WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1953 Foggmen to Meet Maryland Today Lions Try . To Improve 1-3 Mark An all-night rain Monday stepped in and forced cancela tion of the -last practice session yesterday before the Maryland tennis match, chalking up an other strike against Coach Sherm Fogg's luckless aggregation. The Lions will meet - the Terps at 3 p.m. today on the College courts, weather permitting. The Lions, right in the tough est part of the schedule, are in no position to do battle with the ele ments. They will carry into the Terp match an unbecoming 1-3 mark, including a two-match los ing streak. The Terps have a 8-1 slate. Last season rain washed out the Lion-Terp match. In '5l, the Terrapins nipped the Lions, 5-4. With no practice yesterday, Fogg's doubles outfits will prob ably remain the same. They will be Dick Robinson and. Lou Lan don, the only outfit to win against Georgetown, at number one; Bruz Ray and Dez Long, at number two; and team Captain Bill For rey and Bill Ziegler, at number, three. The singles ladder will be Rob inson, number one; Ziegler, num ber two; Ray, number three; Lan don, number four, Forrey, num-, ber five, and Dick Gross, number six.. Maryland's tentative singles lineup will be Mel Huyett, num ber one; John Myers, number two; Dennis Hevener, number three; Bud Leightheiser, number four; Jack Clifford, number five; and Terrell Birch, number six. Fogg shuffled his singles lineup Monday in preparation for the Maryland match. He boosted sophomore Ziegler two slots to Landon's number two spot, drop ping Landon to the number four job. LandPn, number two in the first four matches, has yet to twin in a State tennis uniform. In the other singles change, Fogg named senior Dick Gross to go in. the n,umber six spot in place of Bill Ray. In the National League, Eddie Mathews of Milwaukee, with six, is the home run leader and Brook lyn's Roy Campanella is tops in runs batted in with 22.

Pollard rewrote the stan dards for the 220-yard dash with a clocking of 0:21.0 to wipe out Barney Ewell's mark of 0:21.3, which was set in 1938. The Coatesville Comet also bettered another time when he did the 100-yard dash in 0:09.5; however, the mark will not be entered in the books since he had a wind advantage.

Frosh Win Another Not satisfied with one first, Coyne also copped the mile with a clocking of 4:38.1 with Moorhead and Jim Pastorious following. Doug was not to be denied though, and his time of 10:16 won the two-mile run, with Pastorius sec ond and Coyne third. The frosh tucked away another win when they took the mile re lay with a time of 3:3l.B.:Richard Steigerwalt, 'Austin, Matz and Pollard teamed •up to better the Plebe time of 3:33.3.

Xi, won the, 1953 fraternity intramural badminton crown last night by defeating sophomore Lynn Boyer, Alpha Chi- Sigma, 15-13 and 15-5. In meeting Boyer, Dick competed against one of the toughest men he faced in hi s championship climb. Robinson, serving first; scored four quick points before his op ponent could get started. Boyer worked the score to 8-8, but Rob inson fought , back to take a com fortable 13 to 8 advantage. Boyer made a gallant bid at this point with perfectly placed side and backcourt shots, and brought the score to 13-12. Dick could only score one point but Boyer did like wise, making it 14-13. Robinson started the serve in the tenth. inning, but Boyer's re turn went out too far to his right.' This was the game point—Robin- son winning 15 to 13. The second match of the two out of three game series started out as if it were a replica of the first game. Boyer started out strong but fell back as the score went 6-5. Robinson was unbeat able at this point as his strong forehanded slams were too hard for his smaller opponent to han dle. It took the champ but three innings to finish the match, 15 to 5.

As You Like It "Silence Is Golden" Sam's Song Not many times are we called upon to take a stand about the professional sports. Last week, however, an un pleasant statement came from Pleasantville, N.J., which can't go overlooked. The words involved a boxing athlete whom we thought had one of the finest personalities in the sport today; namely, Jersey Joe Walcott. Walcott branded Rocky Marciano as if he were a cow. It wasn't bad when the ex-heavyweight titlist said: "If I can't beat Marciano, hang up my gloves." (The only trouble is he didn't.) But when in complete anger Walcott called Marciano "the dirtiest fighter I ever met is 24 years of fighting," we couldn't believe our own. eyes. Walcott went on to explain: "I learned he was the roughest and dirtiest fighter I ever fought. I learned he was a terrific -butter and that's why I lost the fight. He butted me and cut my eyebrow open in the fifth round. He hit me harder during the fight than he did with that knockout punch in the 13th round, but the blood was in my eye and I didn't see the punch coming." With television now carrying fights to every nook and carom of the country and with movies providing the exhibition for those without TV, verbal blows such as those mentioned can create more harm than good- Especially, if they are exclaimed by a person as well-liked as Walcott once was. Walcott's personality and manners were compared to those of Joe Louis, the greatest fighter since Jack Dempsey. Today, it wottid not hold true. Yesterday, we found a different picture. Walcott sat silently in his training corner while his manager, Felix Bocchicchio, and Al Weill, Marciano's mentor, exchanged blows. Weill let loose in reply to what he called "the phoney charges. stupid claims, and suggested demands" of Jersey Joe's pilot. Weill said sarcastically that he expected Bocchicchio to ask for the use of 16-ounce sparring gloves for the May 15 title match in Chicago. Six ounce gloves are standard. (Why not use pillows?) This verbal feud between the two boxers and managers appears to be one of the hottest recalled in heavyweight championship train ing camps since the Max Schmeling fiasco. It is well understood that Walcott has been involved in close decisions during his championship battles and had to win his crown by a KO—like a champ should. But in most sports when the threat becomes so thin That it can be broken at either end, the decision is tossed to the champion. In our estimation, when at close range in which a terrific • battle is fought and a title is at stake, one should go down—for a .ten count. In other words, one has to beat a champion and the only way to accomplish this is by a knockout.
