'he sport of boxing has hereto- e been non-existent at Michi- i; but now, under the impetus 'any students interested in the ivity, it is rapidly picking up mentum. Comer Is Leader Che boxers, under the leadership Lee "Satch" Setomer are going out to rectify the above situa- n by gathering petitions of over )0 names to the effect that the lersigned would like to see box- as a going sport in the near ure. According to Setomer, se petitions will be handed to :rew Baker of the Sports De- 'tment, who will then appoint a nmittee to look into the matter. competition in this sport takes ce from February to April and :ulminated by an intercollegiate rnament in the latter month. hough it is reliably reported ,t there is excellent material ,ilable here,. it looks like the Student tickets for Friday's vimming meet with OSU will 0 on sale at 8:30 a.m. tomor- w.

Despite the fact that Setomer is now in charge, before Michigan zould enter competition a regular woach would have to be appointed as amateur rules forbid its mem- bers from official mentoring.

Any students, wishing to don the gloves and learn a few of the finer points of boxing is cordially invited to put in an appearance at the above times. A special invitation is of- fered to those who shave any sort of experience at all. Michigan is supposed to be on the road toward having the great- est athletic setup in the country and it seems that it would be rath- er incomplete without a team rep- resenting us in this sport. Tomorrow on this page we'll take a glance into the situation that exists with the fencing boys and Thursday a look at the gym- nastic setup. Wisconsin won the Western Conference championship in 1905 by winning the only league game they played. By JACK MARTIN Daily Sports Editor_ J MICHIGAN IS FALLING BE- HIND in the world of sports. In view of the large-scale build-t ing program announced recently, this may appear to be a startling proposition-and in view of the extensive weekly 'schedule of var- sity contests it may seem a little unwarranted. But set up a comparative pic- ture. Michigan has at present varsity teams in Western Confer-! ence competition representing football, basketball, wrestling in- door and outdoor track, swim- ming, tennis, golf, baseball and1 hockey. Illinois has these, AND fenc- ing, gymnastics, cross-country- all of which are varsity-letter sports. Wisconsin goes even fur- ther-having varsit'y competi- tion as well in crew and boxing. Michigan, in other words, has eight sports in which a man may earn an "M"-Wisconsin has twelve. Illinois has ten. We see no reason why the Uni- versity of Michigan could not sponsor a varsity team in boxing, fencing, and gymnastics. Within the next three days The Daily will present a survey of the present situation in each of these three activities, and present an argu- ment of two in favor of their adop- tion as letter-sports. The petition procedure out- lined in the accompanying news story has a little ring of famili- arity in it. Several years ago a similar petition for a similar team was submitted to the same Board-and it didn't get by the first round. Reasons for such action were naturally listed, the two most important being that sufficient competition was un- available for a varsity team and, furthermore, boxing was a little too dangerous. AS WE SEE IT four main ques- tions must be answered by the Board in determining the feasi- bility of establishing boxing on a varsity level. The first deals with the financial angle. With capacity crowds on hand for practically ev- ery sport this season, we can hard- ly see how the'future could be very dark in this respect. Furthermore, boxing, wherever it has been es- tablished. has never failed to be a drawing card. With suitable matches arranged, it could pay its own way in a short time. The second question is whe- ther or not there is sufficient in- terest in the sport. This is eas- ily answered by the facts. there are a thousand signatures on the petition, and twenty men are working out regularly now. The third question concerns fa- cilities. Practice space is available, and is being used now, in the I-M building, and a removable ring for meets could easily be set up in Yost Field House, and just as easily taken down when the bouts ended. . The fourth, and most important, question is that of sufficient com- petition. Among the Big Nine schools there are teams at Wiscon- sin and Minnesota, and up in East Lansing there is Michigan State. All three of these schools have been able to find a most satis- factory number of opponents. Why couldn't Michigan: There is no drawback here. By HIERB LORIENZ ,In the hope of creating a greater interest in hockey as a collegiate sport, Coach Vic Heyligsr of the University of Michigan has insti tuted a campaign to determine a1 National Collegiate Hockey Cham- pion. Under the auspices of the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion, Heyliger would have a play- off of teams representing the Far West, The Rocky Mountain Area. The Mid-West region, and the East Coast with the winner taking national honors. Interest in Hockey Growing With the interest in hockey growing all over the United States, Heyliger's chief problem is one of organization. He has drawn up plans for the organization of the four sectors into individual leagues in order to determine sector cham- pions. In the Far West Heyliger has hopes of getting all the Coast schools in the league. California and Washington now have teams, and they will be joined next sea- son by Stanford and possibly two other schools. Top Michigan Billiard Stars In Union Tilt Michigan Union's pool parlor will be the scene of fancy billiards action at 7:00 p.m. tonight as a quintet of Wolverine performers combine talents in the opening round of inter-collegiate pocket billiards competition. The nation-wide program, spon- sored by the Billiards Association of America, includes top-ranking contenders from 27 colleges and universities. Wolverines in Eastern Group Michigan finds itself pitted in the New England and Eastern Sec- tion, which also embraces Buf- falo, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Cor- nell, Ohio State, and Rhode Island State College. Sectional tournaments in straight rail and three cushions will be staged on February 26 and March 6, respectively. In the pocket events tonight at the Union, Capt. Andy Sullivan. talented ace from Port Huron, and cohorts Jim Mummey, Andy Pawi ton, Mark Abend, and Joe Sobo- eski, will give the Michigan cue fans something to cheer about. Herb Roche and "Corky" Corman stand ready for reserve duty. Key Shot System Followed Don Krueger, who made the nec- essary arrangements for tonight, revealed that all billiards events will be conducted on a telephone basis. Participants, he pointed out, will follow a key shot system of play, which permits intercollegiate competition on an "absentee basis." This means players do not have to leave their home campus. Diamonds and Wedding . SRings 77North University Ave. The Rocky Mountain Region now has teams at the University of Colorado, whom Michigan played on their western trip, and Mon- tana School of Mines. These teams would be the nucleus of about a six-team league. Wolverines Head Mid-West In our own Big Nine Conference, which would represent the Mid- West schools, Minnesota and Michigan already have teams. To supplant these schools Illi- nois, who played intercollegiate hockey before the war, will proba- bly have a team again next fall. Both Purdue and Wisconsin are toying with the idea of having teams, and the Michigan College of Mines has indicated a desire to play in a league of this sort. Wealth of Material in East In the Eastern States a wealth of material for a league makes Heyliger's idea more imposing. The Ivy League, which has among its members Yale, Harvard, Cor- nell, Princeton, and Pennsylvania, could play the independent schools to determine the national repre- sentative of the East. Each of the regional champions would meet every year to establish the National Collegiate champion of the United States. Since Can- ada already has Canadian Col- legiate playoffs, Heyliger posed the possibility that a further playoff could determine the collegiate champion of North America.
