Field events, now the mainstay of the Varsity, are not a Yardling specialty, but as the Exeter meet showed, are a sizeable source of the necessary points. high jumper Ed Mahoney who registered the winning score in the schoolboy meet, may repeat his performance next week, but will have his hands full against the confident Indians.
