BOXING TEAM TO MEET TECHNOLOGY IN DEBUT

Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been chosen as a tentative opponent for the University's intercollegiate boxing debut in a match to be held March 26 in Hemenway gymnasium. Although boxing as yet is not recognized as an organized sport in the University, the activity of the athletic authorities in attempting to secure this match points to the future organization of the fistic art as a minor sport. If boxing does become a minor sport it is expected that the change will be effected on a basis similar to that used at Yale.

At present, Coach Conley, who has charge of the pugilistic candidates, does not have enough men to make the match with Tech advisable. For that reason all men interested in boxing, whether with or without experience, have been asked to report to Coach Conley in the boxing room at Hemenway gymnasium today and Friday at 5.30 o'clock. The amount of interest shown will be the deciding factor in the decision of the H. A. A.

The University Tournament will be held again this year in Hemenway gymnasium the week-end of April 2. Awards will be given by the H. A. A. to the champions of each weight although the exact nature of these awards has not yet been determined. Three men who won championships in last year's tournament will defend their crowns again this year. G. N. Burns '29, who won the welterweight title last year will box in the light weight class in this tournament. F. R. Sullivan '27, bantam weight champion, and R. E. Johnson '27, middle weight title holder, will defend their crowns.
