16 more, if y ou cannot stay in your own yard, I shall resort to sharpening my claws on your charming face. Yours truly (for a longer life) TINKA-POO. B. WALKER. Aged 12. Swimming Sports September 22nd. 1953 Again this year the Annual Swimming Sports were held at the B.A.A. Pool. The standard of Swimming was, I think, below the standard of previous years and only 2 new records were set up. Harrison set up a new record in the 25 yards Freestyle Group B, and Grayston set up a new time in the 25 yards Backstroke, Group I . — their times were 15.8 and 17 sees, respectively. This year we have obtained the facilities of the B.A.A. Pool through the Summer Term — more organised practice is consequently avail- able and I am sure the standard of Swimming throughout the School will be bettered. During our Swimming Sports this year we appreciated the assist- ance given by S. Gascoigne, F. Gosling and P. Welch in the judging. RESULTS: Group A. 25 yds. Freestyle 1. Hooper, 2. Levine, 3.

18 future. However by mid-term a good standard of play was established and the Team settled down to playing good Football. The main fault of the team lay in their waiting for the ball rather than going after it . This resulted in many a goal being lost — the control of the ball however was good and in the forward Line Smith was outstanding. At center half Leach, the School Soccer Capt., showed very good Ball sense and he cleared well up field on every occasion. Junior. This year the School only reached the Semi-Final of the Inter School Trophy and were defeated by Mt. St. Agnes. Play on the whole was of a good standard and under the Captaincy of Lines the team played well. The main fault this year was in the Forward Line — many goals were missed by forwards not keeping their correct position. The strength of the Team lay in the Back Division, through Lines and Godet and they could always be relied upon to get the Saltus Team out of diffi- culties. Combined with this was the magnificent performance that Hayward put up in Goal — at all times he was confident and his handling of the ball was first class. The main trouble came from the tendency to wait for the ball to come to them, rather than to go and get it — this resulted in many goals being lost. The standard of play was however quite good even though the result v as a little disappointing. Congratulations to Lines, Godet, Mayne and Hayward on obtaining their colours.
