THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1948.

The Inter-School

Meet

The year's biggest sporting event as far as the Co- lony's schools are concerned is the Annual In- tor-School Athletic Championships arranged by the Education Department. Although other sporting bodies have organised track meets involving inter-scholastic competition, none but the carly spring athletic meet at Caro- "line Hill is accepted as the criterion to deter-

mine the school-boys' skill on the cinders.

This year's competition, quietly declined every invitation planned for this week, should to compete.

(200) and Gerry Gosano, that year should contain much of the La Salie's gold medalist, (400) the keen and sporting rivalry that junchor man, motivated the successes of the meets in the days gone by.

At the field this week will be many who some eight to 10 years ago rounded the trucks to achieve highest glory for self and school.

They will be there to call and cheer for the old Alma Mater as othem before them had called and chuwred when they themselves were on the trucks.

No Argument Without argument, the greatest chapter in the history of the Colony's Inter-School Sports was that recording the meet of 1939.

The school-boy Biletes of In their today were then only early teens or even less. But even they will remember that occasion, and the boys that took part in it. They were Ronny, Bobble Case tro and Gerry Gusano of La Salle College, Agusto Sequeira and Phip Tavares of St. Joseph's, Bill Husegood, Ball Pryde and Kempton of Central British School (now known as King George V School), Sin Kwok-bun of Chæren's College and the boys

of Wuh Yals.

That was the year when the five named schools stond closely. for the championships when the last and most important event of the meet--the 400, 200, 200, 400 metre relay was entled.

That was the

CBS had Pryde for the first leg. I think, the Bonker boys in the 200 sprints and Bill Hosegood their anchor man.

Not Surprising

The race started as expected, with St. Joseph's taking the lead followed by Wah Yan and close behind, La Sulle. CBS was lug- ging behind almost lust. That was not surprising. No one const- dered them at all in the field, at lenst, not for the time being.

When the baton was passed to the 200 metres men, Ron Castro speeded past both Wah Yan and St. Joseph's to give La Salle the lend which was further increased by his cousin Robbie ruaning the

uther 200 metres stretch.

When Bubble passed the baton to Gerry Gosano, La Salle was some 20 to 25 yards in the lend followed by St. Joseph's and the others. CBS was last to start on the final stretch, But Honegand was now holding the baton,
