Programs are always set up in such a way that a balance is maintained between both activi- ties. Meeting the clif- ferent opponents in boxing consequently meant meeting them in wrestling too. This was the case in all in- stances with the ex- ception of our meet with East High when the Richiield Athletic Club supplied the boxers.

The first time they came home with the scalp of Davis High, the second time with seven A.A,U. championships. All pictured boxers, together with Dennis Shaw, Leslie Iohnson, Vernon Christen- sen, Parley Robison, Pres- ton Thompson, Elmer George, Lawrence Stevens, Glen Whatcott, Omar Gil- lespie, Henry Stevens, Thayne Robinson, Mark Staples, Stanley Whitaker and Frank Sweeting, were fighting for the Blue-and- Whites and were not afraid to compare their strength with that of oth- ers. The outcome: Millard vs. Davis - 20-20 Millard vs. East - 11-10 Millard vs. Richfield - 5-5 Davis vs. Millard - 17-29 Millard vs.Beaver - 16:16 Some fought and won, others fought and lost, but all pleased their on- lookers with aggressive performances of refreshing and amusing ring scenes. Our record-breaking turn- outs of 700 and 800 per- sons and more prove what colorful showmanship and top performances can do.
