The future of boxing as an inter-
collegiate sport seems assured, ac-
cordlng to information received by
Lieut. Commander William A. Rich
ardson, gymnasium officer at the
Naval Academy. More than twenty
six universities and colleges have
signified their intention of engaging in
the sport during the coming season.
and rules have been adopted, after the
most careful consideration, which, 1t
is believed will insure fairness and
craftsmanship in connection with all
bouts.
While those who are connected with
the development OF the sport in the
colleges are enthusiasts on the sub
ject. they recognize that there are a
number OF features about boxing
which make it differ from other
sports, and which, if not carefully
safeguarded. will make it anything but
a wholesome influence in the colleges.
1t has been the special object of the
members of the rules committee to so
frame these regulations that the high
est standards of fairness and sports
manship will prevail.
To Frame Set OF Rules
The committee to which the work
Of framing these rules was committed
by the National Collegiate Athletic AS
sociati)n consists of Lieut. Command
err Richardson, Hugo Bezdek, athletic
director of Pennsylvania State Col

compared to the old State militia, and
gave some pointers as 10 how cam

ed if it would be successful.
There was a general discussion OF
the whole matter, and one of the real
points was whether or not the main
tenance of a company of the Federal
lied Guard here in the city would be
an asset or liability. The committee
was unanimous in the view that it
would be an asset, following the dis
cussions. a letter, in the form of a
resolution. calling on the citizens TO
aid in the movement, was adopted.
The text of the letter. which will be
sent broadcast, follows:
ITO the Citizens of Annapolis and
Surrounding Vicinity;
AT a meeting held Monday
night by the General Committee
appointed by the Governor of
Maryland, for the purpose OF
studying the local situation re-
garding the community interest
as to whether a local company of
the Federalized National Guard
should be formed; this committee
places itself upon record as
heartily approving the formation
of Company M First Maryland
Regiment of Infantry, National
Guard, and urges all citizens of
Annapolis and vicinity, especially
the employers of young men and
parents of young men, to actively
assist in the drive during the
coming weeks to secure the quota
Of 100 men for Company m" the
local unit of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard.
I'm these restless times of dis
order and irritation, as State,
we are counting grave calamity
and tempting Providence to be
| without State protection. No one
can reasonably expect the protec-
ton of the State unless he is will
ing to help protect it, We are not
a military nation, nor do we favor
large standing army, we believe
in citizen<soldiery ever ready to
defend the principles of our coun-
try.
ITO the community military
| organization gives sounder,
more loyal group of citizens. 1t
provides a body of trained men
for use in emergency, and full
fills the duty of the community to
its State and Nation.
Annapolis is now the only city
in the State, where a military
company has been allotted, that
has not responded"

tons represented are those which
have taken a leading part in introduce
ing boxing as a college sport.
The rules which have been adopted,
and which will govern all collegiate
boxing next season. are based upon
the boxing rules of the War Camp Ac-
tivities, with certain notifications and
additions. A very special effort has
been made to bring about the elimina-
ton of anything bordering on profess
sionalism lack of craftsmanship.
An important change, which will
make possible the better matching of
contestants, is the increasing of the
number of classes from six to seven.
The divisions will be the same as in
wrestling, lis, 125, 1876, las, 15S, and
175-pound classes. with an allowance
of three pounds in each, and the I'M
limited weight class.
For A ''Central Board"
Excellent results are expected to
come from the establishment of a
Central Board of Officials" headed by
DIR. TAFT Mckenzie. of the University
of Pennsylvania. Its work will be. not
only to designate officials, but to see
that they are properly instructed and
qualified, and to render decisions on
disputed points.
The rules have also been drawn
carefully to insure the orderly con-
duct of the bouts. There viii be a
referee and two judges. the former in
the ring, but not permitted to touch
the contestants. On the other hand
his authority is increased, and he is
required to penalize all unsportsman-
like conduct, such as holding. The
seconds must be students of the COM
peting colleges, paid attendants not
being allowed.
The general feeling is that it will be
unwise to hold a final tournament. on
account of the time consumed in hand
ling il properly and for other reasons.
To take its place and make possible
decision as to the leading college team
and the leader at the different weights
it is proposed to establish definite
system of assigning points in all the
matches contested.
Middies Showed MettIe
The Naval Academy was generally
conceded first place in boxing the past
season. 1t defeated Pennsylvania
State and the University of Pennsyl-
vania decisively. Penn State defeated
Penn Varsity and also the University
OF Toronto. Yale did considerable in
ter-mural work looking to entering in
tercollegiate boxing this year. Yale.
Harvard, Princeton. West Point, Rut-
gers and Massachusetts Tech are
among those institutions which have
announced that they will enter COM
petiiiye boxing for the coming season.

limits.

be income taxation.

Milan, Italy.-The revolutionary

claim, that are most satisfying.
Socialist revolt, I'm which barrl-
cades were erected In the streets and

struggle between the rioters and the

According to news from Turin, n
large number OF textile factories were

was not warranted by the responsible

Two important meetings took place
during the day. The projects OF Milan
and Turin discussed the situation
with the masters and workmen's rep

That Vote Is Not Indication Of

Portland. Me.--The Republican
state and congressional tickets swept
Maine on Monday by $4,000 to 10000
votes. II was u landslide, and the final
count may show an even greater ma
jorlty.
Strong feeling against the league of
nations and the outpOuring of the
women v0ters-who were almost unit
against this alleged entangling alli-
ance-are given as the cause for the
unprecedented showing by the Repub-

The figures show that even with the
women voting heavily, the Democrats
barely held their own with the 1915
vote, when the women did not partIci-
pate.
Republican women throughout the
state were well organized, and early In
the day the Democratic women claimed
their rivals were intlmidating the
working girls at the polls.
Despite the overwhelming victory Of
the Republicans, Democratic leaders
claim that the largely increased Re-

Says That Accord Between Great Brit.

Parls.-At the conclusion Sunday
afternoon OF his conference with
Signor Gloletti, the Italian premier, at

clared to press correspondent that
"The war must be ended. That is why
we have given Poland the counsel Of
moderation which she seems disposed
to follows.
Our Interviews have been most cor
dial and confident. Naturally we have
agreed that an accord between Italy,
Gfeat Britain and France Is indlspen-
sable, not only in the interest of the
three allied powers, but for the main
tenance of world peace.
"The treaty of Versailles must be en-
forced, as well as that of St. German
and the others, because they constitute
an entity, and one of them cannot fail
without the others being shaken. am
absolutely In accord with that point
upon the formula accepted at Lucerne.
Treaties must be applied with moder-
alton by the victors and with loyalty
by the vanquished.
Settlement of the Adriatic question
occupied some of our time. Our posi-
tlon is unequivocal. Great Britain and
France at San RemO-and myself be-
fore and after San Remo-have stated
that neither Great Britain nor France
has the right to interfere between two
parties when a question concerns the =
alone.
1T Is our duty to make all efforts
TO persuade our Italian and Jugo-Slav
friends that II is to their interest and
the interest Of both countries and also
the world that this question, too long
deferred, be settled at the soonest mo-
ment possible I'm spirit Of equity and
moderation"
fhe premiers agreed to recommend
moderation to Poland In her victory In
order that peace might prevail at the
earliest date possible. But they were
not sure that the Bolsheviki were de-

The relations of the entente With the
