evidence Of the great progress made in
boxing by the athletic council With

bility 10 find an American soldier who
does not know how 10 use his dukes
There is considerable speculation
among soldiers as TO who the boxing
supervisor at the fort viii be. Many
are wondering II IL viii be foxy little
Kid Williams who put up such a bat
tie OF evasive cunning against his
Payos last Saturday night Williams
would certainly fill the bill

Guy Buckles. the veteran boxer OF
Camp Cody. who fought a draw with
/ Harvey Knight, OF the Seventh cav
airy. at Fort Bis last fall, while here
/ as Cody representative at the recent
/ inter-camp boxing tournament, paid a
| high compliment to Knights defen-
sive ability as a boxer. Il hope they
don't put nc against knight tonight
| said Buckles on the Afternoon OF the
meet because Harvey won't fight
and he won't let anybody else fight"
/ Buckles doubtless alluded TO Knights
! tactics in stopping Buckles's on
| slaughts in their former encounter
/ Guy seems TO have forgotten what
! Knight did to him during the last two
/ rounds when he says he won't fight
There has been considerable said
/ about the fear inspiring fighting faces
l OF Jim Jeffries. Terry McGovern and
] others. In the matter Of fighting
/ faces, Tommy Murphy. OF the Fifth
cavalry, and Nick Gundy. Seventh cav
[ airy. should not be overlooked.
/ Neither OF them look at an opponent
l in a way to make his blood run cold.
! Their fighting faces are altogether Of
l a different character-they smile.
! First inclination might be to say that
a smile IS but little terror to an op-
/ ponent but whoever believes that Is
1 badly mistaken. After an opponent
] has kicked Murphy two or three times
! on the Jaw hard enough to crumple a
/ church steeple and then sees that bat
I thing Mick look Up and laugh, the ter
ror Of defeat Is very liable 10 soak
/ into the heart OF ToThmy's aggressor,
I When a battler hangs a couple on
| Nick Gundy hard enough to salivate
I an ordinary man and stands waiting
: TO see Nick sink 10 the floor. and the
] Giant Killer" looks up and smiles
/ as pleasantly as II he were greeting
] some woman in a drawing room. Il
l sure has a dfscouraging effect on an
/ opponent unless he IS all grit
