Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 7 April 27, 1938

Welterweight

Welterweight.

Arnott. V.U.C. v. Macdonald. A.U.C.

This bout was marred by clinching and holding, and the pair appeared at times to be very much in love with each other. In the little sparring that was done Arontt was the aggressor and was superior at infighting. He won the decision on his attacking ability.

In the final against McFadzen of Otago Arnott gave an improved display, although he was beaten by a better boxer. His aggressive tactics had McFadzen considerably troubled, while he also had the referee worried and antagonised by showing a natural tendency to hit with the open hand. McFndzen owed the decision to superior long range boxing.
