SCHOOL vs. ST. MICHAEL ' S (Wilson Cup) This, the first match for the Wilson Cup, was played at Shawnigan on March 8th, and resulted in a win for the School by 3 goals to nil. The School kicking was very well controlled, and the St. Michael ' s forwards were never given a chance. Best i mark- ing Symons i, the St. Michael ' s centre-forward, played ex- tremely well throughout the game. Shawnigan: Ferguson, Best ii, Roaf ii; Bastin, Best i, Hodg- son; Cotton, Roaf i, Groves, Schwengers, Macdonald i.

Football Season, 1293-24 The opening of the season from the point of view of results was not quite so happy as it might have been. The team, however, soon settled down to play as a team, and though we did not altogether overcome our weakness in front of goal, the defense improved rapidly. For the second year running we won both the Wilson and Duncan Cups. Four matches were played against the Duncan Men ' s Team, in all of which we were very glad of the help of Mr. Davies at full-back. The growing interest in Soccer in the district is shown by the matches arranged with the Duncan and Cowichan schools. We hope this keenness may result in further games this season.

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.
