Boxing
and Wrestling Squad
Boxing
and wrestling were introduced this year for the first time as a
competitive sport in the Carbondale Community High School.
Mr. Hildebrand, who had previous training as a boxing instructor,
took charge and developed some good wrestlers and boxers. A
meet was scheduled with Marion at Carbondale and ended in a tie at
four matches apiece. Later Carbondale went to Marion for a
match and lost. Marion Won six matches, two were draws, and
Carbondale won one. Marion planned another match in
Carbondale when Mr. Hildebrand was called back to the
Army. Mr. Gross and Mr. Malcomson were given the
supervision.
Boxers
on the squad were Henry, Weaver, Robison, Whittenberg, Hammertree,
and Roberts. Wrestlers were Mull, Eaton, Shafter, Menteer,
Rendleman, G. Deniston, Miller, and Lynn.
Letters
were to be awarded by the Athletic Department to some of the
members who merited them.
The
boxing and wrestling, if carried on next year, should be much
improved for only two members on the squad will be graduated.
