FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 19-1-1-19-15 UNDER 1-1 v. B. C. S. at Molson Field. Sat. june Srd. S. H. S. batted first but opened poorly, Newcomb being out unluckily. 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

FOR THE SCHOOL YF.-XR 19-H-19-15 and ourselves. This success was the more creditable because the team had no really out- standing players, and was the result of hard practice, elyfective team work and good cap- taincy. Our two victories over B. C. S. were very satisfactory as the Prep had been unbeaten for a considerable number of years. We should like to take this opportunity of congratulating them on their long run of success and on their good sportsmanship both in victory and defeat. The departure of some of our most promising players from the Vth Form last June spoiled a very excellent chance we had of winning the Ashbury Cup as well. As a result, the Under 15 team was compelled to rely over much on Gray, Xlcblaster and Magor, all of whom played brilliantly. At the age of 1.3 Gray was already the best all-round player the school has produced for many years. The team was of necessity completed by 8 mem- bers ofthe Under 13 team who played keenly and well but lacked weight and experience. In spite of this, only 3 goals were scored against us in the 3 matches played, a fact that reflects great credit on all concerned. The Under ll team finished all square in their two games with L. C. C. and showed plenty of promising material. They too had an excellent captain in Newcomb. MATCHES Mon. Oct. find. LTNDER 15 V. L. C. C. at Royal Ave. - Drawn 1-l. In the first half L. C. C. scored after a mistake by one of our backs, rather against the run of the play. Later Gray went through alone to score the equaliser. Our forwards played well and had more opportunities than L. C. C. but failed to make the most of their chances. Gray, Mcblaster and Blagor were outstanding for S. H. S. Sat. Oct. 1-1th, LYNDER 15 v. .-Xshbury at Royal Ave. f Lost CFI. This game was played in wind and rain, and on a muddy Held that made accurate passing difficult. Ashbury were heavier and more forceful forward, but Gray played su- perbly and there was no score until live minutes from the end of the game when our goal- keeper let in a rather ordinary shot. Mon. Oct. 30th. LlNDER 15 V. L. C. C. on the Mountain. - Lost 0-1. L. C. C. playing with the wind and slope in their favour scored a clever goal soon after the start. S. H. S. fought back well and in the second half, with Gray and Mcblaster playing their hearts out, we pressed hard but the forwards were unable to put the finishing touches to our attacks. Magor played a very sound game at full back. Thurs. Oct. 12th. LIXDER 13 V. L. C. C. on the Mountain. - YVon 2e0. Barber scored in the first half and Newcomb after half-time. The forwards were extremely good in this game and were unfortunate not to have scored more often. Holmes and Ross l also played well. Vlll
