Cacia 1940 At the Annual Cricket Meeting held late in April, J. D. Mercer was chosen to captain the team and AfM. Cupples to assist him as ViceffCaptain. Of the seven matches played by the 1st XI one was won, five lost and one was drawn. In addition to the above, fixtures were arrranged with H.M.S. Caradoc, The Royal Canadian Navy, The Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Garrison. Unfortunately all these games, for one reason or another had to be cancelled. This was a great disappointment as these matches promised to be more than usually interesting. The batting of the side was far too passive but several boys, particularly Twiss and to a lesser degree Gibbs, have decided possif bilities. The out cricket was rather better. Willianis and Young led the attack, the former taking 18 wickets for 149 runs, and the latter 15 for 148. Cupples and Moilliet also bowled with success. Mercer kept wicket quite well and the fielding was always good and at times excellent. No colours were awarded for 1940, and the team was as follows: J. D. Mercer fCaptainJ, A. D. Cupples fVicefCaptainJ, J. B. Young, R. S. Williams, XV. D. Mackay, J. A. Twiss, J. E. Boak, G. R. Leslie, J. A. Gibbs, A. Moilliet and H. J. Wade. The Clayton Cup was won this year by Youngs team, and the prize bat given every year by the University School Incogs to the best cricketer in the School was also won by Young, whose keenness and enthusiasm, well sustained since he entered the School as a Jun' ior, have thus, in a measure, been recognized. The Znd XI won their only match against Brentwood College and divided games with Shawnigan Lake School.

Scratch teams were also made up to play Brentwood College Colts , Stf Michael's School, Glen Lyon School and Shawnigan Lake School. Among the more promising boys noticed were Robertson, Slocombe, Smith ii and Smith iii. SCHOOL vs. MR. R. WENMAN'S TEAM The season opened on April 27th, Mr. Wenman captaining a side made up of six Incogsl' and five members of the 2nd XI. The match was played in a drizzle but was quite interesting and even, the School being beaten in the last over. The School bowling with Williams absent hurt was not impressive, but the batting was by no means without merit. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Young ..,..,,..... Boak .,......... Twiss ..,....,.

After the de' parture of Young and Boak, cricket strokes were conspicuous by their absence and this against indifferent bowling, ultimately a thorf oughly undeserved draw was obtained. The School fielding was quite bright and Williams with 5 for 46 bowled well.
