THE ASHBURIAN 19 INTERMEDIATE CRICKET It was unfortunate that little or no match practice was pos- sible for the team before their match with Lower Canada College , all the more so as the side showed considerable keenness and promise. There is no doubt that school cricket would benefit greatly if this difficulty were overcome next year, and every effort should be made to provide additional games. The match with L.C.C. was played in Montreal on May 30th. L.C.C. batted first, losing five wickets for 11 runs. The later batsmen were a little more successful but the Ashbury bowling was steady and well handled, and the side was all out for 30 runs. Fauquier bowled steadily, keeping an excellent length and was well backed up by N. Gait and Symington. Ashbury opened with Robertson and Mathias, and the L.C.C. total was passed without the loss of a wicket. Both boys batted well and their running between wickets was well judged. With the game won the later batsmen took risks and forced the pace, with the result that the side was dismissed for a lower total than had at one time seemed probable. Symington and Coristine made a good stand for the sixth wicket and the former w as undefeated at the close. John Gait kept wicket in good style. Score : — Lower Canada College Armitage, b.

20 THE ASHBURIAN RUGBY FOOTBALL Although we lost the game with B.C.S. the team acquitted itself quite creditably. There was not a great deal of material left from the previous season and team building was a somewhat lengthy task. At the beginning of the season we were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Lou Cote as coach and there is no doubt that the team benefited from his experience. Mr. Apple also assisted in the work and we owe him our thanks for the extremely able manner in which he refereed the school games. Some of the younger members of the team improved consider- ably as the season went on and should prove a very good nucleus for next year ' s side. Early in the season a powerful scratch team of Old Boys beat us with ease, but there is no doubt that this game helped to weld the school team into a side. The number of injuries sustained however rendered match practice more or less impossible for the next fortnight. So it was with rather an untried team that we played L.C.C. in Montreal on Oct. 18th. Ashbury won 10-3, mainly because they seized their chances. On Monday, Oct. 27th, we played B.C.S. on the McGill campus and were beaten 26-1. On the day ' s play we undoubtedly lost to a better side though the school team played below its form. The return game with L.C.C. was played at Ashbury on Nov. 1st, and a very exciting match resulted in a win for Ashbury, 19-15.
