The repairs to the river bank alongside of the Fellows' Garden were successfully completed and the remaining piles burnt off below water level just before the Michaelmas Term began. The work was done by Messrs John Howard of Westminster. During the latter half of the year the rooms on '0' Staircase in Friars Building were converted to bed-sitting-rooms under plans prepared by Messrs Hughes and Bicknell and carried out by Messrs Rattee and Kett. There is some excellent mahogany fitted furniture including writing desk, wardrobe and concealed wash basin. On the top floor is a bathroom. Piping for hot water supplies to the whole staircase has been included, but will not be connected to the Dokett heating system until a decision has been made as to whether to convert the whole of Friars Building. The clock above the Library, by Messrs Cooke of York, gave some trouble towards the end of the year and a complete overhaul, including new parts to the escapement and rebushing main bearings, was advised by our clockmaker, Mr Cook, who has 4

attended it for the past thirty years, following another craftsman who looked after it from its installation ninety years ago. It has been overhauled by the Engineering Laboratory Workshops, and is now like a new clock. A 3-inch gas main was led into Dokett Building, making possible additional gas fires both there and in Friars. Other gas mains in Old Court have begun to leak in places and will shortly be replaced.

THE UNITED CLUBS ROWING

Captain: F. R. Spink. Vice-Captain: R. K. Finch. Secretary: R. C. Wright. The club enjoyed a most successful year. With no one outstanding and no calls to Trial Boats, a well-balanced eight was built up, and the Fairbairn Cup saw the College placed 3rd, the highest position ever reached in this event. This early promise was maintained in the May Races, when the 1st boat bumped Pembroke and moved up to 6th on the river, and was confirmed at Marlow when, after winning through four rounds, the eight beat a powerful Clare crew, to win the Marlow Eights for the first time ever. In the Ladies' Plate at Henley the first eight came through the first round by winning a fast race against Emmanuel, but succumbed toÂˇNew College, Oxford, who went on to win the event. The Four which was entered for the Wyfold Cup was eliminated in the first round after a close race. RUGBY FOOTBALL

Captain: G. A. Sharp. Secretary: H.P. Gray. Committee: P. Barnes. The club was able to run three XVs but did not have a very successful season. M. T. Maloney played several times for the 'Varsity ~nd later gained an Irish Trial Cap, whilst D. A. QEine played in the centre for the LX Club. In the 'Cuppers' the XV, after a o--o battle in the mud, forced Downing to a replay, but then succumbed by II-3, mainly as a result of over-keenness which led to penalties being conceded. 8

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL

Captain: J. A. Hull. Secretary: L. A. Newbery. Committee: R. C. Peagram. League results left the club with few promotion hopes or relegation worries but three members of the College played in the 'Varsity match-R. Cowan, E. W. N. Jackson and J. A. Hull. Great hopes were entertained of a star-studded 'Cuppers' side but the XI went down to Magdalene. HOCKEY

Captain: E. N. Button. Secretary: J. M. Wiltshire. The club endured the double misfortune of being relegated to the second Division and of being knocked out by St John's in the first round of 'Cuppers '. Two QEeens' men played in the 'Varsity match-the Captain and centre-half, D. I. Pearce, and E. N. Button, who later gained an International Cap against Holland. ATHLETIC CLUB

Captain: D. K. H. Prosser. Secretary: E. Collins. Committee: D. H. Houseman. Although no Blues were gained, A. Wood and G. Band represented the C.U.A.C. against Cambs. County A.A.A., and, with J. Tresfon, a versatile athlete who took the Freshmen's High Jump with 5 ft. IIÂ˝ in., and J. G. Clarke, represented the Alverstone Club against the O.U. Centipedes. CRICKET

Captain: A. J. Trott. Secretary: G. M. Cochrane. Committee: P. Barnes. The club enjoyed a successful season and the opening match, in which over 200 runs were scored in under two hours to win the match, was the epitome of the light-hearted cricket that was played throughout the term. A consistent batting side, backed by steady, if not outstanding bowling, lost only one Inter-College 9

match. 0. B. Popplewell again kept wicket in the 'Varsity match, whilst A. E. H. Rutter gained his Crusader's Cap. The tour in Somerset proved a great success. Playing seven matches in eight days with only eleven men proved a trial of endurance, but the College won three and drew two of the seven games, among their victims being the Somerset Stragglers. SQUASH RACQUETS

Captain: A. R. Morris. Secretary: P. Reynolds. The club maintained its position, the first team winning five out of twelve matches, the second winning two out of twelve. The outstanding feature of the season was the award of a Halfblue to G. W. T. Atkins. TABLE TENNIS

Captain: D. E. Cronin. Secretary: P. G. Read. The three College teams fared well, the first being placed equal fourth in its Division and the other two both equal second in their respective Divisions. In the 'Cuppers' the College team was narrowly beaten 5-4 by Christ's, who went on to win the competition. LAWN TENNIS

Captain: M. E. Monkcom. Secretary: D. E. Cronin. Committee: G. M. Myers.

Inter-College results were disappointing, but S. P. 0. Kumi played in both Singles and Doubles against Oxford and M. E. Monkcom captained the Grasshoppers.

LACROSSE

Captain: J. C. Kershaw. Secretary: H. Higgins. With the largest membership in the University the club won the Inter-College Competition, beating Christ's in the final. A. J. L. Rigby, P. B. R. Gordon and]. C. Kershaw played in the winning Cambridge XII last year and later represented the Combined Universities against Yale. IO

SWIMMING

Captain: H. P. Gray. Secretary: C. Mortimer. The club reached the final of the Water Polo 'Cuppers ', losing to St John's by I-6, whilst H.P. Gray again played against Oxford. RIFLE CLUB

Captain: S. H. Thomas. Secretary: H. W. Symons. In the University Small Bore Club, the College was placed second in the Inter-College Competition; P. W. Taylor kept the Individual Challenge Cup (the Cronin Cup) in the College for the second successive year and H. W. Symons was awarded the Captain's Spoon for the highest average over the season's matches. OTHER EVENTS

Although no official College clubs exist, it is interesting to note that the College possesses the British Ski Champion of 1949-50, W. S. Parkinson, who together with R. Parsons represented the University against Oxford. P. Turner and D.S. Brown performed at Judo for the University. SAINT MARGARET SOCIETY

Vice-President: S. C. Coleman. Secretary: R. Adlam. In the Michaelmas Term the Society purchased a new gramophone which greatly improved the quality of the Sunday evening recitals. The May Week Concert, at which the St Margaret Singers performed under R. Adlam, Mrs Potts played two pieces by Scarlatti on the harpsichord, and the Orchestra played the 5th Brandenburg Concerto, was a great success. SAINT BERNARD SOCIETY

President: C.]. C. Pugh. Vice-President: M.]. C. Wheeler. Secretary:]. S. Thomas. Several motions were debated and the attendances were a great improvement on the previous year. II

'THE BATS'

President: D. R. Graebe. Vice-President: S. C. Coleman. Treasurer: Mr Potts. Secretary: F. G. Smith. Business Manager: I. W. Hussey. Besides the usual three stage productions during the year, the Society has organized play-readings and other activities connected with the theatre. Nuts and Crackers, a revue in the Michaelmas Term, was produced by I. W. Hussey, assisted by T. K. Stratford, and the music was written by Dr Beament. In the Lent Term, F. G. Smith, assisted by A. Wallace, produced Tobias and the Angel, with C. Temblett-Wood as Tobias. The Society's main production of the year-an Elizabethan play in Cloister Court-was Romeo and Juliet. The producer was R. S. Glen, and he was assisted by B. N. Meredith; T. K. Stratford played the part of Romeo. Four performances were given in May Week; the usual saboteur, the weather, was unsuccessful in actually interrupting performances, except for the last ten minutes on the opening night. Many members participated in University productions. H. W. Letty produced the Mummers' Too True to be Good in the Michaelmas Term, as well as an independent production at the A.D.C. in the Long Vacation Term. Members took part in Oedipus at Colonus and Why go to the Zoo; the Mummers' Hassan; the Marlowe's King Henry IV, Part II; in the Footlights' Come What May; and in the Theatre Group's Hey Nonny No.

AN OLD BENEFACT OR Many members of the College are familiar with the grandfather clock which stands in the dining-room of the President's Lodge. This was the gift of Edward East (1602-1696/7), clockmaker to Charles I and Charles II, and a founder of the Clockmakers' Company. An article on Edward East by H. Alan Lloyd, M.B.E., F.B.H.I., appears in the Horological Journal, May and June 19 50, and we are grateful for permission to print extracts. The will, dated 21 July 1688, contains the passage: Aliso I give to my Daughter Anne Sam1ders my capitall messuage or Inne in Ladd lane known by the name of the Swan with two necks To hold the same for and during the T erm of her naturall lifc upon condition that she yearly pay forty shillings for a sermon to be preached in Ironmonger lane on St James day five pounds yearly to Brazenose Colledge in Oxford and two ponnds and twelve shillings yearly to Qgeens Colledge in Cambridge all the days and times mentioned in the Will ....

Mr Lloyd remarks that 'East presented a clock to Qgeens' College, Cambridge ....The clock is inscribed, 'To Qgeenes Colledg Cambridg the Guift of Edward East Clockmaker to King Charles the second 1664' .... It is a 30-hour clock and was evidently originally placed on a bracket with the inscription plate on the apron of the bracket'. About The Swan with Two Necks, he says: 'It appears that in 1607 James Stoddarde (or Binks) left £ro annually to be paid as to £ 5 for a poor scholar at Brasenose College, Oxford, and as to £5 for a poor scholar at (Qgeens' College) Cambridge. This sum was charged on "The Swan with Two Necks" in Lad Lane _ [?Old Jewry], London.' 'The College', he remarks, 'is still receiving rent in respect of the site of this inn.' 19
