- Feather: R. Akel.
- Light: R. J. Meek.
- Welter: R. W. Edgley.
- Middle: D. J. Boswell.
- Light-Heavy: J. Ilott.
- Heavy: A. H. Armour.
J. M. Lennie was selected to fight bantam weight, but owing to an injury received in training was unable to make the trip.
Boswell, Ilott and Armour each won their respective weights, while the other three were narrowly defeated in very close contests. N.Z. University Blues were awarded to the first three. The success of the team was due to regular and thorough attention to training and to the etnhusiasm of our trainer, Roy Brien, whose interest resulted in our men entering the ring in perfect physical condition.
The third Annual College Tournament was held in the first term, in the Wellington College Gym., and was successful in every respect. About a dozen bouts were held, in which a consistently good standard of boxing was witnessed. The trophy for the most scientific boxer, generously donated by Mr. Kean, was awarded to D. J. Boswell.
A cup for annual competition between Weir House and the rest of the University has been generously presented to the Club by Mr. B. R. Bliss, and the first contest for this trophy will be held in the first term of 1936. This cup should have the effect of considerably increasing the interest in boxing at the College.
