Boxing For the first time in the history of Liberty High School. candidates for boxing were called out by Coach Stark. A large number of boys responded and work was begun. Without the aid of any veterans from a previous season, Coach Stark was faced with the hard task of developing a formidable team. The time from the beginning of December to the twenty-fifth of February was spent in training and learning the various pointsi in boxing. New equipment was furnished. such as suits, gloves, punching bags, and a ring. Sparring bouts were held twice a week where Coach Stark explained methods of attack and defense. The only meet of the season was scheduled for the twenty-third of February with Penn State Frosh. On the twenty-first, bouts were held in the gymnasium to decide who would box against the Penn State team. The result of the meet with the Penn Frosh was a decisive victory for the Bethlehem boxers, the score being 5 to 1. Mr. Stark, on be- half of the team. issued a challenge through Mr. Edmund Wicht, secretary of P. I. A. A., to box any team in Pennsylvania for the P. I. A. A. Championship, but received no re- sponse to the defi. Liberty High School sponsored its first annual Lehigh Valley Amateur Boxing Championship Tournament on April 22 and 23. The tournament was quoted as having the finest array of fistic talent ever brought together. The athletic committee is to be congratulated on the success of its first undertaking in the interests of boxing. , Under the guidance of Coach Stark, boxing was successfully introduced as a major high school sport. Let's hope more schools will sponsor boxing next year. one hundred ninety-nine
