Western District Public School Defeats American

School by 22-17

Before a large crowd which packed tightly into the S.A.S. gymnasium last night, the Western District Publ School defeated the Shanghai American School by*22 points to 17 in an inter-school boxing contest.

Interest was kept at a high pitch for the points won by the rival schools rose rather evenly until the 6-6 stage was reached. From that point onwards it was the Western District Public School which managed to capture premier honours for the evening.
