THE ASHBURl AN 11 SUMMER TERM 1947 CRICKET ON THE whole, this year ' s cricket was not too successful. The First XI lost their game to B.C.S. by an innings. In their local matches, they managed to defeat the Ottawa Valley Juniors by quite a substantial score, but in their encounters with the New Edinburgh and Cathedral Clubs they were less successful. The First XI was soundly beaten by the Staff and a few days later, the Old Boys managed to overpower the present day boys. In the House Matches, W ' oollcombe gained a narrow lead of one run in the first innings, but Connaught came back with a score of 67 to 29 to defeat them in the second. We sent two Junior teams away to play Selwyn House and Bishop ' s, but neither team was able to overcome its opponents. In spite of spurts from time to time, our teams were not consis- tently strong either in fielding or at bat; but while our results this year were not encouraging, yet it is to be hoped that the practice will all go to help produce a better and more fortunate XI next year. PUBLIC SPEAKING Ox THE mornings of Saturday and Sunday, June 8th and 9th, the public speaking contests were held. On the Saturday morning only the Juniors and Intermediates were called on to speak. The follow- ing day, Sunday, the Seniors took their turn on the rostrum and aired their powerful lungs. Most of the speeches were very good if one takes into consideration the lack of previous experience. The judges were Mr. Ogden Glass, headmaster; Mr. R. A ' right, A ' lr. A. B. Belcher, and Mr. L. Sibley. The contest is annually run and prizes were kindly donated by Mr. Ross McA ' Iaster. The winners were as follows: in the Junior class, Scott II; in the Intermediate class, Genesove; in the Senior class, Pettigrew. G.F. SPORTS DAY, JUNE 12th, 1947 MONDAY, June 9th, was slated for the high jump, cricket ball and mile open events. However, time only allowed for the senior cricket ball, mile and junior high jump. In the senior cricket ball Knight made a close to record throw for first place being followed by Alartinez and Robertson. In the junior high jump Morse took first place, Monson second and Foulkes third. From a big entry in the mile Scott I paced home followed by Pettigrew and Nesbitt.
