1errapin Boxers Face
Michigan State Tonight

Maryland's boxing team, gun
ming for its fifth victory of the
season, will send well-balanced
lineup against Michigan State to-
night at College Park, including
four men who fought against
the Spartans last year. The first
bout is scheduled for 8:15.
Andy Quattrocchi, fighting at
1875 pounds; Paul Kostopolous,
145; Don Oliver, 155, and Heavy
weight George Fuller, boxed
against State with varying re-
suits last year. Fuller, who lost
to Gabby Marek on a TKO, and
Oliver. who got a draw with
Rae Johnston, are key men in
Maryland's victory plans for to-
night.
Quattrocchi is counted an al
most certain winner if he sees
action. State may revamp its
lineup at Weighing-in time and
skip the busy little New Yorker
in hopes of picking up another
point somewhere along the line.
A disputed draw with Miami
in the latter's ring, is the only
blemish on Maryland's record
this season and Coach Heinie
Miller's outfit may be headed for
its best record in Maryland his
tory. Michigan State, under
Coach George Makris, has won
two matches, lost one and tied
another.

The announcement by the

But Manager Casey Stengel took

This might be my last year."
DiMaggio said in an interview.
II would like to have good year,

in double plays. He knows no
superior at swooping in on a
topped ball, taking it barehanded
and throwing accurately to first
base.
That was the result of hours
of Bluege's instruction. When the
Mats had night games, Yost would
report to Griffith Stadium at 4
o'clock. He was a one-man class,
with Bluege the teacher, and if
Ossie had any complaint concern
ing his pupil it was that he worked
too hard.
HE wore himself to a frazzle
trying to learn" Ossie said, "but
the way he came along was some
thing to watch. He was eager to
get all the knowledge he could and
it was a pleasure to see him de-
velop."
I'm not exaggerating," Harris
cut in, "last year Eddie hit so
drives down the leftf1eld line which
went foul by less than two feet.
If he ever straightens 'em out a
little bit, he'll be real rough. He
should improve on that .295 aver
age this year."

Yost believes improved bunting
helped boost his average last sea-
son. II beat out 10 or IL bunts

he says.
Eddie's baseball schooling hasn't
ceased and neither has his formal
education. He recently received
a degree in physical education at
New York University, reaching
that goal with off-season study
Now he has embarked on his mas
ter's degree.
Only "a, Eddie arrived" last

stroke and ability. All he needed
was experience"
Hell get better, I think"
Milan continued. Hes not yet
the ball player he can be. He
still makes a few mistakes that
he'll correct. For a good hitter,
he takes too many strikes. He
should be swinging more, particu-
