INTER-HOUSE JUNIOR LONG RUN
Saturday, 16th March In contrast to the involvement on the rugger fields, the Junior Long Run brings to the fore athletes in a different light. This year's result was no exception, and many of those who excelled have seldom been seen to any great effect on the rugby field. The winner, G. Noble, was a ready-made favourite, having been fifth last year, while R. C. Barker (Q.) in sixth position was the leader amongst first year boys. Queen's romped home with the team event with the Grove a plucky second. RESULT 1. G. Noble (G.), 2. A. Hodgson (G.), 3. F. T. Abbey (Q.), 4. R. H. Taylor (M.), 5. N. E. R. Brown (Q.), 6. R. C. Barker (Q.), 7. D. A. J. Thomas (Q.), 8. A. J. Wright (It.), 9. M. M. Christelow (M.), 10. R. J. Thorpe (Q.). Time 16 min. 56.0 sec. .

RUGBY FIRST XV
It was a strange season. We only won four of our nine school matches,
and yet it was a good team—well above average. Again, all the victories were away —we had only one away defeat. Because of the building work we were not able to use the 1st XV pitch until November.. As usual, the team was slow to start, perhaps reflecting our handicap in team building without Easter Term rugger above Under 15. We had a plague of injuries : last season's scrum-half, Elwen, was out for the season; Scott and Clayburn for a large part; Baggs and Spencer for several games. A strange season then, but at its best a fine one, with great esprit de corps and some exciting rugger. Unfortunately the weather robbed us of two of our fixtures when we were in our best form. BIDGOOD. Became a sound, and often spectacular full back. He was awarded the Morris - McGrath Trophy for the most improved player in the School. 31
