It must be admitted, however, that the iielders on Gibbs' team especially on the leg side, were very kind to all opposing batsmen XVADE'S XI GIBBS' XI Gillies .. ..,,..... .......

CROSS COUNTRY RUN On account of the military activities in the district it became necessary to abandon the usual course, so that this year the run was actually a road race. Corry was the winner, and received the Cup presented by the Old Boys. The best Junior was Collett II. Altogether about seventy' four boys took the run. It was particularly gratifying to note the number of juniors who covered the course in very good time.

MACKAY-A cheerful and enterprising bat, with a knowledge of the diflif culties which lie in the batsman's way. A really good field. ' CORRYL Has improved considerably with the bat. An excellent field. KENNEDY-Has batting ability, only he does not use it. A fair bowler, apt to be lacking in concentration. A moderate -field. CARR-Has many good points as a bat: must learn how to deal with balls on the off side. Has greatly improved in the field. CARLE II-Is shaping into a really good bat: with the natural impatience of extreme youth, he has often flung away his wicket: will do well as years go on. Avoirdupois has somewhat retarded his muscles in the held. DALZIEL I-A natural hitter with a fairly good eye: a safe field. WALLIS-Has not had much opportunity in school matches: always willing to try and has possibilities. JUNIOR CRICKET Gn May 16 on the School ground the Colts beat the Brentwood Colts by 88 to 41.

CLAYTON CUP There was keen competition in the Clayton Cup series this year, teams being entered under the captaincy of Twiss, Gibbs, Wade I and Mackay, respectively. By the time that the final stage was reach' ed, Wade's team had to draw with Gibbs' to win the Cup and Gibbs' team required a win. After several starts rendered abortive through rain, the final was played on the Square on June 10th and the Cup was won by Wade I's team, exactly thirty years after his father's team had won it in the first year in which the competition was held. The game was notable for a really brilliant catch by Stephenson I who, fielding close in at cover, remembered advice which had been given him and, moving with the batsman's feet, was in position to hold a hot drive from Gibbs. Wade distinguished himself by scoring more from his own bat than the whole of the other team amassed. 22

Prizes were presented by the Lord Bishop of Columbia, who was introduced by the Headmaster. After telling his audience some somewhat humorous anecdotes of his earlier athletic career, the Bishop addressed himself seriously to the boys and emphasized the essential qualities of character which, he said, University School was so eminently qualified to inculcate. Tea was served as usual in the Gym and, for the first time, was enlivened by the performance of the School Orchestra.
