The tenth Scottish Schools Championship took place as usual on the third Saturday in May at Ibrox Park in Glasgow.   The ‘Scottish Referee’ lamented the support given by the public to what they clearly viewed as a very worthwhile athletics venture.   Read this.

The Sports were held on Monday 17th May and the ‘Referee’ had three separate pieces on the day’s events.   Before we came to the results we read this one.   Note that there was a champion school contest this time round.
