Shawnigan Lake School Magazine School vs. Cranleigh House Played in Victoria on December 12, 1925. The first eleven match in the afternoon was the best game of the day. the score being 3-1 in our favour. In addition to the ground being very slippery, there was a strong wind blowing, against which we played in the first half. However, we held them to no score until half time. With the change of ends, the school got away at once and Bastin scored with a good low shot in the corner of the goal. Cotton scored shortly after, and again later on from a fine dribble-up and pass by Groves. For the school, Rochfort i played extremely well in goal. His judgment in running out was good and in the one goal scored against him he did not have a chance. Groves was always good, as was Best i, in fact it would be hard to pick out any one player, the whole team combining so well together. School — Rochfort i; Ferguson, Best i; Parr, Groves, Rip- ley, Wallbridge, Draeseke, Cotton i, Bastin, Lacon.

School (3rd XI.) vs. St. Michael ' s This was the first match of our great day, December 12, when we took three teams to Victoria and won every game. Our Juniors showed distinctly better team work than their opponents and succeeded in winning, 7-0. There were moments when the ball rolled gently across St. Michael ' s goal mouth and nobody seemed able to put it through, but in spite of this Lake ii played a hard game at centre-half, while Walkem i, Deming and Cooke all scored goals — the seventh was everybody ' s effort. School — Mannell; Playfair, Hilton; Barker, Lake ii, Brad- ford ii; Rochfort ii, Walkem i, Garrard, Cooke, Deming. Cup Team vs. St. Michael ' s The only unfortunate thing about this match was that it was played at the same time as, and on the adjoining ground to the third eleven game mentioned above, thus causing partial dislocation of the neck and acute mental suffering to the spec- tators, especially to those parents ' 1 r«o had boys playing in both games. The ground was very slippery and muddy, but Shawni- gan got away to a good start, Loggin scoring our first goal with a fine shot from the left wing. The remaining two goals were scored by Gillatt and Best ii, thus bringing the score to 3-0. Larsen l and Merritt both played well at full-back, while for St. Michael ' s Redpath was the only one with real life; he did not, however, receive enough support. School — Rochfort i; Larsen i, Merritt; Barclay i, Haddon, Bazett; Slater, Gillatt, Best ii, Taylor, Loggin. Page Nine

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine Cricket THE standard of Cricket is certainly much higher than ever before, and 1926 may safely be taken as our most successful season so far. We only lost one match, and that by the small margin of one run. The bowling was our strongest point, and we were for- tunate in having a fair number of change bowlers. Haddon should develop into a really useful left-hander; he has still to realise that length is the essence of all bowling, and that a bowler should not lose heart if wickets do not come as soon as he expects them. 1 - : W f% t « f3 1 . V --Jh J] am M n 1 ' r r m jm Jmmmm Our batsmen, while showing considerably more style than formerly, did not, on the average, make as many runs as might have been expected of them. Best i developed into a useful hitter, and of Robertson we hope to hear more in 1927. The latter is a good illustration of the point we brought up at the beginning of the season: the absolute importance of each boy having his own bat, and that bat one which both suits and fits him.
