SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE CHARACTERS— FIRST XI D. A. Ames (Captain). Captained the side very well on the whole, though at times he did not pay enough attention to his field. Kept wicket consistently well. His batting was very disappointing, he never seemed to get going, mainly owing to not getting his left foot to the ball. G. F. Dyson (Vice-Captain). A good sound all round player. His bowling was very useful. Batting rather lacked aggression. A very good field. E. G. Hunter. Did not come up to his promise as a bat. His fielding was an excellent example to the rest of the side, though his throwing in was inclined to be rather wild at times. G. R. M. Marshall. Bowled well all through, but he must remember that it is length and not pace that counts, and that he must not expect always to get wickets at once. Quite a useful bat, but lacked punch on the off, owing to the absence of his left foot. A good field. D.E. Bradford. A much improved bat, though rather tied up ; should make runs when he learns to open his shoulders. A very good field. J. M. Malkin. Has batted really well at times. Plays with a very straight bat though he lacks scoring shots. Quite a sound field, but must try to improve his throwing in. J. Hutchison. Started the season rather badly, but im- proved towards the end. Inclined to be a slack field. D. Macrae. An extremely good field. His batting was very much of the baseball variety, but he got runs when they were badly needed. C. H. Hyde. Rather a stiff and inexperienc ed bat, who should develop into quite a useful player. Very fair field. The following played but were not awarded their 1st XI colours: R. P. Douty, I. D. Fox, D. Robertson, C. D. Graham, G. F. McAulay. 25

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE THE Boxing Competition took place in the early part of the Easter Term. On the whole the standard of boxing was very fair. More attempts were made to use the straight left than last year, although most of the boys in the School still fail to realize the true value of a good straight left. Malkin won the Good Loser ' s Cup, while others mentioned in this connection were Bates, Savage, Davidson, Drumheller and Miller. Heavy Heavies (over 150 lbs.) As far as boxing was concerned, this was a poor weight. Macrae, beating Redden in the final, displayed more all-round ability than his opponent, who spent the greater part of his time swinging his arms about in the air. Burroughs, in the semi-finals, did well against Redden. Heavyweight (135-150 lbs.) Quite a good weight this year, with some good fights in the early rounds. Davidson fought well all the way through, and his fight with Stewart in the semi-finals was a very hard and close one. Stewart beat Ames in the finals. Early in the first round he landed a hard right to Ames ' jaw from which the latter never quite recovered. Light Heavies (125-135 lbs.) A very good weight with hard fights all the way through. Cautley boxed well through the weight and only just man- 26
