Winnie PaIumbo Due
For Terp Ring Debut
AGAINST Penn State

Frank Cronin. boxing coach at
the University of Maryland. is
planning only one change in
the lineup that lost to Syracuse
three weeks ago. 4la-3h, when
the Terps go against Penn State
in Richie Coliseum Saturday
night.
Vincent (Vinnie) Palumbo,
who gained eligibility for var
sity competition when he be-
came a sophomore this week. is
just too good to be denied a
starting chance, Cronin feels, in
spite OF having his most solid
performers in the lower weight
classes.
Palumbo won the Golden
Gloves championship of his home
town of Newark. N. j., two years
ago and normally completes in
the 139-pound division. Cronin
will assign him to the 132-pound
bout Saturday night replacing
Guido Capri. another former
Golden Gloves champion.
Cronin thus elects to retain
Eric HintZe in the 139-pound
class and go along with scant ex-
perience at that weight. Hintze,
whose only boxing before this
year was limited to the intra-
murals, was impressive last
month in holding Art Nelson,
Syracuse's former Eastern cham
pion. to a draw. Capri, on the
other hand, lost his bout
After all, you have to 60
along with a kid who did what
ne did against champion" says
Cronin in referring to Hintze.
And I have to put Palumbo in
there somewhere, too. He's a
durable, aggressive, crowd-pleas-
ing type of fighter. Palumbo is
not a particularly hard puncher
but he hits frequently"
Maryland met Penn State once
during the regular season last
year and won a 41a-3ka deci-
sion at State College. Pa. giving
the Terps a record of four VIC
tories in five meetings with the
Nittany Lions since the series
began in 1884. The other match
between the schools ended In a
draw.
Penn State also will be try
ing for its first victory of the
season after losing one previous
match. The Lions were beaten
last Saturday by Michigan State,
5-3, the same team that defeated
the strong Quantico Marines in
January.

Dell, the son of Government
lawyer, has been a Landon bas-
ketball standout since the sixth
grade. He can hit the basket
from outside or close and he is
outstanding on defense.
Barton. a Washington native
who graduated from Tech and
attended college at North Caro-
lima State. Maryland and Kings
Point. has a distinct advantage
at Landon in that he can bring
some of his players along for
several years. Dell and the other
sophomores are a case in point.
Barton has coached them every
year since they were in the sixth
grade.
1.-THE boys start to play basket
ball here in the fifth grade, "
Barton says. That's just an in
troductory course. In the sixth
grade they start playing games.
Every team has a coach and
every team from the sixth grade
on has a schedule.
Barton is pointing his varsity
team for a game with Baltimore
Friends February 16 at Landon.
He feels his team will take the
Interstate Academic title if it can
get by that one against one of
the top teams in Baltimore.
The rest of the Landon squad
is made up of Sophomore John
Sullivan and Juniors Dickie
Dortzback. Kurt Habel, Murray
Simpson, Steve Robin and Mar
Gus Pugh.
They're almost all young"
Barton says. Not only that, we
have a nice Junior varsity team

Not only that, but Barton. who
is also the schools athletic direc-
tor. started last season with an
other group of sixth-graders.
They are seventh-graders now
and he'll coach them all the way
up.
That's the type of progressive
education that won't meet much
opposition.

Holy Cross Extends
Anderson Contract,
Hopes for League
BY the Associated Press

WORCESTER, Mass, Feb. 4.
While conceding that the
Eastern intercollegiate football
outlook is mot bright" Holy
Cross has given DR.. Eddie An
derson, its head coach, a new
five-year contract to replace the
one that would expire after the
1854 season
The Very Rev. John A.
OBrien, S. j.. president of Holy
Cross, said: I'VE are pleased
and proud we are assured Of
DR.. Anderson's services for at
least five more years. In my
opinion, he is second to none
among football coaches"
Father O'Brien emphasized
that Holy Cross has no intention
OF dropping intercollegiate foot
ball. 1T has too many impor-
tant values for all colleges, large
and small. and especially for a
predominantlv resident college
such. as ours" he explained.
Outlook Not Bright.
Unfortunately, the outlook
for intercollegiate football, espe-
cially for the So-called indie
pendent and non-conference
teams in the East, such as Holy
Cross, is not bright.
And it doesn't make sense
to plan indefinitely on fielding
a representative football team
trained by such a high-grade
coach if it seems certain you
cannot schedule suitable OPP
ponents In your area" Father
O'Brien concluded.
Anderson coached at Holy
Cross from 1888 to 1888 before
taking over at the University of
Iowa. He returned here in 1850.
Il have been very happy at
Holy Cross and I will continue
to try to get the best out of what
we have without going out of line
with school practice" Anderson
said.
| Nine-Team League Studied.
Athletic Director Eugene F..
Flynn said Holy Cross has been
approached by Syracuse to join
a nine-team conference that also
! would include Boston College.
Boston University. Colgate. Rut-
/ gers. Penn State, Pittsburgh and
Fordham.
I'VE are certainly inclined to
join such a group" Flynn said.
Similarly favorable reactions
were indicated by Athletic Direc-
tors John P. Curley of Boston
College and Buff Donelli of Bos-
ton University. But Rutgers
Harry J. Rockefeller said his
university has not been ap-
preached officially or unofficially
regarding the proposed confer
ence and can make no direct
comment"
Rockefeller added: There
have been many such confer
ences suggested over the years
and especially in the past few
years. None of these has been
conSummated for various rea-
sons. Even if we were officially
approached, any proposal would
require considerable study before
any action could be taken"

Prefers Action to Words.

city championships u95O-1-2).
Those teams were very small,

they were fast and smart. They
were a product Of what Brennan
calls demonstration by action
rather than words"
That is one advantage of
youth in coaching. Both Bren-
nan. former star halfback for
the Irish, and his Mount Carmel
assistant, Ed Mieszkowski, a
Notre Dame tackle u943-46),
were able to step in and show
the Carmel kids how to do it and
do it right.
AS for the difference in ham
ding players in their teens and
those in their early 20s. Brennan
says he accepted the Notre
Dame assignment because he
has a good understanding of
athletes and their problems"
IT don't know everything there
is to know about kids" he said
solemnly, but I will strive to
improve my understanding at
Notre Dame. whether the boy is
an All-American or a third
Stringer.
"Once you get to know your
kids" Brennan continued, I'm
of the firm opinion that 80 per
cent of your coaching is done
on the day of the game"
Like Leahy, Brennan is a
stickler for fundamentals and
conditioning. He won't have any
problem in introducing a new
formation, because the squad
he inherits is well grounded in
the mixture of T and split-T he
