IL indicates a liberal attitude toward
athletics on the part Of the authorities.
The permission will have an enliven-
ing effect upon track athletics and sport
in general, as all the privileges which
were formerly given. with a possibility
of others. are expected to be available
in a short time.
The MILDLY athletes who rae hoping to
take the next trip are the members OF
the fencing team. who have applied for
permission TO enter the tournament OF
the Intercollegiate Fencing Association,
which will take place IN New York late
this month. This permission had been
granted for years prior to the war.
The privilege of most importance IL
that OF taking the necessary trips to
meet the military academy teams in
baseball and football. May 81 has been
reserved for baseball. and II Is the turn
of the mdshipmen TO take trip TO
West Point 1t is almost certain that
there will be no Interference on the part
of the authorities, and II Is equally GER
tain that the football games will be re-
newed In the fall, the service teams
meeting in New York on November 20.
The oarsmen also have had the oppor-
tunity OF contesting away from home
once during the year and are anticipat-
ing renewal. II Is understood that per-
mission will be granted to take first and
second Fights and the fourth class eight
and perhaps four TO the American
Henley, which will be rowed at Phila-
delphia during the last week in June.
There are a number who are interested
in athletics at the Naval Academy who
are hoping for even greater privileges to
the athletic teams in the shape OF per-
mission to enter events outside of An
napolis or play game or 50 a season
away from home in each sport Even
should the football team be permitted
to play only one game, besides the army
! contest, away from home. 1t would go
long way toward meeting Its diff
culties.
Such rule was in force n few years
ago, and the Midshipmen did play the
| University OF Pennsylvania at Philadel
phia one game, Pennsylvania playing
the other year in Annapolis. 1t was
hoped that similar arrangement could
have been made with another big team,
probably Princeton, so that each Of these
| teams would play the Midshpment in
Annapolis and on their own grounds in
alternate years.
Many people believe that there Is no
sound reason why the Mdshipmen should
| not be allowed at least n part OF the
| privileges of other students in the way
| of taking trips to play games. OF
| course, long trips, with consequent in
reference with training. arc not OK
! f-es ted, but 1t Is felt than no harm
| could be done by one or two short trips
| during a season, while II would probably
benefit the Midshipmen by putting them
| in contact with the students of other in
situations, and would place the academy
before the public in the right way.

MONTREAL, March THAT all branches
Of sport will be revived at the various
Canadian universities this season Is as
sured by the announcement OF the an
nual meeting OF the Canadian Intercolle-
giate Amateur Athletic Association. The
meeting will be held at Kingston on Sat
urday, February 22, when plans FOR tho
coming season will be decided on.
McGill and Queens universities favor
complete resumption OF sports on a
pre-war basis, while r. NJ. c. will follow
with Queens In whatever stand they
take. No announcement has been made
from Toronto, other than that the Uni
versity Athletic Association would be
ready to take up sports next autumn.
That announcement was made following

Decisions Are Needed.

decisions by official referees from the

the almost general change OF opinion
on that subject. Nearly every boxing
bill that has been introduced In recent
months calls for bouts TO decision,
and there is promise Of general elernina-
ton OF the decisonless farces.
1t seems to be realized that the lack
OF decisions did more harm to boxing
than any other single factor. as Il en-

With the prevalent discussion OF ath-

curtailment of extravaganza in college

Indicate that Harvard and Yale expend
$4,000 apiece annually on the main
tenance OF crews. Columbias rowing

II that contention is correct then Nc
Auliffe, who weighed 1876 to 1877 In a
majority OF his title fights, was not a

won the lightweight championship Of the

at 1876, was not a genuine lightweight

lost at 1871 II. was not genuine light
weight when he won, but was when he
lost.
Battling Nelson. who won the title at
1914 and lost at 1913 was the first
genuine lightweight Of the class. and Ad
Wolgast. who won at 1S3 and lost at 1873
was the second genuine lightweight
Richie Was and Wasn't.
While Richie vas a genuine light
weight when he won at SO, but was not
a lightweight when he lost to Welsh Mt
1856.
Welsh never was genuine light
weight, as he won at 1875 and lost al 1856,
and Leonard. who won at 1875. never was
genuine lightweight.
Therefore up to the time OF Tender
and Welllng there were but two genuine
lightweights--Ne Nelson and WolEast.
Such being the case. perhaps Il would
be advisable TO scratch the names Of Nc
Auliffe, Lavigne, Erne. Cans, Richie,
Welsh and Leonard off the championship
records.
Those boxers have been weighed and
found to be too heavy. They were great
fighters and boxers. but they failed to
make the mythical 1913 pounds. Expuuse
their names from the list OF title hold
ers and In future permit only l3s pound
ers to contest for the championship,

crssors is as n tallow dip 10 an arc light .
