BOXING CHAMPIONS TO DEFEND TITLES AT HEMENWAY AT 8

At 8 o'clock tonight the fight for the boxing championships of the University will begin in the University Boxing Tournament at Hemenway gymnasium. The entries have been paired off and several close contests are promised. The referee and judges for the tournament were assigned yesterday by the state boxing commission. Larry Conley, instructor of boxing at the University will be the third man in the ring. The judges will be G. Edward Dixon of Cambridge and F. H. Lincoln of Denham. Fred Wood will act as timer with Dan Kelly of the Physical Training Department as announcer.

The bouts this year are expected to be exceptionally keenly contested, for three of the holders of last year's championships will attempt to retain their titles. E. D. Weatherhead '22, holder of last year's 160-pound title, will enter both the 160 and 175-pound classes. J. O. Stubbs '21, holder of last year's 135-pound title, will attempt to retain it. H. J. Freedman '23, who gained last year's title in the 125-pound class, will be hard put to hold it. The other material consists of last year's runners-up and the new men among whom Isador Shapiro '23, T. Strong Jr., F. R. McLeod 2G., E. W. Love '22, B. Lockwood '22 and S. J. Rosenblum Unc., have had some experience and are promising good hard work for the winners.
