Harlow generally is regarded as one

in the East.
One of the rather strange things
about this proposition of box
ing in the colleges is that not only is
the sport growing, but it is being ad
Vocated and supported by some PEG.
pie, who are against foot ball because
of its brutality.
With Georgetown announcing il
will have a boxing team, and with
Catholic University already in the
field, it seems that George Washing.
ton and Maryland are the only two
institutions Of any size in the whole
South Atlantic section that are not
represented in the squared ring.
When these two will succumb to the
lure is a question. hut in one of them
there is a decided opposition to box
ing as a form of intercollegiate COM
petition.
College boxing seems to be exceed
irgly popular in places where there
are no professional bouts. Here in
Washington an admission charge to
boxing bouts is prohibited, and the
rather unusual situation is developed
whereby the colleges have turned to
a form Of competition on which the
police have their thumbs down.
Burton Shipley, coach of basket
ball at Maryland. has tried a good
many combinations this Winter in an
effort to satisfy himself as to the
best team he could put on the floor,
but seems to have arrived at the con-
clusion that Faber and Dean, guards;
Adams, center, and Linkous and Boyd,
forwards. form about his best bet.
Four of these, Adams, Boyd, Dean and
Faber, are former Washington high
school players, Adams and Boyd from
Tech. Faber from Eastern and Dean
from Central.
However, these five men need not
think their places entirely won, as a
regular in Shipley's mind does not
mean so much. He always tries to
develop some good reserve material,
and sometimes the regulars do not
know whether they are the regulars
or reserves.
Boyd and F'aber, though. may not
be able to start against Washington
College Friday or against Georgia on
Saturday in the big games to be play

injured leg in the Navy game and it
is not responding to treatment, while
Faber has been bothered with a bad
