Defending team champion
Maryland butts heads with Cath
Ollie University in three bouts
tonight. while Army and SYRIA
cuse clash twice in the opening
round of the 32d annual Eastern
intercollegiate boxing champion
ships. beginning at 8 o'clock in
Richie Coliseum.
Army and Syracuse, the only
teams among the six competing
schools with full eight-man line
ups, also will be brought together
at least twice tomorrow after
noon in the semifinals. accord
ing to pairings drawn last night
at College Park.
While this arrangement would
appear to give Maryland the
easier road to pile up points
against inexperienced Catholic
u. as Army and Syracuse ruin
each others chances. Coach
Frank Cronin of the Terps said
that the drawings had hurt
Maryland's chances to repeat as
team champion.
Syracuse Worries Cronin
Cronin considers Syracuse the
strong favorite for the team
championship even though his
own team split in two matches
with the Orange and Army licked
Syracuse, 51a-21a. in dual meets
this season.
II was hoping we would meet
Syracuse right away" Cronin
said. 1.-THE only way to beat
Syracuse is knock them out early
and we can't do that If we don't
fight them"
The Terps' Winnie Palumbo,
NCAA champion at 1872 pounds,
takes on Mike Fahey in the first
round. Gary Fisher and Doug
Borchard of Catholic U. meet at
lat and Light-Heavyweights Leo
Coyne and AL Greene clash later
on the card. Also, Bob Scali of
Maryland and Mo Greenberg of
Gu already have been paired for
o 165-pound semifinal tomorrow,
IL Bouts Set Tonight
The University of Virginia
withdrew its middleweight. Dave
King. and inserted Heavyweight
Preston Quesenberry in the 1861
pound spot during the drawings
last night, leaving the tourna-
ment with 81 fighters from the
six schools.
The pairings resulted in II
bouts scheduled tonight, includ-
ing semifinals in the 125-pound.
l56-pound and heavyweight di-
visions, and 10 seminal bouts
tomorrow afternoon.
The Semifinals tomorrow will
begin at 2 pm. and the eight
finals will get under way at 8.
Georgetown's three-man team,
the smallest in the tournament,
engages in two bouts tonight,
both tough. Ed Ryan runs into
Virginia's Billy Young in a l39-
pound go and Heavyweight Tom
Quinn faces Nick Georgiade of
Syracuse, perhaps the hottest
individual favorite in the cham
pionships.
Georgiade, unbeaten in five
fights, and Quinn square of in
the last bout on tonights card.
The Syracusan has a wide mar
gin in experience but the fight
may be corker if Quinn can
get his left hooks working early.
Points going toward the team
championship will be awarded
thus: / point for each entry, /
for each preliminary win, 3 for
each runnerup and S for
champion.
