The Licutenant-Commander pointed out that the rules, patterned after- the War Camps Activities Rules, would remain untouched. Three two-minute rounds, with the referee endowed with power to order another round, will still govern all intercollegiate bout A suggestion was made by Major Serles of West Point to change the rule now in force which allows a boxer one minute to recuperate after he has been floored by an opponent. The West Point official suggested that ‘& boxer, upon being sent to his corner, be considered stopped by bis adve: isary and not entiti to « minute’ respite to recover and then continu Lieut.-Com. Richardson opposed Ma- ries's view on this point and held that the rule be allowed to stand as it is and revised at a later meeting of the Rules Committee, Major Serles also advocated a change in the system of adjudging bouts. Instead of a referee and two Judges he advised that the referee be Vested with the supreme power to render a decision and stop bouts as he sees fit. This also referred to a } later Rules Committee meeting.

Many of basketball's advocates are considering the proposition of a league at the present time and recent reports indicate that the realization of thet: hopes and plans will be made next seagon. Manager Dannenfelser of the Stari- ing Grey Big Five attributes the d feat of his combination last to the fact that two of the men in the line-up did not play. The old adage that a chain is as weak its weakest link seems to be borne out by the record of the Starling Greys. In every one of the games which they lost throughout the past two seasons, one or more of the reg- ular men have been out of the line-up.
