ACTION ON BOXING BILL IS POSTPONED TEMPORARILY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As a result of the undergraduate petition requesting the establishment of a University boxing team, the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports has referred the decision on this matter to W. J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics, and the three undergraduate members of the Committee.

Lawrence Conley has been named to succeed William Shevlin as, boxing instructor at the University. Conley was instructor of boxing at Harvard several years ago but resigned in order to manage professional pugilists. In the eventuality of a boxing team, Conley's extensive experience in the fistic world makes him well suited for the position of coach.

Director Bingham stated in regard to the possibility of a boxing team yesterday that a thorough study of the experience of Yale and other colleges with boxing as a minor sport would be made before his committee gave its decision.
