BOXING.
BOXING AT COLLEGES SUPERVISION OF POLICE. "I think I may be better trusted to see that my boys are fit before boxing matches than a policeman who has been in the place only five minutes,” said rhe Rev. E. C. Crosse, headmaster of Christ’s College, at the annual meeting of the Old Boys' Association. "It might seem Incredible, but every time we want to hold a boxing tournament in the college the police, who are probably only carrying out their duty, have to -be present. At a tournament held in another city school last year they were there in uniform.” He had consulted the inspector of police, who told him that as the law stood it was necessary for the police to see that boxing contestants were fit before they entered the ring. "All I can say is that the position is gratuitous and wrong,” said Mr. Crosse.
