Opening of the indoor sports season at the Indoor Athletic Building has been scheduled for today, according to Director N. W. Fradd. Freshmen, in particular, have this opportunity to change their required exercise from tennis, soccer, lacrosse and other outdoor sports, to boxing, fencing, swimming, calisthenics, basketball, or westling.
Lawrence T. Conley who is now trainer for the Freshman football squad, will instruct the University's first boxing team. He is assisted by Joe Reardon who is conducting classes at 2, 3, 4, and 4.45 o'clock. At present these classes are open to beginners who wish to acquaint themselves with the fundamentals of the game. Touch and shadow boxing will prepare the men for more strenuous battling later.
W. B. Nelson '31, who has given student instruction in the past at Tufts College and the Young Mens Christian Union, is conducting a 4 o'clock class on parallel bars, the horse and other heavy apparatus. For undergraduates who like music with their exercise, there is a 5 o'clock class in free arm drills which is conducted to the rhythm of popular selections.
Coach C. T. Gallagher is expecting to see a big turn-out for wrestling as both Freshman and University schedules have a number of matches away. Teams which will be hosts to Harvard are West Point, Brown, M. I. T., and Yale. Harvard's first swimming team in many years is being coached by H. S. Ulen. Fencing, which proved a popular sport last winter, is under the charge of Coach Rene Peroy.
