The Freshmen pummelled their way to victory last night in the final rounds of the University boxing tournament at the Indoor Athletic Building before an oager audience of over 300. Although there were no knockouts, each bout was packed with plenty of dynamite.

Alex Early 11, started off the final bouts by gaining a decision over Freeman Koo '42 in the 115 pound class. Koo, in spite of the fact that he had five years less experience than his opponent, put up a tough scrap.
