1 , .- -.i Phil Gottschalk, Jr., goes after Deines of Russell. THE BOXING TEAM Boxing has been well established now at St. Joseph's as a major sport. Under the guidance of Col. Downey and Capt. Melancon, the team so far has taken part in two matches with Russell, winning one and losing one. The team expects to participate in the Golden Gloves Tournament and the State Amateur Meet in the Spring. That the sport is popular is evidenced by the turnout shown in the photo in this page.

oxing Win Seven Boxing Crowns The St. Joseph Cadets continued the trend, begun last year, of taking the majority of the state boxing titles. Five Cadets were crowned state champions, another a runner-up, and two won the championship event in the golden gloves tournament at Hutchinson. TWO. GOLDEN GLOVES CHAMPIONS Col. Downey's boxers returned from the Golden Gloves tournament with two crowns dangling from their belts. Thomas Younger, Class B lightweight had to fight his team mate, Verlin Staab, in the finals, and thus Staab lost the opportunity to win a crown for himself. Ralph Buggs, Class B Bantamweight champion, was the other winner. Although he had receiv- ed a broken nose in the first round, Buggs went on to win the championship.
