SPECIAL BOXING RULES
ADOPTED FOR SOLDIERS'
BOUTS IN CANTONMENTS
The sport of boxing has not only

adopted for the Eighty-sixth Division

by Major Paul C. Hunt, and approved
by Brigadier-General G. H. Martin,
Lieutenant-Colonel W. M. McCammon
and Lewis Omer, former Northwestern
coach and civilian sports
director at the camp. In some respects
the rules, which will be adopted
in all the cantonments, differ from

No contestant shall weigh in excess
of ten pounds more than his
opponent. Classes in reference to
weight as follows: US' pounds and
I under, bantamweight; 125 pounds
and under, featherweight; 135
pounds and under, lightweight; 145
pounds and under, welterweight; 158
pounds and under, mlddleweignt;
175 pounds and under, Camp Grant
weight; more than 175 pounds,
heavyweight.

Each contest shall consist of three
rounds of three minutes each, with
one minute intermission, unless by
mutual agreement a round shall be
limited to two minutes, with one min
uitj inieriuu?*uu.
Each contestant shall be entitled to
two seconds, who shall not be permitted
to advise or coach their principal
during any round. Seconds
may be permitted in the ring to give
advice and to coach their principals
only during the intermission, and
they shall leave the ring immediately
upon the tap of the gong or other
indication that the round has commenced.

referee.
