Middleweight, class A: Trillo beat Mount joy. School championship: Covcny beat McLennan. In this bout Coveny was giving away 421 b., and it took all his skill to keep his opponent off.

School medal for gamest display by a loser: B. Synnott.
Boxing Shield for teams’ aggregate: Trojan team (leader, B. Synott).
