BOXIIG interest at Michigan fin- ally resulted in some constructive investigation this month when the Physical Education Department, un- der the direction of Dr. George A. May, sent "feelers" to 24 leading Uni- versities inquiring as to their stand on the sport. I Advocates of boxing, myself in- cluded, will be surprised to learn that 13 of the 24 schools returned unfavorable replies stating various reasons for their position. How- ever, the report, which Bill Elmer of the editorial staff has forward- ed to me, seems to indicate that despite this opposition the atti- tude in many cases is an "on the fence" one. I still believe that if enough interest is shown in box- ing, the schools which are waver- ing in their stand will be forced to reconsider the merits of the sport. In the Western Conference six' schools expressed disfavor and four either favored or were open minded towardsaitsrinauguration. Chicago and Ohio State returned "decidedly. unfavorable" replies; Illinois, North- western and Indiana answered "un- favorable;" Michigan permits class instruction only. On the other side of the ledger, Iowa, despite a state law prohibiting boxing would "like to encourage it;" Minnesota reports that they are favorable to boxing if it is controlled; Purdue is "open' minded;" and Wisconsin, only Con- ference school which boasts of a vars- ity boxing team, presents the unusual anomaly of having the Athletic De-' partment favor the sport and the Physical Education Department op- pose it. Among the other schools contacted Nebraska, Cornell, Syracuse, Yale, California, U.C.L.A., and Stanfordj answered f a v o r a b 1 y. Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Princeton, and Washing- ton replied in the negative. Seven of these schools at pres- ent feature boxing on their vars- ity calendar. Wisconsin leads the way, the sport having clicked tremendously at Madison with1 crowds ranging from eight to twelve thousand. An admission charge is levied.1 Syracuse, where admissions range from 55 cents to $1.65, has an averager attendance of 3,000. California's gal- lery averages about 2,500, Cornell's 1,500, Stanford, which reported "de- cidedly favorable," averages 750 per- sons, and U.C.L.A. and Yale, about 400. Sixteen of the schools offer some sort of boxing competition, usually1 intramural. At Iowa crowds of 1,000 spectators have watched exhibition bouts sponsored by the Intramural Department. Boxing enjoys considerable prominence in the South, rating as number one sport at such schools as Virginia. The National Collegiate Tournament this year will be held at Wisconsin, which is strongly favored to walk away with the title. Chief opposition to the sport here is the fear of injury. Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost, long an opponent of any form of boxing in the varsity curriculum, recently expressed anoth- er view when he told this reporter: "We have enough trouble keep- ing the boys happy and promot- ing teamwork and good fellow- ship here without putting two 'men in a boxing ring and encour.- aging them to fight it out." How this observation can be recon- ciled with the type of endeavors which such sports as football or wrestling feature is something that this chron- icler is unable to fathom.

Seem- ing to be unstoppable in the first period, the Gophers piled up five consecutive goals inside of ten min- utes. Michigan had the puck in danger- ous territory but once, with Minne- sota's stonewall defense breaking up all plays at the blue line. Coming back in the second period as completely rejuvenated team the Wolverines, with a remarkable change of pace, took the offensive, and com- pletely outskated the Gophers to dec- orate the laces twice, and leave the Gophers scoreless. Hillberg Scores Taking the puck in center ice Hill- berg skated by his lonesome through the entire Gopher defense, and whipped it in for Michigan's first tally against the Gophers this sea- son. Little George (Toughy) Cooke, as the Gopher followers nicknamed him, was in the Minnesota boys' hair all night. Also taking the puck away from a Minnesota player at center ice he waved along the boards, sud- denly cut in and tossed the puck be- tween the legs of goalie Marty Falk. The fans went wild with applause on gall of the Wolverine scores, as the boys throughout both games had played their hearts out until the last second of play was over. Cooke Scores Second With the third period three minutes old, George Cooke received a perfect- ly timed pass from Hillberg, that Falk couldn't possibly have stopped. Thinking they had better settle down or anything might happen, the Gophers led by Johnn Mariucci and Frank St. Vincent, took up the Goph- r cause to score three quick goals to sew up the contest. Playing the finest game of any in- vading team, goalie James kept the crowd in applause most of the eve- ning with remarkable, some almost impossible, saves. James' stops were all difficult be- cause the Gophers' offense, with but one exception, was always far inside the blue line, with never less than two men swarming down upon him. He was slightly injured late in the third period when a puck hit him in the head. However he was able to re- main in the game. Last Of Series Tonight's game was the last of this year's series for Michigan and Minne- sota, and was the 67th game of a 17 year rivalry between the two schools in hockey. By scoring its three goals against the Gophers tonight, the Wolverines upset the Gopher hope of being the first of the two schools to shut out the other in all of the four games series. This season's total goals was Min- nesota 25, Michigan 3.
