from Westminster were victorious,
taking four of the seven matches
with the Hilltoppers.
1t was the first intercollegiate box

there were few vacant seats in the
huge Arcadia. There were no de-
lays between the bouts and the fans
held their enthusiasm in check while
the mittmen were exchanging
punches. intercollegiate rules pro-
hibit any cheering during the pro-
gress of the bouts.
There were two knockouts-ooth

Princeton to Tackle
Navy Early Next Year

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 27.--F'rom
intimations made by Princeton ath-
letic officials the Tigers will not
play Navy next year after it has
met Yale. The teams wills meet
probably in October.
Princeton people appear to regard
the late game with the Navy as q
strategic mistake. 1t is pointed out
that defeat as the game resulted,
marred the whole season, while a
victory would not add greatly to the
prestige of team which had de-
feated Yale and had lost game,
As the record of the Navy team
was rather poor up to Saturday,
Princeton had much more to lose
by defeat than it had tosrgain by
victory.
