passageways as they are encounter
ed
The search must extend into even
the most remote recesses of the laby-
rinth below ground before it will be
possible to say with certainty that all
is known that might be known about
Utah's greatest tragedy in more than
two decades-one Of the worst mine
disasters in the history Of western
mining.
While sober judgment holds to the
fatalistic conclusion that every man
caught within the mine is dead and
possibly has been dead for two days
and more, the hope of safety for a
few at least can not be downed And
yet the days results, added to the
efforts made before, have yielded
nothing upon which it is possible to
accurately base such expectation.
As the funeral car and mail
truck, impressed into the somber
service, have alternated during the
day in their tragic journeys from

ed their comings with ever recurrent
fear on the part of nearly everyone
that member of the family or
a friend will be found at the journ-
ey's end.
Yet every time one Of these car
riers of death came hating at the
morgue door the teareyed throng
would press about until men of the
American Legion were enlisted as
guardians to hold the crowd in check
Thereafter the waiting people hur-
ried at each new visitation of the
hearse to read the growing list of
identified dead posted in the lobby
Of the postoffice near by.
And out on the hillside, almost
over the tunnels where lost miners
now lie dead, graves were dug to
give them places for their eternal
rest.
A possible seventy-five men of
hose buried in the No. 2 mine of

Plant Bureau went into a tie for
second place. An interesting match
is expected next Wednesday when
Plant Bureau and Property hook up
to decide possession OF the runner-up
position.
Larry Eidsness was back with the
SecretaryS flve after a long absence
from the alleys. His appearance was
not greeted with any prolonged
cheers by the Plant Bureau team
His bowling practically kept the lat
ter team out of second place. a couple
of well placed marks helping greatly

Newton, out for the first time with
Plant Bureau. contributed much to-
ward his teams success in tying up
with Property for second place. He
had Il set of 3O. Ferrail counted
high game for Plant with 116.
Soils Chemistry won two games
from Economics and looks safe to
finish at the top, since only six more
games are to he rolled. They now
have four-game margin over Prop
erty and Plant Bureau. Gowan had
high set for So-Kems with 335
Farm Management held on TO it's
place in first division by taking two
games from Property while its rival.
Economics. was losing two out Of
three to the So Kems. Farm now has
full game lead over Economics and
also a fairly wide margin in total
pins. Jameson featured for Farm
with high game of 124 and a 31S
set. Cooper counted 315.
Economics had a tough break, incl
dentally, in losing two games to the
So-kems, since the second game was
lost by margin of 4 pins when
Elder lost an apparently perfect hit
for spare in the tenth. Whelan,
rolling the third game for So-kems
counted lie, pulling the third game
out of the fire. Edler with 315 and
Hevener with 3o2 were best bowlers
for Economics.
Capt. Holmes Interbureaus popu-
larly known among league fans as
The Bearcats," practically settled
the light for last place by taking
three games from Forestry and sink
ing that outfit pretty definitely for
the season. The Interbureaus have
rolled better than 500 since Holmes
took charge in January and have an
excellent chance for winning second
half prize for highest percentage of
victories from January to close of
season. Raedy and Conklin. with 81
and sos. respectively. rolled best for
the 1nterbureaus. Raedy decided the
third game by landing a spare in
the tenth box and winning the game
by a margin of 6 pins.

their own team men. However. the
officials felt that good results would
come from eliminating roofing en-
tirely during the bouts.
Rigorous Measures Necessary.
The results were not attained
without the application of some
rather rigorous measures. In some
cases midshipmen and civilians were
asked to leave the building. In two
cases, one during a varsity match and
the other a Plebe affair. the Navy
contestant was directed TO forfeit the
match because the midshipmen ap-
pIauded, the Navy varsity captain
being the innocent victim in the first
instance. These measures, however,
were enough to make every one real
izc that the academy authorities
meant what they said when the rule
was made. 4,
The successful results of the ap-
plication of the rule as TO boxing and
wrestling may mean its application,
so far as practicable, to other sports.
Great progress has been made along
this line, and such things as for the
home crowd 'to get the pitcher" and
similar practices have been aban-
doned by institutions of character.
The movement has been given
strength by the application at the
Naval Academy of the rule as tS
boxing and wrestling.

Since boxing became a regular in
tercollegiate sport five years ago it
has been the rule of the American
Intercollegiate Boxing Association
that there should be no applause or
manifestations during the progress
of a round and the obligation to en-
force the rule was laid upon the
institution where the match. took
place.
In general, the rule has been car
ried out in varying degrees. All
institutions which support boxing
teams make some effort to enforce
it, but there is much laxity in some
places. At the academy, with naval
discipline back of it, the rule is now
observed to a letter.
why Rule Was Applied.
The rule was applied because il
is believed that it tends to keep in
terest and excitement within bounds
and 10 eliminate some of the features
which might make boxing objec
tionable. Experience has shown that
the danger of taking the bouts too
seriously. with resulting bad feeling,
is always present.
The rule as applied to wrestling is
observed, so far as known, only at
the Naval Academy, and its enforce
ment during the season just past
has an important bearing on college
sports. for the reason that it was an
attempt, and a successful one, to
eliminate college roofing as a factor
in the result of collegiate contests.
Roofing during the progress of
wrestling matches had been general
and 1t was a difficult matter to en-
force the rule completely. Moreover,
it had been on most SportSmanlik e
basis. the midShipmen never heSitat-

contend that attempts to jam across
