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 ......... .............................

The School gave a very moderate display in the first innings against very poor bowling. The batting, except that of Young, flattered the bowlers beyond measure. Forrest, who bowled chiefly longfhops for Shawnigan, took seven wickets for 15. However, the display given by Shawnigan was even worse, although they had to face much better bowling. Except for a few fullfpitches which the batsmen considerately missed, Wil' liams bowled very well and had 6 for 15. Robertson, playing for the First, for the first time, bowled steadily. Young was completely off length. In the second innings, Twiss dominated the scene and batted really well for 28. Williams bowled well at his second attempt and Robertson met with deserved success. Corry's catching was a feature of the game. The School fielding was of a high order. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL . b . Twiss ........ ........ Young ........... - ..... XVilliams ............
