X team of Tariki boxers failed to lift (he Morse Cup from Ihe Miramar Box ing Club in a challenge match on Tuesday night, writes the special corres- . pondent of the Taranaki Daily News. Each team won three bouts, Tariki one by default, and Miramar, being lhe holder, retained the trophy. The tournament, was productive of , spirited boxing throughout. All the ( Tariki contestants fought well. Special i interest attached to the bout in which j Arbuthnot, the Olympic Games representative, fought L. Huzziff (Tariki). ] As expected, Arbuthnot won, but his < opponent gave a splendid exhibition. J The results arc:—■ 1 R. Huzziff, 7.7 (Tariki ), beat E. 1 White, 7.El (Miramar). Neither boxer I got warmed Io his job, although the s boxing was clean. The Tariki bo.v ? scored well with his lefts in the early rounds and showed clever footwork. G. Marshall, 8.12 (Miramar), beat P. Huzziff, 9.4 (Tariki). It was a lively bout. Marshall was the more scientific and a faster boxer, winning every round. He used both fists to advantage, whereas Huzziff wasted many of his punches. T. Troy, 11.11 (Miramar) beat R. Kumball, 11.10 (Tariki). 'The decision did not meet with complete approval. Troy found difficulty in getting through his opponent’s long reach in £ Ihe opening round, but in the succeed- n ing rounds punished Rumball, who s missed a lot. C. Gishard, 9.12 (Tariki) beat M. a Wareham, 9.7 (Miramar). Both box- p ers exchanged blows freely in a spirited bout, the decision being close. Gishard was the cleaner boxer. T. Arbuthnot, 10.5 (Miramar) beat L. Huzziff, .10.1 (Tariki), New Zealand 's Olympic welterweight representative was too clever for his Tariki opponent, getting his punches in with cannon-like precision. Huzziff distinguished himself as easily the cleverest of the Tariki foam. He led in the first round ami kept Arbuthnot busy A throughout. ” t< Reid (Miramar; defaulted to Roguski (Tariki). R t] star.
