22 For Group D, Smith did very well in setting two new records in the High Jump and the Long Jump — 18 ' 4i and 5 ' 2 respectively. Among the other noteworthy performances in Group D Williams and Durrell fought out for first place in the Pole Vault — in the end Williams cleared 7 ' 10 to set up another new record. For Group E Cassidy was an outstanding performer and set up two new records in the Shot Put and the 100 yards Hurdles — in the former he Put a distance of 37 ' 5 and in the 100 yards Hurdles he clocked 14.6 sees. A much improved athlete in Group E this year is Bailey who set up a new record in the Hop Step and Jump with a Jump of 38 ' IIV2 , thereby breaking the old record by 5 ' 2V2 . This year saw another change in the abolition of the Victor Ludorum Trophy — boys are restricted to three events only. The Cup for the best all round Athlete this year was presented to Cassidy in Group E and in Group D the Cup was presented to Berridge. The prizes were presented by B. T. Gosling.

Cricket 1953 March 1954. Junior Colts and Colts. Undoubtedly the feature of the 1953 cricket season was the appearance of a new spirit of interest in the junior part of the school. This interest can, I think, be attributed to two causes: (1) the presence of a highly qualified cricket coach. (2) the arrangement of a regular series of inter-school matches. The improvement, particularly in the bowling and fielding depart- ments, effected by Mr. Watson, was most noticeable, especially when one considers the time at his disposal in a season cut short by the demands of the Inter School Sports and punctuated by frequent holidays. Mr. Watson would, I am sure, be the first to admit that the advance in batting technique was by no means so marked. There are a number of reasons for this, of which the most important is the general unsuit- ability of concrete wickets for boys of this age, at any rate for those who are seeking to play cricket, as opposed to a modified form of Softball. There is also the difficulty of arranging sufficient net prac- tice when one is dealing with groups of 25 to 30 boys. The system of group coaching, introduced by Mr. Watson, m ust inevitably fail to
