Two extra periods were run off before Walker won on a time decision. Freedman, in the 125 pound bout, easily defeated his opponent. The Union were the victors in the next struggle when Pappas defeated Michelson in a double overtime bout. The 145 pound match went to the University when the alertness of Karelita gave him a time decision over Wuote. The next bout between Cole...
