The following must he rongrntulnted on winning t.icir eolours:Cricket: -J. S. 1\IacKemr-it (Percival); S:. T.. G;1rrnwnr unil J. S. Barrl'w I Austin). }'ootball · --H. R. Ha1·ewood and S. P. Pernuml(•s I Percival.'; 'R. E. Bollen (Rnleigl1); O. T. Donald (Austin) ..

We w,11Jltl direct the atter.ti'on of the boys of the College 'J> 1.bat pnrt ot tl1e Principal's speech in which he appeal:: to Old Boys to SUl.}f'Nt their old school by turning up to sc•: the fo:llmll ':and crickei; matches in which the scl1ool is engagt?d. The fault. i, bad enough in nn Old Boy wlio may reasonably plead lack of thw?, 'but ft is abs<,lutcly unpardonable for you present boys to remain .,iwny matclt after mntch when you sl1ould be shouting yonrse1Yo1 ,hoa1·se for your scl1ool. The foct that the school teams fail to clo _grP.at thingfl is no excuse. It, r.ather a<lds force to our appeal: -for it is when the school teams are losing a game-cspecialJy a. football mat<:h-tbat yon i;:houl<l be cheering, urging, bucking up~ your team t1J '1>ull together." 'Touch-line' support is not essential to the success of a t.cam. but it hel{M! a great deal.

Fire dl'ill prncticP.s were at first regarded hy the boys as good• -op1l0rtunities for larking, lmt th<'y are now entered into with -entlmsiasm. Fire t'xtinp:uiallers haYe been placed in the Chemical and Physical Laboratories.

Matters pertaining to the Gymnasium took a definite turn for the better Iai,;t term. The efforts of Harewood CiJ and Sharples [ii) who did the recruiting work were .rewarded by a marked increase in U1e nverngi! nttcmlance at t.be classes. We are looking forward to the <luy when tile Chu,i, wilJ l1olu its fir11t exhihi-

tion.

On tlte other han\l ,n'.guJnr lessons in carpentry barn ceni,ed

,oµ account of the poor patronage accorded it by the boys. Any of the Senior boys who dc1dre to do carpentry work may, howevP-r, . ,obtain the Princ1pal's permission to m1e the Shop.

YE THAT WOULD HEAR, HEARKEN! Irt tile days of long ago, when knights were boltl and barons bacl, there lh·ed a knight. Now this knight was not as othe1• knigJats; his cxceecliug great fatness 11lace<1 him in a clas!-1 by }1imself. Fo1•sooth the fatness of this knight was extraordinary-. fro give you an i<lea of his corpulence, he ba<l to baYe a speci11 l ''liche cut in the side of the feasting tables of each of tlle friemb· ·1ouses at wl1kb he was a regular visitor.

Now the King of_this land was a wise man nncl a just, nncl lie sent forth the fiat (that means a. law), that no man sl1011Id ket•p :n slave for more than ten years. Such a law could not he ll'ft alone u~· the other barons, so they made a- resolution f i;trictl? among themsdYes, of coursf'·1 ti'1at 011 penalty of having his hon~,· raided, eaelt t-:law-owuer should work tltcir sln,·cs till the horn~·· showed.

Hockey is credited ~itlt n J1101·e l'emote beginning than mm;t ·of our modeni ball games. The ancient origin of the game if1 -clearly indicn~ed in a bas-relief uncnrthed in Athens only lust .yea,r. This l'eJ.!resents the opening Rtnge of a match. Th_e slmpe .and size of the ball ai1d stieks ngree clmiely with that of our .modem. implements. The attitucle of the plnyen rind their relative positions bear a strikjng resemblance to our present chy procedure: ~\1,art from any ot.her interest, these facts are t•on-• elusive proof of the antiquity of the game. Even if one liad l'LQ ~onal c.-<perience of hockey, one coulcl safely conclude thnt ·there is ·a great deal to be sai<l for any game which reta-hl':I it!I ,main characteristics for some 2,500 years. · The great value of hol.'key is that it is essentially n team. .g11me. Combination and understamling bet\\·een the memhl'rs ,d a team arc the prime necessities. Selfish individual plr..1, • ,however showy, is eYen less useful in hockey than in other teatu games. Another attractiYe feature of the game is its g1-eat ~ In good hockey tlle bnU is practically always on tho ground and 1,asses are take11 directly on the stick 'without u11i "II the· hands or feet to steady t11e ball. Thus the pace of the game " is only limitc<l by the plnyen' powe1·s of keeping up witl1 flte ball.

In mauy l'eKpedR the b,an1e closely resembles association ·football. Hence hO<'key is enslly picked up by those familiar -with the othe1• game. The team c..-onsists of· eleven players; five 'l>rwnrrls, tlnec halves, t'\\·o l)nc-ks and a goalkeeper. The dutiet ·, the v11riour,; positions arc. inuch the same as for the corre1t-0nding pln.yc1s in footbnU, except that if possibie the oppo!'I· Ing attack must be more closely marked by the defence. A horkey ·stick weighM from twenty to t\\·enty-four ounces. It consistM of ·a· curved asJt blade to which is spliced a cane handle like ·t.bat -of a cricket bat. The ba'lf is merelv· U: wliJte cricket ba.11. T~e ground is n hundred yards long ·and fifty yards wide.; Th_; g9als. are twelve feet wicle ancl se,~en feet high. In front of the ·g~ls are two semicircles or' fifteen yards radius, called tho.

Eifriking circles. A gon.I' can only be liit from ~ithin this circ•la. ·The rules of the game are comparatively fe:w and are quite -simple. .

Even now, one occasionally heal'R the opinion expressed that 'lince membf'rs ot the fail• sex frequentlj' play hockey :with a

CRITICISM OF THE CRICKET TEAM Taken m n wlaole, the tcnm of 1i from wbich--tlte Elevens fol'· tl1e ·<liffc1·cnt matches were selectccl, possessed better batsmen t!mn bowlers. Om· attnck which was considerably weak in the first thl'ec matches, was, however, greatly streugthenecl by ·th•! :ncluidon of l\lr. Lewis in Ute team.

FOOTBALL 1. ,JUNIOR Ll•JAGVE AND UUSSELL CUP: MATOHE8,

~.

This yenr, for the first time in lier history, Queen's withdrew. from Urn Junior League Competition. This course, winnimously decided on by t]1e Gnmes Committee, wns necessitated by the. r; fusal of the B.G. Foothnll Association to postpone, as was ctt:'!· tomnr,r, thoi.e mntd1es which had ueeu fixed for dates during the Angm,1t holidays.

This wns tlic Inst of a series of misfortunes that befell the foam. In Utc first. place, and tlte Association is to be blained for tltis, the season began far too late. Had it begun early in ~fay as it usunlly uoes, the opening match would have found our men: in form. ConsiRtcnt practice <luring the EaRter holidays had ~n*>ught the forward line to a high standard in combination and 'shooting, wl1i1e our defence was as good as ever. But on the''rcs1m1ption of sc]10ol, for yarious reasons, practice matches ceased. f:om,11•11nentJr, wh<>n we plnJecl our first match against the G.F ,0.1 I h<' mnjori ly of tile team were off colour. In this match we were !'lev<'r1•lr thrr,i-hl'<l (4 g-onlN-11il). Then again, the best two play.; ers in I Ill' n·llool hail decided to cast in their lot with another Chtb. ~lllli1·•1'1lt haN already been Raicl 011 this subject, but wJ, wonl<l li1rn 1o point. 011t.hcre, thnt tltel"l~ is nothing commendable in tlw nl'tion of tile 1•aptaiu of (he tenm who encouraged two boys to 11<> cfodo~·nl to the s1'1100I thnf taught them football.

Our opponents were the Wolverhampton 'F.O. ,,V<1 <ll'fent<>1l them h~· fom• gonls to one. In this match our forwardi. rombiocd 1111(1 shot well.

In our next ,Junior Lenr,ne mah-It ngninst the Shamrock F.C. we were defeate1l hy two goalR to one, tlinukR to Fmme bungling by the d,efence•.
