The entries in the field day this year were many, and, after all, that is what makes such an event a success. Many of the boys might well be mentioned, but on account of limited space, the best we can do is to extend our congratulations to all who competed and our thanks to the teachers who planned the day and acted as officials. Board of Education Games At the Board of Education Games, the Humberside Track Team proved its superiority over those from the other schools of the city by taking first place with 54 points. Bloor, our great rival in every field of sport, came second with 33 points. Ontario Championslziips By winning a first or second at the Toronto and District Meet in Iune, fourteen Humberside boys qualified to compete in the Gntario Championships. The finals were held on August the 23rd at Kingston and the Humberside team again upheld the Garnet, Grey and White. Lester Bissel gave the most outstanding performance when he just missed breaking the junior Pole-vault. Art Speare captured two seconds in the hundred and quarter, Jack Milling, Alex Robertson, and Bill Leachman won seconds in the high, H220 yards, and mile respectively. Milwaukee The team from Humberside, coached by Mr. McLellan, which travelled to Milwaukee to compete against the best relay teams from the high schools of the United States as well as the famed Hamilton Collegiate team, did not do as well as last year's, but was far from being outclassed. According to a ruling of 'the Athletic Commission in charge of the meet, Hamilton and Humberside were forced to compete in the open division, rather than the one closed to High Schools. However, in the half-mile relay composed of Speare, McKillop, Halls and Leachman, Humberside ran fourth against some fifteen or sixteen teams. The mile team placed fourth against as great opposition. Speare, Halls, Robertson and Leachman formed this team. In the two-mile relay, where each man ran a half, Halls, Agnew, Henderson and Robertson put up a good race. Curly Evans proved to be the hard-luck man on the trip. He tied for third in the pole-vault after a hard fight and then lost the 'ftoss-upf' which meant that he took fourth place. ' jack Milling competed in the high jump but had to be satisfied with fifth after a gruelling contest of over three hours. The man who made it possible for the track team to make this trip was Mr. Lynch of the Runnymede, while Mr. Livingston, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Leachman also contributed. The Ontario Athletic Commission made a splendid donation which was greatly appreciated and without which some of the boys would have had to miss this fine experience. Besides giving a donation of money, the Commission sent Mr. Knox to aid Mr. McLellan in getting the team into shape. Rowing Bow side, in! snapped out the coxswain. Stroke side, in!
