complicated on account OA VIC
uncertainty as to the classes
which will make up the regu-
gar association program,
Y though it now looks as IL the
heavyweight class will be re-
stored. ..
II Last year, the association de.
cided to drop the heavies and
j make up a program with the
weights at 115, 1875, 1875, 145, 100
1856. and ITS pounds. Ii Inc
heavyweight class is restored, IL
is not certain whether the other
seven classes will remain, or the
match program reduced to seven
Z in all, with weights as they were
formerly.
* AT any rate, the Naval Academy
a. welcoming heavyweights to us
: rnuad. and has three mighty line
ones in Chapple, runner-up at the
WEIGHT last year, Lloyd, the Navy 5
@II-around ace, and Tuttle, heavy
weight boxer for the pleoes las0
season and sub center on the
varsity eleven.
Chapple and Tuttle each weigh
A little over 1875 pounds, and Lloyd
exceeds 200 slightly, so the Navy
il rather certain to be well repre-
scented in this class.
For the classes around 1876 and
rvs pounds, the squad has Moret
Ecaptain) and Swan. highly sue
eesSful boxers last year, and
Mauro, q powerful football back,
with one or two others of promise.
Davis and Smith are the fight
nrs of most promise in the 1856
pound class, if that is retained,
while the 145-pound class looks
to be in good shape, with Hall, OF
last years team; Andrews, Holt
and AkStull. The latter was prob
ably the best of the unbeaten
plebe team of last season.
I There should be another
good class at the 1S5-pOund
weight, with williams, inter-
collegiate champion at the
weight two years ago; Wal
lace, another boxer with
match experience; De Metro
polls and Chew.
At 125 pounds, the squad has
Fitzgerald, intercollegiate cham
pion at the weight, and strong
runner-up in Long. Dempsey,
Frye, Burt and Cool, should in
\ sure a good representative at the
l15-pound class.
The Nays entry in the inter-
collegiates this year seems to de
! pend upon change in the man
ner Of conducting this event,
which will be considered at the
meeting of the association to be
held in New York on the 31st of
December.

But two nlidshipmen have made
the shift, which occurs quite fre-
uuently in professional ranks,
from boxing to wrestling or con-
trawise, and, by coincidence,
the family name Of both is Ed
wards, though they are unre-
lated.
Back in 1925. owing to an acct
dent to its heavyweight cham
pion, the Naval Academy was in
urgent need Of a big fellow to
represent it in that class in the
intercollegiate, and called upon
Hayward (Tex) Edwards, the best
wrestler the Naval Academy had
ever produced, to help out.
Edwards, who, as his nickname
implies, was from Texas, re-
sponded, and, though new at the
ring game, was runner-up for the
championship in the class in the
intercollegiate, besides winning
4 bout in a dual match.
Now, Jack Edwards, North
Carolinian, who has been boxing
for three years, has decided to
try out the mat sport, the
wrestlers being in great need Of a
