New York, Jan 3--Boxing AZ an
intercollegiate sport is rapidly gaining
supporters at a number OF colleges
and universities in all parts OF the
country and championship tourna-
ments under revised ring rules Z not
at all unlikely within he next few
iyearA .J~nter-varxity bouts between
Oxford and Cambridge universities
have been part Of the annual English
sport schedule for many years and
similar contests are not entirely un-
known in h United States
It is expected that such meetings
will become more frequent as the
boom in boxing gathers strength The
tendency in this direction is shown by
a number Of recen reports Of boxing
activity among the collegians. Word
comes from Peoria: ~. that the

a championship tournament would be
held next spring.
In the east the University of Penn
sylvania has long'been an ardent ad-
vocate of boxing o the college ath-
lete and has evera times suggested
the formation off an intercollegiate
boxing league. At the present time

The plan for a set Of international
boxing rules to supersede the anti.
quated Marquis Of Quensberry code
promises to be a subject of consider
able controversy during the coming
months. The army, navy and civilian
board OF boxing control in this ccun-
try recently sent a representative
abroad with the outline for new regu.
lations- Later it was learned that the
International Boxing Federation, ar
European organization, was also al

further learned that there was a wide
gulf between the proposed codes and
that so far as the European authori.
ties were concerned there was little
inclination to adopt the American
ideas.

One of the things that will do much,
to help skating is the alliance of tho
hockey and skating associations of
the United States and Canada This
alliance e a resumption of inter-
national c sports for championship
honors. With this alliance hockey
and other ice sports will come under
the joint control of the International
Skating Union of America and the
Canadian Hockey Associations. Plans
are now being arranged to permit OF a
series Of skating and hockey compe-
titions.
The Western Skating Association,
which directs the skating activities in
the Middle West is making extensive
changes in the rules and regulations
governing amateur ice skating for the
purpose of building up more compe-
tition and putting the sport on a
higher plane. One of the things the
Western Association intends to do is
to adopt the A. A. y. rule with refer
ence to the length of time an athelete
must complete unattached after leav-
