Lions Es®!?

Discussion
As part of his daily regimen,
Ralph Reconnoiter, our admiring
fraternity brother and valued
compatriot, entered a local eatery
the other day. He spied two
broad-shouldered behemoths
hunched over a small table and
arguing vehemently over some
seemingly vital point.
Center of their interest was
a place mat on which each
seemed to be drawing lines fe
verishly as of to press home
his cherished viewpoint. Per
haps a discussion of a phase of
Einstein's theory?
To find out, our friend crept
closer and discovered one Chuck
Drazenovich and his fraternal
kin, Joe, engrossed in a heated
skull session.
Our friend moved even
closer to discern what sort of
drawing Joe and Chuck were
creating on the place mat.
Startled, he withdrew surrep
titiously and later reported to
us that the Brothers Drazeno
vich were discussing—not Ein
ilain—but an Intricate football
play, the salient features of
which were represented by a

Sigma NU Grabs Pair of IM Bouts
Sigma Nu continued to dominate intramural boxing at Recrea
tion Hall last night, but decisions were getting harder for judges
to make as the punch-and-duck sport moved into the third round for
some fighters.
Last year’s champion team drummed out two victories, Tom
Lucas, 121-pound wildcat, slugging like a heavy-weight, slapping
Dick Freistak, Theta Kappa Phi,
into dizziness for a TKO victory;
while Jack Weidenman, recover
ing form after being slowed by a
terrific uppercut, came back to
decision Dick Goodling, Alpha
Tau Omega.
Seve other boxers battered
their way to victory before a
large crowd including a bigger
percentage of coed boxing fans.
The IM department meanwhile
announced another 12-bout card
for today, with fights to begin at
5 p.m.
SIZZLING TEMPO
The sizzling tempo of the
heavyweights again captured the
favor of the fans in two bouts,
Joe Drazenovich, Delta Upsilon,
decisioning John Woche, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, and in the last
fight of the night, Newton
Comly, Alpha Gamma Rho, piim
meled Bill Herrman, Chi Phi, for
a decision win.

of you. Call us today—have this precious por-
trait in time for Christmas.

Astonishing the mob with his
ability to take staggering blows
and wade in for more, Herrman
set his teeth in the final minute
of his losing brawl to shake
Comly with an earthquake right
that almost evened the squabble.
Comly, however, stuck it out to
win.
Joe Drazenovich, listening to
brother Chuck, varsity heavy
weight, came back in the third
round with flailing fists, dropping
his guard and concentrating on
offensive, to tire Woche and gar
ner a close decision.
BATTLE OF LEFTS
In a battle of lefthands, jab
against cross, Sid Manes, 165-
pounder from Phi Sigma Delta,
blistered his way to a three
rdund decision over Richard
Dum, Alpha Gamma Rho; George
Kelly, Alpha Chi Sigma, tem-
