Raps College Boxing

In the current issue of the Penn
sylvania Gazette. the University of
Pennsylvania s weekly alumni mag
azine, is an editorial warning the
promoters of college boxing to pro-
ceed slowly in their efforts TO make
boxing competitive intercollegiate
sport.
The editor points out that as Il
collegiate sport college boxing is
liable to become the prey of the pro-
fessional boxing promoter, and that
the danger from the professional ele-
ment would be even greater than the
professional promoter in football
against which all college associations
are up in arms.
