A crowd of 6,000 watched the Public and Thomas Hanbury School retain the championship, scoring 150 points and defeating their closest rival, St. Francis Xavier's College who made 118%. The Public School for Chinese finished third with 113 points. The champions gained their success through consistently placing athletes in every event, and whereas their number of first honours was comparatively small, they were able to Score numerous second, third, and fourth places. This time the new quotient system is introduced and it is difficult to make predictions regard to the championships.
