Boxing proved the chief attrac-
tion Of the program Except in two
of the events. the Pennsylvanians
were either outfought. or uncon-
ditioned to meet the challenge Of
the naval boys. The 175-popnd mill
between O'Regan. Navy. and Lucas,
was decidedly the stellar one Of the
meet. Lucas, of rather rangy build
compared to his opponent, had .
slight advantage of reach which he
used with telling effect and was
also quicker In handling himself.
The first round between them was
marked chiefly by clever sparring
and Of what few mixups there were,
Lucas had q slight advantage. In
the second setto. they went At each
other In much livelier fashion. both
delivering and taking some stin
punches. o'Regan appeared to

Both. however. became pretty well
fatigued In the melee, although
they recovered somewhat. before
the bell.
The judges. Micky whitehurst. Of
Baltimore, and Daniels, Baltimore

agree. One called II a draw; the
other suggested another round, but
Referee Billy Recap gave the award
to Lucas. The decision seemed q
popular one, as evidenced by the
applause, Certain II was that the
Psnnsyivania man had outpointed
his opponent.
Rival captains clashed in the
1i5-pound event-Miller, OF Navy.
and Breslin. Both showed some
clever work At times and there was
scarcely any choice at the close OF
the second round. In the finai fracas.
however. there was q good deal OF
pounding. In which honors were
even. Such was the judgment Of the
officials, and an extra round OF two
minutes was ordered. Mittler was
plainly In better shape and got the
better OF this, hence the award in
his favor.

The Navy gymnasts were again in
fine form. and took the major num-

six events. They have not. how

could do In that was third place.
