class. One of only four men ever
to win an NCAA championship

Citadel is regarded as a tossup.
The Cards upset victory over
/ Syracuse and their followup win
over Georgetown is evidence that
Coach Eddie La Fond has his men
at their peak. But they'll need all

Bulldogs.

in c. US lineup. Joe Incarnato

135-pound class. Arnold is get
ting a well-deserved rest this week

keymen to put over a victory.
Dale Matthews, its l65-pound con-
ference champion. is regarded as
a certain winner over Billy Maher.
while Tommy Virgins, 145-
FOUNDER, seems to carry too many
guns for Cal Nilsson. Bill Ohlandt,
a tWo-flsted heavyweight, is the
Bulldogs third ace and figures to
have the edge on lanky Charley
Rohr.
The Citadel blasted Maryland
in it's debut and aims to make it
/ two in a row from teams in this
area, but a primed and polished
Cardinal team that seems to have
an edge in the lighter weights may
surprise the visitors.
