16 Cricket Last season the School had quite a useful 1st XI at cricket, there being several promising batsmen and bowlers, and the fielding of the side was as good as, if not better than, any we have ever had. Altogether, they played four matches, winning two, drawing one and losing the other. The chief feature of the matches they won was that the scores were very low, and they won by a very narrow margin, which kept spectators and players extremely excited up to the last ball bowled. The Staff and 1st XI also won both matches which they played, including the all-day game against the R.A.F. which was instituted the previous year. This was a very enjoyable event and it is to be hoped that this all-day game is now a permanent fixture for the School. In the matches on Founder ' s Day, the 1st XI just managed to eke out a draw against the Old Boys whilst the 2nd XI were de- feated. The Senior House Matches showed what can happen and often does happen in cricket — namely a mediocre team defeats a good team. Butterfield House, with only one member of the 1st XI in its team, defeated both Darrell and Saltus to win the Cricket Shield — a very creditable performance. However, in the Junior House Matches, they lost in the final to Saltus but then only by a margin of three runs. Results 19 5 44 1st XI V. Staff 63-123 for 5 wkts. Lost Home 5 6 44 1st XI V.

15 In the House Competitions Darrell won the Senior and Junior Shields both terms, although in the Easter term their Junior House team had some difficulty in asserting their superiority as there were several replays due to drawn games.

17 Athletics The Field and Track Sports held this year on March 22nd proved interesting and keenly contested. During the last four years, the best performances have usually been noted in the Field events, but this year the emphasis was on the Track races. Eleven new records were established and another tie, all in the running events. There were three new events in the programme this year: — ■ Throwing the Javelin 50 3 ards Old Boys under 30 years, and 50 yards handicap Old Boys over 30 years. These were all very popu- lar and undoubtedly will have a permanent place in the list of events. The Senior Point Cup was won by D. H. Harrison and he was appointed Captain of Athletics. G. S. Nelson was the winner of the Junior Point Cup. In the Senior House Competition, Butterfield won the Shield whilst the Junior Shield went to Darrell House.
