The Eleven was as follows: Anderson fcaptj, Slocombe fvice' captj, CarleII, Collett II, Collett I, Redpath, Beckton, Prance, Carle I, Dalziel III, Moilliet I. Morrow deserves a word of praise for the dilligent attention he has devoted to the thankless task of scoring. Colours were awarded to Slocombe ,Beckton and Collctt II. THE Scuoot vs. ROYAL Am Foxes With the exception of Carle II it was an entirely inexperienced eleven that represented the School for the first match of the 1943 season. Consequently, there was considerable nervousness and the batting was marked by a lack of aggressiveness. Carle II batted wellg his running, however, was far from satisfactory and, not unexpec- tedly, he ran himself out. Beckton batted with confidence and made one or two good strokes. Slocombe, who was ActingfCaptain, batted with determination. The School bowling was very weak with the exception of that of CollettII, who bowled well against the luck all the time. The fielding was fair, though there was much room for improvement at square and long leg. Beckton kept wicket and allowed no byes. 1 -C CRICKET XI Dalziel III, Collett I, Carle I, Moilliet I, Prance, Collett II, Carle II, Beckton, Anderson fCaptainJ, Slocombe fVice-Captainj, Redpath 22

We had a very young and inexperienced team. only one of the i942 Eleven being here this year. However conf siderahle keenness was evinced under the leadership of, first, Slo- combe and, after the election of Captain, of Anderson. A word of sincere commendation is due to Slocombe, not only for his courf ageous batting throughout the season, but also for his devotion to duty during the. early days of the term. Five first eleven matches were played, of which one was won and four lost, one of the latter being hy a narrow margin. The outstanding features in the field were the greatly improved batting of Becltton whose performance has been highly praiseworthy and the excellent bowling of Collett Il who has bowled tirelessly throughout the season, has kept a steady length and has acquired considerable control over the ball. The fielding has not been up to standard this year. Considerable interest and improvement has been developed in the middle levels of the school. Kirk and jones have shewn conf siderable promise with both bat and ball and Stamer gathered thirty runs in a second eleven matchg in a year or so Stamer will learn to bat and the other two will come into their own. Matches were ployed against O.B.H.S. and Glenlyong unfortunately weather ruined the lst eleven match vs. Brentwood. junior cricket has gone on as usual, with enthusiasm, much chatter and some skill. Cornish and Kreger II shew distinct promise and Myers has distinguished himself by his returns from deep field. Four teams were entered for the Clayton Cup which was won by M. Carle's Eleven. 21

The School batted first and found themselves in difficulties with Barton's leg-breaks, Carle II, Slocombe and Anderson being bowled in short order. Beckton batted very well and put a different complexion on the score. He hit one lovely six, picking the ball right off his feet and ovcr the squarefleg boundary. Prance and Redpath added valuable runs with the long handle . Shawnigan passed the School total when the seventh wicket had fallen. The School bowling was weakg Redpath seemed to have little control over the ball and Collett II was never quite good enough to hit the wicket, though his bowling frequently had the batsmen in difficulties. Anderson took four wickets with the assist' anceqof the four batsmen. The bowling was not well handledg Redpath was kept on far too longg more frequent changes at both ends would have met with better luck. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SHAWNIGAN Carle Il ......... .
