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

brought some
sports material
to mind that we
have so efficient

"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. This school
not only has one of the better box-

ing teams out for competition, but
also many more experts in the art
who are running around loose.
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.

Crews Advance to

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

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

Matteson finished second to Drake.

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

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

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,

for the A. C. B. C. boys in the

king who shows a personal inter

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."

RANKING POSITION
INTRAMURALS
Softball, Tennis. Track,

On Calendar.
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.

from seconds and thirds or lower.
Four Sports Unplaved.
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.
