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.

This gang, it is the jolliest that you have ever seen . . . just come and see 'em work out. Strained ligaments, blued and greened body ornaments, together with aching bones and broken thumbs all can be found. On whom? you ask. On all of them! Yes, even on Vernon Hunter and Carl Verhaaren, our faithful instructors, who, according to their laboratory-method of teaching must suffer too. For what greater satisfaction could there be for any student than to meet his teacher in a cornered ring. It is here that practice and theory must combine or consequences will be felt-Dancing with eyes on the gloves . . . to stretch out . . . in corners . . . to dream as well as winning the ring's decision embraced . . . on knees . , . enflamed must be practiced.
