AT A Common Expression in Town anil on Campus WE BUY SOME DISCONTINUED TEXTS ALSO Between the Lions This last year in intercollegiate boxing has seen many changes th the conduct of the fights, notably, barring of amateurs from competition, adopt ing a heavier glove, and at the same time eliminating hand bandages. Since then, has come A 1 Topman's idea-for more social contact between the fight ers of both teams so that a spirit of true sportsmanship can be built be tween competitors. Another change which would prove benefieiuj to the sport would be the raising of the 115 pound limit to 118 pounds so that the smaller boxers would not have to “train down” to an almost-impossible weight. Statistics gathered by several agencies tyive shown that the average college student of today is heavier and taller than even those of 15 years ago when the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Association was formed. It is an unfair demand to make upon the lighter boys to go on a “bread and water” diet in order to make this weight. Penn State students know of at least two cases where such action was necessary. Former Captain Russ Cris well was always-fighting the increases in weight which came about by nor mal diet during the season. Last week, Alex Sopehak was unable to fight because.he, too, could not or would not make weight even on a limited amount of food. The United States Naval Academy has taken cognizance of this matter and refuses to allow their lighter boys to go below 318 pounds, which seems the most sensible thing to do.
