The Inter-House Boxing Finals took place on Saturday, March 16th. The heats were decided on the previous Thursday, but only five fights had to be boxed off. Nothing very important happened, although Ping boxed well against Cheong, who did a lot of attacking.

In the finals the School House had twelve representatives, the Rise eleven, and the Day Boys three. Thus it was obviously going to be decided between the School House and the Rise. Some excellent boxing was seen, and it was generally agreed that the standard was higher than in other years. Sgt.-Major Puddick must be congratulated on the amount of hard work he put into his boxing classes. It is chiefly due to him that the School boxing has shown such an improsement in the past three years.

Among the lightweights, T. W. Walters, R. T. Wolf, and J. T. Brockbank showed us some good boxing. Later, N. A. Newman and P. D. Johnstone boxed well, and the last fight, between S. K. Kazerooni and P. N. Baines, proved to he both interesting and exciting.

Dr. Blair, 0.P., again very kindly showed his interest in the School boxing by refereeing the fights. He was able to present his own cup, the " Blair " Cup, to the School House, who proved victors with 7 points. The Rise came second with 4 points, and the Day Boys third with 2 points.
