WELLINGTON COLLEGE

FINE YOUNG ATHLETES

SOME GOOD PERFORMANCES,

For many years the Wellington Boys' College has held a prominent place in secondary schools' athletics in the Dominion. The college has produced many athletes who have distinguished themselves on the track after leaving school. A few years ago the name of F. W. B. Goodbehere, a Wellington College boy, was well known in athletic circles practically throughout New Zealand. He was an outstanding performer, and re- -;- giatered many; fine times in sprint events; Of more recent years C. H. , Jenkins has been the most brilliant ath- . lete. the college has produced. When at . Wellington College Jenkins carried all before him, and after leaving school he •-. further distinguished himself by win- . ing the New Zealand 100 yards championship at the all-Dominion championships at Dunedin, Jenkins left behind him at the old school a.number of records. . , Jenkins and G.oodbehere are only two of the many noteworthyl athletes Wel- ,- lington College has produced, but there have been many others. At the annual college sports to-day there is ample , evidence that the present-day pupils are : well maintaining the high standard of athletic,ability set in the past. Early , this morning it did not appear that the weather would remain fine for long, but nevertheless it was decided to carry on with the meeting. For this morning's vjevcntsr the, turf was on the soft side, : , and competitors received a good deal of assistance from the strong northerly wind which swept over the college playing, fields. Although conditions were far from being ideal, competitors made .thp. best ;of matters and displayed much keenness. Great interest was taken in the vari- . sous events, and interesting contests - w-cro the order of the morning. As in past years, a feature of the meeting is , the largo, number of entries received ■ for the various events.. In some of . the races thore.are as many as six,heats, and then.again in>several of the sprint' races it,is found necessary to run offtwo semifinals before the final can be reached. The. largest field this morning was the one milo walk handicap, .for which there were 117 entries. Jn , r the middlp. distance events and the one mile handicap open'to be decided this . afternoon there are also big fields, and • some,interesting racing is anticipated. , Thai there are a. number of fine ath- . let.es jat the, college, quite as good assome of their predecessors, is borne out by the fact that two .records were broken this morning. In the champion-' shipjieat of the 220 yds. handicap under 16 J. B. Stephenson was credited with 24 4-ssec, which betters the record established by C. H. Jenkins in 1920 by |2-ss'ec. In the long jump handicap under 16 Stephenson again set new figures. I In 1904 F. W." B. Goodbehere jumped 18ft 7jin, and that has been the record for the event ever since. This morning ;- .Stephenson leaped 18ft lOin—a very .fine performance for a boy under 16. > Stephenson is. a very fine typo of young ■ athlete. In the furlong event, although •he ran: well, he received a good deal of „-' assistance from the strong wind. " ... . . E.'.-.S. Bamson, who is expected to win'the senior:championship, registered a leap of 20ft 6iin in the long jump handicap open, which is 4in short of the,record-.held by N. S.. Nicol since 1919. Bamß?n,. also won the 220 yds open championship this morning in the splendid time,of 24sec.'Among the younger competitors A. F. T, Chorltpn,, A, A.. Lawson,.and W. .i . Tuckweil were; prominent this morning; and^ in the under 16 class, besides Stephenson;: H. Avery, and J. Heine-"" : mann were very conspicuous. The' spbrts ar6- in the hands of very capable officials, and it is expected that there will be a large number of visitors this afternoon. As is customary at Wellington College, the junior audi senior cross-coun-try runs and the junior and senior mile championships were decided prior to to-day's meeting. These events were held on 2.oth October, with the following'results:— Senior 'Cross-country Run (record, 17mln ' 15.2455ee, O. B. Hoberts, 1925) 1,. _. Johnson (90nc),,1; E. H.
