The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921

Light-Weights

Light-Weights.

Farquharson (C.U.C.), 9 st. 5 lb, v. Forsyth (A.U.C.).

Farquharson beat Forsyth in the-first bout of the light-weights. Farquharson is a good man, his defence being particularly clever. Towards the close of the last round Forsyth was groggy, and had little fight in him.

Smith (O.U.), 9 st. 10 lb, v. Lewis (V.U.C.), 9 st. 10 lb.

Lewis fought well against Smith, who is an older and more experienced hand at the game. In the first two rounds there were some good sallies started by Lewis, but Smith used both hands freely when at close quarters and punished Lewis pretty severely. The third round saw Lewis as game as ever. He opened up with a brisk rally, using his right effectively on Smith's body, but Smith replied with lefts to the jaw and right jolts to the ribs. It was a good fight, Smith being declared the winner.

Smith (O.U.), 9 st. 10 lb, v. Farquharson (C.U.C.), 9 st. 5 lb.

Farquharson put up a good fight, but Smith has at present too much skill for him. The footwork of both boxers was good, but of the pair the Canterbury man seemed the quicker. The win went to Smith.
