A lucky,b10W t0 the'J'aw lald clpetea, 10w, hOWeVEFI: d the California man was given the dealsmn. . an This meet ended a very successful season for the California Aggies in B oxing. If the Aggies could have met Southern Branch of the University Of California they would,rn0 rioubt, have been Inter-collegiate Champions of California this year: I he bouthern Branch des1red a 111th with the Aggies but it was 1mp0ss1ble to arrange a schedule so late in the season; the Aggies will probably meet them next season. To Coach McCorkle, miich credit is due for the manner in which he developed the fighters thls year. Starting out With a bunch of men that looked anything else but Champlonshlp materlal he developed a team that was a strong contencler fer the Champlonshlp. Many a fight was won by his 0001, quick, adylce given durmg the minute rests between gongs. He obtained the oilicnals who ruled at the meets in the Aggie Gym, and he did that part well. The 0H101als that we had were fair in their decisions to both sides and as unprej udiced as could be. Next to Coach McCorkle, Captain ttHerb,i Spilman is the man most responsible for the good showing of the team. By the good example that he set, the men were inspired to do their best and to win. ttHerbielt is a leader of the highest type, a clean fighter, a man who can keep his men satisfied and working all of the time, and a man whom we all admire and respect. May we have more men like Captain ttHerbii Spilman. The Varsity line up was as f ollows: Coach McCorkle; G. L. Ashley, manager; W. Crenshaw, assistant manager; Wm. P. Maghetti, trainer. Captain ttHerbii Spilman, Fred Milhe, ttAndyi, Bernhouse, ttHerbil Fisher, ttHankii Jensen, Alex ttSlimii Kovacs, ttDickii Barlow, ttAli, Beilar, Charles Beilar, Forrest F iorini, Grant Smith, ttPeteii Bassford, and ttAltl Crebbin.

ASHLEY CAPT-ELECT tiFERDit MILHE On March 14 the Aggies journeyed to Berkeley for the last meet of the season and a return meet with the University of California. The Aggies went down with the spirit to win or die in the attempt, and they carried off the spoils. Considerable improvement was shown over the fighting as compared with fighting in the first meet of the season with California. The men improved in the in-fighting and in their guarding, and all of the fights were very close, in fact, they were so close that it was hard to tell which man really won each bout. The men on both teams showed a willingness to mix it, and this made the meet a good one for the fans. Fred Milhe fought the fight of his life and was awarded the decision after three rounds of hard and fast fighting against Gompertz. ttAndyii Bernshouse came through with another win by pounding his man all around the ring and winning his fight by a wide margin. ttDickii Barlow fought a wonderful fight, one that was full of pep and go from the start to the finish. Dick has improved in his fighting over that of last season and is a mighty hard man to beat. Needless to say he won his tight by a large margin. tgMocoii Smith handed the California man a blow to the jaw in the fourth round that put him to sleep anti won the fight for the California Aggies. Smith is a coming fighter 1n the heavyweight ranks and is a man that bears close watchlng from any op- ponent Who is desirous of keeping out of the way of a K. O. punch. . Captain ttHerbli Spilman put on one of the best fights of the evening but had a little bit of hard luck and the decision was awarded to Captain Grow of California. ttHerbii Fisher, in a game fight, did his part well in the three rounds, but he also had a little setback and lost by decision. This tight and Captain Spilman,s fight were very close and it was hard to give a decision on them. H351
