Stoefen won his way through to become the new indoor champion. Score...

...knockouts and the defeat of a defending champion marked the preliminary matches in the University Boxing Championship held in the Indoor Athletic Building last night. The upset of the evening was furnished by Simmon J. Seder '36, who displayed unexpected power by defeating the defending champion, Edwin C. Ihrig 2L, in one of the 125-pound bouts. Peter B.
