basketball loailies in the countr;, and also Knows something about tiurk
nnd other sports A bettor man could not hao been selected and Cornell
will suffer through his absence.
Tho big tiling, however, will be tho effect ot fcharpes appointment on
tho plant, of the so-called "Big Three." The new director Is a broad-minded
man, and through his experlcnto at Cornell ho Knows tho feeling that exists
ill colleges outside the sloct circle. No doubt ho will try to readjust tho
Bystcm of athletics and break away from the old, inoss-coertd Idea that
high-class football cannot be plajcd outsldo of Yale, Princeton and Ifar.ird
Ho lias a big job on his hand", but Is big enough to put it through.
Philadelphia opclally aie interested in Doctor faharpe and hW new

tho Columbia varsity crew has received

named until after tho "committee on
athletics has had another meeting.

MANY REPORTING DAILY
lly EDWIN J. POLLOCK
FOR jeara intercollegiate boxlM?
matches wero looked upon as some
thing poislble, but highly improbable.
Boxing has arrived In the field of col
legiate sports, and by next season It le
very likely that a full schedule of con
tests between colleges will bo arranged.
The biggest boom ever handed the
sport at Penn occurred yesterday, when
the athletic council announced that
boxing hereafter would be recognised
aa one of the minor branches of ath
letics on a par with soccer, wrestling,
swimming and fencing .
Tals recognition, decided upon at tn
regular monthly meeting la .o es'frc
afternoon, means that an appropriation
will be set aside for the sport and better
equipment w HI be obtained. As It stands
now the few seta of gloves on hand are
working overtime. As boon as ono stu
dent Is through with them thejj so .to
another, and many pupils aro kept Idle,
on tho bench when they might be in ac
tlon It thero woro enough of tho padciei
mitts.
Decker's Ambition
Tho announcement by tho athletic,
council was the realization of an ambi
tion on the part ot George Decker, the.
box'ng instructor. For several ycarR
George has been nursing tho bopo thai
boxing would bo promoted to a minor
sport at Pcnn and intercollegiate boxlnr
allowed, but at the start of the rrescnt
academio car ho was 1 cglnnlng to be
lieve that tho boon would never come.
When the students returned from thn
service It became ovldent that there
would be a demand for tho sport. Manv
of them had learned tho ludhucntn or
the gamo In camps and they liked it.
There was a largo Increase In tho num
ber of men repotting to Decker for In
structions after tho second term started
More than fifty have signed up this j car
That boxing was on Its aj to recog-
nltion was pointed out by Captain Grlf
nth, fouuer athletic instructor at Camp
Pike, who has succeeded Doctor Itay
crcft on tho training c-a'inp activities
commission. In a speech before tho Na
tional Collegiatu Association in New
York last December Captain Griffith
stated that boxing bad been taught to
so many collego students while in camp
that It was more likely that they would
continue tho sport when they returned
to their institutions Such has been the
case.
