H. A. {. HOST TO
VISITING BOXERS
IN Bic TOURNEY
National A, A, u, Champions
to Show ProWeSS in Local
Ring Meet,

The Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. boxing
championships viii start tonight at the
Hooster A c. gymnasium at Pratt and
Meridian SIS. and continue through Fri
dav and Saturday nights. The semi
finals VIII be held on Friday and the
final title bouts on Saturday. All
classes win be contested. The winners
probably will go to the national senior
tourney to be held in Boston early IN
April.
The keenest competition seems likely
to develop between the boxers of the
Gary Y. NJ. c. a. and the Hoosier A. c.
Both organizations are noted for their
boxing activities and have entered large
teams. Culver Military Academy also
must be reckoned with, as that instttu-
ton makes a speciality of the manly art
OF seIf-defense."
Boxers from other clubs and those who
have entered unattached OF which not so
much is known may spring some sur
prises. There Is always d dark horse
lurking somewhere in any branch OF
sport.
No Kentucky Entries
A rather peculiar situation exists in
the fact that. although the winners IN
the various weights carry the titles Of
Indiana Kentucky champions. thsre IS
not a boxer entered from the Blue Grass
state. This division of the A. A. U. in
cludes Kentucky, but the Colonies are
not represented
All OF the boxers were 10 weigh In this
afternoon at O'Clock at the II A c.
The boys have been training st:eUuously
for some weeks and are anXiouSly wait
ing for the tap OF the bell that sends
them in 10 match their skin with other
boxers of their weight.
Among the boxers are such well-knwon
init artists as Alexander Bush light
heavyweight Midwest champion OF Gull
yer Military Academy: George Aulhol-
land. national junior ght heavyweight
champ and Roy Wallace. national jun
Tor middleweight title holder, both Of the
n A c.; Theodore Won Storch. state
bantam champ. and Larry Simon. ma
JIonal senior welterwei cht champion.
both Of the Gary Y NJ C. A.
Plenty of Action
The fans will not have 70 urge any
of the amateur leather pushers to fight.
The tap OF the bell usually sends them
into action. Three rounds q three min
ures duration is the limited time they
have TO show. and there cant be much
stalling

letic Union has selected and sanctioned
