NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Winners of
boxing bouts in Camp Devens at Aver.
Mass. are going 90 get a chance TO
branch out during the winter. So much
enthusiasm has been thrown into this
branch OF military training at tho
camp that winners OF elimination
contests that have been started will
be sent TO Boston TO take part In the

taxation. This viii be especially neces-

plan is TO have weekly schools for
non-commissioned officers, these 20 be

every enlisted man. our experience
shows ms that the men take TO these
games with great enthusiasm and with
great benefit 10 themselves. The period
now given TO physical drill will be un-
doubtedly given over to this. purpose
