The New England boxing championship tournament will be held under the auspices of the Boston Athletic Association at Mechanics Building on March 20. There will be 8 events in all: bantam-weight (108 lbs.), feather-weights (118 lbs.), special-weight (128 lbs.), light-weight (135 lbs.), welter-weight (145 lbs.), middle-weight (158 lbs.), light heavy-weight (175 lbs.), and heavy-weight (over 175 lbs.).
With the renewed interest in boxing in the University, the B. A. A. hopes to be able to secure some Harvard entries. Anyone registered in the Amateur Athletic Union is eligible to compete. Solid gold and silver medals will be given to the winners. The entrance fee is 50 cents and entries will close on March 15. Registrations should be sent to J. F. Facey, 36 Prospect street, Cambridge.
Entrance blanks and applications for tickets may be obtained at the H. A. A. If enough are received, there will be a specially reserved Harvard section.
