" '' onds, : Kruso wards YOUTH DEVELOPER A blc need in the athletic cur ricula of the Medtord high school Is believed filled in the recent opening of boxing classes, teaching tho manly art of self-defense, under the direction of Bronton Finch, principal of tho Washing ton grammar school. Classes arc held twice weekly and have a total enrollment of 70 studonts, wilh avcrago attendance of 60 at each class. Athletics in the school has In the past been specialized principally In two departments basketball and football and students unablo to gain admission to cither of theso departments rounded out their high school career with littlo ath letic training. Tho number taking part in cither of these two soorut has been somewhat limited. In tho boxing classes, an attrac tion for students athletically In clined has been supplied and the responso has been gratifying to Mr. I'incn. The usual class Is two hours in length and Is held In tho. senior high school gymnasium, where students are put through a short calisthenics drill, followed by sha dow boxing, sparring and given a short lecture on the art of self- defense. , -In ;.gparring, tho ontiro class is paired" off In "twos," and tho gymnaslunv during this part of the class presents a highly ani mated sceno. ' Mr. Finch has found sovcral stu dents of promising ability' as box ers and in Bcrnio Hughes, believes ho has found tho matorlal for a coming heavyweight champion. Hughes has the ability of a scien tific fighter! as well as speed and strength, but, of course, Bcrnio has not thought of following tho boxing profession. Ho Is ono of the few athletes who made good in football or basketball, who are taking tho boxing classes seri ously. A past master of tho boxing art, himself, Is tho Instructor, as he was described yesterday by a hieh school faculty member as having been champion welterweight of tho Atlantic fleet during tho World war. ' Before coming to Medford, ho fought exhibition bouts with nationally known leaders in tho ring profession and was rated as a top-notcher, but ho found greater joy' in leading tho more quiet life of a .school teacher and has been in Medford in that capacity for several years. , , 1 ' It is .likely, tho boxing classes will be continued next year, as they -aro regarded as -boing essen tial In ' rounding out 'a well bal anced program for the high school. . -.
