PAGE SIX IM Boxing Title Still Tossup For DU, TKPhi Intramural boating started over two weeks ago, and after nearly two hundred bouts the fraternity championship is still a tossup between the old kings from Delta Upsilon and a newcomer, Theta Kappa Ph/. And the championship will not be decided until the last bout of the tournament—the match be tween !Mrs Jim Lockerman, and TKPhi's Dick Thatch for the title in the unlirrintA class Tonight's fights will begin at t:l5 on a gleaming white Rec Hall canvas. The Lockerrnan- Thatch duel will probably start at 9:45 p.m. Each house has a comparatively low total of 55 points and two fighters going into tonight's finals. Theta Kappa Phi's John Hel ix-on will try to imitate the feats of his uncle Pete Latzo who was once the middleweight champion 49f the world. Heffron will be the first of the fighters for the two houses as he will oppose Beta Theta Pi's Gene Woy for the 135- pound title. Even if Heffron would lose and DU's Paul North would win his 175-pound scrap with Sigma Phi Epsilon's Bob Berberich, the loser would gain 10 points as a runner up and the winner would earn a iotal•of 20. Then the procedure could be reversed for the unlimited title with a DU loss and a TKPhi win and both houses would have to be content with co-honors. In winning 5 of the last 7 box ing crowns. DU has shared the title only once, in 1950 with Beta Theta Pi. No other fraternity is in a posi tion to win. None of the others have more than one fighter re maining. At 121. Joe Nudge, AGR. will battle a little package of dyna mite from Phi Kappa Sigma, Tony Rotell. Dick King will get his second crack at the 128 crown for the second time in two years.

Arnie Roane, of Omega Psi Phi, faces third place Delta Sigma Phi's lone con tender. George Hunter., At 155. Phi Mu Delta's Mike Vigriola hopes to have bettgr luck in the fraternity finals than he did in losing to Harry Stack in the indies last year.

That gave the Jay hawks 864 points under the usual scoring system of 10 for first, nine for second, etc. Paced by 7-foot sophomore Wilt Chamberlain, Kansas took two impressive decisions from Wash ington last week, 77-63 and 92-78, to make it four straight for the season.
