Seven champions from last year fought in this year's all-school tournament, but only four of them were successful in defending tlieir championship . These were Julius Ruskin. Jim Flynn. Vito Schiro, and James Dean. Joe I .a Bella, Tony Cuccia, and Ernie Jones were the three who were dethroned. Other Ikittiers who catnr out on top this year were Chris Cunepa, Pete Parini, Joe Di Salvo, ami Woodrow Wilson. An unhappy event after the close of the season, the death of Christopher Cane pa. rather dims the joy of an otherwise happy season. Chris was the flyweight champ, undefeated ill the five bouts lie fought. Pari si ami Schiro were both post-graduates ami as a result only Schiro fought against West, ami his was an exhibition bout. Other men who boxed were Tony Cuccia, Tony (Jcrvasi, and Sam Motisi, and two of these boys. Cuccia and Motisi. drop-ped the only bouts to the West Siders.
