29 the Sports would have to be postponed as heavy rain was falling, but the sun broke through, and conditions were ideal. Prior to Sports Day, Hayward broke the Group C. Javelin by more than 20 feet, and also the Pole Vault record. Couper set a new time for the Group D. mile, while Outerbridge 2 put the shot a record; distance of 34 ft. 7 ins. for Group D. A new time for Group E, 220 yds. in 25 seconds was made by Cassidy. Other new records were made by Wooten, Group B. Javelin; Couper 880 yards Group D; Ferguson Group A. 50 yds; Outerbridge 2 Group D. Hop-Skip- Jump; Smith Group E. Javelin; and Williams 2 Group E. Pole Vault. The last named is Pole Vaulting in good style, and will improve his height of 8 ft. 5% ins. by a good margin. Some exciting races were witnessed, Group E. mile especially so. Williams 2, set a good pace, and held a lead until the last 200 yjards, when Chlappa, timing his effort nicely, just won at the tape. Smith came very near to the High Jump record, but failed by V2 inch. Using ' straddle ' style to begin with he changed to ' siccors ' for his best jump. He will improve on 5 ft. 4 ins. if he continues with the ' straddle . Valuable assistance was rendered by the following gentlemen: Messrs. H. E. Evans, P. S. Welch, C. E. H. Cooper, J. S. Outerbridge, P. Gosling, T. Vesey, D. Measures, H. Masters, J. Barritt, R. Doe, M. Godet, K. Davis, M. Cooper and S. Gassoigne. Mr. D. J. Williams was the referee and the prizes were presented by the Rev. E. M. Rule. ATHLETIC SPORTS RESULTS. GROUP A 50 yds. — 1. Ferguson, 2. Hayward, 3. Clark Time 7.7 sees. High Jump — 1. Anderson, 2.

28 Inter-School Boxing March 4th., 1955 The Inter-School Boxing Competition this year was held at Saltus, with Saltus, Warwick, Whitney, Dellwood, St. George ' s and Sandys taking part. After the preliminary rounds Saltus emerged with eight finalists. Probably there would have been more except that a few boys failed to go to the weigh-in. M. Mayne once again displayed the ferocity of his punching, and while his opponent was taller and heavier, this did not deter him in any way. R. Lines, in contrast, gave an exhibition of boxing skill showing that not only could he attack well, but also deferkd. In the heavy-weights G. Cook was most unfortunate in the Under 140 lbs. division. He was winning his bout easily, when he was hit by the head of his opponent in the eye which very quickly became swollen. The referee, Mr. D. J. Williams, was forced to stop the contest. P. Grayson gave a courageous showing against Fisher of Warwick who was heavier and a more experienced boxer. J. Bothelho was the winner of the Over 155 lbs. division, being unchallenged. Mr. W. D. Measures presented the trophies. FINALISTS: Under 61 lbs. R. Simmons (Sandys) v J. Cooper (Saltus) Under 68 lbs. R. Pedro (Dellwood) v S. Brown (Warwick) Under 75 lbs. R. Mello (Saltus) v J.
