Shaffer, playing on the side for the third year, led the XI, and he .was assisted by C. H, Fibiger as Vice-Captain. In all seven matches were played, three being won, three lost and one drawn. Shaffer was the leading batsman, scoring 111 runs for an average of 14. F ibiger's 30 wickets cost him 144- runs, while Shaffer took 23 for 109 and Lucie-Smith 16 for 53. The Clayton Cup, for which four teams were entered, resulted in a win for Shaffer's team, and The Incogs' bat for the best all-rounder also went to Shaffer. The House Match, which on paper should have been won by Brent- wood, ended in a draw, Fibiger batting well for Founders and saving his side with an innings of 35. Fibiger was awarded his colours, and the full side was as follows:- A. Shaffer, C. H. Fibiger, B. R. Goward, R. E. Grubb, D. W. Beban, E. Lucie-Smith, M. Kennaugh, A. O. Coward, A. Angus, B. Tassin and M. C. Stephen. W. R. G. W. 24

The 90 lbs. XV lost to Shawnigan and St. George's but beat Glen- lyon. The main faults were similar to those of the 105 lbs. XV, plus the fact that in early group games there were 30 Captains! The out- standing players in the games were under-90-lb. boys from Group A, but Wilt looks very promising and the general keeness was en- couraging. Generally speaking the season was highly satisfactory. For many boys it was the first time that they were exposed to the game, and it takes a long time fully to understand and appreciate its merits, but nearly everyone entered into the game with the right spirit and worked hard. Rugby balls were taken out on to the field at all possible moments of free time and useful practice was gained. Many boys should still be available this coming season, so we hope to have a bet- ter playing record. R. W. W. JUNIOR SOCCER Although Rugby is considered to be our main Winter activity a certain amount of Soccer was played on games afternoons, which pro- vided a refreshing alternative to Rugby. Three matches were played, one by a Grade VII Boarders team in Tacoma against the Charles Wright Academy and two games for boys in Grades IV, V and VI against Cliffside Preparatory School. These were all new fixtures, for both these Schools opened only in September, 1959. The games against Cliffside resulted in each side winning one game. Both games were most entertaining and we look forward to future encounters. The game against Charles Wright Academy was quite a mark in the history of the School, for it is believed to be the first time that a School Team has travelled to the United States for a game. It was a full week-end trip which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We lost by three goals to two after a poor first half, due, perhaps, to six hours' travelling. We settled down to a storming second half and all but saved the game. Stephenson, Barker I and Wilde played well. Soccer is a game which requires true ball sense and application, and only Stephenson could be described as a real footballer, but Wen- man, Walton, Wilde, Barker and Berard showed some promise. R. W.

VICTORIA JUNIORS The School defeated Victoria Juniors by two runs. Shaffer made 16 for the School, while Tassin hit 11. When the juniors batted Fibi- ger took five wickets for seven runs. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL Playing away the School lost to Shawnigan Lake by 25 runs. In the Shawnigan innings Shaffer took seven for 45, but Fibiger was very unlucky to bowl 14 overs for 25 runs without success. When the School batted Shaffer scored 17 quickly but was too rash and his vital wicket was lost too early. Goward II alone offered further assistance.
