This year ' s Warwick side was of high calibre, but the school ' s defeats by them were due principally to slowness off the mark, and indifferent marking. Grayston and Simmons excelled throughout the season. Ranee played good football, but was at times on tTie slow side. Leseur and Davidson showed signs of ability, but were apt to kick wildly, instead of concentrating on accurate passing. Smith, at first disappointing.

22 So, the next morning, he walked over to her house. When he knocked at the door, her mother answered, and Jumbo asked her wheth- er or not Clarabelle was in. She said Yes , and that she would call her. When Jumbo asked her to go to the ball with him, she said that Johnny Elephant had already asked her, but she preferred to go with Jumbo. That night, after Jumbo had taken Clarabelle home, and he himself was in bed, he said aloud, This is the best Elephants ' Annual Ball that I have ever been to! STUBBS. Swimming Sports September 25th, 1954. The B. A. A. pool at Eagle ' s Nest was used again for the Annual Swimming Sports. Although the races were exciting and strongly com- peted, there were no new records broken. The diving events were very popular and several boys showed some good style diving. It must bo pointed out, however, that a high standard of performance can only b« achieved through continual practice, and sound training. ' Playing about ' in the water is not enough. Relaxed, effortless stroke produc- tion must be practiced. Considerable help was rendered by Mr. Gas- coigne. RESULTS: Group A. 25 yds. Freestyle 1. Profit 2, 2. Williams 4, Group B. 25 yds.

24 improved towards the end of the season; with more d etermination, he would be very good. Durrell, a newcomer to the side this year, was very impressive; his tackling was excellent, his passing purposefuL Lines and Mayne, handicapped by their lack of height, should prove invaluable members of the team next year; both have plenty of ability, and Lines ' s tenacity could serve as a useful lesson to many others in the side. Vallis, in goal, was competent when dealing with the high shots, but suspect with the grounders! The weakest department was the wings; several players were tried without great success, but Vallis, played on the left wing for the last match, showed considerable aptitude for that position. The heaviest defeat of the season was inflicted by a Company team from the D. C. L. I., which proved far too strong. Next season, it is hoped to arrange some games with Platoon sides. The most exciting finish was provided by the game against B. A. A. Juniors, won by School by the odd goal in five on the final whistle. The season was completed by the annual match against the Old Boys, who, fielding a strong side, won a closely contested game by 4 goals to 3.
