UWAAAAQZ 0 A he ONONDPK GPSN 0 AAAAAAX: Three Infant Mznor Sports HE family of Syracuse University athletics was augmented during 1923-24 by the arrival of three lusty infant sports-Hockey Boxing and Fencing. These precocious youngsters so edged their way into the affections of Syracuse generally that the Athletic Governing Board recognized them as regular minor sports To prove that this confidence was based upon merit, the three proceeded to don the skates or the gloves or the mask and to produce achievements that were really quite noteworthy for sports so young. In competition with representatives of other institutions they acquitted themselves well, proving their right to their new position lhe coming of these three new sports all within one college year is quite unique in Syracuse history It is looked upon as an indication of the growth and perfection of all sports upon the Hill, an extension of the privilege of participation to other groups of men Every sport of any importance in collegiate circles is now represented on the Hill. It is expected that another year will seethese-latest additions even more firmly established and possibly enrolled in the existing intercollegiate leagues A point is rapidly being reached at Syracuse, where no sport will be looked upon as minor At present the seven most popular branches of athletics are designated as major sports and the rest as minor sports. This situation is fast becoming less pronounced and the so called minor sports are attaining almost as wide-spread popularity and interest as some ofthe major sports in their particular seasons. If a person is interested, for instance, in hockey, he will find that every effort is- being made to make that sport a success, just as every effort is being made to make foot- ball a success It is another mark of progress and expansion in the realm of Orange sport Most of these newest sports are coached by members of the faculty, who serve without recompense rl hey work most faithfully, devoting every effort to the turn- ing out of good teams, teams that will be fittingly representative of Syracuse. A great deal of credit is due them for their unflagging service devoid of any thought of remuneration Q Q Q N Q A 0 . '1 Q 7 Q M 2 AX AX p X' st sl QL? , 4v' ,v' :,1v,1:'z:' :'V i V r V Q 9 Q .

Coach S OXING was one ofthe liveliest ofthe infant sports born on the Hill in 1923-24. During the year the informal team representing the University participated in two meets, one a dual contest with Penn State and the other the intercollegiate championships at State College In the dual event the more experienced and better- trained Penn Staters won Eve out of six bouts, Webster Rice, '24, bein the only Syracusan to make a point It was a hard-fought match, though, despite Sie uneven appearance of the score In the Intercollegiates, Syracuse sprang a surprise by taking third place, behind Penn State and the Navy, but ahead ofthe University of In view of this showing in the first year of its existence the boxing team next season is expected to push forward to a prominent place in the collegiate ring. oseph H Leonhardt, Hill freshman and well-known professional boxer, has volun- teered to coach the men again next year. Franklyn W. Chaffee, who managed the team ln its first season, was elected captain for 1924-25 following the conclusion of the Final bout He IS likewise, one of the cleverest boxers on the team. A strong probability that Syracuse will be admitted to the Intercollegiate League ln time for competition 1n it next year is seen by those closely connected with the sport on the Hill One thing that leads to this conclusion is the fact that the Orange competed in the League this year by special invitation.
