sru' . x4 Boxing OXING HAS TAKEN a stronger place in athletics than ever before B at the Farm. This is due to the conscientious work of Coach Barnard and the men on the team. Training started at the beginning of the Spring semester, and with the exception of a week during the small- pox epidemic, the team went through the training routine every after- noon after school hours. Gus Gerson, a veteran light-weight of U. C.,, was elected Captain of the team, and Tom Buck acted as Manager. Gerson and Persson were the only U. C. students on the team, while Hagen, Temple, Spain, Barlow, Wynne, Spilman, Perry, Miller, Laughlin, Buck, iiYoungi, Barnard, and House were Farm School men. The meet with the U. C. iVarsity Boxing Team on March 4th was a great success. Gerson, Persson, and ttYoungi, Barnard won their bouts, and every bout was clean, hard fought and, in the most part, very close. A large crowd attended, bringing $130 in gate receipts. The meet with Santa Clara on March 24th was quite a victory for the team, every bout in the evening being won, with the exception of one default, which was on account of a broken nose and doctors orders. The Farm men, on the whole, showed better condition and more expe- rience than the Santa Clara Men. Meets were arranged with U. C. for April 14th, and with Stanford for Picnic Day, which have not been held up to the time this article was written. 109.

Wrestling RESTLING AT THE FARM has received a great deal of atten- tion this year, but due to many adversities we have not been able to stage many matches up to the time this book goes to press. - Although there is not such a large showing this year as last, those Who have been working for the team have shown exceptional loyalty in turning out every night and working faithfully under the able tutelage of Charley Andrews. , Coach Andrews was formerly a well-known champion at his weight, and is now coaching the California iVarsity. He comes up to the Farm once a week to show the Country Bears the fine points of the game. He deserves all praise for the interest he has shown in the institution, and the patience he has had in making the Farm Wrestling Team the suc- cess that it is. As the Rodeo goes to press we have a match scheduled With the California iVarsity team, to take place in our back yard. We anticipate a successful evening With them on that night. There are several other important matches lined up for the latter part of this semester, and the fans are looking forward With interest to the wrestling program of the coming months. -
