Athletic Sports 1— SALTUS SPORTS DAY — MARCH 28th. As soon as the School Boxing had finished, training was switched to Athletics and the School got down to practising in earnest for March 27th. It was clear that several records would be broken, since the age limits were extended by one year in this group. This had been done last year to enable our winning competitors to be entered automatically for the inter- school sports, but at last year ' s meeting few existing school records were broken. This year, however, our athletes settled down quickly, with the result that nine records had been broken and two equalled when the day was over. For training purposes the boys were switched from the orthodox, upright scissors action in high-jump and made to jump in the straddle position. So far it has not paid off ex- ceptionally well, but I am quite sure that another year ' s train- ing will show excellent results. With Warwick Academy holding their sports on the same day, it was not easy for us to obtain all the officials we re- quired, and the afternoon began with a deficit of judges which caused our programme to be somewhat retarded. Our need in the field events department was particularly great, as this year saw the introduction of the pole vault and hop, skip, jump, thus further increasing the task of the field events officials. The weather was neither friend nor foe on the final day, for it threatened to rain and did not, but the wind was blowing strongly, making it very difficult for boys to achieve the best possible standard. We considered ourselves extremely fortun- ate, however, in being able to complete the programme without running for cover on such an overcast afternoon. Prizes at the conclusion of the sports were presented by His Lordship the Bishop of Bermuda. RESULTS GROUP A— 50 Yards: 1 R. R. Doe, 2 P. G. White, 3 D. Clark. 8 sees, (equals record) .
