Greeks pound Greeks for charity in Sigma CM Fight Might
Analysis by Bob Asmussen
SUIT Reporter
For Greek haters, Friday night's
Sigma Chi Fight Night was a dream
come true. What could be better than
watching two fraternity men beat on
each other, and for charity no less?
The proceeds from the fight night at
Agriculture Hall went to the Wallace
Village for Children. The meet's co
director said he estimated about 1,000
tickets were sold. The total amount to
go to the charity won't be known until
later in the week.
At no time in the night would Marve
lous Marvin Hagler have feared for his
middleweight title.
Some of the fights were good. Some
of the fights were really good. Some of
the fights were bad. Some of the fights
were really bad. Having seen the Mid
west Golden Gloves in Omaha a couple
of times, I feel I can say some of the
fights were on par with that level of
boxing. Some of the fighters looked as
if they had been trained. Sparring,
skipping rope, roadwork, weights and
other Rocky Balboa-type exercises.
One of the fighters who said he took
the fight night seriously was Farm
House Fraternity member Doug Giffin.
Giffin, a sophomore from Kearney, said
he started lifting weights during semes
ter break. Giffin defeated Theta Xi's
Baseball...

On Sunday, both Nebraska and Okla
homa showed just how plentiful those
runs were as they scored a combined 32
runs enroute to a 1.1-9 Oklahoma vic
tory and a 7-5 suspended game lead.
In the first game, Nebraska fell
behind 9-3 after eight innings, despite
Mike Duncan's two-run homerun in the
third before putting on their rally hats
and scoring six runs in the bottom of
the ninth off the Sooners' Keith Hamil
ton to score the tie at 9-9.
In the top of the tenth, however,
Oklahoma answered with two runs of
its own off Nebraska's Brett Beede who
had just been inserted into the game to
relieve Mike Dobbs.
TheSooner's Darrell "Doc" Rodgers,

John Determan, Golden Gloves boxer, and John Chickanis, Phi Delta Theta boxer, begin the
second round of the Sigma Chi Fight Night with an exhibition bout
"I didn't think I was hurting him
that bad," Giffin said.
The fight night included 12 fights.
One was an exhibition between Golden
Gloves boxer John Determan and John
Chickanis of Phi Delta Theta. Chicka
nis went the distance with Determan.
While some of the fighters appar
ently had done extensive work to pre
pare for the fights, other fighters
appeared to have trained lifting 12
ounce weights. The worst fights and
biggest mismatches were ones involv
ing those who had sparred during train
ing and those who had drank during
training. Some of the heavier fighters
would have better suited to brawl with
chunky Roberto Duran or former Detroit
Tigers pitcher Denny McClain.
The crowd at the fight night was
boisterous but not out of control. The
worst language was the customary
"bullshit" chant after what the crowd
thought were questionable decisions.
Any yelling between fraternities
seemed to be good-natured and never
got malicious. All in all, it would have
been a disappointing night for Greek
haters. No one was seriously hurt.
"We've never had anyone get seri
ously hurt," Tim Stover, one of the
event chairmen, said. "It's a pretty
careful deal. We advise the fighters to
get trained."
who had entered the game to relieve
Hamilton in the ninth, then mowed
down the final three Huskers for his
second save of the season.
In the nightcap, Nebraska's Jeff
Mays, who had lasted only seven bat
ters in Saturday's second game, battled
Oklahoma's Scott Hamilton to an even
5-5 tie behind home runs by left fielder
Rich King and second baseman Kurt
Eubanks.
. In the top of the seventh, however,
the Sooners scored two runs off of Bill
Mulligan, who entered the game to
relieve Mays, to take a 7-5 lead before
the contest was suspended because of
darkness, a decision which drew heavy
criticism from Semore. The final half
inning will be played Monday at noon.
