In lop Armory Mat Scrap George Dusette. the muscle-loaded matador from Montreal, .an all-time favorite in local mat circles, gets his big apportunity tonight at the Armory. George goes against Rogers Mackay, the young sensa tion from Salt Lake City, for Mackay's Coast junior heavy title belt, a coveted bauble Dusette has been after for many a moon but has been unable to capture. Matchmaker Elton Owen wanted a battle .ior Salem and selected Dusette .as "definitely the out standing challenger" And Owen himself will be among the many who hope that - the deserving George is able to wrest the belt from the big, fasti and tricky Mackay. The champ almost lost the belt to thegent he took it from many months ago in a recent match at Koseburg. He was up against Frank S to jack, and Frank pinned him the only fall in the hour-long sizzler. National Wrestling Alli ance rules insist that a 'challenger must pin a champion twice In or der to take the title. So S to jack missed by a whisker. Dusette hopes that his powerful full nelsons will be the items re sponsible for a change in man agement of the belt tonight. The special match puts the ter rific Cal Roberts of Vancouver, B.C. opposite Mr. Sakata, Jap American -strong boy with the vicious Judo pranks. Roberts is on the rise in local mat ranks, but is against a Grade-A gent in Sa kata. ' Sakata's partner in tag team mat crimes, Tol Ofamato, is in the 8:30 o'clock -opener with the veteran warrior of many a mat battle, Gust Johnson. Yamato was dis qualified in his local match with Roberts last week, a wild melee that finally ended in the dressing rooms where the sinister Jap was again counted out.

Maryland's narrow 13-10 soueak over Missouri was the most sur prising of the first big day of the season Saturday. The Terrapins were rated the second-best team in the country behind Michigan state in tne pre-season Associated Press poll of sports writers and SDorts casters, but thev did not play up to expectations.

Jack Scar bath, an All-America candidate connected for his second touch down pass, and the Terps had the game. But Texas Christian and Ken tucky had no such luck. The de fending southwest conference champions went down to an lgno minous 13-0 shutout at the hands of Kansas and Villanova thrashed Kentucky. 25-6.
