H. E. PERRIN. Secretary. KEEN CONTESTS FOR WAKEFIELD BOXING TROPHIES HALTON CAMP, Wendover, was last week the scene of the annual contest for the Boxing trophies presented by Sir Charles Waken eld. Competition was keener than ever and that the contest is looked fofward to with considerable consideration is very apparent from the all-round improvement in style exhibited at this year's event. Some really smart bouts were seen in the Team Championship, and the entries were so numerous and the boxing so good that it was neces- sary to keep going on Wednesday, the first day, until midnight, to prepare for the semi-finalists on Thursday morning A start was then made at 9 a.m. in order that the finalists might get a breathing stretch before taking the ring again. Two points were throughout noticeably good : the boxing of the novices and the remarkably fine condition of the entrants, almost without exception ; moreover, there was no playing at it. Convincing blows were given and taken freely with the very best temper and after some of the many " pro- fessional" exhibitions which have been such a feature of the landscape, the absence of holding on, wrestling and similar tactics was a very striking contrast for those who go to see and like to see boxers box. The Wakefield Trophies look as if they were bringing out all that is best in the young and promising aspirants for honour, in which the R.A.F. seem to be so very wealthy. Throughout, "the proceedings ran without a hitch, without question due to the admirable organisation of the tournament, in the hands of Flight Officer Smith, the lightweight champion of the R.A.F., assisted by Flight Officer F. W. Sherriff, M.C., the light- heavyweight champion, the latter also being responsible for the Hon. Secretaryship of the Association. Both trophies were won by Halton Camp, the officers scoring 17 points to 12 by Henlow, and the other ranks scoring 51J points, which was more than double that of Uxbridge, who were second. In the officers' competitions, the entries were not over heavy, although quality was in strong evidence in the absence of quantity. The results were as follows :— Officers.
