Defence Opposed
In Boxing Rules
For Army Camps
New Code Like Queensberry
Favors Aggresslveness-
Judges Aid Referee

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Oficial
army boxing rules to govern boxing
contests among the million and q half
men in training were issued to-day by
che War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities. The new
code differs radically from the codes
commonly In use for the last ten or
fifteen years and resembles more par
ticuiarly the Marquis of Queensberry
rules, which laid stress on fast, clever
fighting. Greater credit Is given to the
boxer who is aggressive in spite of pun
shmcnt than to the one who covers up
or clinches.
"A million and half men Of the new
army. are being taught to box" says
athletic division Of the commission, in
statement accompanying the new
rules" because it develops in them those
qualities of alertness and pugnacity
which make them better bayonet fight
ers. Success in bayonet fighting de-
ponds upon aggressive determination
and attack even more than upon tech
nical skill. Boxing develops this ag-
grcssiveness in offence. A fierce at
lacking forward action beyonet charge
means SO per cent quota of fighting
men returned to safety. That is one
important reason why the new boxing
rules set high premium upon often.
sive rather than on defensive fighting"
Penalty for Dodging
All back stepping, covering up and
purely defensive work are discouraged
under the army boxing rules and each
contestant is made subject to a penalty
for such work This latter recon-
mendation is direct departure from
the accepted standard Of ring strategy
which puts a premium on purely de-
fensive tactics.
blows constitutes the ground plan Of
the boxing programme. The mainte-
nance Of such a series of blows must
be taken into consideration in the
final Judgment of points. "The value
of attack cannot be overestimated and
should be considered a prime factor in
the alloting of points" it is stipulated.
The new rules which were formu-
lated upon consultation with the COM
mission boxing instructors in the vari
Gus camps lay particular emphasis
in the Furthermore training Of the men
who are going to be bayonet fighters.
Under the army rules the referee is
shorn of much power. Many of his
active functions have been delegated
to two judges. each Of whom il as
sisted by a clerk. Fouls are clearly
defined and are within the jurisdiction
Of the referee, who may disqualifv i'm
mediately any contestant for attempted
unsportsmanlike tactics. Downs are
limited 20 the standard of ten seconds.
To gain fast action the time limit per
round has been made two minutes in
stead Of three minutes for novice
bouts. Four rounds will be boxed ex-
ccpt in the case of divisional cham
pionship contests, which may run six
rounds

Frank Shea, the intercollegiate quar-

hold himself in restraint after hearing
of the daring escapades of American

in athletic competition at the Smoky

the other is an annual game in Wash

There Is no doubt that both Of these
would prove lucrative. Permission to
play one away-from- home game a sea-
son, with gate receipts, probably would
be the means Of procuring sufficient
revenue. This had been in force about
two years prior to the war, but has
been withdrawn, for the present at
least.
There never has been a charge for

the way. OF course, the midshipmen
and officers subscribe much more than
the amount that would be asked for a
season ticket, but the general public
pays nothing. It is true that the
grounds are q part Of q government
reservation. but the stands were erect

Association. There is no doubt that
there would be large attendance from

ANNAPOLIS. June 22.--The matter
of proper opponents for the Naval
Academy football team is being given
great deal Of consideration by the
members Of the naval, contingent. The
solution depends entirely upon fnan-
cial considerations. Strong teams can
be brought to Annapolis If sufficient
guarantee Is offered. If it is not, they
say frankly that they will not come.
Under present conditions the Naval
Academy cannot offer large guaran-
tees, 80 that means Of procuring more
money for the purpose are being con-
sidered.
The matter is of particular moment
at this time, because there Is no rea-
son to believe that the game against
the West Point team will be played
next season, and, further, many naval
people believe that they will have the
strongest team in the country next
season If they can only have suf-
opposition. West Virginia Wesleyan
is, at present. the only team on the
schedule that looks like'it will be able
to give the midshipmen q hard game.
No games have been obtained for the
last two Saturdays in November. The
last is being kept with tho hope that
somehow the. Army game can be
played. and the management still is
hoping that one Of the big teams may
all the other date for the final local
game, though there are no prospects
now.
The revenue suggestions have been
three in number: A direct appropria-
ton for the purpose by Congress, per-
mission to play in one or more games
. year where cato receipts may be
charged, and an admission charge on
the home grounds. Congress now
makes an appropriation for the equip
ment Of the teams. and Il Is thought
that It might be willing to provide q
sum for guarantees when it is demon
strated that games Of the right kind
cannot be played otherwise.
Two Plans Advanced
Two definite suggestions have been
made in the way Of games away from
home with gate receipts. One Of these

It will lead to a better life among the people, and, as it chances, is really being done as war measure, on direct instruc- lions from the Uniled Stale Depart ment of Agriculture.
 In this county, A. J. Smith is the government agent in this work and is pushing it with the extreme of energy.
 Among the definite aims outlined are the maintenance of production, the preservation of the interests of the farmers, and the safeguarding of seeds, breeding stock, etc. and especial stress is put on the neces- sity of financing the farmers at the lowest possible rates of interest
 All this is patriotic work of the best kind, and if reports are true Polk county is shaping up to be among the best organized in the efafa
