A NEW STAR
The Varsity sports at the Domain on Monday saw the rise of a new star in the athletic firmament. Competing for Victoria College, C. J. Sceats shat-
tered the old record for the high jump by 3| i n c h e s, clearing the bar at sft. 11 in., and only just failing to negotiate the cross-piece at 6ft. Sceats is the first New Zealander who has made a success of the
American style of high jumping, and his future career will bt watched with considerable interest.
