leg. Gibbs overplayed a well pitched ball and was bowled and Kenf nedy, Wade and Gillies and Dalziel made no attempt to play the bowling with a straight bat which was what was wanted. Carle II played some pretty strokes and scored a beautiful four, the only one made by the side. Mackay and Corry had a merry time with diagonal bats and Mackay scored freely. The bowling of Gandossi and Hunt- ington was excellent. Two overs by Collett were the only interruption of the bowling of Twiss and Gibbs. The former was fairly successful, though his bowling was by no means good: Gibbs was very poor with a suc' cession of longfhops on the leg side. Dalziel caught a brilliant catch and the fielding was good throughout. Result: Shawnigan - 61. University School - 41. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SHAWNIGAN Twiss .,i,,,,..,...... C. Milligan, Huntington C.

A. F. In cold and wretched weather the School was decisively beaten by the R. A. F. Batting first, the School, thanks to Twiss, Dalziel and Wade, amassed a reasonable total which would have been much smaller if Thorner had been kept on, for his bowling was far too good for the School batsmen. Twiss batted particularly well. Green and Wildmore, for the R. A. F., found no difiiculty whatever in the bowling of Gibbs, Twiss and Wade, and gave the home side a beautiful lesson in how superior batsmen could place the ball wherever they wished. For once in a way, the School fielding was not up to the mark. The game was an enjoyable one except for the weather and provided the School with valuable experience. 18

Brentwood batted first and were very lucky to make as many as they did. Gillespie was missed four times, though one of the Chances was a hard one. The School batting requires no comment.

Gas restrictions added a spice of variety to the day and the team travelled by bus, playing between 11 a. m. and 3:30 p. m., and, incidentally, having to stand all the way home. Shawnigan batted first and, thanks to a beautiful innings by Huntington, amassed 44 runs. Twiss bowled very steadily, better than he has done before, but with very little luck. Gibbs took six wickets, mainly because there was a soft spot in the pitch where his favourite longfhop landed. The School innings was poor in every respect save the batting of Twiss who played a real captains innings , going in first, batting with restraint and judgment and 19
