SCHOOL vs. THE STAFF Played on May 14th. The boys went in first and suc- ceeded in making 44 runs, Edmonds being the only batsman to reach double figures. The feature of the innings was the smart fielding of Hall at point. The Staff replied with 68 runs, thus winning the match by 24 runs.

MICHAEL ' S Played at Oak Bay on May 28tb, the School winning by 58 runs. The School team batted first and started off very badly, everybody appearing to be very nervous. Things looked very black with the side out for 38 runs. However, St. Michael ' s fared no better, being all out for 28. In the second innings we settled down, and thanks to an excellent 5 1 by Edmonds, who hit all round the wicket, we were able to declare with six wickets down for 96, giving St. Michael ' s a sporting chance to win before time. Shawnigan bowlers -proved too strong, and St. Michael ' s were all out for 48. 8

Collegiate made a determined effort to even the score, but could not defeat the School backs, our forwards scoring two more goals before half time. In the second half Cox, the Collegiate goal-keeper, was given a hard time, the School forwards shooting continuously. His good work saved shot after shot until nearly time, when the School scored their fifth goal. Shawnigan: Ferguson, Best ii, Roaf ii, Bastin, Best i, Cotton, Roaf i, Groves, Schwengers, Macdonald i. Collegiate: Cox, Archbold, Newbury, Marriott, Osborn, Ruttan, Deans ii, Woodley, Mackay, Wright, Phillipps. SCHOOL vs. DUNCAN HIGH SCHOOL (Cup Match) Played at Duncan on March 29th. In the first half things did not look at all well with us; Duncan were the first to score and they maintained their lead until half-time, the School once more showing their terrible weakness in front of goal. In the second half the School team played together better, but it was some time before Neel scored our first goal, to be followed very shortly by a good shot from Best i. Good centres from our outsides went begging time after time, until Groves eventually put one through, bringing our final score to 3-1. Shawnigan: Ferguson, Morres, Best ii, Bastin, Best i, Hodgson, Cotton, Neel, Groves, Schwengers, Edmonds. Duncan: Morris, Young, H. Young, Pitt, Bradshaw, Morin, Dirom, Stacombe, Miller, Dwyer, Robb. Cricket, 1924 The cricket season, although short, may be said to have been very successful, the School winning three out of the four matches. The laying down of two cement pitches for nets was undoubtedly responsible for much added keenness, together with a very noticeable improvement both in batting and bowl- ing; the fielding, however, was poor.

Apart from Edmonds ' innings, a feature of the game was the excellent way in which St. Michael ' s showed us how to play a straight bat.
