10 THE ASHBURIAN 1st XI COLOURS. P .B. Smellie (Captain), E. W. Beardmore (Vice Captain), E. C. Elwood, H. C. Hammond, H .A. Fauquier, A. Henderson, G. Perodeau, B. Robinson. We came back from the summer term earlier than usual and had great hopes of an early start for cricket and more practices than usual ; the weather, however, decreed otherwise and was very unsettled throughout the season, so that, although only two matches had to be abandoned on account of rain, a great many practices were spoiled. It was disappointing that Lower Canada College had to cancel our annual fixture which was made for May 24th. We were glad to receive a visit from St. Andrew ' s College, Auora, and had a very interesting game. The XI went to Toronto and played matches with Upper Canada College and Trinity College School ; a return game with St. Andrew ' s had to be abandoned on account of rain. We found

THE ASHBURIAN 9 Smellie and Craig tied with 18 points each for the Senior Challenge Cup. These two are outstanding in their special events as well as being good all-round athletes ; they should go far. The Intermediate Challenge Cup was won by J. Gait and the Junior by H. Powell. F. Sherwood ran a well-judged race in the Half Mile to win the Beardmore Cup. Mr-. Norman Wilson has very kindly given a Challenge Shield for Inter-House Competition in Athletic Sports. This was won by a narrow margin by Dominion. SUMMARY Senior Sports Results for last five years. HIGH JUMP Record, P. Smellie 5 ft. 7 Record, F 100 YDS. R. Daniels | 10 4 5 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 J.

THE ASHBURIAN 11 the Toronto schools with their better faciHties for practice and ' ' Old Country professionals to bowl at their nets, stronger than we were, but we gained very useful experience and the only way to improve one ' s game is to play against stronger opponents. Our batting, bowling and fielding bore favourable comparison with that of our opponents, whose strength lay in that they had a greater number of batsmen and bowlers to choose from. CRICKET CHARACTERS 1930. E. W. Beardmore : Vice-captain. 4th year on the team. A brilliant field and very reliable bat with a variety of good strokes ; a useful change bowler. H. A. Fauquier : 4th year on the team. An erratic fast bowler. A lazy field but a safe catch. A forceful bat and head of the batting- averages. E. C. Elwood : 2nd year on the team. A wicket-keeper who let very few byes ; he dropped a few catches because of being too eager. A very reliable and stylish bat. A good lob bowler and a good judge of a run. H. C. Hammond : 1st year on the team. A good medium pace bowler and a reliable first wicket batsman. A poor field. A. Henderson : 2nd year on team. A good opening batsman who was high up in the averages. A good change bowler. He fielded brilliantly at cover point. G. R. Perodeau : 1st year on the team. An unreliable bat who occasionally made runs. Did not make the most of his height and strength. A sure catch and safe ground field. F. B. Robinson : 1st year on the team. An erratic field who was sometimes brilliant. A sure catch. Showed good form in the nets but was very unlucky in matches, should be very good next year. W. R. MacBrien : 1st year on the team. A forceful bat, some- times made a lot of runs. A poor ground field and an erratic catch . F. A. Heubach : 1st year on the team. Came into the team late. A good ground field and a safe catch. A forceful bat with good strokes ; should be good next year. M. E. Grant: 1st year on team. A stone-wall type of batsman who never failed to keep his end up. A fair field and catch. P. B. Smellie : A very keen Captain with a sound knowledge of the game. Always gave of his best in the interests of the team both on and off the field. A good fast medium bowler and a clean quick field. Has plenty of scoring strokes but was very unlucky in matches this year.
