SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 1931 THE standard of cricket all through the School showed a marked improvement. The 1st XI were more self-reliant than in previous years. The fielding was for the most part very good, especially in the Cowichan match at Duncan. Ames was ably assisted by Dyson in keeping the side on its toes. Although the side lacked change bowlers, it should never be forgotten by a good captain that it is the ability to use the material at his disposal to the best advantage and at the psychological moment which often puts a different com- plexion on the state of a match. Too often Marshall and Dyson had to bear the brunt of the bowling when they might have been rested for a while. Dyson, Bradford and Macrae often showed how many runs could be made by good backing up and sound calling.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE G. F. McAulay. Forward. A good fast forward, always well up with the ball though inclined to hang about outside a loose scrum, when he should get his head down. Good in the line-out. E. G. Hunter. Centre three-quarter. Has the makings of a really good outside, but seemed to be always thinking of something else during a game. His hands were rather poor at times, also his kicking. J. Piddington. Forward. A hard worker, has the makings of a good front row forward, good dribbler, with a poor pair of hands ; tackling much improved. H. Housser. Forward. A very energetic player ; rather inclined to lose his head : Must try and learn the rules. Poor hands. G. R. M. Marshall. Wing three-quarter. Rather disinclined to go all out. Must try and improve his tackling. Quite a use- ful kick. The following played for the First XV but were not awarded their colours : W. F. S. Walker, J. Redden, J. R. Matthews, R. P. Douty. vJkjfcA «3l A Otrvvvx- - »x£L - - o A 19
