Games Committee and Oxford Cup
from Oct 1951

stand out. We congratulate both of them and thank them for the part they played in gaining us the Work Cup, our outstanding achievement of the year.
Finally, and with regret, we have to say goodbye to a number of old friends, including Kershaw, who has rendered such great service to House and School. We thank him, and indeed all who are leaving us, for all they have done for the House, and we wish them every success in the future.
THE GAMES COMMITTEE
The second meeting of the year was held on Friday, 20th July, when two important resolutions were passed.
Firstly, it was agreed that in future no boater would be allowed to play cricket for his House, and similarly nobody but a boater would be allowed to row for his House.
Secondly, the maximum number of events in which a boy may compete in the Junior Athletic Group was to be raised from two to three, excluding the Relay. These three events, however, were to be restricted to either two track events and one field event or two field events and one track event. Such an arrangement prevents an outstanding boy from monopolising all track or all field events, but at the same time would provide him with valuable experience.
