PROMISING RUNNERS compete The St. Andrew’s College annual athletic sports were held at the College grounds on Saturday. The weather was cold, and the rain Which fell during the afternoon made it advisable to postpone all except running eVents until some time this week. The track was in good order, but much slower than on some previous occasions and the times were not fast. The meeting was marked by good even performance in senior, intermediate, and junior grades, and showed that St. Andrew’s College will have competitors right up to standard to call on for the next few years. D. A. Ferguson won the hundred yards sprint in llsec. The 220 yards produced a very prom'sing young ruhner in G. A. Shuster, whose time, 23 3-ssec, was little outside the record of 23sec, established by N. A. Armstrong in 1937. A. Taylor won the 220 yards junior championship iri 24 4-ssec, as against the college record of 25 l-ssec made by K. C. Cutton in 1940.
