SPORTS. Thrills Due as Kysczewski of Cards Collides in Ring With Miami’s Cameron: L4 Southern Sfar Holds Decision Over U. §. College Champ C. U. Heavy in Fine Trim; Hoyas Plan Northern Jaunt in Baseball Sneeze Kysczewski's bout with Capt. Red Cameron on the Catholic University-Miami card Saturday night at Brookland, is shaping up as the best heavyweight joust college ring fans will see here this winter and on the outcome hinge the husky Cardinals’ hopes of going to the national tournament in the spring— if the tournament comes off. Cameron shaded big Sneeze last year in Florida. He owns an author- itative punch and is a cagey stra- tegist under fire—a combination that proved too much for Kysczew- ski who had a punch and was willing to meet his weight in heavyweights or wildcats, but woefully was short on ring géneralship. Cameron seems to be better this year, but so does Kysczewski and the consensus in Brookland is that Sneeze will take Red. But the Miami mauler will be the favorite because his latest victim happened to be Lou Campbell, na- tional intercollegiate champion and the gent who laid out Kysczewski in lavender at C. U. last February. Cameron went to the semifinals of last year's tournament, but didn’t meet Campbell and when they did get together he gave the Southwest- ern Louisiana scrapper a thorough going over. Sneeze Blows Opportunity. Kysczewski lost to Campbell after twice putting him on deck with sledge-hammer rights that had knockout written all over them. He seemed to be a sure winner until Lou lifted himself off the canvas and fired a roundhouse right that caught Sneeze flush on the button and put an end to the affair. Coach Eddie La Fond of C. U. has been abed with a chest cold this week, and Joe Bunsa has been in charge of the Cardinals, with Davey Bernstein, another former La Fond pupil, helping out. Both agree that Kysczewski is ready for the fight of his life and will be dangerous until the final bell. Sneeze is down to 233 pounds and moving as gin- gerly as a show horse. Mentally and physically he’s in the pink. But, as Bunsa pointed out today, the big fellow may not be as sharp as he could and should be because of a lack of sparring sessions. Mid- year examinations have tied up most of the Cards, so that the squad does its training piecemeal, and Bernie Cody, another heavyweight, has not been available for sparring. Sneeze needs a lot of work, and Bunsa is threatening to put on the padded pillows in an effort to get ready if no other competitors show today, and he gyarantees that if Kysczew- ski does have a few rounds of tar- get practice Mr. Cameron is go- ing to be one surprised young man come Saturday night. Meade Visits Alma Mater. Jim Meade, former Maryland and Redskin fullback, was a visitor at College Park yesterday but em- phatically denied he was seeking | a coaching berth. Jim had a few days before reporting at Fort Ben- ning, Ga., where he will begin the three-month training course for a second lieutenant’s commission. Georgetown, faced with a cancel- lation of baseball games by Northern teams which are not coming South this spring, may arrange a post- season trip the week following graduation to meet them. The Hoyas always went North for their final games in by-gone years. Coach Burt Shipley of Maryland agrees that Matt Zunic can play on anybody’s basket ball team and Bill Reinhart, Matt's tutor at G. W, says it is only a matter of time before Maryland’s Ernie Travis will be one of the best on the boards. A roll of salami, with Charley Schmidli whacking it up into sand- wiches for his buddies, had the en- tire Georgetown team up all night on the return trip from West Point. Blanks Out for Meet. ‘Entry blanks for the ninth annual Catholic University games are in the mail but Director Dorsey Griffith expects only few replies before the week of the meet, scheduled March 9. Lt. Pete Pfeiffer, former Terp back into the Army. He served a year after graduating in 1937. —_— | Bobby Gilham’s return to his old | scouring form has elevated George ‘Washington to the role of co-favor- ite with Duke for the Southern Con- ference court crown. The tip-off on Gilham’s all-around ability is that when he couldn't buy a basket all last winter and at the start of the current campaign Bill Reinhart re- fused to bench him, pointing out that he still was one of the most valuable defensive players and “feeders” on the squad. And so it comes to this note: El- mer Ripley, Georgetown court coach, remembers when George Marshall would remit fines levied against the old Palace Pro courtmen to the guilty player’s wife with instructions to buy herself a new hat.—L.

Winter Fishing Enjo Anglers Neglect Potomac Perch Runs Most of us find the low temperatures at this season ample ex- ! cuse for not faring far afield. Yet & isn’t hard to believe that if we dug in as hard now as during most likely waters, we might find some pretty good fishing. And after all it matters little whether you catsh fish or not; |it’s enjoyable just to get out an midwinter foray does likewise it should not be condemned. | ‘There are a few who roam the | upper Potomac and Patuxent Rivers throughout the winter, and their catches often are surprising. One chap in particular, Harold Singer, we have known to be out in real mitten weather on the latter river | above Hills Bridge, and a yellow | even an occasional bass, makes the day worthwhile. Other days on which he failed to get so much as a nibble, probably are equally memorable through finding a glis- tening otter at play, or a fat musk- rat at the edge of the marsh grass. A Warm Weather Angler. Do we follow this fishing? No sir! We can't take it. We're just sissy enough to prefer the sun- drenched beachés rimming the edge of the Bay of Florida. Plugging is good fun whether the fish hite or not, but when it is pursued where every cast is a strike it is little wonder we dream of the Keys and the Marquesas—and of ways and means to get back there. Added js the uncertainty of your quarry. It might be only a small snapper, a bright blue grunt or a snook. Then again it might be the swift rush of a barracuda or the leisurely rise of a tarpon. Only True Atoll in States. The Marquesas are halfway be- tween Key West and the Tortugas— easily reached but seldom fished. It could be the virginity of these waters. or the formation that might account for the fine fishing— it is the only true, atoll in the States.

There is as much enjoyment to be had up the Potomac and on the Chesapeake when the sun becomes |warm as it is down there now. We're going to wait for it. The old- timers, however, within a few weeks will be refurbishing their tackle and winding on new lines—first, for | the big catties that feed right through an open winter and then for the first run of white perch. ‘The spawning run to fresh wa- striped hass never has ceased to excite our imagination. They are at home equally in their native salty waters or when landlocked in fresh. The bass, or any other ma- rine specimen with the exception of the tarpon, would die soon under such a reversal of their needs, but not the white perch. They will flourish until other species are crowded out. White Perch Slighted. Fishermen in this area never have made the most of the perch runs up to the Little Falls, but were they to try lighter ‘tackle we believe they would find considerable fun.

John's Defeats Gonzaga Thrilling Game {‘eaves‘ All Three Quints With Win and Loss Each ‘The question of who is best in the Catholic High School Basket Ball League is a tough one right now as the three teams involved rest at the halfway point with everything tied up. Gonzaga beat Georgetown Prep, Prep topped St. John's, so the Johnnies last night showed it all was a mistake by putting down Gonzaga, 31-26, before 2,000 fans at Tech gym. The game was & thriller from start to finish. ‘The Jehnnies went in front to start the second period and stayed there, but never .earned a safe margin. Gonzaga ended the first period with a 7-6 lead, but Paddy McCarthy of St. John's made a pair of baskets at the beginning of the second period to give his quint the edge it never surrendered. That second period was a rich one for St. John's, with George Hughes, Jack Ccoke and Billy Brogan also getting timely goals to take a 19-13 lead at intermission, biggest margin the Johnnies had all evening. The already Ast game hit a high cresendo after that as Gonzaga whittled St. John's lead. One floor shot and four successful foul tosses by the Eagles’ Ray Fanning helped them pull up to 24-27 striding into the final 8 minutes, and to start the final frame, Al Lauck tallied his third bucket of the evening to put Gonzaga only one point behind. That was all for the Eagles, however, | as St. John's threw up a tight de- | fensive screen for the remaining | time, and Billy Brogan and Chuck | Dudley potted a basket each to give | the Johnnies their final margin.
