How To Alienate Spectators
And Understand Boxing
By HEP GORDON
Since so many coeds, unac-
•; qualified'with:the art of boxing,
» wiil have the opportunity 'to
;• watch the NCAA-matches .to
il' night, we have decided' to pass
■; oh a few-principles for spectators.
■ To enjoy the fights
5 tial that* you'get a seat enabling
, you to see.over the people in front
i: of-you so'the "three men in the'
I; ring are. visible. The seat should
also -have a minimum of smoke
about it, and a maximum of leg
; room.
. It’s alw.ays.a good idea to watch
•; the scoreVb'oaid to see just who is
;• boxing, and what college he rep
resents.- No need to be in the
dark about all the excitement,
"and if'you can’t tell who’s niur
-derin’ who, the announcement at
the end of the match will be sure
. -ie^rih'ghtehY-yo'u.
:Best way to tell who is winning
a bout is..to watch the fighter’s
!i facial expression. Fright, fear,
and’bruises are. sure give-away of
- oncoming defeat. If, however,
; you are too far away to discern f
: these expressipns, oDserve foot-
work closely.. The fellow with
the neatest rythm and smoothest
: movements will probably win
3 the bout—and'the jitterbug cup

Honorary Searches For
Quiz Program Name
What’s in a name?
Two dollars and 50 cents if
you’re the winner of Alpha Lam
ba Della’s latest contest. This
time the women-with-averages
are searching for an original
name for their quiz programs.
Deadline for turning in entries at
Student Union is Saturday, April
19.
Plans have been started for a
quiz program, similar to the last
one, on Sunday, April 27. One
dollar will -be paid to anyone
submitting a question which the
judges are unable to answer.
Fifty- cents will be added if the
winner is at the program. Ques
tions oh the back of any “3”
bluebook or test paper may be
submitted.
at the next big dance.
. be disturbed by the
crowd’s yelling such terms as
haymaker, jab, uppercut, body
blow, TKO, or slug—“them’s
just fightin’ words!”
. The question always arises as
to what to do when the fans rise
—demanding a knockout. There
are four alternatives:
1. Hide your eyes pn your es
cort’s sleeve—but this may ruin
your mascara job and his suit.
2. Place your hand over your
mouth to suppress a scream.
3. Yell “kill 'em” and “get 'em”
with the rest of the blood-thirsty
crowd.
4. Or, follow the usual outlet—
punch the head of the guy in
front of your and jump, up and
down on your seat. This last
method will probably—(l) make
you lose your pocketbook, (2)
make you lose your friends, and
(3) make you lose —the fight.
If none of' these methods
heightens your appreciation of
boxing, and you still can’t under
stand the purpose behind it, don’t
be disillusioned. You’ll probably
be sitting next to a combination-
sports commentator, coach, and
interpreter, who’ll make the
whole set-up perfectly clear.

Averages Ifiaf !!©om
k Ik Spring
Ira la!
What, of these tales oi spring
fever, of campus trysts, of
Whipple’s Dam versus Econ
class! Statistics show that sun
shine and showers and soaring
mercury not only are conducive
to study, but they produce high
er averages every time.
For the past five years, sec
ond semester averages for men,
women, fraternity brothers, sor
ority sisters, independent guys
and gals, and for the whole lot
rolled together have been high
er by an average of .07 points.
Not much of a jump for an in-,
dividual, but a noticeable dif
ference in the All-College light.
. During this half decade sec
ond semester All-College ave
rage never went below the 1.41
mark and for the last three years
has remained a constant 1.43.
First semester averages, on the
other hand, have never hit
above 1.38 with majority of fig
ures lower than that.
Sorority women prove the ex
ception to the rule and show
marked weaknesses for spring
with a drop in combined ave
rages of .03 points. Manliness
finds the balmy clime an asset
as men’s grades rise .08 points
each season.
