Three Boxers Injured,
A. u. Drops Sport

American University has dropped
boxing from its sports program
and as a result scheduled matches
with Western Maryland, the Uni
versity of Maryland B team and
Catholic University have been
Cancelled.
Injuries to the squad and the
small number of men turning out
for the team were reasons for
abandoning the sport. Joe Cheese
man, 155 pounds; Walter Gala
CHER, 1875, and James Schnitzer,
145, are on the injured list. A. U.
already had dropped matches to
Army. Western Maryland and
CCNY.
The Eagles have tried boxing for
the past four years, but Director
of Athletics Staff Cassell said it
just wouldn't go over. 1t was diff
cult, he said, to get enough men
together to meet the opposition.

1wo-Mi|e Relay Mark
OF 1925 Is Target Of
6. j. in IC4-A Meet

The oldest record in IC4A in
door track, Georgetown's 2-mile
relay mark set in 1925, will be the
target of the Hoyas' National AAU
championship quartet in tomor-
rows IC4A meet in New York S
Madison Square Garden.
In 1925, the year Georgetown
won the team title, its 2-mile relay
team won in 7:41.6, the only rec
ord of that year that still stands.
Last week in the National AAU
meet over the same track George
town won in 7:44, excellent time
considering it had to run the heat
just SIS minutes before the final.
This week the heat will be at $50
and the 2-mile relay at II o'clock.
Coach Frank Sevigne will have
the same team of Pat O'Brien,
Dave Boland. Dave, Smith and
Joe Deadly available. That quar-
tet was timed in Tall in a Bos-
ton meet, but Sevigne isn't pre-
dieting any record-breaking per-
formance. He poi.. IS out that the
old Georgetown teams record has
stood long time, and against
good competition.
The Hoyas will have a mile re-
lay team of Vincent Cino, John
Lynch, James Rams and Mort
Kane and a freshman medley
quartet of Tom Voorhees,, Bob
Cusack, Don Stonehouse and Joe
La Pierre. Bill Mitchell will take
another crack at the hurdles.
Michigan State, favored to win
the team title, will be the only
newcomer to the 2-mile field that
Georgetown defeated last week.
Inasmuch as freshman points do
not count, Sevigne, said George
town has no chance for the team
title, which Michigan State won
last year.

game against st. Johns the Eagles
weren't certain that many others
thought so too. But all traces OF
mlsgivings were wiped out when
they upset the Metropolitan Cath

Uline Arena.
Those two other teams conSid-

good records" said Coach Joe
Kozik of Gonzaga, "and I guess
they thought they had as much
right in the tourney as we did.
We have beaten some good teams
and we've lost to some teams we
should have beaten and we are
happy to be in The Star tourna-
ment."
With five minutes of the game
gone last night and St. Johns
leading. 81, Gonzaga's choice as
a tourney team seemed remote.
But the fighting Eagles kept plug
ging away until they took the
lead in the third period and went
on to win.

After the game a jubilant, smil-
Ing Kozik greeted reporters in the
dressing room.
Now I feel much better" he
said. Il don't think we'll hurt the
tournament a bit. AS matter OF
fact, might say we feel pretty
good about our chances"
The Eagles, who wind up their
regular season in a Catholic
League game against St. Anthony's

have season record of Is VIC
tories and 10 losses. But they've
won 10 Of their last 13 games, los

of them are football players. So
I switched to zone and it's paid

man before. but I've been con-
