AAU Meet Tomorrow
Is Telling Test for
Olympic HopefuIs
By the Assoeiofsd Prass


NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The 1s48
indoor track season comes up to
one Of its major spectacles to-
morrow night at Madison Square
Garden and when the three-hour
show is ended Olympic hopefuls by
the score should have a pretty good
idea where they stand.
The affair Is the 60th annual Ma
tional AAU championships, with all
most 800 star athletes entered from
20 States. There are champions
galore sprinkled through the huge
entry list.
Headliners are present in each
Of the Is events and many will be
found wearing this country's Olym-
pic shield when the games begin in
London next summer.
With Gil Dodds, the premier
miller out of action due to mumps,
the 600-yard run looks the major
attraction of the night.
So many speedsters have been
entered in the 600, in fact, a series
Of preliminary heats will be neces-
sary to trim the field.
Topping the list of Al runners
are the defending champion, VII
lanovas George Guida; Herb Nc
Kenley Of Jamaica, world 440-yard
record holder and National AAU
400-meter champ; Colorado's Dave
Bolen, the No. / American quarter
miller; Bob McFarlane, Canadian
titlist. and Arrny's Jack Hammack.
Penn States Gerry Karver, vic
tor in the New York A. G. games
mile last week, will be absent to-
morrow, leaving things pretty wide
open in this event. Karver goes to
Notre Dame for a dual meet.
Herbert Douglas of Pittsburgh is
back to defend his broad jump
title; Curtis Stone, formerly of Penn
State, will defend his 1947 Smile

Maryland Won't Hold
Tatum II Carolina
Job Is Offered

II Carl Snavely, North Carolina
football coach, accepts the offer to
coach the Los Angeles Dons of the
All-America Football Conference,
the No. choice as his successor very
likely will be Jim Tatum, head
coach at Maryland.
Tatum, who recently signed an
other five-year contract to coach
the Old Liners, said this morning
that he knows nothing about the
North Carolina situation except
what he reads in the papers. I
haven't been contacted by any one
from down there and the way I see
it, they probably won't be needing
q coach. Snavely is well liked there
and has good setup, and they want
to keep him. He'd have to leave
first before they would start looking
for somebody else"
The possibility of Tatum going to
North Carolina If Snavely leaves is
not a remote one. AS a native OF
the State, an alumnus OF the scnool
and a former assistant coach there,
he's their logical No. 1 choice. And
It is believed highly probable he'd
accept such an offer If he could be
released from his Maryland contract.
That would pose little difficulty.
DR.. H. G. Byrd, Maryland president.
said recently when discussing coaches
and contracts, 1--WE wouldn't want
to keep a man who wanted to go
some place else. Regarding Tatum,
he's set here as long as he wants to
stay and / don't believe we'd lose
him to any place except possibly
North Carolina"
Tatum's chief assistant coach,
Walt Driskill, also is in the news
today as a possibility as assistant
coach to Bud Wilkerson at Okla
homa. Driskill was assistant coach
there when Tatum coached there IN
194s. Regarding the Oklahoma post,
Driskill said: tits news to me. I
haven't talked to the president out
there. So far as I know, I will be
here at Maryland next football sea-
son hale, hearty and happy"

Atmosphere Ten.
By Lewis r. Atehison


Two youngsters in head protect
ors and perspiration- -drenched
sweat suits lashed at one an
other with the persistency Of
gamecocks. A tall, gawky heavy
weight laconically drumming
sodden fists on the light bag
paused and glanced hurriedly
at them, while a squad of other
ringmen strained and sweated
at their appointed chores.
Fight camps on the eve Of an
important match are the same
the world over. The settings
vary, the language is different
and the air is not always heavy
with the odor of liniment, but
the nervous tension, the striving
for perfection, sweating and the
haunting fear of a last-minute
injury Is unchanging.
1t was like that yesterday at
Catholic U. where the Cardinals
ended heavy work for tomorrow's
match with West Point at
Brookland. The figures in the
ring were battling for the one
vacant berth on the team and
were dead serious.
Coach Eddie La Fond leaned
over the ropes barking instruc-
tions.
"Sidestep when he rushes you"
he called to Cal Nilsson, "and
counter with the left hook. Keep
your chin down. Calnan."
Ray Calnan, back in the ring
after several years of real war,
insisted on boring in, failing
away with both gloves while MIS-

son weaved, lodged, drove left
jabs through the small openings
that opened up in Calnan's de-
fense.
Young blades wearing clothes
with the latest campus cut, were
draped around the ring, resting
their arms on the canvas apron
and becoming ring experts in one
easy lesson. Textbooks were in
congruous with the boxing setup.
The last round came up and
the two boxers were called apart
by the coaches.
This time fight yourself out"
La Fond instructed Nilsson. IF
you can't go three rounds today

of 203 held by Sam Simon, fellow
worker. when a thin headpin hit
left the S, 7 and 10 break standing
in the final frame. The two bowlers
are electricians at the big print shop.

chester Packard team of the Major
District League to its national record
773 score at Clarendon early last
month.
