On the night of Friday the 26th. the School Hall was packed to capacity and the spectators enjoyed a good evening ' s sport. All the contestants were evenly matched and all bouts were hard and well fought. Among the most noteworthy was the one between Lines and Spurling at 86 lbs — in this Spurling was awarded the ' School Prize for the best sportsman. Among the most feared of Boxers was of course Majme, who proved much too tough for Dixon. During the Preliminaries Goodner succeeded in lasting three rounds with Mayne, which was a very fine performance. In the Seniors Cartwright showed great promise as a cool and clever Boxer, while Botelho showed great promise in defeating Cassidy

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 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.

This year was, however, disappointing and we only managed 3 decisions in the whole evening — this did not however reflect upon the contestants as they really put on a first class show for the School. Luck was however against us in many ways that night — Mayne was unfortunate enough to fracture his finger during the Preliminaries,
