Boxing jf WTFTER a respite of fifteen years, t+4 Georgetown University ' s boxing I Ml team once again came into the foreground of collegiate sport. The manly art of self-defense was preserved in proud manner by Coach Marty Gallagher ' s men throughout the winter season. The campaign opened auspiciously against the Bucknell Uni ersity fighters. Ray Larrow was outstanding in his technical knockout of Gal Seaman in the heavyweight division. The next match showed improvement. Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy was the victor by 5 -2 margin. Scoring for the Hoyas were Gal Reeder, George Detorie, who won by a unanimous decision, and Ray Lar- row, who won by a knockout in round one. Pointing toward the Gatholic University match on February 8, the Hilltoppers trained diligently. Due to a high degree of publicity the contest attracted a capacity crowd to the Brookland gymnasium for the local appear- ance of C Georgetown ' s leather pushers. The team went into the ring un lerdogs, and bat- tered their wav to a 4-4 draw before the j.ART ' i ' g.all. ghi:r 151

THIS fall saw Coach Elmer Hardcll and his 1047 edition of Georgetown Uni -ersit ' s track team get off to a slow start h competing with local cross country teams and ending up with a record of two wins, two losses and one tie. But as time wore on, the team picked up momentum. The winter indoor season proxed highly suc- cessful and the prospects for an interesting spring record was inevitable. The mile relay team, consisting of Bill Drugan, Mort Kane, Jim Mewshaw and Ed Sause, finished first in the New ' ork Knights of Columbus meet on March 8th, second in the Millrose games, and third in the K of C meet in Boston and the N.Y.A.C. meet. An interesting highlight concerning the relay team is that Bill Dzugan and Ed Sause running the one and four positions were also a winning combination when they helped Bayonne High School of New Jersey capture the Penn Relay Championship in 1943. SALISE ON THE TRACK HAP HARDELL According to Hap Hardell, Sause is the best prospect that he has seen since the days of Georgetown ' s Hugh Short. Although Ed ' s specialty is the quarter-mile run, he took top honors in the 300-yard run of the K of C in Boston. Dave Smith also deserves individual recognition. He placed first in the 1000-yard event at the K of C at New York. Both of these men were inxited to almost all the im- portant indoor meets this year. That Georgetown will gain new laurels in the Carolina Relays, the Seton Hill Rela s, Penn Relays and the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet in the spring is a certainty. 153
