According to Walter Young, A. U.

ments are being completed for a game
between q team representing the Club
Russo de Paris and the Eagles. 1t Is
planned to play the contest in one of
the downtown gymnasiums, as it is
believed it would draw heavily.
The foreign team, made up of Rus
sian students studying in Paris, now is
touring Europe and has won almost
every game it has played so far. accord
ing to reports. 1t hopes to gain the title
of champion of Europe. Next season it
plans an American tour. during which
it will meet 80 college teams Of the East
in December and January. American
U. has been picked as its Washington
opponent.
IF the Eagles meet the Russians, they
surely will have to be on their toes" ="
says NJ Frank Liotard, French instruc-
tor at A. u, who played against the
Russian team in Paris in December
1929. He was playing as guard on
the Racing Club of Paris team, and
remembers the game as an interesting
one. in which the Russians won, 30-l8.
The Russians really have the stuff, -
according to the French teacher. He
said basket ball as played in Europe is
very similar to the American game, the
greatest difference being that no pivot
ing is allowed and the ball must not
touch the players body. He says this
makes the European game much faster.

the future the quality Of the con-
tests will be very much improved,
for the reason that the promoters
realize that the general public Is
very much more alive to what con-
stitutes a good boxing contest and
the promoter will insist even more
strongly than in the past that the
boxers render their best services or
no employment.
Boxing commissions all over the
country should at once put their
foot down firmly on managers and
promoters who endeavor to stage
"junior championship" contests.
These Junior championships" have
no standing whatever in professional
boxing. Certainly the public has
suffered enough from the exploiters
in the boxing game in the past,
and it is high time stand against
these contests was taken and that
they be entirely eliminated.

its boxing division, to take some
stand on just how long a boy, may
compete in the amateur ranks. Boys
who go in for amateur boxing de-
velop very fast these days, having
the advantage of well equipped gym
nasiums and competent instructors,
and they become most proficient in a
very short period Of time.
The interscholastic leagues in most
States have an age limit. The inter-
collegiate association has a three
year period during which an athlete
may play on varsity teams. Why
not some such ruling governing
amateur boxing?
It is my contention that when a
boy has boxed three years with the
amateurs he should either quit the
game or turn professional. The real
objective Of amateur boxing is not
to develop professional prize fighters.
but rather to fit the boys for the
real battle Of life which lies before
them, instilling In them the idea OF
honest contest and fair play.

r.HE popularity Of certain sports in

certain sections is rather worthy
of more than ordinary comment:
In one section it seems that foot ball
is the only sport, in another 1t Is pasket
ball. another boxing and so on.
Recently Penn State man said that
boxing had come to be the most popular
sport in that college and that it WED
with foot ball for top place The same
is true at Virginia. Out in Indiana 1t
Is said that basket ball is the great
sport and that nothing surpaSSes It
in interest. In the Far West it seems
to be track athletics that stands up with
foot ball. while in the Far South boxing
is the next thing to the gridiron. up
North ice hockey commands great IN
terest. and in Maryland lacrosse takes
the big place in the Spring, but no
where else seems to amount to much.
What it is that determines this dill
is not known. 1t probably is the same
reason, unknown. that might be given
for Akron being the great rubber making
center. or Detroit the automobile manu-
featuring center, instead of Atlanta and
Denver holding the Top place in these
lines
-HE rumor still persists that Tom
Hamilton, former Navy fullbacE,
viii be the power DS0IlO Ille
throne in Navy foot ball next season.
This does not mean that Rip Miller Is
to be displaced. but that Navy is re-
turning more to the system it once
had. that of having field coach. but
having a Navy man as the actual head
coach This is the system that pre-
vailed at Navy at the time the regime
that comes into control of Navy ath-
letics next Spring were Navy athletes.
And it must be admitted that some of
Nays most successful years in athletics
took place under that kind of a system
Incidentally, Tom Hamilton is an ex-
eeptionally good coach. Another coach
once said to the writer. That chap
Hamilton is the toughest coach I've
ever tried to beat" and that coach had
coached at Dartmouth, Lehigh and
other colleges. Incidentally. that same
coach remarked at that time, Il don't
see why the Navy doesn't get him back
there, as 1t would be impossible to find
ANYBODY better for that job"
So If the Navy does contemplate
making Hamilton the power behind its
foot ball throne, there is at least one
coach who will agree that the right
step is being taken.
