front campus. The larger number Of
sophomores held the dummy on the south

and this rush also went TO the sopho-
mores, making their total 80.
The wrestling and boxing MATCHES fol-
lowed. The contestants weighed in as
follows: Lightweight wrestling, Durfey,
"a winner 1874, MahoneS, 90. 1873; light
weight boxing, Penta. '23, winner, 143.
Tyson, "a, al; middleweight wrestling,
Ratti, "a. winner, 1877. Kendrick. '23, with

Ing, o. G. johnson, 23. 100 pounds, Gallup,
"a 1884, match drawn.
In most of the bouts and matches. the
winner won easily, but in the lightweight
boxing. Penta and Tyson boxed evenly
and cleverly. the former taking the de-
cslon only because he took the offensive
throughout. In the middleweight wrestling
Ratti, "a, used a regular Greek wrestling
style, taking the first fall from Kendrick
after long preliminaries, and the second

which was later questioned. The sopho-
mores finally withdrew their candidate,
preferring to have the match won by de-
fault. In the last match, that between
"Swede'' johnson, %, varsity fullback,
and Gallup much lighter freshman, the
latter by skilful work succeeded in de-
laying one fall for nearly 25 minutes
While wrestling for the second. Johnson
received a cramp in the muscles of his
right hand and had to withdraw. The
match was called tie. The score Of the
wrestling and boxing left the total in ia
cor of the sophomores, AZ 1-2 to II 1-2.
The last event, the key rush, followed.
In this two teams Of ten picked men
struggled to push a heavy key into their
opponents territory. The sophomores
reached the keg at the same instant as
one OF the freshmen, and succeeded in
starting the barrel into the frosh terri
tory and holding it there by n great
struggle The final score, therefore. was:
1923, GO 1-2 1924, II 12.
Considerable credit Is due the Boulder
society. who managed the events OF I'm
derclass night with fairness and dispatch.
II. l. Williams refereed the bouts and
wrestling matches. and umpired at the
football game in the afternoon.
SCORELESS FOOTBALL GAME
The sophomore-freshman football game
was called on Centennial Field at 1880
p. m. Saturday. Both teams were in good
condition with the advantage of weight
with the freshman. From the very kick
OF to tEo final whistle, 1t looked as II the
freshmen would win by close margin.
but although they twice threatened to
score, they were held for downs. and the
hall was soon punted up tho field leaving
them TO work it down again.
The game was far above the usual
calibre of class games, and exceptional
considering the number of days Of
practice previous to the contest. This
1ras largely due to the fine condition of
many of the players who have been on
the varsity squad as second and third
HtrIng men for the greater part OF the
season.
For the freshman, Zwlck at fullback,
Grleg at. halfback, and Sunderland and

sopromores lost their mainstay when

out and taken from the game in the third
