SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Tetrault scored for the school, a neat piece of opportunism when he ran in to take a centre from the right wing which the inside forwards had all missed. Kemp played a hard game in the centre, and was only prevented from scoring on several occasions by Sharp's timely charging out from his goal. Selwyn House - v f Ashbury. Saturday, October the 31st, Drawn 2 all. Ashbury with their heavier team did most of the pressing but the school backs allowed them very few chances to score. The strength of the backs was due to Porteous' being moved back from halfg always cool and with beautiful ball control, he had a steadying influence on Miller who therefore played a much improved game. Ashbury scored the first goal and Kerr equalised in the first half. Hymen scored again for Ashbury in the second half. For the last few minutes of the game the school did all the pressing and were rewarded in the last minute when McCourt scored from a rebound off' the cross-bar from a shot by S. Lyman. Mr. Morrice kindly refereed. Selwyn House - v - St. Alban's. Saturday, November the 7th, iYon 3 - O. This game was played on McGill Campus kindly lent for the occasion. Most of the play was in the St. Albanls half but the weak finishing of the inside forwards kept the scoring down. Kemp scored twice in the first half and McCourt added the third goal in the second half when he netted a good centre from Tetrault. Birks was back in his real form and made a number of good runs down the right wing. St. Alban's improved in the second half, and made several openings but Pollack rose to the occasion and remained unbeaten. Selwyn House f v - B.C.S. Wednesday, November the 13th. XYon 5 e 0. This game was played on the McGill Campus. It had rained heavily all through the night and morning, and although the sun made a timely appearance in the afternoon the ground was in a condition which made good football impossible. The poor state of the ground seemed to have a more detrimental effect on B.C.S. than on the School, and their backs seldom cleared to any advantage. McCourt scored two goals in the first half' and added two more in the secondg B. Mil- ler scored the fifth. Selwyn House e v f B.C.S., at Lennoxville. Saturday, November the Qlst. W'on -I - 0. Owing to the kindness of Mrs. S. C. Lyman who lent her car for the purpose the team made the journey to Lennoxville by road. After an uneventful but noisy drive we arrived at B.C.S. soon after 12 noon and were entertained to lunch by the School. The Kick-off' was at 2 o'clock. The B.L'.S. team played much better football than they did in the first game. particularly the goalrkeeper, and the game was more evenly contested than the score indicates. llfml

Selwyn House lunder 133 - v f Ashbury Junior School. Tuesday, October 20th. XYon 2 - 0. The .Ashbury Captain won the toss and decided to play with the sun and wind behind him. Ashbury pressed from the start, and for the lirst twenty minutes it looked as though they would win easily. Then Kemp broke away down the right wing, on reaching the backs he centred g Tetrault came in from his wing, took the pass cleverly, and made no mistake with a low shot into the corner. Elated by this success the school adopted more offensive tactics and soon had as much of the game as their opponents. Early in the second half Kemp secured the ball inside his own half, dribbled cleverly through the defence and scored the final goal. Selwyn House - v f Ashbury. Thursday, October the 22nd, Lost 2 - l. The ground passing and ball control of the forwards were very good but the backs had a bad day and mis-kicked time and time again. The .Ashbury centre forward, Allen, scored both Ashbury goals from good centres. ll5l

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1931-1932 S. Lyman started the scoring when he gave the goal-keeper no chance to save a well placed kick from a penalty. Shortly before half time Kemp made a pretty dribbling run from halfway to score. Early in the seccnd half Tetrault ran in and netted a good centre from Birks. McCourt added the fcurth goal from an accurate centre from Tetrault who had made a characteristic run down his wing. B. Miller was indefatigable at half-back and played an invaluable game. Birks and Tetrault played their usual good games on the wings and I-lingston and McCourt passed wellg the latter played with much more spirit than in any previous game. Two matches were played against Lower Canada College. The first was lost -1 - U- The second ended in a scoreless draw. FOOTBALL HSIXPSH 1931 G. Miller. B. Porteous. J. Bishop. H Kerr. E. Chambers.
