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.

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

lst. XI v, ST. GEORGE'S +Awayi The start of the game was delayed until after lunch by miserably wet weather. and the School. losing the toss and batting first. started disastrously against the accurate bowling of ulesson and Tynan. Three wickets went down for one run ia wide: and five for seven runs. Rooper came to the rescue with a fine innings. the tail waggcd vigorously and the innings closed at 53-an unexpected total under the circumstances. St. Georgc's. on the other hand. started well and had made 23 before the fall of the first wicket. They continued to do well until jesson was well caught by Moffat on the boundary. Their score then stood at 51 for four wickets. However. the task of winning the game then seemed almost too much for the remaining batsmen. Four more wickets fell for the addition of one run and the tension mounted unbearably as two more runs were scored before the fall of the last wicket. The strain was great for everyone concerned and the Umpires felt at least ten years older after the ordeal. Unfortunately it had proved too great for the Scorers altogether, for the match was declared a tie after a check by the Umpires had revealed that their books would and could not agree.

CRICKET CHARACTERS CHALLONER CCaptainl-Captained the side well on all occasions and showed sound judgment in placing his field. Unaccountably failed with the bat this year, but made up for it with some fine bowling. notably against 4Shawnigan.' Set an excellent example in the field. ROOPER CVice-Captain!-A nervous starter, but once he gains confidence attacks the bowling vigorously. lN'ill improve when he learns to put his foot to the pitch of the ball Weak in defence. especially when playing back. Excellent in the field. HUNTLEY-A slow and rather uncertain bat. Bowled with great skill. keeping an excellent length, and few batsmen could force him away successfully. A sound field 25
