Season.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.--Wrestling has

between the teams OF the Naval Acad-
emy and Brooklyn Polytechnic. During
the week practice in this line has beer
very active. and it will be kept up zeal
ously In anticipation of the other
matches on the schedule.
With thrco competent coaches, the
Naval Academy is probably better
equipped in this particular than any
other college team. John Schultz. who
has developed the teams which have not
lost a match in three seasons. again has
charge, and he is being assisted by
Frank Lynch. formerly successful pro-
fessional wrestler, and Oral Swigert,
captain of the team last season and one
Of the best college wrestlcrs OF recent
years.
The best men at the different weights
are: Unlimited. Wiedorn. Engleman.
shewcll; 175 pound. Lewis (csptain).
woodside: 15s pound. Smith. Yelverton
i45 pound. Morgan. Sutleff: i35 pound.
c. c. Adoe. Leighy; 125 pound. Sinclair.
Simmons, Nicholson; 1i6 pound, Tim
bcriake. Hopkins. All OF these have bad
somc experience on tho academy squad
except shcwell and Timberlakc. who are
members OF the new class.
The coaches were disappointed IN not
securing a man of the normal weight
for the unlimited class, but Wiedorn.
tackle on tho football team and a
wrestler of considerable experience. IS
expected to make up for his lack OF
weight. In a large measure. by his
strength and knowledge OF the game.
He weighs only $50 pounds, however.
and will be called upon regularly to
meet opponents from twenty to thirty
pounds heavier.

National Association Rules
That Names Must Be An
nounced With Decisions.
CONCESSION TO KILBANE
Proposed Plan to Have Wrest-
ling Bouts in Rounds Of
Ten Minutes.
ny CHARLES #. >MATHLsoN.

One OF the rulings made by the Ma
s'onai Boxing Association at its re-
cent annual meeting in New Orleans
viii have terrifying effect on boxing
ploycd. This rule provides that when
Judges decide a bout their names and
tto nature OF the decision must be
announced from the ring. Under the
regulations in this State the announcer
collects vote slips from the Judges and
the referee. If two OF the votes agree
that IS the decision. If all three dis
agree the decision automatically is a
draw.
If the New York Commission were to
become a member of the national as
sociation and enforced such ruling 1t
would be difficult to get men to risk
their lives as judges. As the case
stands the spectators arc kept In igno-
rance of the way In which the Judges
vote. But IL the partisans of boxer
knew who decided against their man
there might be lively times In the club
house.
An amendment to the constitution
was passed which admits to member
ship one representative of the United
States Army and one of the United
States Navy. Invitations will be sent
20 these departments to join the asso-
citation.
Tho action of the Cleveland Commits
Eion in permitting Johnny Wilson to
bring his own referee was severely
criticized. However, as the one year
suspension of Wilson was carefully in
vestigated by the Ohio Association of
Boxing Commissions the N. b. A voted
no support their action and has placed
Wilson under suspension until Septem-
Der 2, 1922.
New Jersey. which forfeited its MEM
pership, was reinstated and an invita-
tion sent to the new commission to
again take up membership with the as
Eociation.
New York and Massachusetts were
also invited to membership. Neither of
these States has ever given a definite
reason for its failure to join the as
ISOLATION and it Is expected that they
will be in before long.
Minnesota was reinstated and the ap-
Jlications for membership from Ne
braska, Texas, Tennessee and Connec-
tcut were acted upon. Tennessee was not
accepted. rs the State has no official
boxing head. However. an affiliation
WAS accomplished which calls for recog-
milton of the N. B. A. rulings.
