SNOW COVERS ROCKIES;
BLIZZARD IN COLORADO
Increasing Wind Follows Balmy
Temperature in Lower Mis-
souri, Valley.
By the Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY, November lathe
storm gods rode over the West again
today, blanketing the Rocky Mountains
in wet snow and invading the prairies
of Kansas and the hills of Missouri.
Subfreezing temperatures followed a
blizzard which swept Colorado yester-
day, reaching the lowest points of the
year during the night. Apprehension
was felt in sugar-beet sections, because
the harvest is not completed. Frozen
ground will hamper operations, and
sugar factories have but a two-week
supply.
Balrny temperatures, which have pre-
vailed in the lower Missouri River VAL
ley, gave way this morning to an in
creasing wind, which Weather Bureau
forecasts said would bring the first
general snow of the year to western
Missouri, Eastern Kansas, Iowa and
Nebraska.

COLLEGE RING MEET
TO HAVE BIG ENTRY

UNIVERSITY, Va, February o.
With Clemson, Duke, Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina, Virginia, Tulane and
Virginia Polytechnic Institute definitely
entered in the Southern Conference
boxing tournament. to be held at the
University of Virginia on March / and
Q, and Virginia Military Institute likely
to send team, the meet this year gives
promise of being the greatest competi-
ton between college boxers in the en-
tire United States.
Boxing is comparatively new sport
in the Southern Conference. Virginia
and Washington and Lee introduced the
ring game in 1922 when they battleG
through two engagements. the Generals
taking one and the Cavaliers annexing
the other.
For a time the boxing teams OF the
South were forced to go North for COM
petition, but the number of Southern
ring squads has increased each year. At
the present there probably are more
teams of college boxers south of the
Mason and Dixon line than there are
to the north of it.
Seats for 1000 spectators will be
placed In the memorial gymnasium for
the tourney in anticipation of larger
crowd than the 5000 who saw the Navy
Virginia bouts here last week.
