Schofield, W. Summers, D. Vucinich. Boxing Myron Schall - Coach The Aggie boxing team had a rather unsuccessful year with the only bright spot being the performance of the team in the For Western Boxing Tournament at Chico. lniuries to key performers in the small but game squad caused the cancellation of four early season matches, and the year was one of outstanding individual performances rather than team performance. The first match of the season found the Aggie mittsters dropping a 7 to 3 decision to the Golden Gators of San Francisco State College. In the winnerg circle for the Aggies were Lechner, Richardson, and Niboli. The next match of the year found the Mustangs hosting Chico and dropping a 6 to 4 verdict.
