of Christmas liquor.
A suave salesman, driving a
car with New York license
plates, canvassed the depart

for pure grain alcohol" at 500

worth in one department, and
to have been given the cash.
The alcohol has not been de-
livered and the salesman seems
to have been called away on
business or something.

NAVY UNPREJUDICED
QUITTING RING BODY

ANNAPOLIS. Md. September 5.-The
United States Naval Acade ny TO-DAY gave
its reason for resigning from the Eastern
intercollegiate Boxing League.
Lieut.. Comdr l.. D. Mccormick. aide
to Rear Admiral Thomas c. Hart. sup
erintendent of the Naval Acooemy'
made the announcement.
Their reason for resigning. given In
a printed statement. was as follows:
THAT. while the Naval Academy in
dorses dual team meets and recognizes
that there are benefits to be derived
from such meets. it does not believe
that the value derived from lndlVldual
cha rpionship contests. similar TO thoSe
conducted by the association, compen-
safes for the extension OF the training
season beyond the period regularly as
signed for boxing at the Naval Academy
or for the loss OF academic instruction
incurred by midshipmen who partlcl-
pate in the intercollegiate meets.
It was further stated by the admin
istrat:on authorities that the Naval
Academy had been considering such
action for some time but. in view OF
the fact that the Naval Academy had
been a charter member OF the assocl-
alton and had taken a leading part in
its original conception and organiza-
ton, final decision was deferred until
careful and comprehensive thought mad
been given the matter, and the reasons
for resigning had been closely tor1lu-
lated.
The academy authorities were par
ticularly anxious to avoid creating the
impression that they disapproved of
intercollegiate boxing in general and
they were apprehensive lest their with
drawal be considered, in some quarters
in this light. The resignation OF the
academy leaves Pennsylvania, Pennsyl-
vania State, Western Maryland, SYRIA
cuse and the Massachusetts Institute o!
Technology as the remaining members
OF the association.

less arduous by announcement that
