SCHOOLBOY ATHLETES

[INTER-COLLEGIATE MEETING AUCKLAND GRAMMAR WINS NEW QUARTER-MILE RECORD The annual inter-second ary schools track nnd / field championships were conducted at the Domain on Saturday and, jn spito of a cold wind that blew directly down the straight, a series of splendid • performances, well in keeping with the past standard, was registered. Only one record was broken during the day and f'that was in the intermediate section, \\ . Jlansill reducing the 440 yds. record to 54 4-os. F. Watt, Auckland Grammar, -was n the outstanding senior athlete on the day, and he ran true to form in winning the half-mile and one mile championships and greatly assisting his school to win the senior relay. W. Mansill, also of Auckland Grammar, was the outstanding intermediate athlete, while in the juniors Barton, of Otahuhu High School, performed well. Smeeton, of Mount Albert Grammar, also imi- . pressed with a beautiful display of high iumping 2 in which he employed a perfect "Western roll." , Auckland Grammar was again successful in the senior and intermediate divisions, while Otahuhu High School and Seddon Memorial Technical College tied for first place in the junior division.

EVENTS AT NORTHCOTE COMBINED MEETING HELD There was a laTge attendance of parents at the fourth annual combined sports meeting of the primary schools associated with the Northcote District High School, held at the High School grounds at Northcote on Saturday. Favourable weather conditions , prevailed, and the gathering was most sue cessful. The organisation of the sports was excellent, the arrangements reflecting credit upon the officials. The events were keenly contested, .'vnd owing to the large number of competitors six and seven heats were necessary in some races to reach the final stage. The pointy were again awarded on a scale basis to preclude the possibility of the larger schools having any advantage because of their ability to place more competitors in the events. Birkdale counted double, and tbe other schools four times, the value allowed for',points scored by North,cote and Birkenhead. Albany again secured first place in the girls' division, while Greenhithe was first in the boys' division. The aggregate points scored were us follows:—Albany, 212; Greenhithe, 200; Birkenhead, 182; Birkdale, 144; Northcote, 130; Glenfield, 66 In the absence of the president, Mr. H. Shaw, the Herbert Smith Memorial Cups were presented by Mr. T. M. Shepherd, these trophies being received by Miss Agnes Massey for /Alb.iny and by Master Austin gr Blakeway for Greenhithe.
