Thorne was chosen Vice Captain. The First Xl played nine games in all, three of which were won, one drawn, and five lost. Games against Shawnigan Lake School and Brentwood College were divided. Sproule was the only batsman to score with any degree of con' sistency and finished with an average of 14. Huff had the best howling figures taking 27 wickets for 198 runs, but Thorne who took 32 for 296 was the better bowler. The fielding was not good although Sproule and Thorne were keen to a degree and never failed to arouse enthusiasm. Everett, in spite of a very nasty accident, made an exceedingly promising start as a wicket keeper. No new colours were awarded this year and the full team was as follows: A. W. Field, J. O. Thorne, W. J. Sproule, R. J. Huff, A. W. Everett, R. C. Massy, F. W. Boate, J. B. Young, D. S. Craig, A. H. Hicks, and hl. H. Ireland. The Clayton Cup, for cricket within the school was won this year by Sproule's team. Every year the Universitiy School lncogs present a bat to the best all round cricketer in the School. This year the decision was a matter of such difficulty that the School presented a duplicate bat the award going to Sproule and Thorne. In addition to 1st Xl matches the Colts and Juniors also enjoy' ed several games. The Colts divided games with Brentwood College Colts, and defeated Clen Lyon School and the Fathers. The juniors were successful in defeating Qualicum Beach School but were outplayed by Trinity House School and lucky to obtain a draw. -26..
