It Is too bod ttist regulftUons fOrUd Cadets mixing with iq
boxing shows. Word has It that the Cadets are going to hold a ftght
program with tbelr own men at the ^rts Arena real soon and 11
the winners «i this show could only be paired oil with the better ElC
sluggers a real rlp-sntwter of an eiwbitloa could be staged that would
probably more than euoal any event yet seen on Seymour Johnson
Field.
The Barge bad a peek and a half at a whol fleldfull of the sky*
bound Cadets a few days ago and they sure nuff look like a bundi
of lads who could really be holy terrors betwen the ropes. Naturally,
they are all w>lendldly built men and amongst a large group of them
can be seen many with perfect physlQues for glove dueling.
I know that when you aU grt a glimpse of them at their coming
flidtt show that you'll agree that it would be quite the thing for them
to be stacked up against the likes of Williams, Jackson, Cavanau^.
Trent, Weinstein, et aL Almost forgot, though—regulations say "nr
can do." We can dream though.

Ibis makes Sunday's games likely
te be deciding of the first i^ea
team In the league as well as the
fourth position nine. The fourth
spot to the standings la bslng as
strongly fought for as the first place
dot The team which ends up to
fifth and last place will not be able
to enter the Post Playoffs and thus
tbe furious oentesUng for thi« place.
TTie 797th Is in the valued fourtb
bracket at the moment and
at their record. H seems ae thotigb
tbe 794tb will real^ have to pull
a minor miracle to catch them be

the race.
