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.
