18 THE ASHB L'R!f1N CRICKET lst XI Colours :- D. Fauquier tcapt.iJ. T. XY. Beauclerk tvice-capt.l. Syming- ton, G. Stanfield, G. Hyman, G. MacCarthy. The cricket season was notable in that it produced the first century ever hit for Ashbury. Symington scored 141 against the Ottawa C.C. on the Rideau Hall grounds and we heartily con- gratulate him on a most meritorious performance. NVe were un- beaten in the School games. although we had rather the worse of the game with Bishops College School. The game with Lower Canada College was most exciting, Ashbury eventually winning by one wicket with twenty minutes to spare, after a race against time and weather. The team suffered from a lack of adequate change bowling, and the batting was not really sound in the middle of the side. CRICKET CHARACTERS 1955. D. Fauquier, Captain. 3rd year on the team. A useful medium paced bowler with some idea of finger spin. Bowled consis- tently well during the early part of the season, but lost his effectiveness when the School games came on. A little dis- appointing as a bat. Had some good strokes on the off side but often failed to get his left leg across properly. A safe catch and a good slip tieldsman. T. XY. lieauclerk, Yice-captain. 3rd year on the team. A natural forcing batsman with a free style. but is too apt to hit before he has played himself in. XX'ith a little more discretion should develop into a really useful player. A safe catch, who was always quick in the field and sometimes brilliant. .l. Symington. 3rd year on the team. A good forcing batsman who could score at a great pace when set. Used his wrists well, but has not yet learned the value of playing forward. A useful medium paced change bowler who sometimes made the ball keep very low. A greatly improved tieldsman who was very quick with his returns. A safe catch. fi. Stantield. 2nd year on the team A natural hitter who is at present handicapped by an apparent inability to loosen his shoulders. and in consequence does not swing straight. lf he can correct this fault and improve his footwork he should be very useful next year as he has a strong defence. Safe field and sure catch.
