Boxing and wrestling bouts between representatives of the different social clubs on campus will make up most of the program. The Smoker has changed somewhat from last year when challengers were also procured from the Industrial School and other sources. Sponsorship of the AAU was withdrawn after last year's bouts, making it strictly a school afafir. This was supposedly done on the idea that "Weber College doesn't support the AAU, so the AAU won't support the AAU." Challenges are being issued now, but no definite bouts have been set according to Alpha Rho's athletic manager, Bill McCafferty. The biggest attraction of the evening will be a "battle royal."
