This Easter the boxing team will be one of the fittest and keenest to go to a Tournament. Nothing will be lost on the score of ability and there is every chance that the team will bring the Boxing Shield back. Ken Coveney has performed a great job in preparing the team with the result that seven very able and confident boxers will represent Victoria this year.

The Bantamweight representative is R. W. Gray, who is particularly fast and clever and is a good candidate for the scientific award.

The Featherweight. D. A. Muir, an aggressive, experienced boxer, has won this weight before and has every chance of repeating that performance.

In the Lightweight division there is a much improved boxer in B. Webb, who fought so well against the winner of the Lightweight last year. This Tournament his boxing will be far superior to his excellent previous form.

Another improved boxer is M. W. Wishart, the Welterweight representative. Winner of this class last year, his subsequent improvement in speed and experience will make him perhaps too formidable to any opponent he may meet at Auckland.

In V. Peters we have a Middle-weight who can punch very hard and whose experience and aggressive spirit gives him an excellent chance in his weight at Auckland.

The Light-heavyweight. E. C. Adams, is very fast for his weight and has a devastating punch in both hands. Fit and hard, he can confidently expect success this Easter.

J. L. Roberts, the Heavyweight, is another former representative who has improved considerably on last year's form, and his size and speed will weigh the balance in his favour this year.

Altogether the team is composed of worthy representatives and there is no doubt that they will acquit themselves very well at Auckland.
