BOXING AS MAN BUILDER.

Charlie White, of Chicago. the light

Camp Custer, agrees with cantonment
officers that boxing has proved re-
markedly successful in the training OK
national soldiers.
THE more think OF the boxing
situation in camp. the more am en-
Unused over what wonderful physical
builder boxing IS" said White.
u have been working here for sew
eral weeks holding classes every day
and the improvement in mems spirit
and action is very noticeable. I know
one thing from experience. man
can not box unless he is in good physi-
cal condition and when men are In
condition TO box three 10 six rounds,
l am sure they are in condition to do
anything asked Of them in camp.
'T an working out schedule now
to have boxing bouts nearly every
night
Whites methods and results have
been praised by several cantonment
officers. II has been interesting to
note that some Of the lightweights
students are young men who did little
or no hard work before they were
drafted.

Twenty eight Thousand tackles Pull
ing For Great Lakes Five.
Great Lakes. H.. March o Twenty
eight thousand rooters-the largest
number of hackers that ever urged a
basketball team to victory-are the
proud enthusiasts who are placing
their faith in the crack five now at
tracing the attention OF the middle
west to the Great Lakes naval train
ing station here.
Opening the season with a few de-
feats that cast decided gloom over
the jackies. the basket tossers later hit
a stiff stride which revealed the fact
that Coach Olcott's men are all IN
dividual stars Of ability, as well as
being members Of quintet in which
team work is raised to the degree OF
perfection.
With the introduction into the line
up OF George Halas. former captain
OF the University OF Illinois five, the
team has become a truly dangerous OPP
ponent for the strong teams that still
remain on the navy teams scheule.
Johnson. who started with the ILL
no!s Athletic CLUB, Is showing much
better form than early in the season,
and Peppard, husky Michigan AZ
gies' center, continues to outclass MS
opponents at every tage OF the game
Much favorable comment is being
heaped upon Allen, guard. who is be-
coming an important factor on the
team because of his basket tossing
from a defensive position. Felmey, ex-
Illinois player, and Coveney, formerly
with the Detroit Rayls, are both hand
ling their positions like veterans.
