VIRGINIA CARRIES ON
RING DUEL WITH PENN
School That Had Place on First
Cavalier Boxing Schedule
Again to Be Met.

UNIVERSITY, Va, January 5.-Ten
years ago University of Virginia helped
introduce boxing into the South as an
intercollegiate sport. Today the Viz
GINA ring squad resumed preparations
to defend the Southern Conference
title won last Winter.
Pennsylvania is the only team on Ihe
1882 boxing schedule that has a place
on that first ring card of the Cavaliers
in 1922. The Quaker Scrappers won
that first encounter by a 4-to-2 score.
But they haven't been able to win
from Virginia since.
Penn has been on the Cavalier boxing
schedule more frequently than any
other team outside the Southern Confer
ence. Virginia enjoyed revenge in 1924
by taking 4-to-3 victory. The Cava-
hers won again in 1926, 1923, 1880 and
1881. Last year the score was to 2.
Virginia opens the season on January
Is against Duke in Durham. Trips are
also to be taken to meet Virginia Tech
and Penn. Three home engagements
scheduled are with V. M. J. on January
%, North Carolina on February and
Yale on February 90
For the sixth season the Southern
Conference championship tourney is to
be held in Memorial Gymnasium The
dates are Friday and Saturday, Febru-
airy 26 and 81.
Johnny La Rowe, who coached that
first Virginia boxing team 10 years ago,
and who has been in charge every sea-
son but one since then, is having to
push his charges In order to have them
ready to face the strong Blue Devil
combination within two weeks.
Several of the veterans, including
Capt. Fenton Gentery, conference light
heavyweight champion, and Douglas
Myers. middleweight champion. have
had little or no preliminary work with
the gloves. They have been giving their
time to foot ball. Herbert Bryant, Lewis
Reiss and Ed Rohrbough are other grid
iron lettermen out for the ring team

CLEVER OFFICIALS
TO HANDLEGAMES
Mitchell Brothers Likely to
Send Students Home
to Early Suppers.

EVERYTHING possible will be
- done to speed play of games
- in the public high school
basket ball championship
series, which opens Friday after
noon, at $3.50 o'clock, with Bust
ness meeting Tech and Central
engaging Western on the Tech
court.
1t is realized by the school au-
thorities that the present ar
rangement of playing two games
each Tuesday and Friday, starting
at $3.50 o'clock, is by no means a
perfect plan, but they have been
unable to evolve a better one.
Under the present plan those who
stay for the second game usually do
not get away until o'clock or later,
and by the time students get home
and have their suppers they haven't o
great deal of time left for study.
Consideration has been given by the
authorities to the idea of playing the
first half of each game first, with the
second halves following Immediately,
but this plan has met objection on the
ground that the players would get too
cold"
However, with the Mitchell brothers,
Joe and Orrell, again officiating, it is
certain play in the coming series will
be hustled as much as possible. Ger
tainly these officials kept things NOV
ing last season.
TONzAGA and Western, rivals for
~ years, will have it out on the
Western basket ball court tomor-
row afternoon at $3.50 o'clock in a game
promising to produce fine battling.
Western will be particularly hot after
victory to avenge the $40 foot ball de-
feat handed 1t by Gonzaga last Fall.
Business will engage George Wash
ington freshmen basketers in another
game tomorrow afternoon on the G. w.
court at $3.50 o'clock. The Colonial
yearlings walloped Business, IS to 81,

Certain facts seem to us incontrovertlbe. One is
that the death penalty is no deterrent OF muroer
where it is not promptly and certainly enforced. An
other is that Imprisonment does not reform criminals
nor the fear Of it brighten them Other methods OF
punishment, other means of preventing crime, must
be discovered and applied.
Let sotiologsts deal with the causes of crime,
The Influences that make criminals out OF boys But
let us all take practical comnon-sese view OF the
punishment for crime. At all costs let US back up our
Sa17-enforcement agencies, let clear the statute

speed p our criminal trials and place men on the
bench who viii show no mercy to those VINO deserve
none and then let us consider whether the old-fa-
shioned whipping post, the stocks and the pHory,
which held the convicted criminal up to public dis
grace and shame may not be effective deterrents
Of crime as the galows the electric chair or the pen
