24 INTER-HOUSE FOOTBALL REPORT This year ' s football competition was the cause of an unusual and vigorous determination to win. The spirited rivalry was due to exhaustive attempts to Instill greater house spirit in the boys, which efforts bore fruit. The bid for the championship was very well contested indeed and the decisive match between Darrell and Watlington exhibited some constructive and gentlemanly football with Darrell taking the honours with a penalty, clinching an extremely close game, 1 -0. Unfortunately, Butterfield and Saltus were handicapped in their lack of able footballers and lost 3 and 2 of their 3 games respectively, which, incidentally, is no indication of the great enthusiasm and fight which the two teams exhibited In all of their games. Darrell captured all 3 of their games and Watlington were successful in 2, their only loss being against Darrell. The football competition is always one in which good clean rivalry and sportsmanship is shown, and it is useful experience for junior league players to play against senior boys. J. R. SIGGINS, Sr. V. RUGBY FOOTBALL Getting off to a slower start than last year, due to a prolonged football season, two potential seven ' s were quickly formed and trained by Mr. Hunter and Mr. Farrow. This year positions in both teams had to be earned, consequently training sessions were more frequent and harder. It was soon found that we had more three quarters than forwards, and it was in the packs that our main weakness lay. A week before the actual seven a side Tournament, both sevens had been formed and were playing together smoothly, the three quarters were getting the ball out to the wing and the forward getting It back In the loose. Unfortunately the first seven didn ' t really hove strong enough opposition in practise games, and chaps were inclined to play out of position. All the same, by the time the big doy came both teams had a good idea of how rugby should be played. As usual Saltus A team has the unfortunate knack of picking the strongest opponents for the first round, in this case Kindley A , who beating us in the loose every time, never gave our very fast three quarters a chance to get moving. Had they done so, I feel the outcome would hav been different. The marking was bad but the tackling, although slow, was good, the forwards although vastly out-weighed put up a gallant fight, led by C. E. Campbell. The B team. Captained by A. D. Dodwell, were again beaten by a Kindley team, but as they did last year, showed surprising spirit and played a very keen, if somewhat wild, game of rugger. In conclusion, both sides deserve credit, everyone gave of their best, and with the young blood, which is now taking a keener interest in the game, combined with the experience of the older players, we should do well next season. C. K. MURDOCH-MUIRHEAD, Sr. V.
