The under 15 team which started the season with a great deal of very promising material, has had a nr.ost disappointing record. Perhaps the most disturbing factor of all was the fact that in a junior side where fitness should just be taken for granted, and in spite of wonderful training opportunities and facilities, there were so many players who were never really fit enough to give their best for the full duration of a game; some flagging noticeably even before the end ofthe first half. For the sake of next year's senior teams and in their own interest, it is hoped that this well-meant criticism does not go unheeded. G.E.B. INTER-HOUSE 1st Teams: G. beat P. 6-0, beat F. 9-3.

Sports Day was overcast in the morning and, although it did not rain, it was soon apparentthatthe weather would not last throughout the day. During the lunch interval a misty drizzle started, which developed into steady rain throughout the afternoon. Three records were established, all in the morning. On a damp track, D. Syminton set up the excellent time of 10.9 seconds for the Under 15 ICQ yards. The existing time of 1 1.2 seconds had been 311
