ef' T Barker. H. Rooper Cabeldu THE ANNUAL SPORTS The Annual Sports were held on Saturday. May 3Oth.. before a large crowd of Parents. Old Boys and Friends. A biting wind made conditions unpleasant for runners and spectators alike. but the weather remained bright and the full programme was carried out without hitch. The Band of the Royal Canadian Artillery iReserye Armyi rendered musical interludes from the shelter of the School House wall and added greatly to the enjoyment of the afternoon. Among the best races of the day were the Open 100 Yards. narrowly won by Rooper in 10.8 secs.. the Open 220 Yards. won by Shaw in 25 sec.. and the One Mile Open. in which Fox beat Barker l by ten yards in 5 mins. 14.4 secs. In the Junior eyents Cabeldu and Philipsen fought many close finishes. The Old boys' Race furnished much interest and amusement. and yards for years proved an adequate exchange to Macpherson 1933 , who beat Calton and Bridge in the 1011 Yards Dash. 13

RUGBY FOOTBALL In last yearls 'Black and Red, Reg Henman wrote. lt was evident that 1951-1952 was to be a rebuilding season. How firmly the foundations were laid rand the edifice reared. in the Christmas Term of 1952. by Derek Hyde-Layl can be judged by the splendid record of the 1952-1953 period. which was finally rounded by the capture of the local Second Division Championship. Ancients amongst the Old Boys are confidently invited to see if they can remember a better lst. XV! At the beginning of the Easter Term this humble recorder had to inform the Team that he had been selected to fill a position which he resolutely preferred to interpret as that of bag-carrier. and that for the rest of the season they must virtually carry them- selves. It was a crucial moment. but they rose to the opportunity and. under F. B. Roome's inspiring leadership. produced a drive which never forsook them and resulted in an unbroken series of victories which must have been gratifying to the players themselves. if somewhat monotonous for their successive opponents. Only one game mfor Mr. Manners ?v was dropped during the two terms. and it must be emphasized that this success was due largely to Team Spirit. there being few individual Stars,, to save the day. On the whole. fine. open Rugger was played. a fierce Pack being supported by enterprising and thrustful Backs. Incidentally. the XV was outweighed in the majority of its games and might well deserve the title of Giant-Killers. The 'Harker-Privett' Trophy and the 'Times' Cup now rest in the School Nlemorial Hall. and long. we trust. their rest will be: but followers of Rugger know only too well that there's many a slip 'twixt Cup and home shelf. The thankless office of 2nd. XV Captain fell to R. R. Challoner. and much credit is due to him for the fact that this Team was by no means merely a nursery for the support of its Senior Brother. On the contrary. it developed an individuality of its own. playing. at times. polished Rugger. frequently registering the most embar- rassing Cricket,' scores and. even. on occasion. contriving to beat opponents who had previously been dealt with by the lst. XV itself. The Colts were not so successful as usual. but they showed that there is promising material lower down in the School. XN'e must thank Nlessrs. Rlelly. Macadam and Seale for considerable assistance on the coaching sideg nor must we forget Major YVise. our l6th. man. whose kindly-critical presence on the touch line is almost a 'sine qua non' for a victorious game. His Union Club hospitality at the lst. XV Annual Dinner will long be warmly remembered. The number of Parents and Friends who so unselfishly provided transport is too large to be given here in detail. Vile are fully aware that the Game's the thing. but we are sufficiently human not to be able to resist the temptation to exhibit 15
