CADETS AND ATHLETES Narrow victory for Woolwich this year in the Triangular Athletic Contest H ELD at the R.A.F. Stadium, Cranwell, the athleticbattle opened under ideal, if somewhat warm,conditions, with a cool westerly breeze to re- lieve what would otherwise have been a baking sun. Those who hoped that records would be broken were, however, doomed to disappointment, as were the spectators on their home soil, for the final scores were: The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, 69 points ; the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, 67 points ; and the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell, 53 points. Lord Londonderry arrived in his new " Cadet " (very appropriately), escorted by a Hart of No. 24 (Communica- tion) Squadron, piloted by F/O. O. P. Lascelles, who, in- cidentally, flew one of the C.F.S. machines at the Display last year. Woolwich and Sandhurst each scored 8 points in the opening 100 yards' event—after one false start—with Cranwell 3 points behind. The race was won by J. S. S. Prest (Woolwich) in 10£ sec. The High Jump resolved itself into a protracted duel between representatives of Woolwich and Sandhurst, who eventually tied, and Woolwich took the lead, to hold it until the seventh event, lose it, and then finally regain it. In the One Mile, J. R. Jeudwine (Cranwell), after running second, went into the lead on the last lap, to be unsuccessfully challenged only in the last hundred yards of the distance. This win was unfortunately counteracted by the placing of the other members of his team, so that Cranwell was still 6£ points behind Sandhurst. Several brawny men could now be descried in the back- ground handling shot in preparation for the sixth event, while a gruelling Quarter Mile resulted in a win for Sand- hurst. Woolwich and Sandhurst eventually tied in the matter of Weight Putting, with a distance of 37 ft. 5 in. Now for a short space Sandhurst took the lead with a win in the 120 Yards Hurdles, and Cranwell was definitely out of it. The Two Miles was not a close race, but Lady May Grosvenor presents to H. E. C. Boxer the Cup for the Best All-round Athlete at Cranwell. (FLIGHT Photo.) 498
