"While no one will refuse to admit
the value- of boxing as an exercise
yet there Is in no other sport as
much in danger of professionalism as
the pugilistic game."
Other student letters read:
"Pennsylvania should not become a
clearing house -where professional
boxers may be developed under cover
by unscrupulous managers who might
send their proteges here to train
them under the guise of education.
"Parents will not want their chil-;
dren to come to Penn to be fighters, j
which is what the sport will surely ;
come to unless It is governed and :
regulated sternly. This does not
seem likely just now."
