Rambles
A few days ago Ben Bioselow, the
Penn 175-pounder who put up such a
magnificent fight against Andrews of
ilavy in last night's fights man in
formed by his doctor that he
shouldn't fight because of a bad heart
or something like that. Brian Hayes
told someone that Ben was awarded
that extra round because of his splen
did courage and stamina.

It's.a tough hfe. this boxing.
Someone told us that Red Cooper.

About noon today, Dick Harlow•,
Western Maryland mentor, was walk
ing down Allen street discussing the
problem he has getting enough 115-
pounders. Just as he mced a lament
at their scarcity, Ile saw Cal Saunders,
dimunitivis Theta Chi freshman,
scurrying home from class.
"C'mon down to Western Maryland,
son, I'll make a 115-pounder out of
you," urged the genial Harlow, "I
have six Just like you down there".
"Well, you got enough." Cal re
plied. If looks could hill, Harlow
would have been a dead one.

When they held the firq In

The meet WIN halted and the
freshman via 4 brought Into the
ring to make a public analog:.
It nasal such a bad idea

We were rather startled at Pin

was only a guard similar to ones all

Along about the tenth or eleventh
light last night, Neely McCown, Nit.
tany boxing manager, who annunced
the winners, was getting pretty
weary. In order that he wouldn't
forget which round it was. and get
up in the ring at the wrong time,
Neely bail Eddie Maimed, boxing
second assistant, call out the number
of each round to him. Not a bad
system at that, as long as Edthe
didn't stutter.

Just what constitutes an unsuceess
ful spot season Al us the question
which confionted Michigan State col
lege athletic authotities recently. The
school hockey tenon played only one
'game of a nine game schedule, the
other contests being cancelled because
of lack of ice
Since the se \ tet lost the only game
' they were able to play, the question
'of how to classify the season remains
a punting one, scantling to the Mich

'ended that the customary sa cams
would not be awarded.
Proposed abolition of baseball us a
