auadh This game, though not widely played amongst the boys, has its faithful followers and several junior boys are displaying a keen interest. The Larsen Cup is to be played off next term, owing to one of the finalists being ill this term. (Badi minion A growing interest is being shown in this game and more vigorous competition is hoped for in the Ladder games next term. Back Row: W. J. Liaskas, P. W. Machines, T. M. Osvold, F. L. A. Elmaleh, J. E. Berg. Front Row: J. A. Kaye, C. D. Brooks, J. L. Warner. BasLlUt The School fielded a Senior and Junior team playing against the village and Cowichan High School. Though not possessing the game experience of their opponents, they acquitted themselves well and look forward to more fixtures next season. The School competition was played off in the last half of the Easter term. Five teams, captained by seniors, were selected and played each other once. Many good games were seen in the gymnasium but Osvold ' s team quickly showed that they were going to leave little doubt as to the final outcome of the competition. Comment must be made on Osvold ' s own personal play which did so much to ensure victory for his team. Berg and Warner led teams into second and third places with only five points separating them. An imposing shield was presented to the School for the winning team by Mr. and Mrs. Naden. Soccer C le evens This competition was played off in the last weeks of the Easter term when the rugby season had concluded. Ten teams, led by senior boys, played each other once and play was enthusiastic and vigorous. The games often offered the juniors opportunities to make rings round the seniors, which they did on more than one occasion. After some closely fought games, Coates led his team to victory closely followed by the teams of Kaye I and Osvold in second and third places respectively. The winning team received a fine silver trophy, the Lonsdale Cup, kindly presented by Mr. and Mrs. Naden of Seattle. Page Seventeen

The School team played their part in the local Coronation festivities by staging a show at the Shawnigan Village Flower Show which was well appreciated. The School boxing tournament took place early in the Summer term, receiving good support. Eleven bouts filled the programme and provided the spectators with bright, keen boxing even if it was rather unscientific at times. The Heavyweight trophy was won by Ross I, who defeated Coates in an exciting contest. Bellanich won the Middleweight trophy by defeating De Coteau and Mackenzie was awarded the Bantamweight cup on his showing against Ross II. A well-boxed bout against Douglas III won the Featherweight trophy for Gormley I. ? ' ' This sport was very severely curtailed by weather and the School sports had to be postponed until the Michaelmas term. The fine new diving float, built by Mr. Jenkins and presented by the Parents Association, is to be moored off the School floats in deep water. It will provide a great addition to the School facilities and the boys are eagerly looking forward to using it.

Zsrack and rield Sports Owing to cold, wet weather, the sports were decided in the first fortnight of the Summer Term on two separate days. The weather and lack of practice time caused per- formances to be poor from the record-breaking point of view, though some fine efforts were made by competitors. Groves won the sports and Ripley ' s House was divided into three groups and had its own competition. Coates was again the individual champion with Maclnnes champion of the under-sixteen group and Cuppage top of the under-fourteen division. Wright and Young did well in the Ripley ' s House events.

Good batting from Maclnnes (38 n.o.), Smith (13), Osvold (25 n.o.) gave encouragement for the season starting. Cowichan Cricket Club A good game was enjoyed against these experienced players, who won 89 Bright spots in the batting were provided by Simson (20) and Gaffney (15). 75. Old Boys This looked-fcrward-to fixture came en a rather chilly Sunday, though the weather did little to cool the enthusiasm shown by both teams. The School batted first and made 80 (Coates 23). The Old Boys followed, batting in determined fashion. Mr. McGavin conserved energy by relying on fours mainly and Bellm proved very obstinate, coming out unluckily through a very bad stroke to a very bad ball. Ascension Day The School batted first and soon put up a formidable total of 114 though Mr. Painton in particular was bowling very well. Good innings came from Douglas (43 n.o.) and Kaye (24) and Smith (19). Page Eighteen
