Canterbury

W. Whineray (heavyweight): Likely to be the star of the team. Well known in rugby circles, Wilson hist year blasted his way to victory in the heavyweight division for VUC. Strong and powerful, he is a fighter of great determination and he should be a certainty to retain his title.

I. A. McDougall (middleweight): The winner of this weight for the last two years, Ian is now one of the team's veterans. He is training hard, and can be considered a certainty to make it three in a row. He won an NZU Blue in 1954, and also the award for the most scientific boxer.

G. Tate (light-middleweight): Last year's runner-up in this division at Auckland, Graham was a representative of VUC.

R. A. Garden (welterweight): Last year he was narrowly defeated as a novice by one of the most outstanding fighters in the NZU championships.

C. A. Blakie (light-welterweight): A newcomer to the club's ranks, Ces is not so new to the hempen square.

C. Mitcaife (lightweight): This year's find. A tough, fit and unrelenting fighter.

Otago

Heavyweight: J. Samisani: A member of the Fijian Amateur Boxing Association. Newcomer to University boxing, expected to put up a good per-formance.

Light-heavyweight: R. Nickalls: Has not had much ring experience, but is a willing puncher and should do well in his weight.

Middleweight: R. Cosgrove: A fit and clever boxer.

Welterweight: J. Farry: A neat boxer, who is also a newcomer to university boxing.

Lightweight: C. Gribben: Fought well in tournament last year and should repeat his success this year.

Victoria

Seven boxers will represent VUC in defence of the NZU Boxing Shield.

In the featherweight division, either Tom Brosnahan or Pat Johnston will represent VUC. NZU lightweight champion Doug Law is in fine fettle for the defence of his title. Light-welterweights Ina Thomson and Mike Webber are hard in training for their fight to decide VUC representation. Brendon Scully and Simon Lockhart are both competent boxers and will be fighting in the welter and light-middle weights respectively.

Middleweight Bob Stevenson will be a hard man to beat in his division as he has been fighting particularly well in recent weeks. The winner of the elimination contest between Rua Bristowe and Mike Watson should do well in the heavyweight division as both men are particularly fit and both are very determined fighters.
