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.

George Tucker, Pacific University Class of 1925, holding "Boxer," a bronze statue that was the symbol of Pacific University. According to a note he wrote on the back of the photograph, this was taken in a field on the outskirts of Forest Grove, Oregon. Another version of this photograph (PUA_MS95_26) includes a note that it was "taken near the bridge where Boxer was hidden by Lenore Conger, a Pacific freshman." The latter quote dates the photograph to 1924-1925. The photograph is hand-colored.
