FEATHER-WEIGHT SPARRING.F. P. Clement, '88, H. D. Cheever, '88. Clement led off for Cheever's head but his blows were dodged by the latter, who got in a round shot on Clements' body. Clement, however, soon found an opening, and sent in a rushing blow with his right on Cheever's jaw. The second round was rather tame, neither receiving any punishment. In the third round Clement led off finely, following up quickly with his right, and succeeded in planting several blows on Cheever's face and body before the latter seemed to know what...
MIDDLE WEIGHT SPARRING.First bout, F. C. Weld, '86, 153 1-2 lbs., and J. R. Thomas, '88, 157 lbs. Both men sparred cautiously during the first round and the honors were about even.

The latter, however, dodged and ducked very cleverly, and at this same time planted his right and left repeatedly on Woodman's face. The round was so closely contested that the judges were unable to come to any decision, and another round of one minute's length was required...

The second round was marked by hard hitting, both men showing much science in leading and countering. The third round was also hotly contested, both men showing fine staying power. McAllister rallied in fine form towards the close of the round, and was awarded...
...make the other meetings run more smoothly. First of all, there was very apparent want of activity on the part of the stewards and "ushers," except in getting in everybody's light. There was no one to summon the contestants in sparring at the beginning of each round. This made it necessary for the referee, Mr. O'Reilly to do this himself, something which we have never seen done at a winter meeting before, and hope never to see again. The idea of the stewards standing idly about, and allowing the oldest gentleman acting as an officer to do their...
