1erps' Varsity
Meets Alumni
manual Game

Several Of last years brightest
freshman stars were to be among
the players closely watched by
Coach Jim Tatum in today's
fifth annual spring football game
between the Maryland varsity
and alumni at Byrd Stadium at
2::30 pm.
Only Gene Dyson, a guard,
was among the starters, but
Tackle Don Healy, Fullback Dick
Kennedy and John McVicker, a
halfback. figured to see consid-
cradle action. Ralph Hawkins
and Bob Rusevlyn. former st.
Johns High School star who
were held out last year but are
sophomores in a football sense,
also will see much action.
The Terp varsity, which has
i've more practice sessions left
after today, did not figure to
be much trouble for the alumni
team, which has more pros than
ever before. All four of the
starting alumni backs had good
pro seasons last year. Bernie
Faloney in Canada and Chef
Hanulak with the Browns, Ralph
FELTON,, the Redskins, and Dick
Nolan. the New York Giants.
The alumni had the advantage
OF unlimited substitutions and
topped by CO. Coach Ray Krouse,
at 270. had a considerable weight
advantage.
The varsity won the first two
games Of the series, but as the
Terps kept turning out more
star players who turned pro, the
opposition increased, and the
alumni won the last two years.
The new substitution rule,
which provides that a player who
starts a quarter can re-enter
once during the same quarter,
was to be used, as was the new
fifth official, a backfield Judge.

SAXTON FINISHED IN 18th
DeMorco's Left Hooks
Win Him WeIter Title
attack which outdid his heralded

attack which outdid his heralded
inside hitting.
Through the first 10 rounds,
Referee Manning scored the
fight 127 points to 122 for De-
Marco on the basis Of 10 points
for the winner of each round
and 10 or less for his opponent
Judge Jim Shaughnessy scored
it for DeMarco 1913 to 121, while
Judge Tom McNeeley gave the
edge to Saxton 125-123.
The seventh round--slowest of
the fight-proved the turning
point. Both men realized as the
round began that it was going to
be a long night and they needed
to pace themselves. DeMarco
matched Saxton at close quar-
tiers and showed he could fight it
Saxton's way, too.
Tony Lad Saxton in trouble in
the eighth with some smarting
body shots and doggedIy refused
to let UP, though Saxton shot
back. In the ninth, DeMarch
rocked Saxton with rights and
lefts to the head on the ropes
falling down at one point when
he missed q vicious cut as he
tried to follow UP his advantage.
Damage Done on Ropes
In the 18th round. DeMarco
got Saxton on the ropes again
and gave him a series of left
hooks to the chin. firing at his
all-out effort, DeMarco missed
as he tried to finish it. Appar-
emily figuring he could crowd his
way to victory, Tony hit. clinch-
ed and pounded Saxton's body in
the 18th.
Now it was Saxton who had to
open up If he wanted victory.
He came out swinging in the
14th-almost overanxious - and
1t was his reckless switch from
previous caution that made him
easy prey for the final barrage.
Tony's left hooks and rights to
Saxton's chin hammered him q
dozen times before he fell part
way through the ropes. He got
up. but could do nothing.
In the dressing room after
ward. DeMarco admitted he felt
he had q chance to knock out
Saxton in the 18th round.
When ! couldn't do 1t, I fig
ured that it would 60 the full
Is. During the 18th, I felt I'd
win 1t by a decision.
The cut over DeMarco's eye is
the obstacle that stands between
Tony and a definite commitment
for his first defense. Saxton's
manager. Frank Palermo, said
he would waive the 90-day re-
turn bout clause in the contract
so DeMarco could meet Carmen
Basilio, No. ranked challenger.

BOSTON. April 2 (R.-Tony
DeMarco reigns as the new well
terweight champion today after
turning determination, skill and
Q devastating punch into a 14th-
round technical knockout over
Johnny Saxton.
DeMarco, 23-year-old battler
from Boston's North End,
knocked Saxton down for a nine
count and hammered the help
less New Yorker 10 times more
against the ropes before Referee
Mel Manning stopped it at 2::20
of the 18th round last night at
Boston Garden.
A happy Tony was a bit be-
wildered in the dressing room
afterward, but not so much as
the betting fraternity which had
made him a 3-to-1 shortender.
First Title Defense
The scheduled 15-r o u n der
which was not televised or broad
cast was the first title defense
for Saxton who won 1t from Kid
Gavilan last october in Phila-
delphia. It was the first time
Saxton had been stopped in his
professional career
II knew I had him on queer
street when he went down in the
18th round" beamed Tony, whose
real name is Leo Lolita. when
he fell back through the ropes.
I said to myself, this is it."
Saxton had no alibis.
II saw all those punches COM
ing. but I Just couldn't get out
Of the way" Johnny said. Hes
q real strong boy. I thought the
fight was going along very
nicely until I ran into that left
hook"
The left hook proved De-
Marcos biggest weapon when
he moved in to polish of the
champion, but Tony, who
weighed in at las pounds,
showed lot more than that in
gaining the victory.
.DeMarco was cut over the left
eye in the second round when
Saxton, weighing 145h, con-
nected with q right cross. His
deft seconds did such q good job
on it-and Tony, protected it so
well-that Saxton couldn't open
1t again.
Tony Revamps Defense
Obviously the harder hitter Of
the two. Tony was an easy mark
in the first six rounds though
never in trouble. Suddenly, he
revamped his defenses and Sax
ton found his own effective left,
hook and stabbing rights were
being blocked.
Forced to carry the fight by
the Contemplating Saxton,
DeMarco did so successfully and
weakened Johnny with a body

It Is somewhat tragic. I think.
that Mr.. Whitman and many
of the lay public have taken
the attitude that they have con-
corning the contemporary views
of psychiatrists and psycholo-
gists on "parenthood."
Mr.. Whitman has claimed
that present day psychiatrists
and psychologists suggest a
disciplined free, over-protective,
neutrality-suspicious. life for our
children. Nowhere In PSYCHE
atric or psychological literature
have I seen such statements.
Not one of the many psycholo-
|gists and psychiatrists whom ]
know have suggested anything
of the sort. Mr.. Whitman was
careful enough to cite some re-
liable sources for some Of his
other claims, but from whence
does this bit of news come?
Rather, I believe that the
same thing is happening now
that has happened in the past.
The public and Mr.. Whitman
are reacting negatively to what
they feel is an attack on them,
OF course, all parents like to
think that they are good parents
They don't like to feel that they
have harmed their children In
any way, and quite often refuse
to recognize the fact when con-
Ifronted with it.
Psychiatrists and psychologists
are not trying to throw all OF
the blame on the parents and
society. They are trying to
Collectively ascertain the causes
| for the existing difficulties in
raising our youths and those
which make an adolescent be-
come juvenile delinquent. Their
present day theories are the re-
suit Of exhaustive research,
scientific research. These are
not ideas drawn out Of the blue
Many of these theories" are
now in reality facts.
Although the fields of psychia-
try and psychology are relatively
new fields they still have a LOT
to offer scientifically to the
world. Let's not be Juvenile and

I am one of these teachers
rather, ! was one Of them!
In September 1912, after hav-
ing graduated from college. I
enthusiastically embarked upon
a hoped-for teaching career at
a small consolidated school in q
rural area near my home in
Maine. One of three teachers In
the high school division Of the
institution, I taught Latin.
French, algebra, plane geometry
and pre-flight aeronautics. Un-
fortunately I held that position
only five weeks, having to re-
sign in order to report for in
duction into the armed services.
Those five weeks are among the
happiest days i have expert
enced.
In September 1916, after be-
ing released from the Army. I
set out upon a course Of under
graduate and graduate study In
the field of music and was
awarded my master of arts de-
gree in 1850. In the spring Of
1851 I accepted a position as a
music instructor in a Washing
ton ID. c. suburban high
school for what I had hoped
would be a permanent resump-
ton Of a teaching career.
Little did I realize what I was
getting myself into! When the
end OF the nine-week term ar
rived in June I was beside my
self with joy-those nine weeks
had been miserable, q period of
my life which ! would not wish
to relive.
The cause? A group Of q
dozen or so sophomores, undis-
ciplined. irresponsible, and ILL
hammered youngsters, both boys
and girls, who undoubtedly were
not disciplined at home nor
taught responsibility or man
ners there. The result? For me,
a new career as a Federal Gov
eminent employee; for the class
in which most Of them were con-
centrated, hardly anything &C.
complished!
It may be that another teacher
might have been able to manage
these particular youngsters;
may not have possessed the re-
quired something to establish
order among these difficult stu
dents. ! shall always wonder il
another teacher might have sue.
