The annual match between Vancouver and Victoria boys un- der 18. with the Cameron Cup at stake, was won this year by the home side, Victoria. R. R.

Opening the season at home on the last Saturday in April, the School were successful in defeating Cowichan C.C. by 44 runs. The visitors lacked practice, but the side contained some good men and the School did very well to dismiss them for 34, Challoner taking 7 for 12. For the School Read and Sundt I showed promis- ing form in an opening partnership, but apart from Sherratt the rest of the batting appeared feeble. COWICHAN C.C. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Heppenstall, ct.

Captain and Vice-Captain respectively. two other members of the 1950 Team, Read and Squire. were available. Six matches were played. four of which were won and two lost. All matches against other schools were won convincingly and Cowichan Cricket Club were also defeated. Reverses were suffered at the hands of Oak Bay and the University Incogs.,' This very satisfactory record was due in large part to the excellence of the School bowlers. Sherratt and Challoner. Calton. who was most unfortunate in missing a Century by one run against St. George's School. led the batsmen. scoring 150 runs and averaging 25. Read had an average of 13.83. For the third successive year Sherratt and Challoner monop- olized the bowling and once again proved to be a most formidable pair. Challoner took 32 wickets for 121 runs and Sherratt 23 for 125. The fielding of the side was only moderate. Colours were awarded to G. T. L. Read and H. XY. Squire. The official Team was as follows:-R. Calton. G. A. Sher- ratt. R. R. Challoner. G. T. L. Read. H.

GEORGE'S SCHOOL The School batted first on a splendid wicket at Brocton Point. Read and Calton putting on 99 for the first wicket. Both batted very well and their running between the wickets was outstanding. Calton was particularly good. All loose bowling was treated with severity and he drove straight and to the off with power. His placing of the ball on the leg side was very clever. 82 at lunch, he had made no mistake, but upon resumption of play he timed the ball poorly and was caught at mid-on when 99. Sundt II batted quite well but the tail failed and the innings closed for 173. Hallett, the St. George's Captain, made a gallant attempt to save the match and his innings of 40 was an excellent one under trying conditions. The innings eventually closed for 67, the School win- nig by 106 runs. Sherratt took 6 for 32. 29
