f GIBBS ffull Backl. Filled this difficult 'position with distinction and showed commendable steadiness under pressure. His real position, how' ever, is in the centre where his thrust and general attacking ability may be well used. A footballer of the greatest promise. ALBERT. A much improved front rank man who excelled in the tight and in the line-out. His kicking and tackling were weak. NORTH. Despite' his lack of weight an extrem,ely effective hooker . Ex' cellent in the loose and the linefout. His passing was well judged, his backing up timely, and he always did his best to keep the game open. Keen and determined to a degree he played vigorous and intelligent football and his leadership of th pack was deserving of the highest praise. CORRY. New to thc game but made great strides and at the end of the season was one of the best of the pack. His tackling was keen and sure, his work in the linefout intelligent, and his general attitude and spirit most praiseworthy. BOAK. A back row forward who played the game intelligently. Excellent in the loose with the ball at his feet and did his best to keep the game open. Possessed a good sense of position and backed up well. Very fair in defence. TWEEDY. Not brilliant but an honest trier in every phase of forward play 'and a greatly improved footballer. Rather slow in the loose and weak in defence but a hard and effective worker in the tight and in the linefout. COCKERAM. A new forward who developed fast. He has courage and intelligence and should be very good next year. Tennis The Annual Tennis Tournament Finals were held late in the term, the whole School attending. The Singles Championship was won by Duke who defeated Mackay 3f6, 6f'l, 6fO. Both boys were content to play from the base line and while some fair driving was seen it was definitely safety first tennis. There was little to choose between the finalists, but Duke outlasted Mackay, appearing to be in better condition following the Doubles match which preceded the Singles Final. 'The Doubles Final saw Young and Cupples facing Mackay and Duke. The match went to three sets but Mackay and Duke combined better than their opponents, and always appearing to have more in reserve, won lfl, 4f6, 612. -2 4--
