Not training for actual combat in the ring, but boxing to teach the coming men the art of self defense, From experience in the war, boxing is known to be one of the best means of physical development. This is to be encouraged as work with the padded mitts learned under competent in- structors has proven its worth. When the local boxing promoters pick their judges to act with the referees at boxing shows here it would be well that they are sure that the men they pick are more than reputable business men. The average fan who attends the shows here has his mind made up as to who will win before the bout will start and, regardless of how fair he tries to be, he is prejudiced. Let's more care in picking our judges in the future. take Boxing fans along the coast are coming to life and are asking questions about Frank Farmer, the bald-headed Tacoma logger, who stowed away another victim in Leo Cross at the Crystal Pool Friday. Farmer’s age is one of the riddles of Northwest ringdom but the old boy still makes the ringsiders sit up and take notice with his wallop. It is doubtful whether any man of his weight carriés a stiffer punch than the Tacoma lumber manicurist. There’s a movement under way at the University of Washington to establish swimming as a major sport. This means that the local college will have a swimming team and that members will be entitled to wear the “W.” There is plenty of competition in the water along the coast and if the movement is developed it will be a big boost © for the sport. With water on nearly every side of us, swimming should be boosted more than it is.
