Participants sometimes received prizes of money or merchandise, and when high school athletes par ticipated. a problem of eligibility sometimes en sued The Scenic Cannery in Pleasant Home was the scene of a number of smokers where a boxer might pick up a few bucks in those hard times. The Sandy High School boxing team began with lit tle encouragement from the administration who had mixed emotions about the sport The coaches were non-school people who were well thought of in the community. Fortunately, they were competent box ing coaches In the beginning, the kids on the team paid for all ex penses A c c o rd in g to Edison Mills, a member of the team, the school ac cepted no responsibility However, when the other teams in the Multnomah Clackamas Interscholastic League iM C IL ) sponsored boxing, the team was r • cepted as an integral part of Sandy High School athletics and received full support The coaching was still provided by outsiders, such as Dale Stewart, Cecil Daimler and Em il Reich At that time Sandy was a member of the M CIL which included Estacada, St Stephens (now Central C a th o lic ), G re s h a m , Milwaukie, Oregon City, Parkroae, Columbia Prep and Hill M ilitary The Sandy Golden Age C lub holds its s e m i monthly potluck at the San dy Senior Center today at noon MONDAY, FEB IS T he C o ttr e ll School Board meets at 8 p m in the East Building. The Sandy High boxing team was very successful as the awards in the school's trophy case in dicate Sandy dominated the M CIL as the team won second place in 1935 and 1936 and first place from 1937 through 1940 Sandy also took second place in the state meets in 1939 and 1940 Boxing ended at Sandy High School in 1941 when the M C IL discontinued sponsorship because of too m any in ju r ie s , some serious. Jerry Swails, who boxed on the Sandy team, said, "Some of the opposing coaches in the M CIL were so intent on winning that they would allow or even force participants to com pete, and w hen one kid was hospitalized after a serious head injury, the end of box ing was in sight " High school boxing was never extensive throughout the state Most educators disapproved of the sport and, although it had the ap proval of the Oregon School A c tiv itie s A s so ciatio n (OSAA) for some time, the asso ciatio n e v e n tu a lly dropped it. According to Ed Ryan, executive director of the OSAA, the association is unadulterably opposed to boxing on the premise that it is the only sport that is designed to do physical harm to an opponent. The OSAA, as well as other state associations, will not approve of boxing in any high school All known educational agen cies oppose it and colleges have also dropped it. Some of the boys who boxed at Sandy High School were Jerry Swails. I^ee G reg s o n , H e rm a n Johnston. Harry Berglund.
