'l'hc Ashbury match was played in Montreal on June lst., on the W'estmount Park grounds, and was the highlight of the season. Ashbury batted first but were dismissed for I0 runs, liault 1 getting 5 wickets for fi runs. ln reply 3.1-1.5. made hay with rather weak bowling, scoring 131 in 55 minutes. Gault's 57, which included 9 fours and 2 sixes, was the batting record for the last six years. The two sixes were magnificent hits, both of which landed on the roadway beside the ground. Partnered with Gault, Goodall hit freely for a very fast 29. Qllbarartzrs. H. C1.xL'i.'i'. 1'l37e8 9e -10. Captain. A very fine all-round cricketer and a splendid captain.

SPIIAVYN HOVSH SCHOOL M.-XG.-XZINli number of lfnglish boys, who were used to playing football from September to March at their schools in lfngland, was very beneficial, and as this advantage was shared by all the schools with whom we played matches, the standard of school football may be said to have been raised generally. lfinally, the matches all proved enjoyable and produced some excellent team work. The importance of team play was stressed at every practice, and the school teams, once chosen, were given every opportunity of playing together. The result was that although we had lost nearly all the most valuable players from the previous year's team, good combination among the new members enabled us to provide a strong opposi- Ilcili. Two encouraging points to notice for the future were the smart performances of the under l3 team and the low average age of the under 15. This team must have been the youngest to represent the school for quite a number of years. Congratulations to Black, Dobell T., Dawson and Buchanan on being re-awarded their football colours, and to Dobell P., and Morgan on winning theirs. UNDER I5 M.-XTCHES v. Asuncizv at LCC., Nov. lnd., I9-10. f Won 3 - 0. This match was played in a rainstorm on a very muddy field, but nevertheless produced some good football, the School forwards combining well. March and Black scored for the School in the first half, and Dawson in the second, when the team played up very well against a strong wind. Black, Dobell P., and Dawson were the best for S.H.S. V. L.C.C. at L.C.C., Nov. 7th. - VYon 3 - 0. This game was also played in the rain, and the going seemed to suit our team. l..C.C. were not so strong as usual, and making good use of our weight advantage we scored four goals in each halt' by Black CSU, Buchanan 125, Dawson ill, and March fl J. Black and Buchanan played particularly well for the School. v. .-XsHB1'RY at Ashbury. Nov. 9th, f Lost 0 - -l. :X complete reversal of the previous match between the two teams. The day was bright and sunny and the held dry. Ashbury had a stronger side and played very smart football throughout. SHS., having had the First opportunity to score and missed it, played disappointing football. The forwards combined well, but missed some excellent chances to score when in front of goal by incredibly bad and slow shooting. Dobell, P., played an excellent game throughout at full back and saved the side again and again, and Morgan played well at left half. They were both awarded their colours after the match. Qtbaratters. lhIAPPIN. Gozzf. Was never really extended during practice games and became rather unsteady when he did come under pressure. Should improve with experience. IJOBELI., P. Fu!! bark. In his first season as full back played quite the best football on the team. Yyas very sound defensively and also gave many useful passes. l29l
