BRENTWOOD Postponed two or three times on account of rain, the return match against Brentwood was played on Thursdy, june 11th. Time for play was somewhat limited for various reasons. This was a pity, for the School, for the Hrst time this season, looked like winning a match. Brentwood batted first and looked for a time as if they were out for a big score. However, steady bowling by Twiss, good fielding and throwing in, soon changed the appearance of things and the side was out for 67. Twiss, Carr, Gibbs and Kennedy gave little troubleg but when Corry and Dalziel got together runs came fast from some rather unorthodox batting. Dalziel added a comic touch by skying the last ball of the game above the middle of the pitch and, as he ran, gaily calling to the bowler, Angus, as he got under it, You won't catch that! . . . and he didn't.

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

THE SCHOOL vs. THE Navi' The last and most enjoyable match was played against the on the School grounds on june 13th. The Navy batted first with varying fortune until Lifton and jackson got together and took complete charge of the School bowl' ing. Both batsmen eventually retired and the innings was quickly brought to a close for 83 runs. During the innings, Gibbs brought off a remarkable catch while fielding at slip. Homes misfhit a ball from Kennedy so that it went high over his own head and that of the wicketfkeeper and would have fallen about 35 yards behind-the wicket. Gibbs ran along the line of flight of the ball and, looking up into a bright sun, brought off the catch which came over his head. Corry and Mackay opened the School innings, the former scoring a four from the first ball. Wade batted merrily for a while, hitting two four's: but the remainder of the team failed dismally with the outstanding exception of Twiss who was not out at the end of 22 runs amassed by patient and commendable batting. Both teams batted twelve and Helded eleven: and the match ended in a draw. NAVY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Sinclair b. Gibbs ................. - ..... 7 Corry ................ c. Es' b. Barr ...,.......

Bowled steadily under very diflicult and trying circumstances and deserves much credit. Made a satisfactory job of his first year's captaincy. WADE I-An excellent Helder and a Cricketer of the right spirit. Must give up his present method of dealing with a well-pitched ball on the off stump. A loyal and co-operative vice-captain. GIBBS-Has had a very poor season. He has shown no sign whatever of fulfilling his earlier promise with the bat and his bowling consists almost entirely of long-hops. GILLIES-Has made a praiseworthy effort to become a wicketfkeeper and has achieved no mean success. Disappointing with the bat, the use of which he must learn to employ with greater seriousness. 21
