9 e if fa. Q. Whitehouse wins The Hundred .mt is Tug-O-Var Unrehearsed ATHLETICS Sports training was started much earlier this year. ln an attempt to make sports training more general a system of standards, was inaugurated. For six weeks prior to Sports Day boys attempted to reach set standards in each of the running and field events. These standards were set at the 1nean.', as far as was possible. Those who attained their standards were helping their Houses, as the totals were counted into the Sports Day aggregate, Though not many records were broken under this scheme, it must be remembered that its primary purpose was to encourage those boys who were specialists to broaden. and those who would normally neyer bother. to attempt. the eyents concerned. It is probable that much of the fitness and efficiency shown in the Triangular Track and Field Nleet. reported later in this magazine, was due to this innovation. J.S.G. J , 1 Q
