Army brings one of its strongest teams in years, while the Harvard grapplers have been defeated only once this season, by Lehigh. Much interest is centered in the 145-pound bout scheduled between Captain Pat Johnson '33, who has been overcome but once during his undergraduate career at Harvard, and Thompson, a powerful Senior Cadet. The heavyweight bout brings together Gridley Barrows '34 and Miller of West Point, who were tackles on their respective football squads last year...
...January 13, the Harvard team defeated M.I.T. by the score of 6-1. Great possibilities were seen then by ringsiders despite the comparatively easy competition offered by an inexperienced Tech team. In this bout there were five knock-outs of the seven bouts fought...
Because of the Springfield entrance requirements there will be no bout in the 115 pound class. Coach Lamar's probable lineup will be as follows: M. A. Lamb '34, 125 pound class; E. M.

Seaman Tom's reward: a fight against Cuban Kid Chocolate (who was last week being refused entry into the U. S. by immigration authorities), for the featherweight championship...
...further to complicate the situation which currently exists among U. S. heavyweight pugilists. It might have helped clear things up except for the fact that one of Schaaf's two managers is Champion Jack Sharkey and the other is Champion Sharkey's manager, fat Johnny Buckley. Next bout on the Schaaf program would properly be against huge Primo Camera with the winner to meet Sharkey for the title. This prospect seemed drab because 1) Sharkey has already beaten Camera, 2) it would seem improper for Schaaf to fight his own comanager. As a preliminary step toward straightening...
