Gray played a hard-hitting if rather reckless innings of 22, but apart from Marler, the rest of the side seemed overcome by the occasion. ive made B. C. S. fight for the runs, but they succeeded in hitting them off for the loss of-1 wkts, and went on to make 76. Gray took 5 wkts. Ross 3 and Paterson 1. In the time that remained S. H. S. batted again and fared much better, scoring -19 for 2 QNewcomb 23 not out, Bovey 1-11. Result :- Lost. S. H. S. 38 and -19 for 2 wkts. B. C. S. 76. UNDER 13 v. L. C. C. at Royal Ave. Thurs. June Sth. L. C. C. batted first and ran up 101 for 6 wkts. before declaring. Once again our bowlers began well and then failed to press home their advantage. Our fielding generally was good, but two important catches were dropped. Bartholomew took 3 wkts, Ross 2 and lN1arler 1. 1Yhen S. H. S. batted, the first wicket fell at -1, but Bovey and Paterson took the score to 51 in an excellent partnership, both batting with skill and good judgment. VVhen rain stopped play, the game was in a most interesting position, with our score 62 for 4 wkts. fPaterson 2-1, Bovey 22 not outl. Result 1- Drawn L. C. C. 101 for 6 declared. S. H. S. 62 for -1. LTNDER 1-1 Team. Characters. NEXK'COLIB. CCapt.D A strong batsman when he got going, but was handicapped by a weak defence, and was unlucky in matches. Bowled well on occasions, and his fielding was good. GRAY. Adopted rather a baseball mentality towards the game with unfortunate results. Has the ability to become an outstanding batsman and bowler, and his fielding is already extraordinarily good. KINGMAN. Showed considerable promise as an all-round player in his first season, and has the makings of a sound opening batsman, when he learns more scoring shots. BOVEY. The l'DOSt promising batsman to appear for some years, with the rare virtue of scoring most of his runs on the off-side. Kept wicket well and later fielded brilliantly at square leg. Ross 1. Bowled with a good length, but is inclined to throw and will have to change his action. VN'ith better defence, should develop into a useful batsman. Fielded well in the slips. BARTHOLOMEXV. XYas beginning to bowl well, and fielded keenly, holding some good - catches. In batting he must cultivate a defence against good length bowling. PATERSON. Improved considerably both in batting and bowling and his keenness should ensure him a very good season next year. Fielded well. MARLER. Very keen and showed promise of becoming a good all-rounder. His fielding improved beyond recognition. LINDSAY. Developed well as a batsman and was a useful fielder. BALLANTYNE. Strong on the leg side, but not sound defensively. Fielding very fair. BALLON. His batting lacked confidence and he seldom did himself justice as a result. Very good in the field. F. G. P. 1191

SF.I.WYN IIOUSP SCHOOL INT.-XGAXINP Points are awarded each week to the Patrol or Six winning the most games and passing the most tests during the afternoon. The Sixes are fairly even, each having won the monthly prize twice. In Scouts the liagle Patrol has walked off with the Honour Pennant every month. The Annual Patrol Leaders' Banquet, held at the hlount Royal Hotel on February 24, 1945, was attended hy S. hl. llando, .-X.S.Nl. Aspinall, Troop Leader H. hlarkland, and Patrol Leaders B. hlarkland and Bovey. hilr. .I. M. Kannawin, who is in charge of the Overseas Unit ot' the Canadian Broadcasting Company, was guest speaker. The entertainment, provided hy Scouts and Cuhs, was excellent, The St. George's Drum and Fife Band, under the leadership of Acting Bandmaster Douglas Deeks, played almost continuously during the meal. hlemhers of the Strathcona, St. George's, lst. N.D.G., and VVoodlands Troops acted in short plays. lfour Cuhs from the Hampstead Pack sang. An enjoyahlc time was had hy all the 900 Scouters and Patrol Leaders present., Summer Scouting, with its hikes and camps, relies almost entirely on the co-operation ot' parents. Our summer ventures can only he a success if we have full turn-outs for them. XVe can only have full attendance if parents realize the great, various values that the game of Scouting contains. LLD. and H.M. SPORTS EWS CIQICIQHT' 1944 Chief interest this term centred around the play ol- the Under I3 team. This team contained much promising material, and consideralile prcgress was made in its develop- ment, although the season was regrettahly short. Several of the players were enthusiastic enough to practise hard on their own during the summer holidays, and will reap their reward in the coming season. It isa pity that this enthusiasm forthe game was not shared hy some of the older hoys who will, as a result, find themselves handicapped later at board- ing school. MATCHES UNDER I3 v. L. C. C. at Royal .-Xve. Thurs. May 13th. S. H. S. won the toss and made a good start, hlarler hitting his first ball over the fence for 6. Later, Ross I hatted very soundly for 36 runs, punishing anything on the leg side severely. However, with the end hatsmen failing rather dismally, our total was only 67. L. C. C. hegan disastrously, hut recovered thanks to dropped catches, and, with the Selwyn House howling soon losing its length and accuracy, ran up HS for the loss of 7 wkts. Ross took 3 wkts. and Sharwtzod, Paterson and hlarler one each. Result :- Lost. S. H. S. 6'. L. C. C. H8 for T. IWI
