FOR THF YI-XAR 193341939 The season's matches opened with a win against L.C.C. played at Royal Avenue on May 16th. L.C.C. were all out for -16, Palmer capturing 5 wickets for 15 runs, and Birks 3 for only -1 runs. Selwyn House, up against a small total, faced the 1..C.C. bowling with unusual confidence, and when time came, 68 runs had been made for the loss of 1- wickets, Little being top scorer with 29, Palmer 21 and Gault 13. ln the home and home games with Ashbury the honours were shared. In Ottawa on May 23th Selwyn House won comfortably, running up a total of 79, Sutherland heading the scoring with a well-played 33. Ashbury were dismissed for -11 with 10 minutes to spare, Palmer taking 3 wickets for 11 runs, Sutherland 3 for 8, Thompson 2 for S, and Gault 2 for 7. The return game played on the Campus on .1 une -1th ended in a well-deserved victory for Ashbury decided on the hrst innings, there being no time to complete a second innings for both teams. Selwyn House won the toss and batted first, but were all out for 51, Gault with 17 and 1.eN1esurier with 22 being the only two to find their form. ln reply Ashbury batted carefully and well for a total of 7-1, a long eighth wicket stand, which our bowlers could not break, making a lirst innings decision inevitable. ln the second innings, playing out time, Sutherland and Palmer hit freely all round the wicket for 23 and 28 respectively. The Cnder 1-1 match against B.C.S. ended in a defeat for Selwyn House by 72 runs. B.C.S. declared at 1-13 for 9 wickets, Sutherland getting 3 wickets for 17 runs, and Gault -1 for 2-1. The Selwyn House innings was feeble, escept for Fleming I3 and Little 29. During the term two good matches were played against teams consisting of parents and Old Boys. Although the School lost both games, the team felt amply compensated when Fleming hit a 6 over the deep boundary off Mr. 1Yanstall's bowling. With ten of last years XI left, prospects for 1939 look very bright indeed, and hopes are entertained for an unbeaten season. But this aim can be achieved only by hard practice both on the field and in the nets. Qluluurs 111 Pzzfuzer l1936e7-SD Captain.

G. flominll H938 J. lixcellent in the Field. Must change his stance at the wicket if he ever hopes to defend it against straight balls. Should improve next season. R. l.f.llr.f111'fr1' H938 l. Had a very good eye and hit hard until caught or bowled. A brilliant fielder, very accurate with his returns to the wicket. li. f.'11l:'e1' 119381. Had very little opportunity of gaining batting experience through going in late, but should improve greatly with a little practice next season. Very good in the field. jfnnthall 1938 Played T' Won 3 f Drawn 1 e Lost 3. A more successful season than the previous year, due to more experience and weight, but still somewhat disappointing. Owing to the increased numbers in the Senior School, opportunities for practice on the full Field were less than in other years, so that passing and shooting suffered accordingly. The bnder I5 team's record was none the less very good, beating LLQC. twice, winning one and tieing one against Ashbury, and going down ro only one defeat against a team of Masters and Old Boys. The bnder 14 team did not fare so well, being well beaten twice by a much faster and cleverer B.C.S. team. The first match was against Ashbury at Qttawa on Oct. 15th. Ballon scored from a free kick early in the iirst half, and Fleming soon after, from a melee in front of goal. Ashbury scored once in the second half and the game ended in a lei victory for Selwyn House. All played hard in spite of the hot weather, Goodall excelling at Half, but the passing was inaccurate and sometimes very weak. The return match at the Xyestmount Grounds on Oct. 27th. ended in a l all tie. Ashbury played a much stronger game than they did in Ottawa, but the Selwyn House forwards failed to get near enough to the goal to make any shots efiiective. Poor passing was again to blame. The two games against L.C.C. played at Royal Avenue on Oct. Illth and Nov. 10th were both won comfortably -l-O against a lighter and younger team, while the game against the Nlasters and Old Boys was lost by the same margin. Qlnlnurs. GOAL. B. .N'u1lii'r!zzmz' 119385. Played well all season. Very quick and sure with his hands, and good at clearing to the wings. Will be a great asset to the team next fall. BACKS. Righf. H. Linlr H936-'7'-87. Tackled and cleared well but sometimes wildly. Has invaluable as a deterrent to any one of smaller stature. Lfjt. T. Bfaikfnrk tCaptain 1936-7-SJ. Played consistently well and always on the spot in an emergency. Kicking and clearing greatly improved since the previous season, especially with his left foot. A splendid captain both on and oft' the held. l33l
