K 4 CRICKET 1941 The Annual Cricket Meeting was held in April. and presided over by the Headmaster. J. B. Young was elected Captain, and A. M. Cupples, VicefCaptain.

unusually trying year, has contributed in no small way to the effective and smooth running. We wish them luck and we shall follow their achievements in the future with pride and interest. TENNIS The competitions this year have brought to light some promis- ing tennis material in the school. The juniors, especially, have made considerable progress in the game, this being due chiefly to their enthusiasm-they have been practising at every opportunity. Al- though vfe can boast of no stars, we do claim a high average level of proficiency. This year, for the first time, the Robertson Cup was offered for the winner of the singles elimination series, open to boys under fifteen. The two places on the finals were well contested for, and finally captured by Robertson II and Carle I. In the final game of the series played before the school, Carle I defeated Robertson II to take the cup. Robertson II exhibited a superior style, and might have won with a little more care. Carle I showed himself to be a more careful player, though impeded by certain defects of style. In particular he lacks a strong and easy service. The finalists in the open singles were Duke and Leslie, the latter being our perennial champion. Leslie successfully defended his title this year, as was to be expected. Nevertheless, Duke gave him strong opposition all the way. Dukes style is smooth and in- teresting to watch. By employing an underhand back-hook drive, he is able to return a fast ball with a high degree of certainty. Leslie has a service and return drive which is formidable. He has the addi- tional advantage of height. In the open doubles, Duke and Mackay competed with Cup- ples I and Young in the finals. The game was won after a hard fight, by Duke and Mackay. Since a doubles game offers more scope for strategy, this game was the most interesting from the spectators point of view. The play was always competent and in some instances brilliant. Real strategy was often employed, but was not always consistent. Service was powerful, but too often inaccurate. In both service and play, Mackay showed himself the most competent player in the doubles. Colours were awarded to Leslie. RESULTS: JUNIORS - ROBERTSON CUP Carle I beat Robertson II, 7-5, 3-6, 6-1. OPEN SINGLES - BARNACLE CUP Leslie beat Duke, 7-5, 6-1. OPEN DOUBLES Duke and Mackay beat Cupples and Young 6-3, 6-2. 14

Canadian Air Force, and a return match against Victoria. Unforf tunately, all these games, for one reason or another had to be can' celled. The batting of the side generally was much better than last year. Young and Twiss were the only outstanding batters. Mercer proved himself a good wicketfkeeper, while Young, Cupples, and Williams bowled with considerable success. The fielding was inf variably good and at times excellent. Colours vqere awarded this year to Twiss, Gibbs, Mercer and Cupples. The team was as follows: J. B. Young QCaptainJ, A. M. Cupples QVicefCaptainJ, bl. B. Mercer, R. S. Williams. W. D. Mackay, I. A. Twiss, J. A. Gibbs, A. Moiiiia, H. J. Wade. D. M. Gillies, and G. D. Corry This year we had six teams for the Clayton Cup. Williams' team won the Cup. The bat given every year by the University School incogs to the best cricketer in the school was won by Young whose keenness and enthusiasm did so much to make him such an effective Captain of the lst XI. Twiss won the prize bat given by the School to any member of the first team who makes S0 runs at the first team game. The 2nd XI won their only outside match against Shawnigan Lake 'lnd XI, 92f64. The junior Team played four matches, one against Qualieum Beach School, one against Glenlyon. and two against Fairbridge Farm School, all of which were won. Robertson II made a very good Captain. The bowling of Collett II and Anderson, and the batting of Braide and Smith II were the outstanding features. SCHOOL vs. VICTORI.k C. C. The season opened on May 3rd with a match against Victoria. The school made a very poor start, 3 wickets falling for 3 runs, a disaster for which Kennedy was responsible through very poor run' ning. Williams made a few runs with a very crooked bat, and Gibbs played confidently till he was out in his favourite way- L. B. W. The innings closed for 33. Victoria proceeded to take advantage of some weak bowling, and made 80 runs, of which Hob' son made 50. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Young ......... .............................
