THE ASHBURIAN 21 SKI-ING. The jumping and turning competition was held on Monday, February 25th, at Fairy Lake. Mr. Lockeberg kindly judged. The weather had been very unsettled for some time so that the first suitable day had to be taken advantage of. As a result the notice was short and a number of intending competitors were unavoidably absent. Owing to a thaw setting in, the cross country race was not held this year. Ewart who was undoubtedly the best skier amongst the com- petitors jumped a good twelve feet further than the next man but he fell on both his jumps so that Davidson who jumped well and consistently, was placed first. In the turning Davidson did well and gained enough points to keep first place. Johnston was placed second Bassett third and Ewart fourth. MacCarthy I, Bell, Woods, Ritchie, Grant, D. Fauquier, M. MacBrien and Roberts- Allan gained points for their respective houses. Mackenzie and Ewart took part in a number of competitions this season and we congratulate them both on their good perfor- mances. In the Ottawa Ski Club junior jumping championship Mackenzie was placed first and Ewart second. In the Ontario Championship Mackenzie was tenth and Ewart twentieth out of thirty-three competitors. Mackenzie and Ewart went down to Montreal to take part in the Dominion Championship in which out of sixty-six entries Mackenzie finished twentieth and Ewart thirty- fifth, both of them doing the very creditable jump of one hundred and nine feet. J. R. P. CRICKET, 1929 Old Colours: G. T. Southam, A. H. Fauquier, P. B. SmelHe, C. Gausden, W. Bonnar, E. Beardmore. G. T. Southam was elected captain and A. H. Fauquier vice- captain. On the first Saturday of term a school XI played a team of masters assisted by four members of the school. The school won easily by six wickets. The form shown by the school both in the field and batting promises well for the season. In the first O.V.C.C. fixture Ashbury defeated Cathedral C. C by 6 runs. The feature of the game was a faultless innings of 72 by Southam and the bowHng of Gillies (4 wickets for 22 runs) and Smellie (3 wickets for 4 runs).

20 THE ASHBURIAN BOXING. Minor injuries and illness interfered considerably with the boxing last term and a number of boys were unable to continue the course to the end. Consequently the standard of the boxing at the tournament, which was held on Saturday, March 23rd, was not as high as it has been in recent years. A large number of visitors was present, and after the bouts refre shments were served in the dining- room. Mr. G. Glossop kindly acted as referee and Messrs. J. L. Mclntyre and W. M. Anderson as judges. Symington was awarded the new Grant Cup for the best display of ring-craft. Elwood also boxed well. The results were : — Intermediate Lightweight (Semi-finals) — J. Ross beat F. Heubach, R. Rowley beat W. Bell. Junior Lightweight (Final) — M. MacBrien beat J. MacLaren. Junior Heavyweight (Final) — J. Symington beat J. Gait. Intermediate Lightweight (Final) — J. Ross beat R.
