AN 'ALBIOIV XI 1Home1 The presence of two local Stars in the opposition seemed to unnerye the side. Challoner and Huntley did very well to get them out for 71, but the batting lacked any kind of resolution and the School was lucky to draw. 'ALBION' XI UNIVERSITY SCHOOL VVilkinson, b.

XI y. 'SHAIYNIGAN' ilAway1 This game appears to have been a resounding victory for the School, but it might have proved a yery different affair but for the partnership of Rooper and Simpson. which yielded 50 runs just at the right time. Our opponents only managed to gather I9 runs. a position which was due entirely to the very steady bowling of Huntley I 23

Rooper, fViee-Capt., Challoner fCapt.j Simpson Queale CRICKET, 1953 PLAYED 51 woN 31T1E1J li IJRAWN 1 This year the XI did well to come through without defeat, although on the whole their performance was not as good as we had hoped for. Challoner and Huntley bowled excellently through- out-so excellently that no others were required to show their skill with the ball. The batting again proved to be the weak spot and no one came up to expectations consistently. The fielding on the whole was good and at least one match was won because catches were held. Challoner topped the bowling with an overage of 4.00 and Simpson the batting with an average of 13.5. Colours were awarded to Rooper, Huntley and Simpson. VVe must thank Major WVise for his close interest during the Term. At his suggestion a bowling competition was instituted for both Seniors and Juniors and he kindly presented prizes to the winners, Huntley I and Peers. At the end of the Term he arranged for concrete wickets to be laid. and working parties set to vigorously to prepare the site by the Tennis Courts. It is to be hoped that this generosity will repay dividends in the future, for both these innovations should greatly assist in improving the standard of play. E.T.M. 22

and Challoner, backed by clean fielding by one and all. IVe had very few runs on the board when Simpson made his appearance at the crease but immediately he took the situation in hand by his show of confidence and concentration. His total of 28, with Rooper's 22, was invaluable. They both found the gaps in an unfortunately placed field and their quick running between the wickets was'a joy to watch. After their departure runs came more easily. but not in relation to the solid foundation they had laid by their crisp hitting and calm domination of the opening bowlers. We may have deserved to win, but the game rather showed up our opening batsmen, who should have had an easy task in passing a small total. 'SHAWNIGAN' UNIVERSITY SCHOCL Douglas, ct. Rooper b.

'SHAIVNIGAIV iHomei The XI repeated its win in the return fixture. The batting was again irresolute and slow, and. but for a useful partnership between Simpson and Queale. the School might well have been in difficulties. As it was. Challoner was able to declare at 63 for eight wickets. Challoner and Huntley again proved too difficult for the 'Shawni- gan' batsmen. Csvold and Smith did well for a while but, once their partnership was broken. the remainder of the side were soon out. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL 'SI-IAIIVNIGAN' Huntley. l.b.w. b.
