A letter came yesterday that plucked a tune on our heart Bt rings; It plucked because we find that we have another reader. Signing his name "A Boxing Van " the cnrre- spondeni brought some sports material to mind that we have so efficient ly, but accident ally, omitted all year. Says he!

"I am only a fan, but I think that Nebraska could have a very good boxing team with a little in terest and effort. LETTERS ARE AWARDED IN EVERY SPORT BUT BOXING which is one of the main reasons it is undeveloped as a sport here and is also unfair. In the few years the University of Wisconsin has had boxing as a sport it has developed a drawing capacity of over 9 and 10 thou sand people. Boxing right here In the interclass matches outdraws most wrestling matches, yet no effort to back this sport has been f made. "We have many good fighters to choose a team from, more than most schools, and would have many more if any support was given to the Interest of box ing. What school could boast of a much better team than, this: Heavyweight, Lester Mc Donald, football end; light heavy, Bob Mehring, football guard; middleweight, Al Simp , son, former state champion; welter weight, Tom Body, Y. M. C. A. champion; junior welter, Ralph Melgel, brother of Charlie; lightweight, Charlie Meigel, national A. A. U. run t nerup; featherweight, Ernie Grossman; and Bantam weight, James Knight. I think this team could stock up with most of them and there are many other boxers In school that may be better than these men. I would like to see you give boxing some support and with some help It might easily be made a more prominent sport here on the uni versity campus. I am sure it would more than pay for itself financially." The queer part about this fan's letter is that every word of it is true, and then some.

Harold Matthews, boxing coach, gets only a small percentage of the adept leather pushers. Boxing, it must be admitted, is 'one of the major sports of the world in general; why not here; Think of the fuss that Madison Square's multitudes make hours before the too few gates are swung open for the boxing fetes. In the lineup of all athletics in America football probably heads the list, baseball second, and then boxing. Recognizing this as so, why does the ring sport take the caboose at Nebraska? Our fan has al ready attempted to show that it wasn't lack of talent. Basketball, a few years back, received the same snubbing from publicity departments and con sequently the state's better athletes sent off for catalogues to other schools and bleachers were as unnecessary at basket ball games as beds in a fratern ity. A little support came, and now take a gander at the Husker position in cagedon. The same could be done in boxing. As for the non-awarding of letters, that Is one of these Ne braska mysteries like the per sistence of U. hall. True enough, an athlete competes for the fun of the game; but don't forget that all could records come under pressure, when the hero worship Is behind them. We were about to say that box ing was the best game for a real he man and then we came upon an account of the dastardly deeds of hockey, not represented on this campus. Charlie Conacher, right wing ot the Toronto maple leafs, carried around more injuries on his per son in seven years than an ambu lance. In 1930 his hand was punc tured by a skate and blood poison ing followed. That same year, due to a skating injury, he was forced to undergo a kidney operation. A broken wrist was all he could do in 1931. The next year he smashed two bones in the back of his right hand. In 1933 someone jumped on his collarbone and fractured it effici ently. An attack of boils did him no good in '34 and he broke his other hand in '35. Once again his shoulder bore the brunt as 1936 pulverized his shoulder. All he got out of this last year was a badly bruised bone in his right hand. Of course all stories have to go beyond belief so we give you this: Conacher led point and scoring records in 1933, 34 and 35 and hung up all time record in scoring with 36 goals in 1934. and Summer SCARFS To fill the neckline of your favorite suit.

Delta Tail Delta and Acacia matched strides toward the soft ball crown as they took decisions from their foes in yesterday's Greek intramural games. Both teams advance into the semifinals as a result of their triumphs. To Delta Tau Delta went the fastest game played in this year's competition as it pounced on Davis pitching for Farm House for a 3-2 victory. The ag college boys started out like they were really in earnest about winning the game as they pushed Jacobsen and Gir anlot, the first two men up in the opening canto, across the plate. However, Bob Parsons, on the mound for the Delts, hitched up his belt and proceeded to blank the Farm House squad for the re mainder of the five inning game. The Delts took up a little slack in the second inning to score a run and followed in the fourth for two more and the one run margin to win the game. Acacia's Take Title. Acacia won the deciding game for the league five title which ended the regular season with them in a tie with the Phi Gams for first place. Last years trophy winners won the game in a spec tacular manner as they circled the base paths for a 10-3 triumph. Acacia started the scoring with three runs in the second frame as Chase, Shirey, and Place crossed the plate. They held the Phi Gams scoreless until the last of the fifth. While proceeding on their job of goose-egging, the winners added another counter in the fifth as Place scored. Not content with their four to nothing lead Acacia HOME FROM RELAYS; E I Scarlet and Cream Cinder Performers Will Trek To Lawrence. Home from the Drake Relays where thev put up" a creditable ! exhibition despite the raw weather 'which made its appearance during . the tourney finals, Coach Henry F. i .Schulte's runners took brisk work i outs yesterday under the east stadium. This coming Saturday Mentor Schulte will take about 22 men to Lawrence, Kas., for a dual with Coach Bill Hargiss' Jayhawks. In an indoor dual here last winter, the Huskers routed the Kansans, ! 79-24. However, the meet this j weekend should not be a walk ; away for the N'ebraskans in as much as the Lawrence performers exhibited much power in the sprints, 440 and 880 yard dashes j at the Drake Relays, j Tentative List. ' The tentative list of those nom ' inated for the Kansas trip are Lee Pankonin, Dick Fischer, Marvin Plock, Bob Simmons, Lloyd Card ' well, John Brownlee, Fred Matte ; son, Wilson Andrews, Bob West, i Al Kuper, Eldon Frank, Bill Gish, ; Sam Francis, Bob Mills, Ray j Baxter, Bob Neumann and Paul ; Owen. Smile furrows covered Coach Schulte's visage as the result of the showing made last Friday and Saturday at the Drake Relays. Sam Francis retained his shot put and discus crowns; the medley relay team of Bob West, Bob Sim mons, Wilson Andrews and Fred Matteson finished second to Drake. The 480 yard shuttle hurdles relay of Mort Aden. Bill Gish. Eldon Frank and Lloyd Cardwell also placed second. Brownlee Runs Well. Much credit is due John Brown lee, sophomore from Omaha, for his fine running In the two mile race. He just missed qualifying for the finals by coming in fifth. If his showing at that relay means anything, a bright future lies ahead of this rapidly improving distance runner. I Another sophomore. Bob Mills, husky weight man, did his team justice by placing fourth in the iron ball throwing event with a heave of 46 feet 9 1-2 inches. Bad baton passing prevented the 880 yard relay quartet of Le Pankon in. Marvin Plock, Dick Fischer and Lloyd Cardwell from qualifying for Saturday's finals.

Where ordinary mortals may find only enough gy ration room for one-two-hops, the fancy stepper is content with nothing less than elaborate whirls and open maneuvers. Those trampled underfoot don't count The caper cutters know not whither, but they're surely on their way. Mayhap they guide their lives by the precept laid down by Dean Oldfather ip his Vespers sermon ette Sunday: "Your character is our destiny.' THE DAILY bats produced real thunder in the fifth inning as six runs crossed the platter on four walks, three hits, and an error. The Phi Gams count ers came in the last half of the same canto as doubles by Sisson and Grant and singles by Hou.sel, Jensen, and Petersen combined to turn in three runs. Elmer Bauer on the mound for the losers was ineffective against the slugging Acacias who were hot on the trail of their second consecutive Jack Best trophy, emblematic of the intramural ' championship. Harry Chaim on the mound for Acacia tuprned in an excellent six hit game. A. C. B. C. Wins 8-7. In Barb competition the Ag Col lege Boarding Club edged out an 8-7 win over the Toreadors in a fast game that saw the winners push four runs across the plate in the first of the seventh inning to come from behind and take the game. Ag college started the fire works in the second frame with three runs on two walks, an error, and a base knock. They added one in the third on Bauman's double and a blow by Huebner. The Tor eador's tied the count in the fourth as they pushed four runs across the plate. In the sixth they appar ently iced the game as they added three more runs for a 7-4 lead. However, a hit by Klingman fol lowed by Reinmiller's walk and succesive hits by Edeal, Knoche, and Bauman produced four runs for the A. C. B. C. boys in the seventh, a one run lead, and the game. Klingman was on the mound for the winners and Stayton on the hill for the losers. Two other scheduled Barb games were scratched off the program via the forfeit route. The Panthers winning from the Stratfords, and the Ag Cafeteria winning from the Sissies in that manner. FROSH TO COMPETE IN TRI COLORS THURSDAY Yearling1 Cinder Artists Will Try for Honors In Track Contest. The next tri-color track meet has been scheduled for Thursday, April 29 and will be staged on the outdoor cinderway if weather per mits. Last week Capt. Bob I Kahler's Red runners and field j men walked away with the meet by scoring 70 points, which was ' more than enough to establish a ! new point maik tor tnis season. Kahler's squad has won the last three consecutive color meets. On May 29. the tri-color runners will hold their first telegraphic dual of the season by competing against the University of Missouri freshman track outfit. Coach Schulte believes that telegraphic track competition is one good method of improving the perform ances of runners and field men. I; I 13 Prepare for Entrance In All-School Contest Thursday Night. Cool weather forced the all school gymnasts indoors yesterday as the training period for the fourth annual gymnastic meet, scheduled for Thursday evening at 7:30, entered into the final stretch. A glance over the list of entries indicate that Pete Kreischer, Al May and Frank Myers will be the ones that are likely to fight it out for the all-around crown Thursday night. Coach Charley Miller, mentor of the varsity gymnastic team in charge of the meet, be lieves that 15 to 20 men will enter before the meet starts. At present about 13 have entered. Ed Reynolds and Ed Bignell, varsity letter men, will give an exhibition performance between the regular . events, according to the present plan. Varsity lettermen will be used aa Judges for the meet.

Vike Francis, brother of Ne braska's All-American Sum Fran cis, donned a track suit yesterday and endured the chilly breezes by throwing the shot put at the out door pit. Vike, all - Colorado backfield star from Fort Col lins, Colo., re ceived instruc tions on the art of flinging the shot from his brother and Coach Henry F. Schulte. Last week at Greeley, Colo., Vike threw the iron ball fiO feet in the qualify ing tests. He is built in stature like brother Vlko l"rnnrl. From Lincoln Journal Sam and is about the same height.

The English people like a king who shows a personal inter est in them and the present mon arch does not display this trait as did his younger brother. Parlia ment has been too obvious, he de clared, to be effective in its en deavor. In high school history students nrp impressed with the conception that the British monarch serves as a symbol o fthe empire which binds it together. "There are far greater economic and political reasons for the em pire staying together than falling apart," Dr. Gray advanced. "If for any material reasons the empire should begin to fall, it will be the military strength, not the king, which will hold it together." Some monarchs have established for themselves an everlasting ad miration in the eyes of the Eng lish people. Queen Victoria who ruled for 64 years gained the love of her empire thru age. "She became an institution," said Dr. Gray. "Writers popularized her. King George VI has never had the favorable press behind him as has his daughter Elizabeth. Perhaps, with the aid of the press he may gain public esteem." Scolder's 3au She' It Adore Your Gift from RUDGE'S A Practiaal Leather or simulated leather styles. Handle, underarm, or zipper top.

With golf, track, tennis and Softball still boiling down, the Acacia fraternity is leading the intramural race. Following them in respective order are Alpha Tan Omega, Sigma Nu, Sigma Alpha Epsiion, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Kappa Psi. By knocking oft titles in one major and one minor sport plus a good share of seconds the Acacias stand as the probable cup winners this year. The leaders took an early position out in front when they grabbed off the football laurels. Their other title was bowl ing, bringing their total to an up to date stand of 6S3 points. A. T. O. Bidding Strong. A. T. O. is snapping at their heels with a 651 point total. Their position came as a result of wins in water polo, class B basketball, and basketball free throw com petition. Other substantial gains came to them from close runnings up in several sports, namely class A basketball, football, and soccer. Copping second in nearly every sport on the calendar and smother ing the class A basketball field, Sigma Nu ranks third with 639 points. Their long suits were both basketball leagues, rifle shot, water polo, and horseshoes. Rounding out the closely grouped first four are the S. A. E.'s with 623. Soccer was their only plaque, but they too came in on close terms with the ultimate winners in most events. Sig Ep and Phi Psi rank fourth and fifth, but they appear to be too far behind to catch up for their share of the money this year. Neither team has won a first.

Remaining either incomplete or unplayed are golf, track, tennis and baseball. Forecasts at this point are difficult, but intramural officials have their conception of the race from here on out. With only forty odd points dii ference between the first thre contenders and each with possibili ties in remaining sports, it look. like anybody's cup, so say the dignitaries in charge. Acacia, now leading, has little chance in goll or tennis, but their opportunitie. in track and baseball are unlim ited. Should they come through in at least second spot in both, they would have the cup. They are' still battling for the soft bali plaque, still unclaimed. Sig Alph has a better thai' average chance in both tennis and track. Sigma Nu will be defending her track title this year with a dupli cate team of last year and her golf team seems to have the situa tion well under control. As for baseball and tennis, they snared only a few points. If they come through as expe.-ted they will cause Acacia plenty of worry. As for the only other contender, A. T. O., they have a good chance to better themselves in track and tennis. However, their wholesale, collection of large totals seems to be concluded.
