The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1931

Boxing Club

Boxing Club

Prove their religion orthodox
By apostolic blows and knocks.

S. Butler.

With the 1932 Tournament looming up, it behoves all the sporting clubs at V.U.C. to strive to the utmost to offer the strongest opposition as possible to our visitors from the other Colleges.

As to boxing, Victoria College has the material to regain the Shield lost to Otago, but this can be accomplished only by long preparation and solid training. It has been the custom for boxers to train assiduously for a week or two prior to the Tournament. That this is not sufficient is well exemplified by the results of the last Tournament, when two of our New Zealand Blues were defeated and only one weight was captured.

Boxing Blues were awarded to the following for 1931:—J. K. Logan, W. C. Hart, J. B. Kent, A. R. Cramond, C. N. Armstrong and M. E. Mahoney. The 1931 Tournament has been fully reported e!s2where.

We hasten to add a word of thanks to our instructor, Mr. Roy Brien, who is a friend as well as a very capable teacher. Finally, we chronicle our own crying need for a heavyweight. There is no dearth of big men at the College, yet we went to the 1931 Tournament without a representative in the heavyweight division.
