THE BRENTONIAN THIS YEAR, as in the past years, we have seen a steady improvement in the calibre of the Track and Field events. Track seems to have become a major sport in the school this year, although hampered by a short season. Every boy who entered the events on Sports Day was known to have put an enthusiastic effort into his training. This boded well for future years. Also the fact stands that there is an abundance of ability in the Junior School this year, which will undoubtedly build a strong track team for the next few years. INTER-HOUSE SPORTS DAY The annual Inter-House sports were held at the School on .Saturday, May 28th., before a large gathering of spectators. It was a fine day and the track was in good condition. Many very good performances were turned in, and no less than four school records were broken, including two that were set nearly fifteen years ago. R. G. Lewis broke both the latter, running the Hurdles in 15 :2-5 seconds and setting a new record in the High Jump of 5 feet d 1 2 inches. In the Long Jump F. G. McMahon bettered his own mark of 19 feet 8 inches last year, to jump 21 feet 1 inch, while the Lower House Relay team, consisting of Lewis, McMahon I, Hanson I and Murray, set a new record of 1 :12 in the Inter-House Relay Race. Other interesting and fine performances were turned in by Dunlop I who came from the Junior events to take the 880 yards Open in fine fashion, by Lovett who won the Junior High Jump at 4 feet 10 inches and by McCarthy who won the Inter- mediate 440 yards from his much larger opponents.

An encouraging number of neophytes developed gratifying keeness as the term wore on, and in addition to those beginners who were chosen to play in matches, there were several more who would have been given their turns on the XI had we been able to arrange one or two more fixtures. Their time will come next year. Two pleasing features this season were first, the interest shown by several of the seniors, and the assistance and coaching they so freely gave, and second, the evidence that the idea of Playing Cricket is growing along with skill in the game — this is Cricket. The gasoline shortage and so many other activities in the various Schools combined to limit us to three fixtures, but these were thoroughly enjoyable, as we knew they would be. 16-5-45 Colts vs. Glenlyon School away, lost 30-31. 30-5-45 Colts vs. St. Michael ' s School home, won 66-43. 13-6-45 Colts vs. Glenlyon home, lost 43-50.
