Feld man '24 All of these men showed up exceptionally well under Coach Harlow last year and each of them should im prove greatly this season after they get a little more experience "Dick” Harlow* is losing no time in getting on early start as he has already issued a call for Freshman and Sopho more candidates A great number ol the members of theso classes have elected boxing as their fall and w Intel sport in placo of gym drill and they will immediate!} start training under the instruction of a number of mem bers of last year s varsity squJd Bordner, Chapin, Atnarisb and^Clark will direct the yearlings and second year men and Coach Harlow* will aid them in their work from time to time until the football season ic ovei, when he will take complete charge of the fistic sport.

Tiro Sunsou’s Schedule The season will open this year on Saturday, January twenty-eighth with a honre meet jit which either Spring field College or Queens College, of Canada will appear as the opponent.

It is hoped that the latter team will be able to appear hero at the time of the Washington's Birthday holiday period To Meet the Army In addition to the meet with the Carnegie Tech boxers and that with the Navy at Anapolis, the Nittany fighters will take part in an additional meet away from homo when they en counter the Army representatives at West Point Tho Aimy, like the Navy makes a specialty of boxing und is always represented by an exceptional ly strong team in that sport This y eai tho Army should have a team that will compare well with that of r the Navy and a closq meet Is looked for at West Point.
