K.O.S.B. INTER-COMPANY BOXING TOURNEY.
SEMI-FINAL AND FINAL BOUTS LAST NIGHT,
HEADQUARTER WINGS WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP.
[BY BANTAM.]
Quite a high, standard of boxing was seen last night at the Murray Barracks when the intercompany contests of the King's Own Scottish Borderers were staged. There were many military and naval officers present and a large number of civilians includ, ing several ladies.
The fights, on the whole, showed much improvement over last year's bouts. There was plenty of hard and healthy slogging, the Outstanding fight of the evening being that between L/Cpl. Palmer. and Bdmo. McConnell in the Bantamweight class. Both lads wers" as pugnacions as bulldogs.
The Championship this year was captured by the 'Head- quarteri Wings after a bard battin
Before presenting the cup to the winning company, Lieut. -Ċel. Comyn said that that tournament saw some well-fought and in- teresting fights, and the standard of boxing had shown much im- provement. There was plenty of lean fighting and he congratulated Headquarters on capturing the trophy this year. They deserved it, having been given a good run for their money by the "A" and “C” Companies, This was as it should be because last year the chara pionship went to "C" Company and the year before last it went to B Company. It was good to see the cup going round.
In conclusion, the speaker thanked the judges and referees and also the Boxing Committee for their excellent organisation.
The Judges and other officials were Capt. A. J. L. Whyte, Mr. H. G. Sheldon, Mr. A. Murdoch, Et. A.. H. Kelley and Capt. A.
C. Dobbie.
