The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1922

Middleweight

Middleweight.

Frazer (10st. 3½ Ib.) Gibson (10st. 10lb.).—The bout proved one of the slogging order. Frazer was tired after his fight with Coningham and Gibson lacked condition. Frazer was the winner.

An exhibition spar was given by Billy Preston, the Australian proposed light weight, and also by F. Desmond, examateur lightweight of New Zealand.

McRae, the College heavyweight, sparred with Higgs.

The following team was selected to represent the College at Auckland.

Heavyweight : McRae. Middleweight: Frazer. Welterweight : Coningham. Lightweight : Lewis. Featherweight: Young. Bantam weight: Pringle.

Young was the only College representative to win his weight at Easter, and we extend to him hearty congratulations. Although only one weight was won by the College, nevertheless the other members of the team put up good fights, and were not disgraced by the dealings.

The College heavyweight, McRae, recently fought Higgs, from Crawford's Gymn. (with whom he sparred an exhibition bout on the night of the tournament, in the gymn.) and after a close fight, obtained the decision.

The students are reminded that the Club has Wednesday in the Gymnasium, and should make full use of the facilities offered for learning the gentle art, and incidentally keeping fit. There is much wisdom in the Latin phrase: Mens sana in corpore sano.
