.- . n c 'h u C . a 1 v n . n - . . . n CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE Arey and Bridge Clash in a Furious Mill for the Toothpick-Weight Title of M. H. S. AREY WINS . a u w HE swift, Whirlwind bout between Slugger Bridge and ttK. 0. Arey for the Toothpick-Weight Title of the school is one which will live long in the history of M. H. S. The fight was a thriller from the first tap 0f the bell to the Ten! which spelt defeat for Bridge. Bridge, of an enviable reputation as a boxer, put up a plucky scrap against defeat when the tide turned against him in the fifth round, while Arey, unheralded, unknown and without reputation, sprang a big surprise and, by a beauti- ful display of headwork, footwork, and boxing, fanned the prancing Bridge to sleep in the seventh. Arey's victory was a great surprise to everyone. Bridge was well trained, skillful and experienced, while, apparently, Arey possessed none of these essentials to a boxer. That is where the surprise came. Arey was well trained, was skillful, and undoubtedly had had great experience. Mr. Peoples refereed the bout and Hadden and Lyons were Arey,s men, while Toepke and French performed like duties for Bridge. The bout was scheduled to go ten rounds for a decision, the winner to take the title. Bridge entered the ring at 8.12, a 5 to 1 favorite. He wore a cardinal and tan sash, proclaiming his assertion that he was uChamp of the school. He was in the pink of condition, and a great ovation was given him by the fans. Arey entered at 8.14 and was also well received, especially by the Seniors. Areyis condition was a sur- prise to all. He appeared as hard as nails and ready for the combat. The ring was cleared and the gong tapped at 8.18. 40-? '2' FIGHT BY ROUNDS First Roundeoth men met in the center of the ring at the tap of the bell and a minute of light sparring followed, each man feeling out the strength of his opponent. Bridge soon took the aggressive. He dove below a straight left for his jaw and landed a series of stinging left and right hooks. Arey uppercutted viciously, causing Bridge to break his infighting. Bridge again bored, using both hands to advantage, and Arey gave back. Bridge rushed, but Arey stood up to him, and a herce toe-to-toe fight ensued. Bridge broke out of it and Arey rushed him swiftly. Another mix-up followed. Bridge again broke and stepped back. Arey closed in, driving home several hard hooks to the heart and stomach. ,Bridge clinched. 101
