'Enjoy Life' Is Ex-Fighter's Advice
Dad Hasn't Battered Nose, Bundren Says
"Dad had the idea that if they couldn't hit you, they couldn't beat you," says Gracia Lou Bundren, College junior, about her father, Herman Bundren of Topeka, who was a professional boxer for 15 years.
Although Mr. Eundren now owes his 160-acre farm southeast of Topeka and raises Shorthorn cattle, Belgian horses, and spotted Poland China hogs, his heart is still in the ring. His daughter has inherited his fighting spirit—her eyes sparkle when she speaks of her father's boxing houts.
Lou believes her father's theory and points that 354 bouts from 1921 to 1936 left no marks on him, no cauliflower ears, no smashed nose. His only injury was a broken bone in his right hand which has long since healed.
Herman Bundren, after attending school in Enid, Okla., went to work as a clerk in the Wichita State bank in 1919. He became a fighter by accident. Because he had a desk job, he joined the Y.M.C.A. for a little exercise.
"I was boxing there one evening when an old-time fighter took an interest in me and taught me a few
things. So I went on from there, he said.
During the depression he boxed for $600 or $700 a fight; the same bouts would now pay about $1800 or $2000. He fought and beat some of the best fighters of that time—Dane Shade, Roy Williams, Ray Tramble, Vince Gergoine, Abie Bain, Billy Fosk, Hasken Hansen, Donny Devlin, Bert Colema, and Ambrose Palmer.
Lou was a baby when her father took his little family to California. It was there that he received an offer to fight the middleweight champion of Australia. His wife and two daughters remained in San Francisco when he sailed. But when he arrived in Australia, he found that the middleweight was giving him the cold shoulder.
He relates that he wanted to be a second Jim Corbett since Corbett, too, had been a bank clerk.
Nothing daunted, Bundren proceeded to accomplish that very task. Fighting under the name of Kid Herman, he bowled over nearly 20 straight Australian foes, over half of
"Get a reputation," was the
champ's ultimatum.
Back in the U.S. Bundron fought under the name of Jack Kilbourne until he retired from the ring and bought his farm. By that time he had boxed in every state in the Union, in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, Australia.
There was no way out for the Australian title-holder. He accepted a match with Bundren and the Wichita boy walloped the champ and captured the title in the same way he won his other matches, a vicious right to the jaw.
them by knock-outs.
Lou says that her father is super-
sitious and Mr. Bundren admits it.
Looking back over the years, Mr. Bundren considers himself fortunate. Lou smiling attributes his success to philosophy, which he claims is divine.
"Most boys in the boxing racket are a little that way. In the ring I always put the left glove on first. I don't know why but that left glove always went on first. And to this day, I always put my left work glove and my left shoe on first. And a black cat is poison to me."
"Enjoy life. It is later than you think."
Death Mask, 'Boom' On Forensic Show
"Revue of 1947" will be presente in Fraser Theater at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The program, sponsored by the Forensic league, will present the best and most entertaining speech selections given this past year as chosen by student members of the league.
The "revenue" is a new type of presentation at the University. Orville Roberts will be master of ceremonies for the program which will present a "new slant" on speech making, by using demonstrations with nearly all of the presentations.
The seven numbers on the program will include humor, educational demonstrations and some short talks. One highlight will be when Elden Teft makes a "death mask" of some faculty members. Another is the "real" explosion that takes place during Ernest Wildhagen's fire prevention demonstration.
Others on the program will be Bernice Brady, who will "die" on the stage; Wallace McGehee, who will demonstrate "How Not to make a Speech"; Jean Moore will give an oration that has won in contests in 11 states; Russell Mammel with a question on Constitutional government, and Kenneth Beasley will present a problem concerning the Mississippi river.
Harvey Elected Prexy Of University Players
University Players, the new dramatic organization on the campus, elected officers at their second meeting Monday. Those elected were president, Harold Harvey; vicepresident, Alice McDonnell; secretary-treasurer, Vivian Rogers; publicity co-chairman, Jack Morton and Margaret Gosney.
Members adopted the constitution presented at the last meeting, with a few minor changes. About 24 members will attend the Theater Guild presentation of "Henry V" with Laurence Olivier in Kansas City Saturday.
Nine Building Contracts Given To University
D. A. Patterson, assistant project supervisor who will superintend the setting up job, will move into his office in 418 Lindley hall today, Mr. Nichols said.
Contracts for moving and setting up on the University campus nine buildings from Lake City, Mo., and Coffeyville by July 1, will be awarded by the Kansas City office of the Federal Works administration within a few days, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, announced today.
