ATHLETICS The desperate measures taken to achieve something in the 1963 season can still be clearly remembered-at least all the main events were held, and the Bootham match and Sports Day itself brought to light the relative merit of our star performers. This year, unhappily for some, the reverse was the case and the season fizzled out with the cancellation of both the Bootham match and Sports Day, thus leaving many speculations unanswered. Of some consolation was the fact that both the Cross-country Race and Junior Long Run were held without interruption. With the 100% success, both team and individual, of The Grove in these events, a record was established which will be hard to emulate.
INTER-HOUSE CROSS-COUNTRY RACE The Goodburn Cup-Monday, 10th February A closely contested match took place between The Grove and Temple, and probably only through the absence of J. C. H. Wright (T.), one of the hot favourites, did The Grove succeed in winning by 9 points. R. J. D. Wilson (G.) won comfortably in the average time of 24 min. 0.5 sec. in conditions which were reasonably good. RESULT 1 R. J. D. Wilson (G.), 2 I. B. Robertson (T.), 3 C. W. Clegg (S.H.), 4 J. J. Vooght (G.), 5 D. Hillaby (S.H.), 6 A. D. Bailey (T.), 7 N. G. Pace (R.), 8 C. S. M. Dew (G.), 9 equal P. W. Brown (M.) and I. L. Holmes (M.), 11 R. A. Peacock (T.), 12 J. A. Eatough (R.).
