FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1934-1935 There were a great many candidates for places in the teams, and it was no easy matter to choose between rival claimants. Mihen everyone was keen and gave of his best. it is difiicult to pick out individuals for special distinction, but there is no question that much of the success of the older team was due to the leadership of Peacock, the steadiness of Hodge, and the all-round excellence of Tomlinson, Molson and Mcfuaig. In the under l-I team Tomlinson and Molson were outstanding, the former's dash and unseltishness were an inspiration to all, and the latter's consistent accuracy and clear thinking were responsible for giving the forwards the opportunities of which they knew so well how to make the most. Tetrault was probably the most accurate placer of cen- treing from the wing whom we have had. Norsworthy on the other wing is very fast but has not got such good control over the ball. Grier came into the side late, he made great improvement and should be very useful next year. The Weather man was particularly kind to usg no matches were either cancelled or postponed, and we were able to use the ground until the middle of November. An innovation this year was a game with T.C.S. on Monday, November 12th. This proved to be the most interesting game of the season, although we won -L-1, the result was in doubt until the last tive minutes. Selwyn House scored first, then T.C.S. equalised from a penalty kick. The score remained unchanged until tive minutes from the end, when Selwyn House forwards were rewarded for their ceaseless efforts by three goals in quick succession by Norsworthy, Porter and Tomlinson respectively. Owing once more to the kindness of parents, on this occasion Mr. NYalter Molson and Mr. Douglas McMaster, we were able to drive to Lennoxville for our match with B.C.S. on Saturday, Oct. 20th. Three car loads, the Headmaster's in addition to those above, set out after lunch on the Friday. B.C.S. kindly and wisely put us up in the Hospital, well away from the main school buildings, so that our love of pillow-lighting did not interfere with school discipline. The match was played in the morning. B.C.S. scored first and for some time dominated the play. Molson equalised when he kicked a very good corner which hit a Bishop's man and was deiiected into the goal. After this Selwyn House steadily got on top of their opponents, and three more goals were added by Norsworthy, Porter, and Molson. Bishops would certainly have scored again had not Stewart unloosed an extra burst of speed and with great perseverance got back from the far corner to catch and charge the wing. Tetrault distinguished himself by his clever centreing. The return match, played at the M.A.A.A. on November 3rd was won compar- atively easily. The first match of the season, that with Ashbury in Ottawa on October 13th, was won 1-O. Both goalkeepers, Hodge and Barclay, were called on for some brilliant work. A timely goal by McCuaig in the second half settled the issue. Both games v. Ashbury in Montreal were won. The only match lost was the second CUnder 1-ll match v. Ashbury. YYe went up to Ottawa on Friday and spent the night, thanks to Mr. YYright's hospitality, at Ashbury. A very close game was won by Ashbury by one goal. l31l

NYith six of last year's team left, and with l,ester Tomlinson as Captain again, it is not surprising that the team soon settled clown to he one of the hest that the School has had for several years past. The success of lwoth the untler I5 and the lhtler H teams was largely due to omlinson, whose untiring erliorts lwoth in attack and defence, whatever the state of the game, always inspiretl the rest of the team to do their utmost. The tirst l'utler 15 match, played at the Coliseum on lfelwruary 20th against L.C.C., was won 3e2, and was perhaps the lwest win of the season, resulting from line defence play hy Hodge, Johnston, and Peacock l, and a goal by Tomlinson in the last two minutes of the game. Hale and Norsworthy were the other goal Scorers. l-Ill
