discernible, but you can see it and
feel it en- the campus. And it is
adding to the coaches hardships.
They not only have to instruct their
candidates, but they've got to find
'em first and it's not easy.
La Fond had good reason for
stopping the Charley Cox Charley
Riehl bout on the C. U.-Columbus
card last Saturday night. Cox,
Columbus veteran puncher, had a
clear-cut margin over the Cardinal
in the first round and it promised to
develop into carnage if permitted
to continue. Riehl got a nasty eye
cut out of the Maryland bouts and
it became infected. He hopes to
enter the Naval Academy in June
and has met successfully al the rigid
requirements so La Fond saw no
reason for jeopardizing his chances
by letting an opponent take punches
at his eyes that could have had
serious consequences.
If that exhibition Huck Hughes
staged with Romero Cara was his
last college fight his dad saw him
just in time. The elder Hughes made
the trip from Annapolis to see his
son in the ring the first time and
Huck did himself proud even though
he and Romeo were only punching
for fun-we think.
Travis Apparently Has Record.
Ernie Travis of Maryland has
a half-Nelson on the metropolitan
collegiate basket ball scoring record.
The loose-jointed Terp center
prodded his mark to 263 by picking
up seven points against West Vir-
gina, surprising the old record Of
260 hung up by Catholic University S
Hermie Schmarr five years ago.
Travis, however, hit the skids last
week, falling OF from II points
against Navy on Wednesday to 10
against William and Mary and then
tobogganing into the basement in
the West Virginia game.
Matt Zunic, meanwhile, not only
held his pace, but improved it by
whipping in 20 points against
Furman and 10 against Richmond
The sum total added up to an i'm
provement in his general average
slightly under IS points q game.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Feb. 16-
Yale University has announced that,
beginning March 30, 1t will adopt
a program of compulsory physical
training, including instruction in
jujitSu, which President Charles
Seymour emphasized would supple
ment, rather than supplant, the ex-
listing intercollegiate and intramural
sports schedules.
The plan. designed to equip every
student physically for service in the
armed forces, will emphasize bodily
contact exercises such as boxing and
wrestling and will lay especial stress
on jujitsu, President Seymour said.
He added that jujitsu, which he de-
scribed as the most effective method
of unarmed hand-to-hand fighting,
had been taught at Yale for 10
years.
The plan is almost identical to
one adopted by Harvard and other
leading colleges and universities.
Simultaneously, President Sey-
mour reported that SO per cent of
Yale's approximately 5000 under
graduates have elected the year.

ate for the duration. and which,

tions, for with a season i'm which
waterfowl were as plentiful as in

Down Richmond way there is a

Federal wardens are few, and
there isn't enough money available
to hire additional men.
Raised Stamp Cost Suggested.
The question repeatedly has been
raised: Would not the money re-
ceived from the sale of duck stamps
accomplish more If put out into
warden's wages rather than sane
tuaries? We believe it would send
q greater nuptial flight North each
spring, but consider we are wrong
in this assumption, that the mil
lion-odd dollars is needed to estab-
lish winter feeding grounds and
raise the price of the stamp to two
bucks. There would be little COM
plant from sportsmen if they were
sure it would mean better shooting.
There should be more protection
against the illegal kill. And unless
restrictions are eaSed a greater
number of wardens will be needed
to keep sportsmen in line. The in
crease in batting last year was ample
evidence.

Charley Cox, for example, is toiling

drubbing the boys from the Bay
