ATHLETICS, 1975 STANDARDS

The keen and lively interest in athletics and the inter-house standards competition, was reflected in the fact that all but one House managed to better their 1974 result. This improvement in standards is clearly illustrated by the last three years' results.

SPORTS

Despite poor weather conditions for the Inter-House Athletic Sports the following School records were broken.

C. J. Hirst of Temple set a new 1,500 m. time of 4 mins. 24.0 secs.

R. C. Barker (Queen's) won the Intermediate High Jump with a new record jump of 1 m. 59 cm.

C. Bean, also of Queen's, won the Junior Long Jump with a new mark of 4 m. 67 cm.

The Athletics Shield was virtually a walk-over for Temple who amassed 941 points—nearly 30 points clear of their nearest rivals, Queen's, who had 65 points. Their victory was thanks mainly to their senior boys who made a clean sweep of all the athletic trophies.
