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

SHLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Alon. Oct. 23rd. LlNDER I3 v. I.. C. C. at Royal Ave. - Lost O-l. After having had all the better of the game, including a penalty kick, we finally lost out when L. C. C. scored the only goal towards the end of the second half. The for- wards were incredibly ineffective in front cf goal and missed countless opportunities. Only Bovey and Ross l showed their true form. Sat. Oct. 28th. LlNlJER I3 v. B. C. S. at Royal Ave. - Won 3e0. S. H. S. started very strongly and Bond l and Newcomb scored early in the game. The whole team combined well to play brilliant football in the first half. After half-time, the B. C. S. resistance stiffened and it was near the end of the game before Currie scored again for S. H. S. The shake-up in the team following the defeat by L. C. C. resulted in a much more effective display. Bovey, Ross 1, Beaubien and Bartholomew played parti- cularlv well. Sat. Nov. sith. l.lNDER I3 V. B. C. S. at Lennoxville. - XVon 2-l. This was a most exciting game with all the scoring coming in the first half, Pollard getting both goals for S. H. S., the second on a break through by Bartholomew. In the second halt' B. C. S. fought every inch of the way, and with our backs Ending it hard to control the ball, Lindsay was called upon to make several brilliant saves as the B. C. S. forwards broke through on a number of occasions. This victory gave us the Cup and Pol- lard was carried shoulder-high from the field. Thurs. Nov. 16th. LlNDER 13 v. L. C. C. at Royal Ave. Y Won 2-0. Our victory in this game atoned in some measure for the previous defeat by L. C. C. Bovey scored in the first half and Marler in the second. Bartholomew, Ross 1, Beaubien, Holmes and Bovey were best for S. H. S. in a game in which good combination was rather lacking. Thurs. Oct. lllth. LlNDER ll v. L. C. C. on the Mountain. - lVon 2-O. Newcomb scored early in the game for S. H. S. and Hanson in the second half. Currie and Bond 2 played well at half, and Newcomb was the best of the forwards. Thurs. Nov. 9th, UNDER ll v. L. C. C. at Royal Ave. - Lost 0-l. In the return game Currie and Newcomb played well but the rest of the team seemed rather lost on the large Held and the forwards were seldom dangerous. l22l
