Boxers Boastful

By reason of experience and longer training, the Victoria team should this year achieve greater. If not the greatest, success in the University noble art. With Billy Hedberg once more as trainer and coach, the members will see that the last of those four rounds is not the longest.

In the heavyweight division, John Roberts, with six foot plus, has the strength and ability to see himself to the top. He is a former WBC champion, and hard training this year should place him there.

George Doole, light heavyweight, is quick and has a solid punch which will leave no doubt with his opponent.

C. A. MacLeod has the fitness which is the first requisite. He is shaping nicely in training.

In the welterweight class, a skilled fighter-boxer. Mervyn Wishart, is the representative. With his practical training and proved experience, he is a Murphy in the making.

Brian Webb is the lightweight representative. By scoring a T.K.O. in the Town Hall a fortnight ago, he proves his ability and should be in at the finish.

Allan Young will once more contest for the featherweight division, and is now a tried boxer. In a recent Town Hall preliminary he almost took the decision from the Wellington champion. This experience should help him to add another year to his NZU honour.

In the bantamweight no representative was forthcoming. With his trainer's advice. Evan Watts should make the grade in this weight.
