MOVEMENT TO
REVIVE BOXING
AT HARVARD q"
Efforts to Put Sport on
Former Basis Meeting
With Success

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. =. - Ellery
II. Clark. former all round athletic
champion, now assistant treasurer
of the Harvard Athletic association,
again Is behind the movement to bring
about a revival of boxing here.
Last winter there was much inter-
est in. the sport. Plans are being
made for a tournament, late in the
winter, that will rival those of the
middle and late sos, when boxing
had great hold on the undergradu-
ates.
Last winters experiments were
successful, and the final bouts not
only were well attended, but some
great sport was furnished in all the
classes. Jimmy Walsh again will be
the instructor at the Hemenway
gymnasium, and enough boys have
enrolled on Ellery Clarke's lists to
make it certain that many more boys
will be, in the sparring classes than
there were a year ago.
It has been suggested that it may
be possible for Harvard to have some
intercollegiate boxing competition.
The sport has been taken up at Will
Hams, and 1t is believed here that a
tournament between the Harvard and
Williams boxers could be arranged.
Whether the Harvard faculty or
athletic committee will sanction in.
tercollegiate boxing will depend large
ly upon how the regular HI. A. A.
bouts are conducted. Boxing bouts
between Harvard and Yale and
Princeton, however. are still far dis
