,U THE ASHBURIAN THE PGETRY READING CONTEST AMES XYRr:FoRD, Canadian poet of the admirable Of Time and the Lover , kindly agreed to be our adjudicator this year. The contest was held in the school chapel, and proved a most rewarding perform- ance-if only because there were twice as many contestants as last year, when the contest was inaugurated. The Senior School competitors read Edward Thomas, SWedes,' as their set piece, the junior School, Christina Rossetti's Uphill . The unseen passages were respectively, Herbert's The Pulley and XVilde's Requiescat . The Middle School read the junior set piece and the Senior unseen. ln addition each boy read a passage of his own choosing. Dr. XYreford expressed great amazement and pleasure at the number of contestants and at the high quality of their renditions. He found it most diflicult to choose two prize winners, therefore it was decided to award three prizes. liven so, the third prize had to be split, because of a tie. The winners were: lst prize, presented by Prof. A. Edinborough of Queen's Univers- ity-j. Fraser. 2nd prize, to be named in honour of Dr. TYreford, the XYreford Prize-S. lYoollcombe. 3rd prize, presented by C. C. Dayton-D. Alexandor and T. Finlay. XYQ are most grateful to Dr. XVreford for his interest and good judgment.

Actually, as events turned out we were not as successful in our scheduled games as we had hoped that we might be, as we lost posses- sion of The Ashbury Old Boys Cup to l3ishop's. However, there were no walk-aways against us, all games were vigorously played and quite closely contested, and we did have the satisfaction of registering a win against l,ower Canada College-the first in several years. FIRST BISI li DRS CIANIIC in-3 rirst game of the home and home series was played on October 7th, at l3.C.S. It was a clear dav with next to no breeze. .Xt the first of the game l3.CQ.S. pushed deep into the Red, Green and XYhite's territory but were stopped, and Ross kicked a single point. .-Xshbury elected to receive and a run by Pritchard and a series of short passes over centre to john Gill and l.uke XYells put the visitors in scoring position, and Don Brown took advantage of the situation and
