INTER-COLLEGE SPORTS

RECORDS GO BY THE BOARD McEVEDY SHIELD TO . WELLINGTON SOME FINE PERFORMANCES Records equalled, and in several cases broken, marked the fifth annual sports meeting of the Wellington Secondary Schaols’ Association at Athletic Park on Saturday. Intermittent showers of rain overnight did not leave the track in the best of condition, but this was more or less compensated for by the favourable direction of the wind.

Wellington, St. Patrick’s, Technical, Scots, and Wellesley Colleges, as well as Waiwupa and Hutt Valley High Schools were strongly represented. The heats were run oil' in the morning in threatening weather. Conditions had considerably improved, however, in the afternoon when a fair attendance witnessed some exciting finishes in the finals. There were large entries in the three grades of competition, junior (under 14J years), intermediate (under 16j), and senior (under 20). Wellington College, the joint holders with Wairarapa. won the McEvedy Shield by a comfortable margin from Wairarapa High School, with St. Patrick’s third.

. Perhaps the outstanding performance of the day was that registered in the 120 yards hurdles' senior championship. In the first heat, F. S. Ramson (Wellington College) covered the distance in 16 l-ssec., equalling tho record of S. Tait (Wellington College) established in 1922. The final of this event provided a great race. J. E. Holmwood (W’airarapa) and Ramson were Tunning neck and neck nil the way up to the last couple of hurdles, where Holmwood, clearing beautifully, took the lead and went on to win by inches in an exciting finish. His time also., equalled the record. Considerable interest centred in the final of the 109 yards senior. Tho winner, Ramson, nut un an excellent performance in equalling O. H. Jenkins* record of 10 2-5 see., established in 1923. For the first time since the incention nf the intercollege sports, tho standard was beaten in the one niile senior, R.
