DAN BUCKLEY PRAISED
Waterbury Boy at villanoya Col
 lege is Doing Finely.

Villanova, Pa, Feb 21.-Last night In the college auditorium the Villa nova Alumni Athletic association held it's annual entertainment, and it clearly surpassed anything of the kind held here in former years. The presence of Daniel Buckley of Wa terbury, Conn, on the staff of physi- cal instructors has added a new tone to boxing as was evidenced last even ing. The results of MT Buckleys excellent instruction and the highly successful manner in which he con ducts his classes were brought to light in the several exhibitions given by his pupils. The best of these was between Joseph Mahan of Water bury, Conn, and William Hoover of Washington, D. C., in which Mahan carried off the honors.
 Good entertainment was found in a three round bout between George Rall of Philadelphia and Joseph Hagen, sparring partner to Jack O'Brien. Both men are enthusiastic alumni
 The final exhibition, however, be- tween Daniel Buckley, amateur champion of Connecticut, and Jack Egan, amateur champion of Ameri- ca, far surpassed the most vivid an ticipations. It was the finest exhibi- tion of scientific boxing one could look at. Both men went at each other with mercurial speed and again and again their clever work elicited cheer after cheer from the specta- tors. They were at their best and they showed from their work that boxing can be after all laudable and highly commendable art.
 Buckley was outpointed by the more experienced Egan. but his clever defensive work was marvel ous. yet at times he successfully car ried the lead to Egan.
 In Buckley's corner was Joseph Slavin, who with Buckley has won fame for Villanova as we'll as for Waterbury on the college gridiron.
 Villanova is fortunate in having the gentlemanly Dan in the boxing department of athletics. Though he is an earnest and conscientious stu dent in the business course, yet he finds time to put into athletics that earnestness and vim which are but the generous counterpart of his own extraordinary ability.
