HARVARD STOPS
 BOXING SQUAD
Sport Will Be Continued Only as Intra=Mural
 Competition

Cambridge, Mass, December 16- (UP) - The committee on regula- ton of athletic sports at Harvard late yesterday voted to discontinue intercollegiate boxing at the uni- versity after this year.
 Beginning with the 1S37-38 college year, the sport will be conducted on an intramural basis, with intra- mural championships replacing university championships.
 No reason was given for the ac- tion. It was believed, however, that the move was instigated by the dis pute growing out of the tie with Yale at New Haven last March. Harvard adherents claimed that un- der the intercollegiate system of point scoring Harvard should have been awarded the meet. They main- tained that a different scoring sys- tenn was employed in the Yale meet.
 A victory would have given liar yard its first intercollegiate boxing championship since the sport was adopted on a trial basis in 1881.
 The athletic associations an- nouncement said that Henry Lamar would continue as boxing coach, a position he has held since 1882.

 LOSE TO FLA MEN

The Franco-American Social clubs's Junior Five were defeated for the first tirle this season at the clubs alley slast night by the first team of the mems league. The first teams start was not very prom isn 7, losing the first string by 51 pins. The Juniors usual good start gave every indication of another easy victors but the first team made a big gain in the second string while the Juniors suffered an even greater loss and tse same reversed process followed in the last string.
 Jules BourasSa and George Berube made an unusually poor start but both improved in the second string. Berubes two consecutive marks in the last boxes gave him 107 and he followed with 122 in the last string. This with Joseph Harpin's high of 129 decide dthe issue for the eve- ming.
 The clubs junior five have con- sistently won victories with large margins to spare since the bowling season opened, at tn eclub and else where. Ben Lachance and Claude Cyr failed to come up to their usual average last night. Cyr was decidedly off his regular bowling. He pinned only 102 in the first wto strings and came down to 90 in the last. The clubs junior five is made up of Ben Lachance. Claude Cyr, Joseph Bouffard, Dan Manseau and Mike Gagnon. Those bowling for the first team were Edward Berube, Edward Daly, Joseph Harpin, Jules Bourassa and George Berube.

World Feather Champion Four Years Ago" -"Still
 Has My Mind, " He Says
BY JACK AMMAN United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)
 Hartford, Conn, Dec. 16-(UP)- Wanted: A job, "very bad".
 Those five words today summed up the condition of Christopher Bat" Battalino, who reigned as featherweight boxing champion of the world from 1929 to 1892, finds himself in.
 I'm practically busted" he con- fided with a wry smile. "What little dough got is going out pretty quick. gotta get a job very bad. I gotta lot of friends-but I got pride, too. I'm not gonna ask them."
 Bat" said he has renounced the ring entirely after two comeback attempts failed miserably. I'm get ting old" he said sadly. 'I'm no good any more" He said he was 29.
 "Jeez," the little Italians voice begged. "I'll take any kind of a job. I got a wife and two kids"
 Kaplan, Too
 And listening to Battalino's story brought to ones mind the strange games that fate plays, because within hte borders of this same city of Hartford is Louis "Kid" Kaplan, former worlds featherweight cham pion, and he also is about down and out.
 The East Side Italian boy who made good in the big time told how good he was in his hey-day, when he licked Andre RoutiS for the title in 1929, and how he defeated five challengers in 8 row. T couldn't keey the weight" he said. T re- tired undefeated."
 Bat" said he worked in the postoffice for couple of months, until few days ago. There was lot of jealousy there," he said, "so I left. It didn't pay very much anyways"
 II don't think I'll ever fight any more," he continued in a voice which held a trace of an accent. Look! My face is all busted up, but I still got my mind. Yes sir, I've lead a good, clean life, and still got my mind. Why, I can remember way back 22-23 years ago! Some guys can't do that!"
 Loan Unpaid
 "Yeah," he said in answer to a question, eff had chance to live over again, I woulda done differ ent. Sure! You know, in 1880 I loaned a lotta guys about $30,000. Boy, if I had that dough now! All I got is security. What can do? Those guys are broke, too.
 T got a nice houes out in West Hartford, and I got it clear, too. l paid altogether about $50,000, but it costs a lotta dough just the same. Those taxes!
 And I got some dough locked up in securities and annuities. But I can't get it. I have to go through lotta red tape. And besides, l want my kids to get good educa- tion with that dough when I get it.
 You said it, kid. It's tough all right. I tried to get job as state game warden, but 1t didn't come out. like to hunt and fish. I went out hunting today. But I gotta get me job. I can't keep going much longer"
 And with that, the Front street boy who was Hartford's first citizen for three short years, turned away.
 "So long," he said.
