Inter-House Swimming —SEPTEMBER, 1957. The sports were held again at the Eagle ' s Nest Pbol. There were several exciting races, but the outstanding swim of the afternoon was W. Moss ' s record breaking effort in the 100 yds. freestyle. He clipped almost 3 seconds off the existing record set by W. Bardgett in 1948, the new time being 58.2 seconds. He also swam the 200 yds. in a very good time of 2 mins. 18.8 sees. The diving events again proved to be popular, and whilst some difficult dives were attempted, insufficient attention was given to form and style. Boys should remember that when a choice of di e is given, they should do the one which they can perform best. The judges are concerned mainly with the quality of performance, not with the re- lative difficulty of the dive. Winner of the Senior Competition was Saltus, and Darrell House in the Junior. Results : — 1. 25 yds. Freestyle: Group A — 1st. R,obinson (D), 2nd. Down (S), 3rd. Outerbridge (S) ; Time 18.2 sees.

28 Horse Nonsense Some horses pull carriages Which take people to and from marriages, Some horses, too, would like to be married But in what would they be carried? C. SMITH, Form USA. Cricket 1957 The 1st Eleven ' s record of Played 7; Won 1, Lost 5, Drawn 1 is not impressive on paper, but most of these matches were against teams of older and more experienced players and in the games against boys of their own age the eleven managed to attain an even record of one victory, one loss and one drawn game. The fact remains, however, that there was room for considerable improvement in all the funda- mental skills of the game and in the team spirit of the eleven. In batting, the side gave little support to Patterson who time and again laid the foundations for a sizable score only to see the later batsmen fail. During the season Patterson developed into a useful opening bat with some particularly fine forcing strokes off the back foot on the leg side and his total of 156 runs in 7 innings was a very creditable achievement. Redding, Zuill, Lumsden and Gravston all played one or two good innings but all lack the sound defensive technique that makes for reliability. It is to be hoped that if Redding can curb his over-eagerness in 1958, he will make many runs for the school. Lumsden and Whitecross were the most successful bowlers and to- gether with Berry, McCann and Zuill formed a varied attack. Un- fortunately they did not always have the support in the field that they deserved so that it seemed as if three or four members of the team considered keen fielding an unnecessary refinement. Notable ex- ceptions to this stricture were Lumsden, Redding, Berry and Patterson but it should be emT)hg,s7zed to everv would-be cricketer thnt savins; runs and holding catches are as important as making runs. As captain for the greater part of the season Lumsden performed his duties conscientiously. It is to be hoped that in 1958 he will use the bowling strength of the side to full advantage and not be afraid to use the slower bowlers and that t],e field placing will be pflF pt d with more decision and with regard to the character of the bowling.
