Conley expects to build his team of eight or ten men around four champions and runners-up of last year's University boxing tournament, Adam Palaza '31, featherweight; J. J.

The men are evenly divided by weight into all classes except the bantam and heavy...

He stepped back to get his bearings, then launched...
...pound football team will meet Yale on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock in a game which the 150-pound rule will be rigidly enforced for the first time this season. At present, Harvard and Yale are the only two colleges in which every man on the lightweight team weighs no more than 150 pounds. Each group, for practice games has had to play outside preparatory school teams whose men in many cases have exceeded the weight limit of 150 pounds...
