Eliminations to Pick
Champs
for Division
■ Second Guessing-
; Boxing Team Begins
CampÄdcii'
SPORTS
By S Sgt. E. A. Brown
Boxing eliminations to pick con­
tenders for the divisional champion­
ships and also a team which will
later compete in the Camp Adair
tournament, are now underway
among outfits of the Timber Wolf
Division.
Although it is a little early to
make the dope bucket picks, it is
evident that the talent is pretty
well rounded out to take in every­
thing from the heavyweight divi­
sion right down to flyweight.
