Whereas: Boxing has been organiz-
ed in the Intraumural department for
four years with increasing popularity
under Coach Ted Sullivan, and before
that was taught for many years in
gymnasium classes.
Whereas: More than one hundreds
and fifty men during the year receive.
boxing instruction and in the opinion
of the coaches are excellent material
for Varsity teams of all weights,
which could undoubtedly compete sue-
cessfully with the best =collegiate
teams in the country.
Whereas: The present equipment
and facilities for training in this sport
are as modern and complete and even
better than those offered by schools
which already have Varsity boxing
squads.
Whereas: Offers have been receiv-
ed (luring the past two years from
many prominent colleges and clubs
throughout the country for meets,
which testifies that Michigan's infor-
mal team is recognized to be of con
siderable merit.
And Whereas: The majority of
these offers could be accepted if theI
Michigan team was of Varsity rank-
ing, but cannot be at the present time.
It has been proposed that a petition
with the signatures of all students!
supporting the resolution be sent to
the Board in Control of Athletics that
at their meeting of next Thursday;
December 18, they recognize boxing
as a minor Varsity sport, thus putting
it on the same basis as wrestling,
swimming, hockey, golf and tennis.I
Copies of the petition I understand
are to be placed around the campus
and in stores for the students to sign
who support this action. I believe
that such recognition would be of di-
rect benefit both to boxing and to
Michigan athletics in general for it
