The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1910

Boxing

Boxing.

The Club has continued its classes regularly this season, and on Saturday, 6th August, hels its first tournament.. There was a fair number of entries in the light, middle and heavy classes, but only Stevenson and Dodson in the featherweights and welters respectively Dr. Napier McLean Kindly acted as referee. In the lightweights, Salek, Cash and Stevenson remained in after the first found, and Stevenson was left in for the final with Salek, who had drawn the bye. Stevenson had a strenuous time with Cash, and was not fit enough for Salek, who won easily on the points. In the middleweights Brosnan, Riddiford, Dudson and Jackson easily survived the first round. Riddiford and Brosnan were due to meet, but as the former's eye had struck jackson's fist in the heavyweights, he was not permitted to fight. Jackson won from Dudson. But had had too much fighting to continue the final against Brosnan. In the heavyweights, Riddiford and Jackson provided an excellent fight—willing all the time. Brosnan beat Freybnerg. The Doctor would not allow Jackson to continue fighting, so the final events could not be fought off. On a later date Riddiford and Jackson had an opportunity of meeting Brosnan, and provided excellent contests, Jackson winning on points, thus becoming the present holder of the Middle and Heavyweight Championships.

It is intended to continue boxing throughout the summer, and it is to be hoped that a sufficient number can be got together to justify an instructor being engaged.
