SHAWNICAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Cricket THE season was, on the whole, fairly successful. The field- ing of the School 1st and 2nd XI ' s was much improved by the early morning practice, and the batting showed some signs of improvement. The 1st XI were inclined to place too much reliance on two or three players, and if they failed, the side failed. vSlater captained the side much better ; he is still very in- clined to take too long in changing his bowling, also does not watch his field carefully enough. Robertson backed him up well, and his determined batting on more than one occasion pulled the school out of a hole. Ames helped with his wicket- keeping, and fearless batting. The bowling generally was not so good as last year, length often being sacrificed to speed. The keenness shown in the Junior games will, we hope, tend to improve the School cricket in the future.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Hunter. Stand-off Half. Has played very well all through. Inclined at times to hang on to the ball too long. Very good tackle. Kicking needs improving. Martin ii. Forward. A very good hooker, but must learn that his job does not finish there. Dyson. Centre three-quarter. Has come on well, has a very sound idea of making an opening. Very good in defence. Kick- ing improving. Robertson i. Forward. Improved as the season went on, and has the makings of a fine forward ; good in the line out. Must learn to do his share of shoving in the scrum. Bazett. Forward. Started the season very poorly but woke up and played quite well. Inclined to do stupid things. Poor in the line out. The following played, and were not awarded 1st XV Colours : McAulay. Forward. Has the makings of a very useful for- ward. Breaks up quickly. Good tackle. Macrae ii. Full Back. Has filled this very difficult position well. Must try and not be so nervous. Good tackle, and very good kick. Walker. Wing Three-quarter. Started the season quite well, but had the misfortune to get injured. Must learn to make up his mind more quickly. Barclay. Centre Three-quarter. Very keen, but finds it diffi- cult to remember more than one thing at a time. Motherwell. Wing Three-quarter. A very determined run- ner, but at present has little skill.
