and the former runners-up.
Last night's boxing was very exciting in that at the end of the eighth bout, each side had four wins to their credit and it was therefore left to the heavyweights, Pte. Carroll and Pte. Green, to decide the final issue. The latter won a very good fight
Taken on the whole, however, the standard of boxing dis- played was not exceptionally high, the fighters wasting too much time sparring, when it is remembered that they were all engaged. in short bouts, each one being scheduled for only three rounds.
The best fight of the evening was provided by Pte. Read] ("C" Coy) and Pte. Smith ("HQ.” Wing) in the welter- weight division, when both men stood up to some very crisp boxing.

There were several changes made in the teams; Cpl. Preece did not play, while Lt. Fraser, R.M, and Lt. St. Clair Ford, of the Navy, failed to make an appearance. H. C. Meeke is on the injured list and M. S. Cummings was also an absentee.
Although the teams were fairly well matched on paper, Probables (Colours) were vastly superior to their opponents and proved this inside of the first 10 minutes, when Floyd, their left wing threequarter, crossed White's line on three occasions.
Taken individually, Preece was a definite failure at full-
