The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921

Feather-Weights

Feather-Weights.

Jeune (C.U.C.), 8 st. 12 lb v. Meltzer (V.U.C.), 8 st. 6 lb.

The first bout of the feather-weight class was between Jeune and Meltzer. In the first round Meltzer showed an inclination to smother up and then wade into his man. Jeune boxed more cautiously than Meltzer, but both missed chances. At the close of the third round Meltzer tired considerably, and Jeune obtained the decision.

Kennedy (O.U.), 8 st. 10 lb, drew a bye, but to even matters up fought three rounds with a local man.

In the final Jeune fought better than he did against Meltzer, and kept Kennedy moving the whole time. Jeune did most of the offensive work, but did not seem to have condition to enable him to follow up his advantage. Kennedy won.
