FOR THF SCHOOL YF.-XR 1933-1034 True, in most houses here there are strict rules concerning the compulsory playing of games, but if this were not so, Shrewbury and other schools could not have excelled in the world of sport to such an extent as they have. Just as an example of this, it is sufficient to say that there are three Salopians rowing for Oxford this year, and one for Cambridge, whilst the Oxford coach is a house-master here, and of course, rowing coach for the first eight. The rolling hills of the picturesque country-side afford excellent opportunities for long cross-country runs, one of which, known as the Tucks , in which the entire school runs, is an event of the year. This is simply a glorified melee of boys small and big, and in the five-mile course there are points called all-ups , at which everyone waits till the last of the stragglers has come up. The Shrewsbury Ofiicers' Training Corps is exceptionally well disciplined, and the Prince of XYales, in his visit last year to commemorate the Jubilee of the moving of the school-buildings to Kingsland from the town itself, made special mention of the Guard of Honour. Amongst famous old boys one might mention the hero of the Battle of Zutphen, Sir Philip Sidney. Tradition here is very strong. And now farewell, my comrades, for the night is falling fast, One final word M I promise it shall be the best and last In forging Salop's future don't forget her glorious past, The past that made the future for Salopia. fFrom llze ofd Szzfopian .fong.j R.B. Ulibz Jfatbers' Rlattb 1934 YYe print herewith a report culled from the Montreal Star of this year's Fathers' Match, a most successful function, which took place on February 14th:- The annual hockey match between the Fathers and Selwyn House School team was played on the school rink yesterday afternoon, the school team winning by 8 goals to 6 after a strenuous battle. Following were the teams: Fathers-A. F. Culver, A..-X. Magee, Harold Savage, Bill Chambers, Clarence McCuaig, James Johnston, Magor, Gerald Hanson, Philip Mackenzie, H.C. Flood, Armand Chevalier. School-P.T. Molson, Tomlinson, Hale, Russel, Barclay, Peacock, Hodge, Leslie, Barott, P. Mackenzie, S. Stewart. Fathers scored first but generously consented to cancel the goal when the referee discovered that they were playing an extra man. The first and second periods were very even but in the third Fathers became a bit confused, one of them letting loose a bullet like drive which completely fooled their goaler, an item from which they never recovered. It is understood that after the game, Grandfather RJ. Magor was handed a contract for signature by the Montreal Maroons. For the school all played well, Leslie scored 5 goals and Peacock 3, being ably assisted by other members of the team, who played a fine unsel- fish, passing game. One penalty was handed out to the school team for tripping- the fathers coming through with a clean sheet, showing they have forgotten the dirty work of other days. Mr. Pattisson ably handled the game and Mr. YYanstall afterwards dis- pensed refreshments to the combatants. l33l

FOR THF SCHOOL YEAR 1933-1934 to try to make the runs. Thanks to spirited innings by Hodge, Kemp, Tetrault and Peacock we made a great bid for victory. Hodge and Kemp put on -ll for the Srd. wicket, and Tetrault and Peacock followed with an exciting stand. The innings closed, however, in the last over of the match for 82 runs. Hodge 22, Kemp 20 and Tetrault 13 were the highest scorers. Tetrault, -l wickets for 47 runs, and Byers, 2 wickets for 36 runs, both bowled steadily against good batting. Kemp took the other wicket at a cost of 7 runs. W'e played two matches with Allan Yale's Park Avenue Xl. W'e were well beaten in the first, but won the second, in which Birks distinguished himself with a hard hit 28, and Lyman made lo which included a six. C. Tetrault captained the team. He has a good knowledge of the game and a Hair for leadership. He worked hard and keenly both on and off the lield. He is a good spin bowler and a very safe and quick fielder. His batting is uncertain,- strong on the leg- side, he also has some very attractive shots to the off, but he does not get over the ball sufhciently and therefore puts up catches. Birks' fielding at Cover point was excellentg he is quick and clean. His batting suffers from impatience, but he has some very nice shc ts and should improve considerably. Byers is a rapidly improving slow bowler and a very sound defensive batg when he learns to put more weight behind his shots, he should make a great many runs. Kemp keeps wicket well, and is very keeng he has a stiff ungainly batting style, but should be able to overcome this. Lyman, who was unfortunately just too old for our School Matches, is a good bowler with a high, easy deliveryg he is a very safe catch and capable of making many runs with a good eye, long reach,and a forcing styleg he must develop quicker foot work. We shall expect to hear that all the above are doing well in their new Cricket fields, and we wish them luck in getting off to a good start. Hodge and Barclay are the foundation for next year's team. Hodge is a very sound bat, with a variety ff strokes. Barclay is stolid rather than attractive, but 'he is very useful and improving. Barott, Peacock, Little, Hingston, Stewart, Kerrigan and Hen- derson all show promise and improved during the season. Henderson is very keen and with more strength might easily develop into a good batsman. Kerrigan has a good eye and is quickg with plenty of practice he should make a great many runs. Sutter The Soccer season like the preceding Cricket season was dogged by unfavourable weather. Owing to the arrival of Winter on October the 25th, we were unable to play our away matches with either Ashbury or Bishops College School. Once again the final of the Sixes --f- Patch ev- Ross-had to be postponed until the Spring. We played three games with L.C.C.g as these were regarded as team building games both sides used spares which is contrary to the regulations governing Association Football. On Friday, October the 2Oth., we played Ashbury College under 15 team in the lNT.A.A.A. grounds. Ashbury won fl-O. The following quotation from the Ashburian is a generous but just summary of the game. W'e were too heavy for our opponents who played an excellent game and were very neat and etticientg their passing and playing together as a team were very much better than ours. l35l
