Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 4. - The
Harvard athletic authorities have sent
out second appeal to thousands OF
the university's graduates asking con-
tributions to purchase rugby and Soc

Boxing FANS Owe
Big Debt TO teddy
Announcement Years Ago of Loss ol
Eye in Bout Would Have
Killed Game.

| ne punch IndL cost Col. hOOSeNelt
the sight OF one eye would have cost
its boxing life. IL T. r. had elected
to talk about the injury at the time it
happened years ago instead Of reveal
ing it the other day.
The game would have been outlawed
from coast to coast. Instead OF being
recognized and honorable form OF
diversion 1t would have become an an
cient, obsolete sport. So much do the
boxing fans owe to Roosevelt.
Imagine the outburst against the
game which would have thrown the
country into spasms II the announce
ment was made that the President of
the United States had lost an eye
while boxing. All the various well-in-
| tentioned but misinformed old women
| of both sexes, who are forever de-
nouncing the sport, would have had
their innings at last. They would
| have needed nothing more. Righteous
| legislatures would have turned their
attention to boxing. The services of
an undertaken would have been needed
to give the corpse a decent burial
Roosevelt. being a keen student OF
crowds and mob psychology, gave the
pack no chance to use his hurt as am
munition. Always an admirer of box
ing, he did much to purify the sport
when police commissioner in New
York. When he went into the White
House he carried his love for the game
with him. He would have done a NOR
tai injury to that game IL he had let
the public know that his sight had
been impaired through a friendly box
ing bout. This would have command
ed more attention and comment ad-
verse to boxing than all the deaths
that have occurred in the ring since
Teseus, of Athens, entered his first
preliminary couple of thousand years
ago.
Thorough boxing training for the
men now in the national army camps
has been arranged for. 1t was an
nounced today, by the commission on
Training Camp Activities, through DR..
Joseph Z. Raycroft, of Princeton Uni
versity, who has arranged for expert
boxers to teach the men. The in
structed groups in turn will become
Instructors.
The system of instruction Is based
on that evolved by Sergeant Bill Arm
strong, of the Canadian army. The

the motions being almost the same as

Matches play but small part in the

In addition to the practical work.
the theory Of the relation of boxing
to bayonetins will be shown by mo-

tai motions of the two methods Of
combat will be compared and an
alyzed. For this purpose films have

various boxing movements. and COM
