PLAN INTERCOLLEGIATE BOXING

Boxing as an intercollegiate sport is rapidly gaining support at a number of colleges and universities in all parts of the country, and championship tourneys under revised ring rules are not at all unlikely within the next few years. Bouts between picked teams representing Oxford and Cambridge Universities have been part of the annual English sport schedule for many years.

In the East the University of Pennsylvania is the most ardent supporter of the proposition which has recently received the approval of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Dartmouth and other colleges in New England have engaged boxing coaches and plan intramural tournaments with the probability of broader activity within a year or two, while in the Middle West the "Little Conference" has agreed to adopt boxing as a major sport.
