GRANT-Lethargic and not active enough as a wislet keeper and too apt to use his pads rather than his gloves. Somewhat improved as a bat and was beginning to develop the necessary confidence. SHAW'-Quick on his feet and hts the loose ball ha d but possesses little in the way of defence. Has had success with the ball against tailfend batsmen but his control of length is faulty 'and he bowls far too few good balls to worry a batsman of any experience. Fair in the field and has proved a useful member of the side. BAKER-The most improved member of the team and a natural hitter of real promise. He hits straight and times the ball well on the leg side. His defence, though not strong, has improved. A fair Held and not without promise as a bowler. RILEY-As a batsman he had some idea of defense but his attacking strokes were few. Keen in the field. WHITTOME-He has come on somewhat with the ball but his bowling lacks hostility as yet. Interest and effort would bring him wickets. A bad fielder. CLIFFORD-dHas developed a fair defence and a few strokes on the leg side but is too prone to nibble on the off side. Very keen in the field and has good hands. Enthusiastic to a degree and shows real promise. COX-Quite keen and promising. Strong on the leg side but his defence is by no means sound. Very fair in the field. THE CRICKET XI Shaw, Vvlhittome, Baker, Riley, Cox, Clifford I, Dalziel, Morgan, Morant, Brynflones, Grant 17

SCHOOL vs. SHAwN1C.aN LAKE SCHOOL The return match at Shawnigan Lake was stopped by rain after forty minutes play. Shawnigan Lake lost three wickets for 24 runs, Morant taking 2 for 8. . SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This, the final match of the season, was played at home, the School winning on their merits. Morant took 4 Brentwood wickets for 7 runs in 13 overs and bowled at his best. Morgan took 5 for 18 and Brentwood were out for 36. The School fared little better and it was only when Morant and Baker were together that any stand developed. The latter refused to flatter the bowling, and hitting well, was undefeated with 33 at the close, at which time the School had scored 55 for S wickets.

CHARACTERS GF THE lst XI MORANT fCapt.J-Developed splendidly with the ball. Bowling with spirit and keeping a length, he was the mainstay of the School attack and never failed. A weak batsman but fair in the held. As a captain he lacked experience, was rather excitable, and paid insufficient attention to the placing of his field. Extremely keen and enthusiastic. MORGAN QVicefCaptainj-A good all rounder. Never really did himself justice but is a batsman of real promise with some excellent shots in front of the wicket. His running between the wickets is poor. As a bowler he kept a fair length but had a tendency to no ball. A sound Helder with good hands. Enthusiastic to a degree and possesses a know- ledge of the game such as is all too seldom seen. BRYNJONESWVA leftfhander with an attractive style who has never come off. The strokes are there but confidence and decision are still lacking. He is a better.. bowler than he himself believes and could excel in this department. Fair in the field. DALZIEL-AHe can punish loose bowling but his defence is weak and he possesses no strokes on the offfside. His bowling always lacked sting and frequently length. Very active in the field and was keen and enthusiastic at all times. 16
