made to send the team to England to
compete against oxford for the English
championship next year. The members
declare that the team would surely win
| majority OF the events. At the Cana
dian championships in Montreal last
Saturday, the Mercury-foot athletes sur
prised everybody by winning eleven of
the championships, besides lowering
number of the records made by the
Canadians
