20 in the under 155 lbs — in this bout it was a case of a very tough fighter against a very clever Boxer. We were once again given valuable assistance by Mr, D. J. Williams, Mr. H. Evans, Mr. S.

This year was, however, disappointing and we only managed 3 decisions in the whole evening — this did not however reflect upon the contestants as they really put on a first class show for the School. Luck was however against us in many ways that night — Mayne was unfortunate enough to fracture his finger during the Preliminaries,

On the night of Friday the 26th. the School Hall was packed to capacity and the spectators enjoyed a good evening ' s sport. All the contestants were evenly matched and all bouts were hard and well fought. Among the most noteworthy was the one between Lines and Spurling at 86 lbs — in this Spurling was awarded the ' School Prize for the best sportsman. Among the most feared of Boxers was of course Majme, who proved much too tough for Dixon. During the Preliminaries Goodner succeeded in lasting three rounds with Mayne, which was a very fine performance. In the Seniors Cartwright showed great promise as a cool and clever Boxer, while Botelho showed great promise in defeating Cassidy

Botelho (Saltus) School Sports Day This year ' s Athletic Season proved to be a very satisfactory one and as a climax on the School Sports Day 13 new records were set up. The actual standard of Athletics was high, the House spirit was keen throughout the entire season and every boy made the maximum effort possible for his House. Among the most noteworthy performances Harrison set up two new records in Group B. In the Long Jump he cleared 13 ' 6 and in the High Jump 4 ' 31 2 . For Group C Godet set up two new records in the Sprints, clocking 12.3 and 2SA sees, in the 100 yards and 220 yards respectively. His Long Jump performance on ' Sports Day was however a disappointment and he only reached 15 ' 3% , while in practice he had consistently cleared 15 ' 10 which would have been a new school record. New records for Group D were set up in the Field Events rather than on the Track although the Sprinting was as good as ever. In this aspect Berridge did extremely well and was always conscientious about his training.
