By BEVIL RUDD
London, Apr. 17.
The Public Schools competition at the White City was probably the best of the series of 41 annual meetings. It produced many brilliant schoolboy athletes, and the gen- eral level of achievement was encouragingly high.
Standards have been tightened up points for the school challenge cup, In recent years, and yet 183 were but mention must be made of the se attained in 11 events on the two sprinting of P. Denne (Ardingly) and duys and in the other two events for H. G. Mackenzie (West Bridgford) which Standards are not laid down and of the high jumping of H. G.
