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

SFLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Ross I. llfull back and inside leftl. Not altogether sound in his clearances, but tackled with commendable determination and with more experience should do really well. Bmcnlax. llfull backl. A late discovery, his unruflled calm had a steadying influence on the team and he should develop into a very reliable player. Mchlasraa. 1194-3f-ll. QRight halfl. Played brilliantly in a new position. He gave un- sparingly and his vigour and lighting spirit were quite invaluable to the team. GRAY. H9-l2f3--ll. Cfentre halfl. Captain. The best all-round player the school is likely to have for a long time. He excelled in every department of the game, and in addi- tion was a terribly hard worker who always played cleanly. .-Xrrkan. CLeft halfl. A player of ability who improved during the season but needed too much urging to produce his best. Always seemed a little out of condition. Homiias. fI.eft halfb. Always went all-out, and for his size played a remarkably good game. Used his head to advantage. Niaxvcomis. COutside rightj. A very promising player with a good turn of speed. VVas beginning to centre well. Should practise taking corners. Bovey. llnside rightl. A harcl worker who dribbled well and tackled back consistently. Later, as centre forward, he opened up the game skilfully. Captained the Under 13 team excellently. lg.-XR'l'H0l.UMEXV. lfentre forwardl. Played hard and used his head well, but could im- - prove his shooting when close in. Should have a very good season next year. Bono l., lOutside leftl. Showed promise, but was inclined to lose touch with his inside and must practise sending across centres. F. G. P. l'-Nl
