21 Cricket Cricket always presents a problem at a day school because of the length of time required to complete a match. In an age when cricket is fast losing its popularity, Saltus is determined to stimulate interest in the fine traditions of the game. The First Eleven was, last year, fortunate to have such a player as A. G. Smith to captain the side in such a capable manner. Colours were awarded to D. S. R. Smith, R. Hayward, D. H. Harrison and D. A. Gosling. RESULTS 1st Eleven vs. S. G. S. Staff (93 for 3, All out 78)-Won. 1st Eleven vs. Staff Depts. (102 for 8, All out 70)-Won. 1st Eleven vs. R. A., St. David ' s (103 All out, 98 for 8)-Drawn. 1st Eleven vs. Admiralty House (104 for 9, All out 98)— Won. 1st Eleven vs. Visitors XI (80 All out, All out 159)— Lost. 1st Eleven vs. Old Bo ys (62 for 4, 200 for 8)-Drawn. Special XI vs. St. George ' s Grammar School (104, 57)— Won. Special XI vs. Whitney Institute (40, 68)— Lost. S.G. S. Athletic Sports The Annual School Sports were held on Thursday, March lUh, on the school field and the event was well attended by Old Boys, Parents and Friends of the school. Although the weather had not been very kind for preliminary training, the day itself was perfect For the first time in the long history of the Annual Senior Point Cup two boys, each equally deserving, gained an equal number of points. D. S. R. Smith with a perfect record of four firsts and D. A. Gosling with three firsts, a second and a third to his credit will each hold the familiar trophy for six months of the year. Records wer not very plentiful but those established were exceptionally good per- formances and it was significant that the Senior Point Cup winners should be responsible for the two new marks set. One record which should not be overlooked was the very fine tea which has once again reached its pre-war magnitude and which was equally enjoyed by the guests and boys. ATHLETIC RESULTS GROUP A-50 yards-1, F. 1. B. Williams; 2, W. C. Acton; 3, G. K. Kitson-Time, 8.1 seconds. 100 yards-1, G. K. Kitson; 2, T. R. Ryall; 3, W. C. Acton.-Time, 15.8 seconds.

Boxing The thirteenth annual competition for the House Boxing Shield presented by Mr. J. W. Cox (O.S.) was held on Friday, February 27th, under the patronage of Brig. W. D. Robertson, D.S.O., O.C. Troops in Bermuda. The preliminary rounds of the competition had been held on the previous Monday and had produced a larger entry than ever before. This made it a very long day ' s w ork for the referee and the judges, who spent very nearly six hours actually watching fights and who certainly deserve a special vote of thanks for so arduous a performance. But it is, too, I think, a sign of a very healthy spirit in the School and an indication of an increasing interest on the part of the older boys in the training and encouragement of the younger members of their respective Houses. Here I should like to mention a criticism that I have heard from a fair number of parents, that it is all wrong to bring pressure to bear on boys who have had little or no training, so as to make them enter the Competition. It is, of course, difficult to provide as much training as one would wish during the Christmas Term and the early part of the Easter Term, while football is being played regularly after school, and I myself look forward to the day when the School can undertake more formal instruction in Boxing. But there is much more opportunity for a boy to learn the rudiments of the art than some of our critics assume. During the Easter Term the usual gym classes are devoted generally to that purpose, although it is, admittedly, not easy to teach Boxing to a class of any size. Then most of the Prefects know a little of what they should teach the younger boys and this year they seemed to be making a real effort to do what they could in that direction; and in the lighter weight groups the winners are, more often than not, those with only a little knowledge but plenty of enthusiasm. Mitchell, for example, cer- tainly weighing some ten pounds more than Woollard, but about two years younger, beat him because he kept up a vigorous attack most of the time. Yet he has had nothing like the experience in the
