A formally dressed gallery of about 400 saw G. W. take a 5-to-1 decision over Manhattan in boxing but it was little to cheer about. Four of the bouts were won by forfeit. Harry Kleimsn outpointed John Ryan in the feather- weight class for George Washington's only earned victory, and Capt. Ed Fitz- patrick scored for Manhattan over Leo Coveleskie in the lightweight division.
