Meanwell tutored Bzdgers. Maryland will not present a weak team by an means, but, on the other hand, the Wisconsin quintet is said to be a good deal better than the combination that downed the Old Liners, 32 to 30, in an overtime tilt at Madison a year ago. However, Maryland was at a dis- advantage then in that more bodily contact is permitted in the Midwest than in this section.

LOUIS, December 22 (#)—Evelyn Norris and “Bobby” Brewer, 8t. Louis girl boxers, fought to a draw here in a match that was the first feminine pugilistic contest ever sanctioned by the Missouri Athletic Commission for a major arena.

EW YORK, December 22— Poot ball is the most surpris- N ing of all sports, the Nation's experts have voted, and it was Pittsburgh’s 13-0 victory over Notre Dame that startled them more than anything else. Of the 142 members of the sports writing profession who voted on the “surprise of the year” in the second annual Associated Press poll, 43 picked Pitt’s unexpected triumph over the then apparently unbeatable Ramblers. In all foot ball drew 66 votes with Notre Dame'’s 21-0 victory over Army getting 15 of them for third place on the list. Six other gridiron surprises also figured in the balloting. ‘The numerous upsets of the track and fleld campaigning of the Olympic year and other unexpected develop- ments of the international games drew 35 votes, while the many startling hap- penings of the 1932 base ball season were mentioned 18 times. Other votes were rather scattering, although golf as a general subject cropped up fre- quently. sm,n to the Pitt triumph came Bill Carr with his three victories over “Blazin’ Ben” Eastman on the track. Although he took the egige off the surprise of his 440-yard victory in the intercollegiates by repeating = the feat, Carr got 20 votes out of the 142.
