OLYMPIC FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS
By ''Spike" Webb
UNITED States Olympic Boxing Coach)

Annapolis, Nd, April 25.-R-
Looking over he field Of foreign
boxers who probably will enter the
Olympics this summer, there is
little doubt but what England and
Germany will throw the strongest
aggregation Of fighters into the
ring at Amsterdam to meet the
American contenders.
This will be Germany's initial ap.
pearance in the Olympic square.
circle, but her likely performance
will be far from that Of tie novice.
Reports from the other side dise::. Sc
that German boxers have been
showing fine style in meets with
northern European countries and
this closed competition has put them
in excellent form for the games
At Amsterdam in August.
Then. too, the British colonies
from South Africa are usually looked
to for . good team, and recent
information from st. John Dean,
coach Of the South African battlsrs,
indicates that he will give the Uni
ted States double the trouble he Of
fered in 1924. And ! am appre-
hensive regarding the South Afri-
cans, for they have advanced b.
leaps and bounds IN fight circles
during the last decade.

American countries will offer il not
