Boxing Instructor Has Ambi-

Camp.
A camp. of 300 boxers!

That is the dream of Sergeant
William HOPPE. boxing instructor at
Camp Holabird and co.handler with
Jimmy Bronson in the handling OF
Eddie Burnbrook and Bob Garcia,
two clever n1ittn1en who seem head
ed toward the championships in the
welter and featherweight divisions
respectively.
At present there are only about
twelve boxers at Holabird, according
to HOPPE, and in recent bouts with
Camp Eustis men the Holabird sol.
diers were decidedly outclassed. The
visitors, coached by Captain Nab
butt. were superior in every way
and HOPPE Is determined that in the
future he will be prepared.
Hopfe's plan is to get the men
together every afternoon, taking one
company at a time. and work with
them. He will personally instruct
each man in the art Of sclf-defense
and when they show enough class
will put them on in a series of ANA
teur tournaments at the Holabird
auditorium.
In addition to his scheme for hav-
ing a camp of boxers HOPPE also
has ambitious plans for his stars,
Burnbrook and Garcia. He and
others believe that both men have
excellent chances of landing titles
in their respective divisions and they
will be taken along gradually.
