Turning on the heat with zipping lefts and rights, four intra
mural boxers stopped their opponents in second rounds of bruising
exhibitions under the mazdas at Recreation hall last night.
A quartet of other swingers had to batter the distance for de
cisions before the wide-eyed half-a-thousand spectators, the largest
crowd to watch a boxing card this year. Five men won by forfeit.
Nine bouts, including the first
independent match, are sched
uled for the varsity ring, Monday
at 5 p.m.

YOUR TELEPHONE must take hard knocks as they
come—and go on working.
To make sure it can, we test samples of each day’s pro
iuction and put telephones through the equivalent of years
.if service in a few hours or days. For example: we drop
Handsets into their cradles 22,000 times—equal to 4 years’
normal use. And not just once, but from 16 different posi
tions we drop sample telephones from desk-top height
onto a hardwood surface. We even check their feet to be
ertain they won’t scratch your table.
Here at Western Electric, we’ve been making Bell tele
phones since 1882 But telephones themselves are only
tbout 6% of the equipment used in yout service. The other
91% includes wire, cable, switchboards, trucks, poles, tools,
office equipment With the exception of buildings, we
make or supply almost everything Bell telephone people
use—and test it with utmost care.
Guarding the quality of things used in your Bell tele
phone service is one way that Western Electric helps to
make it the world’s best.
