18 Ellie Aahhuriun by bad luck all through the season, but was one of the main- stays of the attack. lYas a little disappointing as a batsman as he failed to make use of his height and reach. M. D. MacBrien. lst year on the team. With no experience at the beginning of the season he steadily developed into quite a sound wicket keeper. As a batsman he lacks scoring strokes at present but has a sound defence and should improve con- siderably next year. E. R. Allen. 2nd year on the team. Improved in his timing from last year and made runs on several occasions. Needs a little more discretion in picking out the right ball to hit. A good catch. XV. Hurd. lst year on the team. Shows promise as a batsman and has a good straight drive. Rather inclined to pull a length ball on his leg stump. A change bowler who should be useful next year. Sound in the field. L. Snelling. lst year on the team. A young batsman who shows a decided aptitude for the game. At present he cannot control his body sufficiently and does not swing correctly. Rather clumsy with his foot work, but if he takes pains should im- prove greatly next year. A good catch and an intelligent field. E. R. NVilson. lst year on the team. A slow bowler with a decep- tive flight, who varied his pace. XVas perhaps not utilised as much as he might have been. A good catch. F. E. B. VV. ASHBURY vs. BISHOP'S COLLEGE SCHOOL Played on the McGill Campus. May 25th. Bishops won the toss and batted first. They were obviously a good batting side and began very steadily. Some really consistent bowling backed up by excellent work in the field reaped its reward as when the lunch interval came they had lost seven wickets for 78. Some sound batting by VVilson improved matters 'for Bishops when the game was resumed and the total reached 129. Kirkpat- rick and Powell both bowled with great steadiness and the fielding was good. lVhen Ashbury went to the wicket they collapsed badly before some excellent slow bowling by XVilson and were all out for 46. XVilson bowled very intelligently and came out with the excellent Figures of 9 for 23. Ashbury followed on and quickly lost two- wickets. Then Hyman and Powell made an excellent stand and, scoring at a very fast pace, added 92 for the third wicket before the latter was bowled. Hyman went on hitting all round the wicket and when the closure was applied with six wickets down for 161, he had succeeded in reaching his century. His best hits were 18 fours. ln the time that was left Bishops scored 54 without loss.

-Q Ellie Aulihurian l Qlrirkrt lst XI Colours :- T. XY. Beauclerk 4capt.f. G. D. Stanfield tvice-capt. 1. A Powell, G. Hyman, H. A. Cowans. bl. B. Kirkpatrick. The season was quite a successful one and at one time it seemed as if we might win the Ottawa Yalley Cricket Council Cup. but the crucialgame against Defence was lost by a small margin and we failed to repeat our success of 1929. We beat Lower Can- ada College fairly easily but had to bow to Bishop's College School. in spite of a century by Hyman, the first ever scored for Ashbury in a school game. The Old Boys' game was ruined by the weather as not a ball could be bowled. CRICKET CHARACTERS 1934 T. XY. Beauclerk. Captain. -lth year on the team. An untiring cap- tain who always gave of his best. A natural forcing batsman who was handicapped by faulty footwork. Inclined to be rather careless. Developed considerably as a lob bowler with a facility for getting wickets when they were wanted. Safe catch and good in the field, though inclined at times to be too strong with his returns. G. D. Stanfield, Vice-Captain. 3rd year on the team. A stubborn batsman who was hard to dislodge, but possessed of consider- able hitting powers. A stiffness in the shoulders prevented a really straight swing. Safe catch and a good field. A. Powell. Znd year on the team. Possessed an excellent eye and was a fairly consistent scorer, but will never develop as he should until he learns to use his feet. A sound medium paced bowler who could always be relied upon to keep a length. A good field and a safe catch. G. Hyman. 3rd year on the team. XYas the most prolific scorer on the side. Has some excellent off shots, which he has the gift of timing well and was always ready to attack the bowl- ing. If he could remember not to draw away from balls on the leg Stump he should develop into a highly useful batsman. Sound field and steady change bowler. H. A. Cowans. 2nd year on the team. iYas the soundest bat in the side. He developed into a most dependable player by sheer hard work. Had a good off drive and pulled anything short of a length with accuracy and power. An excellent slip fields- man. Should pay attention to his bowling. J. B. Kirkpatrick. 2nd year on the team. A much improved medium paced bowler who always kept a length. XYas dogged

ASI-IBURY vs. LOXVER CANADA CQLLEGE Played in Montreal on May 26th. Ashbury won the toss and batted first. Beauclerk and Hyman gave them a good start, scoring 33 for the first wicket. Cowans joined Hyman and a great stand followed, 65 being added for this wicket. Hyman hit with great freedom all round the wicket and when he was caught off a skier had made 66, which included 9 fours. Cowans batted 'well but the only other st-and of note was between Kirkpatrick and Allen who put on 20 for the 9th wicket. Allen hit a ball out of the ground for 6. The total reached 139, not so large a score as at one time seemed probable. Lower Canada went in and collapsed badly. Beauclerk bowled his lobs with great effect and seemed to paralyse the batsmen. He was backed up by some excellent work in the field, and the whole side was out for 48 Beauclerk secured 7 wickets for 12. Lower
