I -12-. Athletics The standard this year was not what the last four years have led us to expect. More serious training should be indulged in. One cannot expect to run races in record times un less there has been "consistent" training. The jumping showed an improvement, yet curiously enough the Junior Long Jump was again better than the Senior. Mason won both sprints and the 440.being awarded the Hulett Trophy for the latter event. Had he been extended the 440 would have been done in even better time. With more speed off the mark his times will be even better. Thomas S. disappointed in the sprints, but only just failed to equal the High Jump record. Gilliat ran a splendid mile and had plenty of "finish? Consistent training brought its'reward! Dyer created the only record of the day, adding an inch to the Under 15^ High Jump record, fi The Javelin and Discus werientroduced and proved popular events^ Much was learnt from the Durban Athletic Club the previous week. There certainly is a charm about the graceful poise of these events. Reeves won the former and Coutts the latter. %- Thomas J. won both the sprints in the Under 15| division only just boating Spargo on the tape in the 100. Ife has _ an effortless style, but lacks determination.. He outjumped the Seniors in the long jump and set new figures for this evdnt ,(the recorwdas wrongly printed on the programme). Bazle^ ran a most surprisingly good cross-country. »and,followed this"ubpy beating Lowe by a yard in the 880. He ought to do well in the longep distances later. Mrs. Aitchison very kindly presented the prises^ afe the con clusion.
