Otago's Six Titles

Otago's Six Titles.

The best bout of the Tournament, between J. Dovi (O.U.) and Brittenden (C.UC.), middle weights, was fought in the morning. Brittenden was unlucky in meeting the formidable Dovi. who scored what many considered a narrow win after knocking out his opponent seven seconds before the bout ended. The other sensation occurred when mild-looking Keane (O.U.) beat W. L. Barker (A.U.C.), 1932 heavy weight champion, in the preliminary bout for the light heavy-weight title after the referee had ordered another round. V.U.C. had five finalists—Fabian (bye). Black (bye). Kent (defeated Follick, of A.U.C.), Claris (defeated Mulgan, of A.U.C.), and Williams (bye). O.U. had G finalists, A.U.C. 2, and C.U.C. 1. V.U.C. accordingly had a reasonable chance of winning the Boxing Shield. However, O.U.'s team put up a remarkable performance by winning every one of the six finals they contested, the other weight and the Scientific Medal being won by Steele, of A.U.C. To these winners we offer our hearty congratulations. The V.U.C, team were very fit, and on several occasions were narrowly defeated. They should do very well next year.
