earlier than that of Queen's, the latter house managed four of the first ten which clinched the trophy for them. Though the winner's time was a full two minutes outside the record, due to the weather conditions, D. A. J. Thomas ran a very creditable 24m. 38.8 seconds. TEAM SCORES

THE JUNIOR LONG RUN The Junior Competition was favoured with better weather and much drier conditions than the Senior. This was fortunate for the spectators who witnessed a very fine and close finish and for some of the back runners in a field of 183—the largest number to take part so far. The outright winner was A. B. Tuck (Temple) in a time of 18m. 2.5 secs., who just managed to cross the line before A. R. M. Johnson (Queen's) in such a close race that the last 250 metres were run neck and neck ! In the team trophy, as with last season, Queen's just managed to hold off the challenge of The Manor to hold first place. RESULTS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

RUGGER, 1976-77 FIRST XV Six wins and seven defeats in School matches is a modest record, but it is better than had seemed likely in October. Lack of Rugger the previous Easter term was a particular handicap this season. The few old colours were slow to hit form, and the welcome improvement of several unlikely candidates only later became apparent. When eventually we moulded a team, it was quite a good one. Only Leeds and Ampleforth, two exceptional teams, really outclassed us, and it is significant that we were the only team other than these two to beat a vintage Giggleswick side. 57
