ton. Wilmington, they point out,
barely edged out Raleigh, 1896.
Wilson, on the other hand, tramp
led the Caps, $40. This makes
the Cyclones, on paper, II points
better than Wilmington.
Coach Hank Madden of Wilson
is also optimistic over his clubs
chances. The Cyclone pilot, who
took over the coaching duties at
Wilson in 1915 after holding an
assistant coach's job at Boys High
in Atlanta, Georgia, said yester-
day in a telephone conversation
with the Star: eyes, we have i'm
proved greatly since our game with
Wilmington, and I believe that to-
nights contest will be very much
closer than that 1884 licking we
suffered from New Hanover High
last month"
Coach Madden is not taking a
bit of credit away from the locals,
however. He told your correspon-
dent that "the Wildcats are the
best high school basketball. players
I have seen since I've been in
forth Carolina"
Asked what his starting lineup
will be tonight, Coach Madden
disclosed that he would use Ham"
Crowder, 5 #. 7 in, and Allison
Wells, 5 it. 10 in, at forwards;
Jimmy Bull" Newsome, 6 #. 2

last month.
Coach Leon Brogden will send
on the Wilson floor at the starting
whistle a basketball five that has
won II out of IS games this sea-
son. First, there is Billy Mason,
6 #. 1 in. tall, who is a fine re-
bounder and push shot. Then there
is 6 it. 6 in. Johnny McKoy,
probably the best defensive C of
the Wildcat aggregation, and a
great set shot. Next come three
ball handlers, who rank among the
best in high school history, w. A.
'Weinie" Brown, To-day Fennell,
and Louis Collie. Brown is rated
the fastest dribbler to ever come
out of Wilmington. Fennell, a
,irst stringer for three out of his
four years in high school stands
out as a long shot and hook shot
artist. Collie is the passer of the
crowd and also a reliable set shot
from the right side of the court.
Luke is the only boy on the first
team who can shoot equally well
with both hands.
Right behind this starting array
will be a team composed of Char
lie Smith, Leroy Towles, Marion
Rogers, Don Hyatt, and Johnny
Crowley. This crew boasts three
of the best set shots in the confer

Terropin Boxing Hopes Are Hit
As Quuttrocchi Breaks Hand

Maryland's hopes of winning the
first postwar Southern Conference
boxing tournament, slated for the
Terrapins' home ring late this
month, took a tumble yesterday
when Andy Quattrocchi, crack 130-
FOUNDER, came down with a broken
right hand.
+ The busy little New Yorker busted
his persuader in the second round
of last Friday nights bout with Bob
Thomasian of Kings Point. He
floored Thomasian in the first with
a right to the head, shook him up
with more of the same in the second
but slowed down in the third. He
complained of pain in the hand
after the bout, but the full damage
later was revealed by an X-ray. He
will be out for the rest of the
season.
Coach Heinie Miller, who is shoot
ing for the national as well as con-
ference crown, said he probably

ArnoId's Good Record
Being Overlooked
In Hursey BuiIdup

In all the buildup for. Smuggy
Hursey's fight on Thursday night
at Uline Arena is has been over
looked that Billy Arnold. the Phila-
delphia' boy who furnishes the op-
position, is far from being the
worlds worst fighter. Smuggy has
been getting all the notices because
ID he's a local boy; (2) he's a
croud pleaser who hits hard with
both fists, and 90 he's managed by
Henry Armstrong and fights a lot
like his mentor.
Arnold's record shows that he,
too,, is a knockout fighter. In his
last tuneup two weeks ago he came
off the floor to stop Lennox Dingle
in six rounds at Philadelphia. Din
gle, by the way, beat Hursey year
or so ago. Billy's pro record is AZ
wins, 38 by knockout, in 46 fights.
He'd had one draw and lost three,
one knockout by Rocky Graziano.
He also lost to Fritzie. Zivic two
years ago when Fritzie was better
than he is now, and also dropped
the duke to Billy Carrigan. He later
stopped Carrigan in three.
Among those he's stopped is Red
Doty, frankie Wills, Cat Robinson,
Milo Theodorescu and Ray Rovelli.
He has decisioned Ralph zanelli and
Billy Furrone.
Billy is working out daily at Lib
erty A. G. gym on Ninth street,
while Smuggy is working at Still
mans in New York and won't arrive
here until Wednesday. Manager
Armstrong says he can find better
sparring partners for Smuggy in
New York, as local boys have shown
a tendency to dodge him.
Armstrong incidentally has plans
for a rematch between Hursey and
Arnold in Philadelphia if they put
up a good bout here. Henry also
