Title
Pacific University students gather together for a Boxer Toss
Description
A large group of students gathering on a lawn for a Boxer Toss. When a sports team, sorority, fraternity, club or other group got a hold of Boxer, the tradition was to wait a few weeks and then 'flash' him at a public setting. This showed everyone who had possession of Boxer and prompted a surge of spirit. After a few months, the organization would 'toss' out Boxer to the students who would wrestle and fight over the statue until a new holder of Boxer emerged.
