Webb bb Compiles Remarkable Record as Coach of Naval Academy’s Boxing Teams TENNIS BODY CUTS || STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE LOSES ONE MEET IN TWELVE YEARS Spike Names Henderson as Best Ringman Turned Out at Annapolis. BY H. C. BYRD. O other coaching record in N the world, certainly not in the colleges and universi- ties of America, quite equals that of Spike Webb, boxing coach at the Naval Academy. One defeat in 12 years of competition not only seems improbable, but almost impossible, yet that is Webb’s accomplishment. In that time, Navy boxing teams have taken part in 75 mects, and in that number to meet defeat only once, and that only nine days ago, is a testimonial that needs little am- plifying to indicate the kind of ability necessary for such an| achievement. Navy's boxing teams have won a|seven place for themselves that it is doubt- ful any other university team in the country has attained in any sports.|day ‘Wherever intercollegiate boxing s carried on Navy's record for years has been a source of wonderment.
