lunder-par So in yesterdays opening

FOUNDER, Andy Quattrocchi, and
Catholic University's Johnny
Arnold. a lightweight. Cav.
anagh had a much too brief
glimpse of Arnold last Saturday
night to pass judgment on him.
The Cardinal clouter laid out
Arnny's Vernon Guarstein in 40
seconds hat-almost a record for
the course. 1t took Quattrocchi
a minute longer to dispose OF
Don Bitter at West Point, but
that minute was enough to con-
vince the Irishman that Andy
is sure-fire Olympic material.
The weights are against coll
lege fighters In the lighter brack-
cts and Cavanagh had something
to do with it. He was instru-
mental in getting the rules COM
mittee to eliminate the 49,
pound, class and there isn't such
a thing as a 112-pounder In COL
lege ranks. The 130-pound
bracket is an odd size and the
fighter has to make on the dot.
No longer can he scale a couple
of pounds over. That means a
collegian in that class either

The Federal Golf Association, its
activities limited by the overcrowded
conditions of the Districts public
and semi-public golf courses, is go
ing to poll the Government golfers,
asking for help in determining
methods to increase the facilities
in this area.
With the public courses jafnmed
on evenings and week ends and all
but four of the private courses
closed to the Federal golfers be-
cause Of heavy tournament sched-
ules, the FGA has been operating
for % years under handicaps which
would have killed a less hardy
group.
It was learned at the annual
meeting last night at the Federal
Power Commission that the FGA
was on the point of signing con-
tract for a 400-acre plot in Prince
Georges County last year, but ne
gotiations fell through at the last
minute. At the time the FGA did
not have a member who could de-
vote his full time to the project.
The organization still has hopes
of owning its own golf course and
eventually owning courses in three
counties bordering the District.

Lunnon If he wants to go. In
his a years coaching Billy says
he hasn't seen many fighters, in
or out of college, with so much
potential ability.
AS for Arnold, Eddie LaFond OF
C. U. thinks he has the makings
of a great ringman. Arnold lost
to Quattrocchi last year and was
nursing a broken hand this sea-
son when the Terps and Cards
got together. The Cardinal
clouter wanted another shot at
the Terp and was willing to take
his chances with the broken
paw to get it, but LaFond held
him of. In the long run it was
the best strategy because of the
West Point match Arnold seems
to have a good chance for an
Olympic berth and a few more
bouts under the belt won't hurt.
It may be that he'll get his
return engagement with Andy in
the Olympic trials when a win
will mean something more than
another entry in the record book.
Both boys resume their war
ring tomorrow night when Mary
land invades Bucknell while
Catholic U. travels to New Lon
don, Conn, to engage the Coast
Guard Academy. It's possible
that their Olympic aspirations
may be knocked into cooked
hat in these matches, but who's
seen q cooked hat lately?
