HIGH SCHOOL BOXING
ASSOCIATION INTERESTED. At last night's meeting of the Spoils and Pastimes Club, Iho chairman (Mr. J. W. McMillan) moved that it be a recommendation to the committee to endeavour to foster boxing at the High School. There were men in the room well qualified to give the boys instruction. It would put the club in a good light. They needed amateur bouts, and matches between High School boys would be a good draw. Mr. Skoglund supported the idea. They were not always going to get first-class professional bouts, and the amateurs must be brought on. Tie understood a boxing school was to he. opened in Stratford and the club should be able to spare funds to send him down.to tho High School. Mr. T. Kirkwood said New- Plymouth High School had a boxing tourney of its own, and such tourneys could be held merely on permission from a Boxing Association arid without the body then being registered. The recommendation was agreed to.
