Wirsing To Play,
In Second Match
Harold Wirsing, youthful pocket-
billiard protege of Flint, will give one
more exhibition in Ann Arbor before
leaving for his Eastern tour.
Tomorrow night he will play a
match against some Ann Arbor bill-
iardist at 8 o'clock in the billiard
room of the Union. Wirsing inhis
mhatch last night at the Union made
such a good impresion upon the audi-
ence that he was urged to stay one
more day and display his skill.
Because he finds that his work at
Dartmouth interferes too seriously
with his business connections Jesse
Hawley, Green football coach may
have to sever all gridiron relations
with the Hanover school. Hawley in
his first year at Dartmouth turned'out

resented the Green.

Interest in boxing has grown to such
an extent among the students of the
University that "Ted" Sullivan, box-
ing mentor, is kept busy every day in
the boxing room, teaching beginners
the fundamentals of the spo-t.
More and more students are taking
advantage of "Sullie's" course in the
manly art an devery afternoon sees
the ring teeming with pugIlistic ac.

vate instruction and the other being a
class of group instruction. At these
classes students are given the oppor-
tunity oil learning and applying in ac-
tual practice the fundamentals and
fine points of self-defense. Speed is
the main essential for a good boxer
and that branch of the sport, combin-
ed with proper use of the hands re-
ceives most of the attention.
As last year Sullivan is to have
t charge of a boxing show that will run
sometime in March under the auspices
of the Int'ramuraldepartment. Num-
eral sweaters are to be awarded to
those men who show more than usual
ability and with this fact In view many
men are already training for their
matches. Last year the show was

Intercollegiate regulations prohibit

decried by Sullivan who feels certain
