Covers Territory

Of the many boxing bills in
troduced in Congress in the
past decade to sanction the
sport in the District Of Colum-
bia, that introduced this week
by Loring Black, the Brooklyn
IN. W Democrat, is the most
complete. It embraces every
phase and ramification of the
game, fixing certain cardinal
legislation to clean boxing, and
leaving the drawing-up of rou-
tine regulations to an athletic
commission composed of three
residents of the District to be
appointed by none less than
the President of the United
States.
One hardly dare hope for
the passing of such legislation,
however, in view of the pigeon
holes on Capitol Hill already
stuffed with moth-eaten pro-
poSalS of a similar nature,
doomed to become scar and
yellow.
Opposition is sure to come
from the Maryland delegation
in both branches of Congress,
If for no other reason than

seats of which must be kept
filled, and by boxing fans, if

There is one performer Mike
plans paying particular attention
to when the regulars report.
It is Carl Reynolds, the big out
fielder secured from the Chicago
White Sox during the winter in
a trade which also brought Sec
ond Baseman Johnny Kerr here
in exchange for Pitchers Bump
Hadley and Sam Jones, and Sec
ond BaSeman Jackie Hayes.
Plenty of Work
Both Mike and Reynolds have
much work cut out for them. Tt
will be Mixes duty to see that
Reynolds is made fit. while it
will be Reynolds duty to follow
Mixes instructions implicitly.
Reynolds was just $3.50 player
for the White Sox last year. An
ailing knee, which kept him in
active for the greater part of the
campaign, was much to blame
for this.
Mike is to see that Reynolds
knee will not bother him this
season.
Reynolds wired Griff that he
expects to report tomorrow, which
indicates that he wants to get
an early start in his training.
Easy At First
Only the lightest sorS of work
is to be directed Reynolds way
for the first few days. After that
his training will be speeded until
it has reached the peak best
adapted for him.

The first class condition of
Reynolds will mean a great deal
to the Griffmen this year, for
they need that powerful bat
which hits all kinds of pitching.
Reynolds is going to enjoy a
good season if Mike has anything
to do with it. # you don'S be-

Playing it's worse game of the
season, the Maryland University
basketers went to a stunning
39-24 defeat at the hands of
Florida in the opening game of
the Southern Conference cham
pionships in Atlanta, ia. The
defeat was more bitter because
Maryland was defending the
championship won last year and
was doped to reach at least the
semifinalS this season.
Furthermore, Florida was con-
sidered an outsider and, though
expected to give Maryland strong
opposition, was not figured to
subdue the Old Liners by the
overwhelming margin of IS points.
The first half was close and in
teresting, with the score dead
locked, 14-14, but the Old Liners
suffered the loss of Bozie Berger
and Eddie Ronkin in the second
half on personal fouls. Their de.
partureS reduced the power in the
Maryland team. At one time in
the second half, Maryland led by
a % to 10 score.
Maryland was not alone of the
favorites to take it on the chin.
Virginia upset Alabama, 20-16.

UNIVERSITY, Va, Feb. 81
AS alumni of the University of
Virginia gathered here today
from II alumni chapters to dis
cuss athletic policy for Virginia,
five Cavalier boxers were ready
for contests in the semifinals of
the annual Southern conference
boxing tournament this after
noon.
Two of the five Cavaliers are
defending champions, Goldstein,
faatherWeight, and Myers, mid
dleweight. Both were topheavy
favoriteS to win their semi-final
encounters, Goldstein to defeat
Jones, of Mississippi A and M,
and Myers to whip May, Louis
lana State.
Gentry, light he eavyweig h t
champion last year, is competing
in the heavyweight class this
year and meets Stark, of v. P. L.;
who already holds a decision this
season over Gentry.
Fishburne Has Chance
Fishburne, son of member of
Congress, meets Watts, of South
Carolina, in the welterweight di-
vision. Fishburne, hard hitter,
is accorded an outside chance to
reach the final.
Reiss, Cavalier football center,
has an even chance of winning
over Davis, of Florida. The latter
is great Mary Ann puncher, and
last night slipped over his favorite
blow on Bolish, of Duke, after the
latter had gained a wide margin
over Davis for two and a half
rounds.
Of the % men in the semi
finals this afternoon Virginia had
five; Tulane, North Carolina and
Mississippi three each; Washing
ton and Lee, Louisiana State,
Duke, Florida, South Carolina,
two each; Georgia, Georgia Tech,
North Carolina State and v. P. /,
one each.
Hill Is Favored
Hill, southpaw heavyweight
from Tulane, was again favored
to retain his championship after
his Knockout last night of Hill
lard, of Virginia Military Insti-
tute. Five knock-outs were reg
istered in last nights fighting.
The sensational K o coming
in the Davis-Bolich battle. The
blonde Duke mittster was far
ahead OF the Floridan when the
latter cut loose with his Mary
Ann right-hand to put the Duke
youngster down for the count.
The decision which put Reiss,
of Virginia, in the Semi-final to-
day, was not well received by the
crowd of $500. The football rtar
was boxing Norton, Louisiana
State. The State boxer was very
clever and seemed to have a de-
cided edge over Reiss. The
referee and two judges however,
gave ReiSs the decision counting
his aggressiveness as the deciding
factor.
Tonight's finals are expected
to attract more than 1000 per-
sons.

SPEED STARS
To VIE: IN
DASHES

The leading field and track
athletes of this section will
gather tonight in the C. U. gym
for the third annual Catholic Uni
versity indoor games. A record
crowd is the prospect. The first
event will be called promptly at
1880 o'clock and a record crowd
is the prospect.
A new record for entries, 525
in all, has been established and
there is indication that some of
the meet records will go by the
boards.
AlI-ArOund Quality
The meet lacks a performer of
national repute but this is off
set by the all-around quality of
many other contestants. It is
rare indeed whenever the entire
team of the Naval Academy is
entered in any sports contest in
this city.
1t is in the 50-yard sprint Sc
ries where most of the thrills are
expected. These dasheS offer
such speedsters as Lyons, of
Catholic u; Quinn of Maryland /;
McChesney, unattached; Abram-
son, Virginia; Waybright, Navy,
and Smithers and Shaw of Will
liam and Mary.
BuIlard Is Star
Platt Bullard, OF the John
Marshall High, Richmond, Va, is
figured as a sure winner in the
interscholastic quarter-mile and
half-mile. He is reported to be
the class of Schoolboys in this
vicinity in the 440 and $50 yards
and placed second in the ma
tional interScholaStic half mile in
Chicago last year.
Baker, of Villanova, appears a
lock for the mile but may have
stout opposition from Gibson and
GriffithS, of Navy, and Rem and
