18 School Sports Day Thursday, March 19th, might have been better named ' Black Thurs- day ' for rain threatened to deluge competitors and spectators alike at any moment. A heavy shower, immediately prior to the first event, left the field wet and slippery, whilst a high wind prevented many new times being recorded on the track. Two high jump records were set up, in Groups A and C respective- ly, a quarter inch being added to the former and an inch and a quarter to the latter, which has stood since 1941. Throughout the competition boys were not allowed to use the orthodox scissor method of jumping, but were compelled to employ the Western Roll or Straddle. Ultimately this will cause new records to be set in the older groups. Another worthy performance was seen in the Junior Relay when the team from Watlington House, who are now old hands at baton changing, clipped the former record of 60.7 by .3 seconds. New records were also established in Group E Pole Vault and Group C Javelin. The only changes made in the programme from previous years were in the length of the hurdles events. Group D Hurdles now com- prises seven flights over a distance of 75 yards and in Grojip E we now have eight flights and 100 yards. This brings the event into line with the inter-school event. The prizes were presented by Mr. Edmund Gibbons. Results. GROUP A 50 yards— I. Profit, 2. Couchman, 3. Hooper. Time 8 sees. Egg and Spoon — 1. Perinchief, 2. Profit, 3. Hooper. High Jump 1.

n7 When our attack got under way, the forwards were slow to take their opportunities. After a 2-2 draw at Dellwood we suffered a crucial 1-0 defeat at home and this game settled the positions of Dellwood and Sal- tus in the League. It only remains for us to hope that the Juniors will pull themselves together and display a better standard next year.
