BOXING TOURNAMENT

Three college champions, Robinson, Bessette, and Gardner, successfully defended their titles and a former title-holder, Thees, regained his position in the college championship boxing tournament held in Alumni Gymnasium for the benefit of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. This was the seventh annual tournament which Coach Shevlin's pupils have staged for the hospital's benefit.

The features of the evening were the final bout in the heavyweight division, and an exhibition bout between K. P. Coykendall '25, three times winner of the college welterweight title, and B. L. Barde '27, national amateur welterweight champion.

J. R. Parrott '29 was the winner of the lightweight championship, defeating E. R. Jones '28 and J. E. Nichols '27. L. Robinson '28 defeated H. H. Schneppel '28 and I. Rubin '28 in retaining his claim to the featherweight championship. In the welterweight class J. D. Thees, who held the championship in 1924, regained the title by defeating R. M. Walsh '29. The middleweight final was won by P. A. Harper '26, and the light-heavyweight bout by E. S. Bessette '28, who had won the title last year. The heavyweight final was won by D. W. Gardner '27, defending champion, against whom H. A. Wallace, Jr. '28, champion two years ago, was pitted.
