The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October, 1920

Welter-weight:

Welter-weight:

Church (O.U.) v. Scott—Church opened the fight with a straight left to Scott's jaw; Scott retaliated with blows to the body. At the end of the round honours were even. Scott started and mixed it in the second round, both men receiving and giving a good deal of punishment. The third round was fast and open, and at the conclusion the referee ordered another round. The fourth round was too much for Scott, and Church obtained a decision.

Gallagher (A.U.C.) v. Combes (C.U.C.)—In the first round Combes got home a couple of lefts to Gallagher's jaw which made his opponent dizzy. The second and third rounds were uninteresting, as both seemed to be watching each other closely. Combes obtained the verdict.

Evans (O.U.) v. Hutchison (V.U.C.)—Hutchison started the offensive early in the first round and Evans showed no inclination to get out of the way. Both men were getting in some good work, but at the sound of the gong Hutchison was leading. The second round proved as fast and open as the first. In the beginning of the third round Evans was very groggy. However, he made a remarkable recovery, and for the last two minutes put up a great fight. Hutchison was declared the winner.

Hutchison (V.U.C.) v. Combes (C.U.C.)—Final: From the outset this fight was uninteresting, consisting mainly of clinches. Hutchison established an early lead and maintained it. Hutchison the winner.
