COLUMBIA CANE SPREES
Boxing and Wrestling Tame
Beside This Contest.

Lovers OF boxing and wrestling would
have a treat In store II they attended the
annual Columbia University cane spree
Ing championships. which will be held In
the university gymnasium next Friday
night Heretofore the cane sprees. as they
are known AT Columbia. have been closed
affairs, and only the members OF the stu
dent body were allowed to attend. This
year. however the student governing
board has ruled that the sprees are to
be held In the evening In conjunction
with the Columbia Polytechnic basketball
game.
For rough and tumble work cane Spree
ms is as good as a wrestling match and
n boxing bout rolled into one. The con-
testants struggle on "A twenty-foot mat
for undisputed possession OF a cane 3
feet inches long and about 1 inch in
diameter
Practically everything but downright
smuggling goes, the man having the cane
entirely TO himself winning. The rounds
are ot five minutes. After the third
round the battle goes on to finish. The
Columbia sprees will decide underclass
supremacy.

concerned undoubtedly will do their ut
most to bring the old boat up TO the high

will bee throughout an element OF doubt
as to whether even those most intimately
associated with the trials Will be able to
gauge the merits OF the new boat as con-
