Success of Terps' Boxing Team
zM0yRest onRhodes' Comeback
By Dick Sloy

On the trim, square shoulders
of a 21-year-old Texan named
Ronald Rhodes could rest the
success of the University of
Maryland boxing team in the
next three months.
That's quite a load for only one
of eight team members to carry.
but, paradoxically, Coach Frank
Cronin figures the pressure on
Rhodes is not as great as it was
this time a year ago.
Rhodes had won the Southern
Intercollegiate championship as
a sophomore the year before and
last season he was trying too
hard to live up to his press clip
pings. He was working out at a
gym in Washington. taking ad-
vice. a lot of it conflicting, from
some of the professionals and he
was trying to assume the appear
ance of a polished fighter by
counter-punching his college op-
ponentS. The result was a dismal
record of only three victories in
nine bouts.
Has Problems Solved.
Rhodes thinks he has his prob
lens solved now. He gained more
than 10 pounds between seasons
and has taken over the light
heavyweight spot and he has lost
most of his love for counter
punching.
Il wasn't getting my punches
of. I was waiting too long last
year" he explained during a re-
cent workout. Counter punching
can be used against fellow who
throws combinations or just one
or two shots and moves away.
You can't counter-punch these
college kids. They'll swarm all
over you.
I'm more aggressive now and
I'm keeping my hands up better.
The guys in the light heavy class
are lot slower than those 165-
Founders. while I don't think I've
slowed down proportionately and
I'm hitting harder. I'm looking
forward to this season"
Rhodes wasn't the only reason.
but the Maryland team also won
only three of its matches last
year, while tying three others. If
Rhodes had performed up to his
ability on a couple of those
nights the Terps could have had
a winning season. That formula
can work this season, too.
One of Three Seniors.
Ronnie is one of three seniors,
all co-captainS, returning to
what looks like another tough
squad. The other first-classmen
are Bob Theofield, aggressive
147-pounder. and Bill McInnis,
who switched classes with
Rhodes when the latter vacated
the 16o-pOund spot.
Gary CARRIER, runnerup for the
bantamweight championship in
the national tournament last
March. completes the list of re-
turning regulars. Guido Capri,
who had two appearances last
season, will hold down the 1872
pound berth.
~ Tentatively picked by Cronin
gto fill the remaining weight divi-
sion are Eric Hintze, sophomore
s1S9-pounder; Royd Smith, for
smer wrestler, at 156 and Leo
Coyne at heavyweight.

Inquiries are beginning to

about the early runs of yellow
perch. Nothing has started up

feel it is several weeks too early.
However, both pike and perch
are being taken daily in the
South River, although in limited
numbers, and yellow perch are
going strong at Pig Point in the

you'll find the white perch taking
