FOR THF SCHOOL YEAR 1932-1933 J. KEMP. A safe, keen Held. His batting was disappointing in matches. He must be more patient and quicker on his feet. D. BIRKS. With a little patience and hard work be should become a very good bat. An excellent cover-point. J. Houma. A very promising bat. He has the patience to wait for the right hall to hit and the skill to hit it correctly. XY. BARCL.-X v, Did not do himselfjustice in niatchesg he has the makings of a good bat and is very keen. F. MCCOVRT. Bowled well and with greater steadiness than last year. Has a good eye and hits hard. A fast scoring, attractive bat. His 75 not out v. BIS. was a very sound innings. S. MAcxt r'i'. His timing is his chief batting weakness. He has a good reach and is very keen. J. Bisi-lov. He did not improve as much as was expected. Handicapped by his eyes. B. MILLER. With consistent practice he might make a good hard hitting hat. Has a good eyeg he should concentrate on timing the hall and going for the runs M. Bviiks. He is very keen and did a lot of hard work. At present he has adopted de- fensive tactics to too great an extent, Get over the off ball and hit itg don't let it hit the bat. H J. Pnacock. A very promising bat. Hope he will practise hard. H.

Played at the M.A.A.A. on Monday, Oct. lTt'i. Ashbury won the toss and chose to play with the spin bshind them and against the wind. After some fifteen minutes of very equal play, featuring good passing by both teams, Ashbury scored. From the kick-off the School inside forwards dribbled right down the field and Hingston scored. Ashbury took the lead again before half time. ln the second half, Birks equalised with a hard shot from the wing. Ashbury added another goal and, in spite of keen efforts by Lyman and his forwards, remained ahead. Lyman, Birks and Tetrault were very good indeed, and it was unfortunate that the two latter were starved by the wing halves and inside forwards. The return match, played at Ashbury, was lost by the same score. im

The Cricket season of I932 was unquestionably a success. 'l'he improvement shown by the majority of the School was very gratifying. In the latter respect, special mention must be made of Tetrault, Byers, Hodge and I.yman, whose keenness to practise and willingness to help in every possible way made the tasks of those who look after the games very much lighter. Owing to the kindness of Mrs. I.yman and Mrs. liowdey, who lent us their cars for the purpose, we were able to drive to I.ennoxville for our games with B.C.S. VI'hen we played .-Xshbury, Dr. XYoolcombe very kindly arranged for the team to stay in the School for one night so that, in addition to having time to visit the Mint and Archives in Ottawa, we were able to play the game, not handicapped by an early start and tiring train journey. CRICKIQT XI.fCHARAC'I'IQRS H. KERR: QCaptainl. An enthusiastic Captain, whose keenness was an inspiration to the team. His bowling was faster and steadier than last year. He hits hard but his timing is weak. C. 'I'E'rkAlY1.'r: lCaptain under I-Il. llnsparing in his efforts for the side. He showed very good judgment in the handling of his bowlers and placing his field. :X left- handed bowler, he keeps a steady length and changes his delivery cleverly. A very promising bat, his leg shots are goodi I-Ie usually lost his wicket through not getting over the off balls. S. I.YMAN. A safe wicket-keeper, bowled well when needed. Has a very strong otl' drive, but gets himself out by making his stroke too early. 1161
