Dynamite IS Choice
To Repeat Against
ILeBrun Tomorrow

Featherweight Little Dynamite
of washington is an 8-5 favorite
to beat Leo LeBrun of Canada
again when they tangle in a To-
rounder tomorrow night in the
feature fight at Turner's Arena
Dynamite defeated LeBrun back
in 1949 in an eight-rounder, and
since then has risen to a promin-
ent place among Washington s
126-pounders. Briefly this winter
he held the District featherweight
title. but lost 1t back to Jimmy
Cooper when he dislocated his
left hip and couldn't get up after
being knocked down.
Since that last Cooper fight he's
come back by beating Richie (Kid)
Howard who previously had
beaten Cooper.
Although Dynamite is favored
tomorrow night because he is q
hard hitter and in turn can take
a good punch without damage
he goes against another strong boy
in LeBrun. LeBrun showed his
staying power last week when he
staged a late rally to draw with
Cooper after being floored in the
sixth round.
A victory for Dynamite tomor-
row night might earn him the
spot opposite Cooper in the out
door fight opener at Griffith Sta
dium May 7.
Cooper already is booked for the
stadium spot and at one time
seemed ready to meet Dynamite
but of late he, or at least his
manager. has been playing coy
about accepting Dynamite. But
if Dynamite wins tomorrow night
it's likely Cooper virtually will be
forced to accept him as opposition
for the opener.
Three five-rounders and a pair
of fours are on the preliminary
program. starting at 8:45 pm.
In fives. Johnny Pratt meets AL
Winn. Clarence Hinnant meets
Johnny Cunningham, and Charley
Bennett goes against Paddy
Bullock.

Interhigh League Has Problem:
How to Stop h-Scoring Tech
(Another in a Series.)
By Brion Bell, Jr.

With the Interhigh basketball
season only a few games old, the
big questions already is: who's
going to beat Tech?"
The Trainers, last seasons
league titlist and Star tourua-
ment champion. lost high-scoring
Tony Sgro from their fine team
and they were not supposed to
be as powerful in 1850. But
Interhigh coaches will say they're
better than ever.
At this time Tech, with a 20
league mark. is tied with Roose-
velt and Coolidge for the lead.
The Trainers meet Western at
Uline at $3.50 this afternoon and
will have to play good ball to
come out on top. But good ball
is what they've been playing all
season and they will be Zig
favorites today.
Coach Dutch Usilaner has a
well-rounded club with two high
scorers in Snookie Herman and
Bill Breen and another good point
getter in George Marshall. All
the Trainers shoot well. hustle the
entire game and get the rebounds.
Loses Only to A. U. Frosh.
Tech had no trouble with
Chamberlain and Anacostia, WIN
ming 71-43 and 7o-36, and in
outside competition it's been
rough too. The only Trainer loss
this season was to the American
University freshmen, 56-53, while
they beat strong Washington-Lee
