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.

School Boxing — February 20, 1953 Entries for the Boxing were this year somewhat smaller than they have been in the past and preliminaries were concluded in one afternoon v.ith the fifty contestants being reduced to twenty-six. To give more variety to the spectators, we decided to mix the bouts, instead of following the previous method of working through the weight groups, from the tiny boys of less than sixty-one pounds to the Heavy- weight division, where young giants of two hundred pounds met. This system seemed to meet with all-round approval. One bout was unfortunately reduced to a mere stop-gap, as the absence of V. Minich, in the under 68 lbs. division, prevented the usual competition from taking place.
