Cricket No Cricket Report is included in this edition of the Year Book as I feel that it is impossible to write a balanced survey of a season which is still uncompleted. The Summary of the 1951 season will, therefore, appear in the next Year Book and this practice of delayed reporting will also be followed in future years. M. R. S.

Saltus Grammar School Bermuda Soccer Report 1950-51 The season was an extremely happy one in both Senior and Junior departments. Greatly assisted by the coaching of Mr. George Ainsley, the boys played with an enthusiasm that has sometimes been lacking in former days. They tried hard to make each pass, movement or shot, the result of careful thought and timing, rather than a simple desire to send the ball as far as possible towards the opposing goalkeeper. The loss of our centre-half, Ranee, seemed at first a hard blow for the team, who had come to rely upon his calm- ness in thwarting attempts by opposing forwards. His position was admirably filled by Adcock, however, who came in from the wing half position. The team ' s greatest and most deserved triumph was in the re- play for the Inter School League Championship at the R.A.A. Field. Their opponents, Warwick Academy, were much feared, as they had lost to the school only 2-1 on our home ground and had beaten Saltus in no uncertain fashion 4-1 at Warwick. With both sides
