in the West Pointer was
waiting for him with both guns
blazing.
Caro- Loses Close Bout.
Jose CAIRO of Maryland fought a
game but losing bout against Dave
Barnett in the curtain-lifting 120-
pound bout. Caro- took the second
round but Barnett finished stronger
to gain a slight edge.
Phil Rogers staggered Bob Dan
iel with hot right to the jaw in
the second round of their 127-pound
duel and went on to win for the
Terps. Rogers was not in the best
condition but carried entirely too
many guns for the West Pointer,
scoring repeatedly with left jabs and
right crosses to the head.
West Points Bill Hiestand fought
lightweight Hal Donofrio's south
paw stance no puzzle and belted him
out in 1853 of the third round.
Heistand found Donofrio an easy
target from the second round on.
Steve Connor, Army's Eastern
145-pound champ, won close de-
cision over Bill Greer that was
hooted. Connor landed stagger-
ing right to Greer's jaw in the sec
ond and that blow gained the ver-
dict. Greer rallied in the third but
couldn't close the gap.
Maloney Scores Handily.
Tommy Maloney got a point for
Maryland and squared an account
with Amos Jordan, Army captain
eastern 155-pound champion. by
carving out a clean cut decision.
Jordan spent most of the fight
brushing Maloney's leather out of
his face
Lou Brown, 165 FOUNDER, took
everything Armys Johnny Castle
had to offer but gave nothing and
lost by a wide margin. Brown
forced the fighting but the cool,
machine like Castle peppered him
constantly with lefts.
Ken Malone, Maryland light
heavy, beat tattoo on Johnny
Cairns ribs for three rounds and
piled up an easy decision. Malone
staggered his foe in the second
round and had him hanging on at
the finish
Terps' Early .eac Tells.
Maryland's basketers rolled up q
20-7 advantage in the first hall
when the Gamecocks hit for a mere
three field goals. Nor were the Terps
pressed during the final stanza until
the last four minutes.
Then Carolina, battling desper-
ately, chalked up six consecutive
field goals to take a short lived 33- 81
lead. But Maryland had enough left
to come back and snatch the lau-
rels. Red Polling found Vic Turyr
wide open under the basket for ar
easy snowbird and 80 seconds latel
Don Gleasner fired another pass tc
the same man for the clinching
points.
Howard Turner, sparkplug of the
visitors attack, poured IA points
Nickel and Johnson lent a helping
hand in the final but futile drive.
Maryland's scoring was we'll di-
vided, but Jack Flynn, Terp ace and
leading college point getter in the
Washington area, was held to sin
gle field goal and foul.
