ing depends upon aggressive de-

All back stepping, covering up and
purely defensive work are discour-
aged under the Army boxing rules
and each contestant is made subject
to a penalty for such work. This
latter recommendation is a direct
departure from the accepted stand
ard of ring strategy which puts a
premium on purely defensive tao

Under the new rules a total of six

Under the Army rules the referee
is shorn of much power. Many of
his active functions have been del

is assisted by a clerk. Fouls are
clearly defined and are within the
jurisdiction of the referee who may
disqualify Immediately any contest

BOXING YANKS TO WIN WAR
One-dnd-d-hdf Million Men NoW Training to Eliminate
the Hun With the Jab and Short Hook

To fight the Hun and vanquish him
at close range is the implacable de-
termination announced to-day by
the commission on training camp
activities which represents the Army
and Navy. 1t is safe to say that
never in the history of the world has
nation concentrated the activities
of its soldiers on boxing for the pur-
pose of settling world dispute. The
Roman Caesar was a demon on
training his fighters with all sorts
of athletics, including boxing. and
it may be recalled to-day that it
was close range use of the short
sword that made the Roman Legion
immortal.
This is precisely what the govern
ment of America evidently contem-
plates to-day for elaborate reading
material arrived at every sporting
editors desk this morning asking
that the newspapers freely help in
this uncommon and universal cause.
One immediate result of this Federal
action will be to set aside Marquis
of Queensbury rules in boxing and
supplant them with the new Ameri-
can rules, as set forth by DR.. Joseph
E. Raycroft, head of the athletic
division of the commission. The
capital point in these new rules is
that more credit is given to the boxer
who is aggressive in spite of pun
ishment than to the one who covers
up or clinches.
The object of teaching boxing in
the Army is to make head up and
eyes open" two-fsted. fighting men.
rather than expert boxers and ring
fighters. Therefore the instruction
of the mass-and not of a few in
dividuals-is of prime importance.
Work for the largest number of
men in the shortest possible time.
Eliminate the "frills" and fancy
work and do your best to get the
men to fight aggressively and eff
fectively. Six standard blows are
sufficient. A straight left, we'll de-
livered and backed up by aggressive
American determination, is a Boche
eliminent in nine cases out of ten.
The big contribution of boxing to
military training is to develop in
men. the willingness and ability to
hght at close range. Its purpose is
to teach soldiers to give and take
punishment. There is a close rela-
ton in the qualities required for
boxing and bayonet fighting. Both.
require agility of body, quickness of
eye, good balance and control in Civ
ing a punch or thrust. and an ag-
gressive fighting spirit that breaks
down or weakens defense, and makes
openings for an effective finish"
An efficient fighting soldier must
not only be trained in the technique
of offense and defense. but must
he charged" with the proper fight
ing spirit. We are dealing with men
who are strangers in the main to
personal combats of any nature. and
1t is toward this cIHes of soldiers
that the major portion of athletic
and boxing activities should be di-
rected. Forward action and aggres-
siveness in bayonet fighting is es-
