dangerous rival.
The academy has taken a leading
part in developing boxing as an in
tercollegiate sport, and 1t is felt that,
with the rules governing the sport
carried out rigidly, all unpleasant fea-
lures of professional boxing have been
eliminated.
There is a particular desire that the
tournament will have the effect Of
spreading an, understanding Of the
rules which. govern intercollegiate
boxing.
In particular, it is pointed out that
the rules are framed in such a way
as to insure meetings Of contestants

classed or in danger of injury and to
stress good boxing rather than slug
ging. -
A practice that is not generally un.
derstood is that Of deciding bout on
the basis Of the result Of majority
of the three rounds. Thus It happens
that contestant having a shade the
better of two rounds Is likelSe to win
though badly beaten in the third.
A unique incident of boxing con-
tests is that roofing, applause or ad-
vice from the spectators is rigidly
prohibited.
: Preliminaries for the. 115, 1856 and
145 pound classes will start at 8
o'clock Friday afternoon and those in
the 100, IT'S and unlimited weight

will be held Saturday afternoon. and
