Peter Coy's Boxing at Virginia
Packs Punch His Daddy, Ted,
Flashed on Grid for Yale

A three-letter synonym for dyna-
mite appears in the boxing lineup
Virginia will send against Maryland
in their dual meet Saturday night at
College Park. A three-letter word
which thrilled the sports world three
decades ago and which promises to
continue churning its irrepressible
way through sports annals.
The name is Coy-Peter Coy. You
haven't heard much about him
yet-but you will. He's considered
one of the most promising ringmen
ever to pull on q glove under old
Johnny La Rowe's direction and he
has the old Coy CLINT in his eye, the
old Gov spirit, the old Coy punch.
He's chip OIL the old block, and the
grain Is deep and clear.
The old block was Yale's immortal
Ted Coy, one of footballs all-time
greats. Walter Camp called him the
greatest fullback he ever saw and
there were few dissenting opinions.
He was the greatest back produced
during the days when the Big Three
Yale, Harvard and Princeton-was
the big three of the gridiron in fact
as well as name.
Coy won his spurs early in his
sophomore year, defeating Princeton
virtually single-handedly. tearing
Harvard's burly line to tatters and
otherwise distinguishing himself
throughout the campaign. Again
the following season, 1908, Coy was
the big gun that strafed and raked
Princeton as his line-shattering
plunges enabled the Ellis to exc out
an 11-6 victory over the Tigers.
Harvard. however, defeated Yale on
field goal
Coy captained the team in his
senior year and led it through an
undefeated season. He atoned for
Harvard's victory Of the previous
autumn by booting two field goals
to blank the Crimson, 80 (field
goals then counting 4 points,, and
led Yale to a ITO slaughter over
Princeton. This was the year Chi
cago's Walter Eckersall, another
football great, singled out Gov as
the most brilliant player he ever
saw.
A 6-foot 1-inch specimen Of speed
and Drawn, Coy could do everything
and anything on football field. He
scaled 195 pounds, but when he hit

hearts Of sportsmen.
Peter Coy also stands 6 feet tall.
but scales only 135 pounds. He
doesn't play football, but his punches
snap like an electric button and he
has the grace, rhythm and un-
quenchable spirit of his illustrious
dad. They call him the star of the
team and tab him as a candidate for
Virginia's hall of fame.
Young Coy's mother was a Geor-
gian and he spent much of his early
life in Savannah. He lives on a
plantation on the Santee River. in
South Carolina. His first experience
in boxing was obtained at st. Marks

 FEUD IN SESSION: :. WEATHER WINNING
Rain Last Week Makes EIks
 SkeptiedI About To- morroW's Game

An apparent Elks vs Weather feud has been going on for the last week, and indications are that the weather is winning. Both games scheduled for the team have been rained out and even the weather-beaten Elks are becoming skeptical about their luck, not their luck against opposing teams, for they feel confident enough in that respect, but the weather has them worried.
 But optimists in the Gastineau Channel League squint at the cky and say that it won't rain tomorrow. Fans hope that they are right, but notice that the prophets have their tongues in their cheeks
 The Elks and Douglas are booked to meet tomorrow at 6 o'clock at the Firemen's Ball Park where the Elks will play their second game of the season.
 Definite information on the games postponement may be obtained by telephoning the Elks club after 4:30 tomorrow. Latest reports telling whether or not the game will be played will be given then.
