DISTANCE RUNNING seHoo1. czizoss eot'N'r1tv The School Cross Country took place late in the Easter Term. Eyes I, for many years an enthusiastic performer, was the first man home and the worthy winner of the Old Boys' Cup. Both Eyes I and Connorton, who ran a good second. represented Brentwood House and they were followed by Milner, Hudson I and Cutt, all of Founders House, Cutt, the fifth to finish, was also the first junior: he won the Ralston Cup for this fine performance. One hundred and twenty-three entered, Founders House defeating Brentwood House by a narrow margin. ROYAL ROADS CROSS COUNTRY It was unfortunate from the School's point of view that the Annual Cross Country at Royal Roads was held on a Saturday. as some of the best runners were busy on the football field. A team was entered as usual and those who ran enjoyed an extremely well- organized race. a splendid course and the experience of competing against heavy opposition. Eleven teams entered. the School placing tenth. Of the sixty-four entries Connorton, the first School finisher. placed twenty-ninth, his time being 24:09 as compared with the win- ner's 19:37. Other School entries were Mattsori t48th.t. Devlin t-I9th.i and Boas t57th.t, SCHOOL v. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The annual run against Victoria High School took place on the road around Uplands Golf Course on February 26th. Once again the High School were easy winners. placing eight of the first ten men home and winning 27-67. For the first time for many years, however. the individual winner wore black and red, Getz running a splendidly- judged race to draw away in the last two hundred yards and finish strongly in 23 m. Eves I placed eighth and other School finishers were Ogle t13th.l, Connorton tl4th.t, Laidlaw 1 l5th.J and Hudson I I6th.t. Thirty runners competed but only the first six on each team were counted. JUNIOR CROSS COUNTRY As was expected after his good display in the Senior Cross Country Cutt had little difficulty in winning this event. Dobell I was second and Keble third. There were 67 starters, and Founders House were the winners on a team basis. IV. R. G. WV. 23

RUGBY FOOTBALL B. E. B. Cuppage and F.. Fairbourn were chosen to lead the side as Captain and Vice-Captain respectively. Five other members of the 1956-57 team returned. so prospects were bright. Throughout the Christmas Term all went well. Both St. George-'s School and Shawnigan Lake School were defeated on their own grounds and the only reverse suffered was at the hands of Oak Bay Wanderers. a senior side. The Easter Term opened with injuries to both halves. Cuppage and Pollard. who never turned out again. and then an epidemic of mumps completed the decimation. All subsequent games were lost. and St. George's. quite rightly not wishing to share our mumps. abandoned this important fixture. completing the disap- pointments of the season. In all eleven matches were played. six of which were won and five lost. Colours were awarded to F., Fairbourn. R. L. Pratt. IJ. R. Sleep and I. C. G. Ogle. The full 1957-58 Team was as follows- B. F.. B. Cuppage, E. Fairbourn. W. G. Lund. E. St. Pollard, R. B. Getz, R. L. Pratt. D, R. Sleep. I. C. G. Ogle. F. ll. Eyes. tl, IV. Sey- mour, F. G. Beban. Andrews. E, H. lVoodland. R. R. Fulton and N. I. Bedard. The 2nd XV were not a strong side. and actually between the 2nd. and 3rd, XVs there was little to choose. The matches against Shawnigan Lake School were won but those against St. George's were lost. There was plenty of promise in the 3rd, XV. who won all their games. Clark II, Hudson I. Wittke and Grubb I all showed to advantage. Once again the Colts XV enjoyed an unbeaten season. In Lahey. Y'Venman I and Rigos I they had experienced players. who were well supported both in the scrum and behind it. YV. R. G. IV. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES The season opened at Carnarvon Park on October 26th, when the School defeated Victoria College by a goal 15 pointsi to nil. Both sides were very short of practice and play was ragged throughout. The College. with a vast weight superiority forward. had by far the better of the argument in the set scrums with the result that their outsides had many opportunities. They combined poorly. however. and were able to penetrate the School defence on three occasions only. In each case a centre ran straight through and the School were saved only by very creditable tackling by Nlaude I. the full back, who stood up well under severe testing. Cuppage was out- standing behind the scrum for the School, who fought manfully and were still on even terms at half time. After the restart the School showed to better advantage. Their condition was better than that of their opponents and they had a full 25
