Correction:

The headline of this article has been changed to reflect the following correction:

The Sports page (Sept. 30, 2013) headline, “Tamil Nadu boys and Delhi girls reign supreme” is erroneous as the opening sentence of the report said: “Tamil Nadu and Delhi bagged the sub-junior girls’ and mini boys’ titles respectively …” The correct headline is: “Tamil Nadu girls and Delhi boys reign supreme.”
