Shawnigan Lake School Magazine CRICKET THE cricket team had a good season. Five matches were played of which four Avere won and one drawn. Owing to the war no fixtures were possible with Cowichan or Victoria clubs, but two enjoyable games were played with the Royal Air Force. Matches were also arranged with the Royal Australian Air Force, but unfor- tunately these had to be cancelled at the last minute. Much of the success of the team Avas due to good fielding and to the captaincy of Wheeler, who managed his bowlers well and showed good judgment in the placing of his fieldsmen. We had a potentially strong batting side, but except in the Brentwood match our scores were rather disappointing. Fortunately, however, the bowling was stronger than usual and was never mastered by any of our oppon- ents. During the second game with the Royal Air Force, Forrest achieved the rare feat of taking all ten wickets in an innings. 1st CRICKET ELEVEN, 1942 Back row: P. B. Ballentine, E. R. Larsen, R. A. Mitten, J. W. Stokes, J. W. Milligan, H. G. Macdonald. Front row: J. R. Huntington, M. Ganclossi, J. O. Wheeler (Captain), I. M. Forrest, W. McC. Ewing. r 10 i

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine the shoes on his feet are heelless. He advances to the president ' s box, makes a formal bow and turns to face his adversary. The crowd leans forward as he throws his hat into the air and ap- proaches the bull bareheaded. His sole armament is an estoque or heavy flat-bladed sword. As the bull charges the matador deftly waves his eapa or bright red cloak until the animal is in position. With lightning speed he now delivers the last stroke, a thrust through the back of the neck close to the head and downward into the heart. The kill is, indeed, a most difficult movement to perform and the matador ' s skill is greeted with shouts of acclaim. He makes a tour of honour and acknoAvledges the applause as the slain animal is dragged from the arena. Attendants now cover the bloodstains with sand in preparation for the next fight. Every Sunday in Lima, Peru, at the Plaza del Toros you will find Spaniards and natives indulging in their favourite recreation of watching a bullfight. The public has not yet recognized as abhorrent those features of bull-baiting so repellent to the people of other countries. — K. G. R. [ 18 ]
