TENNIS, CRICKET Films Shown At Q.C. O n Wednesday evening, 13th July, two films, t h e presen tation of Slazenger Film Library, were shown in th e Q.C. din ing hall.

The first "Colourful Wimbledon" was a tense feature, cen tred on Wimbledon , t he 'headquarters' of World Tennis.

Besides actua l games p layed , it showed us the beautiful settings surrounding Wimbledon and the elabora~e preparations made ever y year m a nticipation of the Wimbledon · Championsh ips. We were a lso given a short account of the origin and developmen t of the game. We saw in action top players like Lew Road, Rosewall, Drobny, Trabert, Maureen Connolly, etc., but especially delightful w a s t h e Men·~ Singles Final of 1954 between Drobny and Rosewall in which Drobny beat the Aust~·alian after a most gruelling struggle.

A notable feature of the film also were the many fashions worn by the ladies which suggest that Wimbledon is a centre of fashion as well as a centre of tennis.

The secontl film was a short feature on the life of Denis Compton the great English batsman giving besides other things demonstrations on the correct way to play certain essential strokes We also saw some typical Compton innings.

A notable feature of the attendance was that, although, invitations were speciitlly to school cricketers, there were noncricketers <in the form of several ,· youngsters in the lower part of the school) present.

Cunningham House won the ;Football Shield in their first year, when they defeated Durban 1wuse in the Final. by 2 goals to l.

It was the first time, that the Shield was contested fpr among 10 Houses; and in or_der to facilitate the easy runnmg off of the competition, it was played on the knockout system. Cunningham House reached the final by defeatin g Percival House in the semi-final, while Durban House defeated Woolley House m the other semi-final.

On the first occasion the two teams met. they were deadlocked at 1-all in spite of extra time. being given. but when the teams met for the second time. Cunningham was able to clinch the victory with a last minute goal scored by their captain Klautky.

Q.C. WINS McSHINE CUP For the first time in recent yeats, the competition for the McShine Cop, emblem for supremacy in chess among secondary schools, was played off. The schools which took part in this competition were Queen's College, St. Stanislaus College, Bishops' High School, Central High School , and East Indian Educational Trust, and matches were played at each school. Throughout the competition. the rivalry was keen, and it was only by a narrow margin of points that Queen's College was able to win the cup from St. Stanislaus College,

PROSPECTS OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM IN TRINIDAD I am assuming here that our projected tour of Trinidad will become a reality. The team which will represent the school in this eventuality will have a strong central defence system consisting of, say, Wong (L.H.), Klautky (C.H.) and Reid (R.H.) -this is our best possible arrangement These boys are hard workers who are not afraid to go full into a tackle. W.ong however should move a bit faster. i.e., anticipate more and look for his centre-half when throwing off. Reid plays a fast robust game at all times but should refrain from charging and splitting when his opponent is in full control of the ball.

The Trinidad defence will find Kautky a great problem and I am expecting great things of him.

Unfortunately I am not as confident about o u r backs, Yong Kong and Adams. They still have a great lot to learn

about positional play, tackling and clearing the ball. They can. however, mould themselv~s into a well co-ordinated force in time to baffle the Trinidadian forwards.

We have recently introduced into the forward line young Michael Isaacs. He plays at inside-left and has a snappy left foot shot, but-his football intuition is, at present. almost non-existent. However, along with Dickie Fields, he can yet be hammered, squashed and forced into a footballer's togs.

These two lads may have talent -why then don't they show·it?

The rest of the line consists of old stagers-Baker (C.F.), David Bacchus (I.R.) and Smith A . R. (0.R.). These boys will gain valuable experience from the tour and I am sure that their game will show immediate signs of improvement.

practice matches. The Colts under th e expert guidance of Messrs. Birkett and Pairaudeau had the basic principles explained and shown to them in specia lly arranged matches.

Practices have not been arranged for the Little Side because there are not enough elegible members but next term it is hoped to r emed y this by transferring members from the Colts.

Incidentally, it is to Mr. E. _O.

" Due" was appointed to pire so that an exctwe W1" at hand for assaulting him. The spectators thoroughly enjoyed themselves. shouting themselves hoarse. The illustrious Plato and the crafty Hannibal were r emoved from their customary places of repose to safer spats.

From here they witnessed a magnificent game. Open net practice was the order of the day. A waste paper box stood Qn end received thunderous blows as " Smiles" trundled from the bottom or magazine end. Owing to the lack o.f sufficient gear, bowling was not permitted from the top or art end. The game started quietly enough. But ·wickets tumbled fast and furious and stirred the players to excitement.

The spectators were warming up.

"Tisilss" in particul a r was roaring for silence. Classical could not st.and uo to the modern attack. Applied Maths. played a great part. On the other hand the philosophies of the ancients proved too deep for the modern students. The "Menace" was adjudged out for hit tilng too hard.

"Cuddo" was out f or failing to hit a straight ball on the middlP stump. B atting came around fast but not fast enough. The waste box was replaced by one of the newspaper stands.

"Gubby" unfortunately could not persuade the ball to hit the wicket "Due" was render ed incompetent and d ecisions were made by vote. "Gubby" made seven first-balls. "Cuddo" was the most successful bowler. We must. however. close these chronicles for the recollection of these painful experiences would be detrimental to quite a few promising careers.

Trace to its history, t h i s ~ was j.ntroduced in the winter of 1891 by Dr. J am es A. Naismith when he was a student instructor at t h e International Training School , now known as Springfield College, in Springfield . Massachusetts, U.S.A. At that time Dr. Naismith was in search of an indoor sport that would maintain stead y membership for h is athletic programme throughout the yenr.

As a result of his success, basketball is now not only America's No. 1 SJ}e(:l.atorsport but a lso her main gift to international sports It was very encouraging to the organisers of the exhi b ition. and to me, an ardent fan, to see the boys take a lively interest in the game. The desired r esult seemed to be achieved.

The ensuing weeks witnessed heated discussions over the technicalities of the game and many times the desire was elli pressed for the inclusion of tbi game in t he school sports pro. gramme. In var ious parts of the school compound boys could be seen endeavouring to improve their dribbling but basketball players would have been appalled at the wide variety of balls used as substitutes for a basketball - footballs. tennis balls, sponge and even a leather ball with which an eager enthusiast was trying to dribble. Other boys could be seen in awkward positions trying to imitate the tricks of the renowned Harlem Globe Trotters and "the nick name of one of the members ("Goose") is now a password in the school.
