Boxing Club

Boxing Club

The chief event of the Club year is the Easter Tournament, but boxing classes are organised and held throughout the winter. The Club training night will be fixed later in the year, but at present clases in preparation for the Tournament selections are being held in the gymnasium at 5 o'clock. All students are invited to come along and try themselves out.

Prior to last year we experienced some difficulty in finding Tournament representatives for the heavier weights, but this year we have a galaxy of potential Carneras and Corbetts. A pleasing feature of our training activities is the enthusiasm and sporting spirit in which everyone regards the game. It is no exaggeration to say that this year we shall "ring one of the strongest teams that has ever represented the 'Varsity. Trainer Roy Brien is working very hard, and his opinion is that the coveted Boxing Shield will rest in the Victoria College Hall after Easter. May he be right!

Among the old hands who are eligible this year are Kent, who is now Wellington Provincial Welterweight Champion, Claris, Mart, and Joseph. The new blood includes Armour (Heavy-weight), Ongley, Calder, Chesterton (Light-weights), Kane (Welterweight). Meek and Page ((Light-weights). Murray (Featherweight).
