14 Football 1946 — 1947 This Soccer Football season was one of the best that the S.G.S. First Eleven has experienced and they were extremely unfortunate to miss the Senior B.S.S.A. Football Trophy. In all the First XI played fourteen matches, winning eight, drawing three and losing three. Each of the three games lost was by the odd goal of a very closely contested match. A total of fifty-seven goals were scored while only twenty-two were scored against them. Great credit is due to Harrison who proved himself to be a very capable captain and a prolific goal-scorer.

13 liave reached their fourteenth birthday. There was, as a result, only one camp last July at which S.G.S. was well represented. Major T. S. Murdoch, V.D., Commandant of the Corps, re- signed his commission after a distinguished career in the B.V.R.C. and the B.C.C. We were indeed very sorry to learn of his resigna- tion, but were pleased to hear that he had retained his position on the Cadet Committee where we are sure he will continue his inter- est in the Corps. The new Commandant is Major Rosewarne, from the Whitney Institute. Another change which has considerably affected us at Saltus has been the resignation of Capt. Hallett as our Company Com- mander. Capt. Hallett has taken a great interest in all phases of Cadet work and he will be greatly missed. His position has been taken by Capt. Gascoigne, who was until his appointment, the Ad- jutant of the Corps. Lieut. Stephenson was commissioned last November upon his arrival from England and has shown a great interest in his cadet duties. The strength of the Saltus Comany stands at the moment at fifty-eight and is organised into one Platoon and a band. N.C.O ' s. Sgt. D. H. Harrison, Cpl. D. A. Gosling, Cpl. G. Smith, Cpl. G.

Athletics The athletic programme at Saltus Grammar School is a very varied one and in a day school it is extremely difficult to find the necessary time for so many activities. Nevertheless, these have not been curtailed in the slightest during the war years, and now that our staff is once more at full strength, games and athletics will con- tinue to get their deserved attention. Soccer Football, Track and Field, Swimming, Cricket, Boxing, Tennis, Gymnastics and Physical Training will continue to flourish under competent gamesmasters and Instructors as they have in the past. At Saltus we are proud of our aim in games and sports which calls for the participation of every boy. This is the principle which guides our whole programme, and as Old Boys will remember, it is still an inspiring sight to see the whole school engaged in a short period of combined Physical Training each day. This year has been a successful one in sport as the detailed report which follows will show; we are looking forward to an even more successful year during 1947-48. S.G.

15 HOUSE MATCHES (JUNIOR) Watlington Watlington Saltus Darrell Result of the House Competition: defeated Darrell 1—0 defeated Saltus 2-0 defeated Butterfield 2—0 defeated Butterfield 2—0 1st Watlington House. 2nd Saltus House. 3rd Darrell House. 4th Butterfield House. S.G. The Junior League lost possession of the B.S.S.A. Junior Cup this season after holding it for eight consecutive years. This was naturally a great disappointment but we were all pleased to see Mt. St. Agnes and Whitney Institute in the final game. We are sure that our defeat will do much to revive interest in the competition and to encourage our juniors to put up a better showing next year. RESULTS Junior League vs. Mt. St. Agnes Lost 0—2 Junior League vs. St. George ' s G.S Lost 0—1 Junior League vs. Whitney Institute Won 4-0 Junior League vs. Mt. St. Agnes Lost 1—2 Junior League vs. St. George ' s G.S Drawn 1—1 Junior League vs. Whitney Institute Lost 0—1 Junior League vs. Dellwood School Won 4-0 Junior League vs. Dellwood School Lost 1—2 Swimming The Annual Inter-House Swimming competition was again held at the Bermuda Athletic Association ' s pool at Fort Langton. Unfortunately the Diving Events had to be taken from the pro- gramme as no low diving boards were available. These have now been replaced and next year ' s programme will once more include fancy diving. Most of our swimmers had been under the instruc- tion of Mr. Bill Brooks during the summer holidays and the stan- dard of swimming was greatly improved. Mr. Brooks is now coach- ing swimming at Harvard University and it is earnestly hoped that he will be able to return once again this summer. S.G.
