THE SCHOOL vs. THE ROYAL NAVY A most interesting game was played on the School grounds on May 26th against a team from the Royal Navy. The Navy batted first against the bowling of Collett II and Morant and five wickets fell for no runs. Beckton then changed his bowling to Jones and Dalziel, but it was soon evident that Knowles and Lieut. Com. Kirkness were batsmen of a different calibre. Knowles, who hit with great vigour and little style, was finally caught magnificently by Collett II. The damage had, however, been done and the Navy total rose to 96. The ground fielding was good, but three easy catches were missed. Grant kept wicket very well. The bowling was well handledg but the placing of the field left something to be desired. Bryn jones and Carle opened for the School and, when the latter looked to b: set, he threw his wicket away to a ball that should never have bowled him. Beckton was most unlucky with a hall which kicked shoulder high and Collett I and XVyllie were not very effective. Collett Il batted magnificently and hit two sixes, one to square leg up in the trees across the drive. Watt and Grant gave a good display at the end.

C. Played at the School this match resulted in an easy win for the home team. The Albions batted first and, with the exception of Tisdall, found runs hard to get. Beckton bowled well at times and Morant was very steady at the other end. Bryn jones was soon out, pulling away from a slow ball from Freemang but Carle and Beckton found the bowling very much to their liking. Carle was slow in scoring and treated many loose balls with extreme caution. Stamer batted well and the Albions total was passed with five wickets down. 18

brief innings. jones batted well for his first appearance, but he lacks confidence and experience as yet. For a side containing eight of last year's eleven it was a rather disappointing performance. Carle, Beckton and Dalziel should have made runs against the bowling offered them: the School bowling should have been much better handled: the School fielding ought to have been much smarter, SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHCCL THE SCHCCL Everest .t.........,.,. b Collett II ....,.t.....

Brentwood batted first and met with misfortune, Atkins being well caught by Collett I after the ball had touched Grant's gloves, and Ley walking back into his own wicket. The School fielding was good and Beckton and Morant bowled well. Grant kept wicket without letting a bye. Beckton and Collett ll batted well and might have made many more runs had they not been bowled by balls diverted by the pitch.

Shawnigan batted first and the School was lucky to iind Everest and Edmunds, both of whom can make runs, with a leg in front to two full pitches, Morant bowled very steadily and kept a good length, getting six wickets for nine runs. Carle and Beckton got the School off to a good start and Collett I and Collett II enjoyed themselves at the expense of the Shawnigan bowlers. Collett II hit very hard and made plenty of runs.
