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

Sl-II.WYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE On Saturday, October the Zlst., our under 1-l team beat Bishop's College School Junior School -PU. l5.C.S. played a plucky and hard game but were beaten by a faster and mo1'e finished team, Goals were scored by lNIcCuaig 2, Porter l, Norsworthy l. Little was Captain of Football and led his team with enthusiasm and skill. He was a tower of strength to the defence and initiated many attacks. Hodge in Goal was cool and safeg he fully deserved the confidence which the team placed in him. Ross worked hard at back and although his kicking often lacked accuracy he was unsparing in his efforts. Leslie, Ryan and Barclay, the wing halves,marked well and played with great keenness. Peacock at centre-half improved in every game and should be very useful next year. The feature of the side was the forward lineg all tive forwards passed well and in- telligently. Norsworthy and Barott on the wings were fast and centred accurately, Tom- linson at centre was a hard bustling worker who always went straight. Porter and lNIcCuaig are both natural Soccer playersg they work hard, dribble neatly, and kick on their insteps with the knee over the ballg this gives greater power and accuracy than kicking on the toe, but it is a very rare feature of Canadian School football. The following also played: D. McMaster, a very promising forward, he has good ball control, uses his head, and is very neat, P.T. Molson, a clear headed reliable goal- keeperg P. hlackenzie, very hard working but is apt to let his enthusiasm run away with the control of the ball and his legsg A. Scrimger, a hard-working and very plucky half-back, S. Stewart, a hard keen worker, but he does not realise the importance of playing in his position, R. Main, a fast outside, he was too inclined to .eave his wing and so crowd the inside forwards. Wing forwards must stay right out on their wings, otherwise they spoil all passing movements and slow up the game for innumerable touches . FOOTBALL SIXES, 1933.
