Boxing Coaches Heinie Miller
of Maryland and Eddie La Fond
of Catholic U. have good reason
to be whistling to keep UP their
spirits, what with a couple Of
tough opponents moving into
their neighborhoods.
The Terps face Louisiana State,
fresh from a 6-2 victory over vir-
einia, tomorrow night at College

the most vigorous pillow-pushins

bouts in dual competition last year

his college career.

round of the title tourney by q
