The cups this year have been awarded as follows:—

Heinemann Cup (most improved athlete): J. R. Bennell.

Ladies' Cup (best performance at Inter-Faculty): J. C. Watt.

Oram Cup (for most points gained at Inter-Faculty): J. C. Watt and F. S. Ramson.

Heinemann Medal (best performance at Inter-Faculty by first year athlete): E. N. Ducker.

On the Saturday following Inter-Faculty Sports the second Dewar Shield meet was held, at which the 'Varsity teams were successful in "netting" the one mile (Fabian, Rothwell, Morpeth) and the long jump (Barker, Mackay).

In spite of all our resolutions we were not successful in bringing back the Athletic Shield from Tournament. At midday on Sports Day the Victorians were feeling very "bucked," as it appeared, on points to date, that we were "home and dried" as regards winning the Shield. However the events of the afternoon turned out contrary to our expectations. The fate of the Shield rested on the relay, which was won by Canterbury, thus making their victory doubly secure. Talking about the relay we hear, on good authority, that the girls of Dunedin are still quarrelling over Newton Goodson's "wee pants.', was unfortunate that those responsible for conducting the Sports at Tournament were not conversant with N.Z.U. Rules regarding the changing of events. If these had been adhered to our chances of success would have been substantially improved.

Following our usual custom, the Athletics Club dinner was held after the Sports and was an even greater success than usual. Upon the termination of this function we very fittingly adjourned "en mass" to the swimming baths.
