Chemawa Indian school, along
with other Indian schools of the
conn try, has discontinued the
boxing sport following a recom
mendation from the high-ups.
Thus comes to an end the Chema
wa school's participation la a
sport which brought them many
a title and a reputation for pro
ducing probably the top prep
ring teams in the northwest. The
Interior department suggested
removal of boxing from the In
dian program because of the in
jury threat . . . On who takes a
pale view of the proceedings,
however, is Nat Fleischer, re
garded as No, 1 ring authority In
the land. Quoting Fleischer out
of his King mag: "I wonder
whether Mr. Beatty (director of
.education for the Indian Bureau
and father of the recommenda
tion) and his medical staff took
note of the many valorous deeds
of the Indian lads In the air and
n the various battlefields, young
men who were embers of In
dian School boxing teams."
"Mollyeoddlea like Mr. Beatty
and his' physicians should not bo
permitted to dictate the physical
Instruction programs of the
wards in our Indian schools. ...
-Perhaps Mr. Beatty and his
physicians will next tackle the
Kblem of school football on the
Is of the many deaths and In
juries suffered by school boys
during the past gridiron season
and order that sport also abol
ished! Then why not hockey and
by degrees do away witll all
sports so that the Indians can de
velop Into the type of manhood
which Mr. Beatty and his advis
ors would prefer" . . . That was
-file vehement Mr. Fleischer de
fending the sport he's In up to his
neck. Undoubtedly there are ar
i gumenU on the other side of the
fence also ...
It's a changing world: And an
rareness of this Is brought

bloody and battered that Match
maker Elton Owen called a halt
to their mat mainer, will again
headline next week's card. So
much heat has simmered between
the two they have no use for
each other at all that Owen
had no alternative than to re
match them again. The fact that
they spattered each other so
bloodily this week and weren't
allowed to finish helped Owen
come to his rematch conclusion.
Owen stepped in to call a halt
because no commission members
were present. "Had someone been
here," the maestro opined, "I'm
sure he would have ordered it
stopped long before I did. So I'm
putting them back in there again,
as it's a great match between two
guys who have no love for each
other." The balance of the four
bout card will be installed later.

President Frank Shaughnessy of

a playoff, on the Pacific coast, be7

tween the International and Amer

"That's a fine idea," Rowland

playoff would be in the home city
of the PCL winner, and would re
place the Governor's Cup playoff
which in the past has pitted the
four top coast teams against each
other in post-season series.
Then, under Shaughnessy's pro
posal," the two clubs would go to
Japan and possibly Manila for ex

latter would be profitable for the
players," Rowland said in an in
