Having lost seven of last year ' s team, we had to look for some replacements to build into the new team, and this building took time. The rookies had plenty of desire but not much technique, so it was no great surprise that we started out struggling. In fact, the first game, against Mississauga, was typical of games to come. Ross Large bowled well without much luck and we could not get the op- position out. When we batted, we stayed in but no one, apart from Jim Wetmore, could score runs. A coaches ' team showed that Mr. Josselyn had not lost his touch with a bat and that Mr. Leggat had played more than soccer! Then the Oakville Captain, Mr. Logan, bowling with a hurricane behind him, was just too fast for the boys.

None of our opponents was really able to match the strength and depth of Appleby ' s swimming, although Ridley managed to beat us in one meet when our team was without the services of McLaughlin and Sur- phlis. The prospect of these boys taking their place in the first team is indeed an inviting one and will ensure several seasons of excellent competition in this sport. Special mention - Stuart McLaughlin, individually un- beaten in two years of com- petitive swimming: an out- standing performance. Well done, all of you! J.B.

The Toronto Cricket Club paid us the compliment of sending a very strong team to play us. Chasing 121 runs, Wetmore and Jamieson gave us a good start, putting on 46 before being parted, but once they and Large went, our batting evaporated. After losing to Oak- ville B, we travelled to Ridley. On a very damp wicket, we bowled well. Large and Rick Wilson spear-headed a good opening at- tack, balanced by some cunning slow leg breaks by left-hander Ed Dickens. But Ridley proved to have just too many good bats- men. Then, when we batted, we proved that we had very few. Thus the half way point was the nadir of our season. We had lost four out of five and were just starting our I.S.A.A. games. But we now began to do some things right. Against S.A.C. we bowled very effectively to get them 10 runs for 5 wickets, and skittling them out for 63. Wet- more and Large shared the wickets evenly and led us to our first win. Our finest effort was reserved for a key game, against T.C.S. Large bowled well, starting with three maidens and giving up only 16 runs in 12 overs for two wickets. Having got them struggling we were able to use our spin bowler, Keith Morrison who, in his finest hour, took four wickets for 15 runs. With T.C.S., all out for 71, our early batsmen, Josselyn, Taylor and Large, knocked off the runs to give us a very gratifying victory. Next day, our hopes high, we went to U.C.C. For the first hour our hopes remained high. We had three U.C.C. batsmen out for 12 runs. But then two of their players dug in and pushed their score to 76 for 4 and 133 all out. As so often happens when we need a good start, we got a bad one. Wetmore was run out by a superb throw from the boundary, and we were in trouble. But now the younger batsmen gave us a great lift, and raised hopes for next season, by digging in and fighting for a draw. We ' ll all remember Harrigan ' s magnificient six that scattered the U.C.C. fielders. And so we finished with our best I.S.A.A. record for a long time. Next year looks good. We should have 10 of the squad back, and with several good players coming up, it could well be our year. I.S.A.A. FinaJ Standings School WON DRAWN LOST PTB.
