.l- SFLWYN HOUSF. SCHOOL MAGAZINE game 3 hy good close passing they were ahle to reliexe the pressure on the hacksand halves, and make a numher of attacks. The game ended with the score I me U in favour of the School. On Saturday Novemher the Rth. a return match was played with St. .-Xlhan's, in Brockville. Conditions were all against good foothall of any kind. .-X gale was hlowing straight down the held so that the only goalfkick taken with the wind sailed over the goal line at the other end without heing touched lthis unusual feat was accomplished hy Peck! and numhers of goal-kicks against the wind came hack like hoomerangs and produced corners. l,yman won the toss, according to his custom, and played with the gale. The play centred round the St. Alhan's goal for the entire halfg twice only did the hall cross the half-way line 3 once a St. Alhan's forward got away hy himself and Sharp savedg the other attack was spoiled hy an otfside. Nlcfourt was called upon to kick a large numher of corners and put in some very accurate ones, hut poor shooting and good goal-keeping comhined to prevent the School from scoring. Un changing ends play of course centred around the School goal. Shortly after the restart St. .Xlhan's scored from a penalty kick for hands within the penalty area. This reverse unsettled the School for a few minutes and St. .-Xlhan's scored two more goals in rapid succession. After this the School settled down and prevented any more scoring. On Saturday Novemher the llnd. a fourth game was played with l..C.C., on their grounds. This match hroke the deadlock and resulted in the School winning hy l --0. A few changes were made in the team, Gray Miller's place at hack was taken by Blake Miller, who played a very strong game, Russel played on the right wing with D. Birks inside and Nlcfourt at half-hack supporting them. Sharp in goal was outstanding, making a numher of Fine saves. 'lihe game like the previous ones was very even, hath goal-keepers heing kept husy. The first half ended scoreless. Half way through the second half, Kerr hroke away down the left wing. Un draw- ing the defence he centred accurately and Galloway gave the goal-keeper no chance to save, a hard low shot into the corner hreaking the season's tie. CHAR.-XCTIQRS Ulf THF Xl S. l.vxiVxx : Capt. Centre Forward. l.ed his team well, always working hard in attack and helping his halves when pressed.

SFLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL NI.-XG.-XZIXF Owing to lack of time the tournament was run on the knock-out system this year. In the nrst round NIcCourt's team defeated Starnes's. lr was unfortunate for the latter that they were deprived of the services of their captain, through an injury, soon after the game started. Porteous's team won from Birks's by 2 goals to I, owing to the propensity of one of Birks's men to handle the ball within the Penalty area. S. IA man's team defeated Peck's in a closelv contested game bv one goal to nil. Iierr's team won from NIiller's by a similar score. The second round was productive of some very close games, there being three re- I1 lX Q Kerr's team defeated Porteous's. S. I.yman lost to McCourt after playing three drawn games. In the tinal round Kerr's YI defeated NIcCourt's by 2 goals to nil. HOCKEY l93I 'lewis as I-I land underl Gray Miller lfapt. I, Blake Miller, If. Nlcfourt, H. Peck, R. Smith, D. Russel, YY.
