With Pete Ward unable to box for the rest of the season because of his appendix, and with Walter Crampton, also a 135-pounder, out with a wrenched ankle, the lineup for the Army meet on Saturday will receive a considerable shift. Ward's loss comes as a major setback, especially since the two hardest contests of the season come within the next two weeks. Rated as the classiest intercollegiate boxer in this section, he has lost just one collegiate bout in three years of competition, that to Louis Wertheimer of Syracuse, the intercollegiate champion...
...Freshmen, coached by Tom Curtin, former Varsity 115-pounder, are expected to show favorably against New Hampshire, having defeated M.I.T. 5-3 earlier in the season...
...Springfield's strongest boxers is co-captain McCluskey, the 155-pounder who will meet Pete Olney in what promises to be one of the feature bouts. McCluskey lost only one decision last year, that to Phil Hines of Harvard, while Olney won his M.I.T. match by a knockout and lost a close decision at Virginia to McClung, the Southern Intercollegiate champion...
...fact the only man who seems fairly certain of a permanent berth on the "A" team firing line is Henry Adlis. Adlis is one of the brighter prospects from Cliff Gallagher's 1933 Freshman outfit and is the only 200-pounder on the team despite his 17 years.

Last fortnight, Mr. Howell caught a 792-lb. tuna after a 62-hr. fight. Not because he is 5 ft. 4 in. and weighs 130 lb., but because he discovered that in England last year L. Mitchell Henry landed an 850-lb. tuna, the feat made him feel "rather small." Last week, the first fish Mr. Howell caught weighed 830 lb. Disappointed, he set out again, felt a strike almost immediately, landed his record tuna...
