Terps Defeat Dickinson Quint, 57-27; Tie Coast Guard Boxers, 4-4
- -9*-——-—___
VISITORS CAPTURE
Maryland Never Is Extended
In Court Contest—3,000
Witness Progranj.'
V • Stiff Corrupondent of The Stir.
By BURTON HAWKINS,
COLLEGE PARK. Md.. Feb. 19.—
Training its heavy ammunition on
Maryland's boxing team after an early
blast nearly capped its hopes. Coast
Guard Academy mittmen courageously
came back to earn a 4-* draw with the
Old Line larrupers in the feature of
a double-header attraction tonight at
Ritchie Coliseum before 3,000 spec
tators.
Maryland’s basket ball team swung
the twin bill to the Terps, easily shel
lacking Dickinson toesers. 57-27, in
the card's opener.
It was sturdy Bob McClelland, Coast
Guard' heavyweight, who climaxed the
uphill struggle of the New London,
Conn., cullers by outclassing Joe Hen
derson and thus snatching a stalemate.
McClelland nicked Henderson freely
with a right to the head, but the Terp
mysteriously remained on his feet to
hear the decision go against him.
Dorr Has Close Call.
By the grace of a rather dubious
decision. George Dorr, Maryland's
115-pound clouter, placed Maryland
in front by trouncing Willie Morri
son, former Eastern High track ath
lete. Morrison’s, crisp right-hand
hlows were equally as effective as
Dorr's southpaw socks, and the clean
cut Coast Guard lad seemed to rate
no less than a draw. Neither was
damaged.
Floored for a count of eight in the
second round by two steamy lefts to
the chin. Bob Bradley, Maryland
featherweight, arose from the canvas
only to walk into a paralyzing solar
plexus kayo wallop authored by Bob
Goering in the third session.
’ Bradley, in the third, was holding
his own with the curly haired south
paw, but Goering caught him coming
off the ropes with a sizzling left to the
•tomarh, and Bradley went down after
one minute and 18 seconds.
Aiperstein Score! T. K. O.
Bob Prause, Coast Guard light
weight. elected to exchange blows
with Benny Aiperstein, national in
tercollegiate lightweight champion,
and learned the folly of his way after
one minute and seven seconds of the
second round, when Referee Charley
Short rightfully stopped the scrap.
Benny's lefts landed frequently and
the bout soon lost any semblance of a
match.
Employing a left hook to the head
and body as his most telling weapon,
Nathan Askin, Maryland 145-pounder,
carved out a decision over Ed Fow
ler to boost the Terps' margin to 3-1
in a bloodless but hectic quarrel.
In an amazing decision. Referee
Short adjudged Ralph West, Coast
Guard 155-pounder, the winner over
Maryland's Dick Johnson, and a more
weird verdict could not be imagined.
Johnson poured a continuous stream
of leather to West's face to ap
parently win all three rounds, and the
crowd was stunned when the usually
reliable Short waved West the win
ner.
Cox Wing on Points.
Blond Dick Cox, Maryland 165
pounder, outpointed curly-haired Har
ry Frazer. Cox dropped Frazer for a
count of nine in the third round with
a stiff left to the jaw, but the bout
was close despite the knockdown.
Bob Lodge, a neophyte to ring war
fare, who substituted for the injured
Blackie Pearson, twice staggered Coast
Guard Academy's Jim Weaver in the
light-heavyweight engagement, but the
latter generally carried too much
equipment for the courageous Terp.
Lodges two persuasive rights to the
ehin in the second round failed to
offset Weaver’s edge in the first and
third rounds.

Terp Quint Never Headed.
Maryland grasped an early lead in
the basket ball game, and after the
opening moments the tilt developed
into mere target practice for the
Terps. with the bewildered Dickinson
dribblers completely outclassed by the
smooth Old Line offense.
Waverly Wheeler and Eddie (Choo
Choo) Johnson established an early
margin which Maryland maintained
throughout the first half.
Dickinson kept within shouting dis
tance throughout the first half through
the effort* of Sammy Padjun and
Kinsey Weimar, but never actually
proved a threat, trailing, 23-13, at half
time.
The second half was a complete rout,
with Johnson pitching baskets from
every angle to fatten his scoring total
by 14 polnta. Wheeler found the range
tor 11 points, while Coleman Headley
and George Knepley contributed fancy
ahots that served to keep the spec
tator! Interested.
Weimar, a chunky blond, and Pad
Jun, black-haired guard, paced Dick
Inson'a offence with 10 and. 0 points,
respectively.

RING TITLE SNAKY
IN MARYLAND GRIP
Chance to Reign Again in
Conference Lessened by
Loss of Pearson.
Maryland’s chance of successfully
defending its Southern Conference
boxing championship Friday and Sat
urday at Ritchie Coliseum have tjeen
dimmed considerably through the loss
of Ralph (Blackie) Pearson, who fig
ured to go at least to the finals and
very likely, grab the light heavyweight
title, the tourney's weakest division.
South Carolina, Clemson and Citadel
are rated even choices to capture
the crown, with all entering full
teams. Matches among this trio of
powerful squads have shown them to
be about on a par, with Maryland and
Duke classed as outside possibilities.
Maryland Ranks on Dorr.
The Terps will rely chiefly on
George Dorr, bantamweight, and
Benny Alperstein, national intercol
legiate lightweight champion. Benny
several times this year has fought
as a 145-pounder, but will trim down
to 125 for the tourney and will be
favored to snatch the featherweight
crown.
Since generally it is conceded three
individual titlists or two winners and
two runners-up will be enough to
grasp the championship. Maryland
also will look to Nathan Askin to
travel places in the lightweight divi
sion, and hope one of its other glove
wielders at least reaches the semi
finals. Points are won only by plac
ing men in final bouts.
Clemson will depend on Ripper
Murray, featherweight; Russell Dorn,
155-pound defending champion, and
Bill Cason, undefeated at 165 pounds,
while Citadel has Johnny Hughes,
115; Pete Lempesis, runner-up in the
155-pound class last year, and Hugh
Rogers, heavyweight, as its aces.
Champion Moves lip.
South Carolina's Frank Jenkins,
115-pound champion last year, has
moved up to the 125-pound class and
figures to be dangerous, as does the
Gamecocls' Rex Williams, 165-pound
runner-up in 1937.
Duke virtually is assured of a title
with Danny Farrar in the 145-pound
class, and has other contenders in
Bobby Price, 115, and Swede Vincent,
165, while North Carolina State and
Virginia Tech will send 145-pound
threats in Russell Sorrell and Ouy
Sheppard, respectively.
North Carolina's hopes are Joe
Mumick, 125; Joe Fisher, 135, and
Crowell Little, 155.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va.. Feb. 19
—The University of Virginia boxing
team paraded its strength tonight to
pound out a 6-to-2 victory over Penn
State before an overflow crowd of
nearly 6,000.

Harlow came through with colors

Sammy Donato, hitherto undefeated
in college dual meet competition.

Bring Ring Draw
Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLLEGE PARK, Md , Feb. 19.
—Because Coach Hetnle Miller
elected to make a return gesture
of sportsmanship to the Coast
Guard Academy boxing team,
Maryland was held to a draw last
night when it could have won
without question.
Miller disclosed to Coach Mickey
McClemon of the Guards his plans
to forfeit the light-heavyweight
engagement because his regular
lighter in that division, Blackie
Pearson, had received a broken
nose In a sparring session last week.
McClemon, however, refused to
accept the forfeit and requested the
match be fought on a seven-bout
basis. Miller in turn rejected this
advantage and inserted the inex
perienced Bob Lpdge in the 178
pound berth. Lodge, as expected,
lost.
Had Miller accepted McClemon’s
offer Maryland would have won the
Beet 4-8.

OPEN EVES. AND BONDATB
Pin PROVES EASY
Visitors’ Roughness Gives
Some Life to Contest
That Ends 34-22.
By BURTON HAWKINS.
In a rather farclal fray that
found both cluba unleashing great
gobs of Ineffectiveness, Georgetown
spanked Pittsburgh, 34-32, In an East
ern Intercollegiate Conference basket
ball game yesterday at Tech High gym
before 750 suffering spectators.
Georgetown nudged Into third place
In conference standings, but the vic
tory hardly will be registered In
Hoya annals as one of Its moat notable
achievements, for the clawless Pan
thers were easy prey.
Pittsburgh contributed heavily to
Its own downfall from the outset, with
Coach Carlson inserting an alleged
second team that captured possession
of the ball snd for a full three min
ute* merely passed It among them
selves just Inside the midcourt line.
Early Lead Sufficient
The growling among spectators
finally became ao emphatic that Porkey
Hartman attempted a aide shot, but
later events proved Pittsburgh's orig
inal strategy would have held the
score to more respectable bounds.
Not until 12]2 minutes of the first
half had elapsed did the Panthers
score on a set shot by Ed La wry,
and by that time the Hoyas had com
piled a lead they never relinquished.
On the strength of three field goals
by Tommy Nolan and two by rangy
Joe Murphy, Georgetown spurted Into
a 10-0 lead. Pittsburgh at this point
decided to sample their shooting skill,
or lack of It, but the Hilltop tossers
nevertheless boosted their margin to
20-8 by half time.
Pittsburgh's first team then took
the floor, but the difference in the
caliber of the clubs hardly was dis
cernible. Georgetown immediately
went to work and boosted the score
to 20-14 before Pitt's Ed Spotovlch
netted two snowbirds and a brace of
fouls.
Panthers Aggressive.
The Panthers’ sole redeeming fea
ture was their roughness, which
served to spark an otherwise drab
affair. Chunky Rags Radvansky. who
resembled a stray bit of battleship,
wedged his sizeable frame itno vir
tually every mix-up, but George
town's Mike Petroskey retaliated nice
ly with less crude but equally effec
tive bullish tactics.
Nolan paced Georgetown's sporadic
scoring with 10 points, whllj the ra"
boned Spotovlch led Pittsburgh in
that department with 8 points.
