He beat Allison in the crucial 1936 North American zone test and later | took Austin to tie the score at two all in the challenge round. He seems certain to win one singles against any team and possibly two. The problem of whether to use | Bromwich, McGrath or Crawford in the other singles puzzles Australia. I don't think Bromwich will get the call, but between the other two there is much to be said and little to choose.

MIDDIES TO FRONT IN WINTER SPORTS Win 36, Lose 22 Contests, Take Water Polo, Rifle Titles, Nick Army Twice. ANNAPOLIS‘ Md., April 1.—During “ 7 the Winter season just completed, Naval Academy teams in eight Iines of sport engaged in 58 dual matches, winning 36 and losing 22. No team went through the season without defeat, though the water polo, fencing and rifie squads dropped only one match each. High points of the season were the winning of championships in water polo and small-bore rifle and the de- feat of the Military Academy in basket ball and gymnastics. ‘The record: Sport Basket ball__ Wrestling Water polo__ Bwimming __ Rifle PREP STAR.S BIG HELP Totals __ Three St. John's Players in Line- | Up of Winning St. James. TWOMEY'SBOXERS | Big Ball Player in Every Way (|| FGF MITMEN | WIN, BUT HE LOSES Coach Suspended by Ring Board After Guards Get A. A. U. Laurels. ISTORY repeated itself in two instances as the District A. A. U. boxing tournament ended last night at Turner's Arena. As it did last year, the National Guard team again won the team championship, and once again its coach, Matt Twomey, is in bad with the District of Columbia Boxing Com- mission. How much th. commission is frowning upon Twomey this time, however, is realized by the six-month suspension which it has placed upon him. The ban resulted when Twomey re- fused to allow Coach Jim McNamara of the runner-up Jewish Community Center team to inspect the bandages on his (Twomey’s) 118-pound fighter, Eddie Saugstad, before his fight with Ray Morse of the J. 3. C. Saugstad, incidentally, was the indirect cause of Twomey's first flare-up with the com- mission last week, when the coach re- fused to permit his fighter to continue & bout with Jim Koustenas. Retains Disputed Pandage. TWOMEY last night cieimed no de- mand to see .the bandages was made before Saugstad entered the ring. Just before the fight, however, Natie Brown, McNamara's assistant at the J. C. C., claimed that Saugstad’s right hand was injured and that Twomey had used too much tape to protect it. remove his fight: from the tourna- amination, Twomey, at the order of | Commissiorer | then cut the bandages. The one from | the left hand he gave to a commis- sion inspector; the one from t' right —the one in dispute—he gave to a helper to keep from officials. Saugstad then entered the fight without bandages, knocking out Morse near the end of the third round. It was one of the flercest fights of the entire tournament, how- ever, Morse having gone down once before in the final round from a ter- rific right to the chin. After Morse barely beat the count, Saugstad dropped him again for keeps. i Twomey's suspension, effective in | 39 States and the District until Octo- | ber 1, not only will keep him from | being 'in the Guard's corner, but also will prevent him from seconding Lou Gevion, former local featherweight | champion and now a promising pro- | fessional. Seeks Hearing Today. tTHE banned coach was expected to apply for a hearing today, stating he didn't see how he could be sus- pended without such. His National Guard team won four of seven championships last night and the Jewish Community Center, Washington Boys' Club and Alex- andria Boys’ Club each one. More than 2,000 saw the titles decided, three of them by knockouts. Roy Cromble, 135-pounder of the winning team, was voted the out- standing boxer of the tournament by sports writers covering the event. He recetved a trophy donated by Col. Jimmy Lake. He won the cham- plonship of his class by handing Buddy Lazear of the J. C. C. his first | defeat since coming here more than a year ago.

EORGE KOVERLY, alias Gojko Kovacovich, will at- tempt to regain the dubious distinction of his former status as Washington's leading grapple villain tonight when he squirms with the snaggle-toothed Laverne Baxter in the feature match of the weekly twist- ing card at Turner's Arena. Matdom’s leading candidates for a padded cell are expected to draw the largest crowd of the indoor season to the caulifiower patch. Local mat mad- dies love their twisters rough and while both Koverly and Baxter are mediocre wrestlers, at least they fill the bill from a standpoint of show- manship. Baxter Full of Tricks. KOVERLY. for instance, has au- | thored four near-riots here and | was suspended for six months by | Promoter Joe Turner for socking a gins to boil at the heckling of the customers, but his extra-curricula an- tics usually are harmless. Baxter’s flair for showmanship might make a rich man out of the gigantic North Carolinian. He is the inventor of matdom’s one-man sit- down strike and in his more mild mo- ments has fathered such ideas as rip- ping the shirt off referees, tossing the arbiters about freely, choking Ref- eree Al Bakash and Hank Barber simultaneously through the medium of the ropes, threatening to beat Tony Wakeman, WOL sports announcer, and tying together the shoelaces of ‘Wee Willie Davis prior to kicking him about the mat. Barber Meets Pinto. IN THE 30-minute semi-final, Hank Barber, former Dartmouth foot ball star, will tangle with Stanley Pinto, while other preliminaries, the first of which will get under way at 8:30 o'clock, list Jack Hader facing Ed Meske, Bill Sledge meeting George Lenihan and Nick Campofreda toil- ing with Floyd Marshall. A portion of the proceeds will be turned over to the American Legion to purchase base ball uniforms and equipment for 120 junior players who are backed by that organization.
