Shawnigan Lake School vs. Oak Bay Rep. Team Played on March 31st on our ground. The School put up a splendid fight against the Representative team of the Oak Bay Schools. The perfect understanding amongst our for- wards gave the opposing goal-keeper a bad time early in the first half, Osier II. having very bad luck in hitting the cross bar. Near half time Oak Bay opened the scoring with a goal from a scrimmage in front. In the second half the game opened out more and showed fine kicking on the part of the backs on both sides. After several good attempts by our forwards, Osier II. succeeded in scoring for the School, to be followed a few minutes later by a second goal for Oak Bay, and a very fine, keen game ended in our defeat by 2—1. Teams Shawnigan — Garrard; Adamson (Capt.), Schwengers ; Morres, Hodgson, Best; Edmonds, Tryon, Osier II., Neel, Osier I. Oak Bay Rep. — Mair ; Goodacre, Nixon ; Morrison, Kaye, Haynes ; Weston, Lowndes, Symons, Ivens, Lowndes. Shawnigan Lake School Football Team, 1st XI.

Shawnigan Lake School vs. Cranleigh House We played our return match against Cranleigh House in Victoria on December 2nd and sustained our first defeat. We did not take kindly to a wet ground and slippery ball, and before settling down we had two goals scored against us. In the second half we bucked up considerably, and al- though we were unable to score ourselves, we prevented any addition to theirs, leaving the score at the end of the game : Cranleigh House 2; Shawnigan 0. Shawnigan Lake School vs. Mr. Wingate White ' s XL Played on the school ground on January 20th. Unfor- tunately the opposing side fielded five men short, making it necessary to find last-minute substitutes. This was our first match in the Easter Term. Shawnigan 5; Mr. Wingate White ' s XL 0. Shawnigan Lake School vs. St. Michael ' s We played St. Michael ' s in the final for the Wilson Cup in Victoria on March 24th. ' St. Michael ' s got away to a good start with a strong wind in their favor, and not long after the start Redpath I. scored from a melee in front of goal. St. Michael ' s failed to take advantage of the wind, and just before half time Tryon evened matters for us by scoring ofr a beautiful centre from Edmonds. In the second half the School XI. were combining splen- didly, and Neel and Osier II. succeeded in adding three more goals to our score. St. Michael ' s were unfortunate in this half in having to dispense with the services of Haddon, who was obliged to leave the field through an injury. After the match the Cup was presented on the field by Mrs. Robertson. Final score: Shawnigan 4; St. Michael ' s 0. The Teams Shawnigan — Garrard ; Homer, Schwengers ; Morres, Hodgson.

The ponderous old joke about the problem in Dynamics beginning: A small elephant whose weight may be neglected, can hardly be ap- preciated except by those who have attempted to solve such problems. Teachers of many years ' standing with experience of many types of boys in England and elsewhere agree that it is almost funny to notice how, no matter the class in life or the meridian of birthplace, the boy will make the same mistakes in the same places ; even such things as oe+ar oc 1 and oc+gc = 2x being perpetrated elsewhere besides Shawni- gan Lake ; and the question as to which of two trains travel- ling at different speeds between London and Manchester will be nearer to London when they meet, is heard of not only in England and Vancouver Island, but even in Jamaica.
