SCHOOL LETTER. I' the beginning of this term, as at the end of last term, we experienced some heavy falls of snow. Thus we indulged in some good snow fights, and some skating of sorts. Indeed the weather on the %hole has been very unfavourable to anything but winter sports. Towards the end of February the high winds blew off some of the stone coping from the Chapel roof, as well as doing other minor damages in various parts of the School.

Football has been interrupted to a great extent by the frosts. though we were just able to get in one solitary practise before our matches. Football is now over and we are afraid we cannot look back over a very successful season,, but we refer the reader to the Retrospect.

Hockey and boating are now chiefly occupying our attention.

Quite a number of Hockey matches have been arranged, and the game seems to be more popular this year than it has been for several seasons.

The boaters have experienced bad luck. Unfortunately one of the " clinkers " was badly damaged. It was launched from the boathouse one morning in readiness for the afternoon practice, together with the other boat. When the boaters arrived down at the river, both " clinkers" were overturned, and one of them split from one end to the other. The damage was done by a barge on its way up the river. We hear that letters to the captain

The Confirmation this year will be held on Friday, March i 8th,

by Bishop Corfe, Ex-Bishop of Corea.

At the time of writing the Choir are engaged in practising Stainer's " Crucifixion," which they will give on the evening of March i8th. Judging by what we hear it should be a success.

Few of us were present in York for the Election, but all no doubt experienced the delights of the political struggle in their native constituencies. We heard of a mock election in the School, in which the 'Labour and Socialist members came out at the head of the poll. We hope it was in truth a " mock election."

A list of fixtures during the term will be found elsewhere.

In conclusion we offer our hearty congratulations to Messrs.

Walker and Hallows on their respective engagements.

OLD PETERITE DINNER. The Annual Dinner of Old Peterites was held at the Davy Hall Restaurant on Wednesday, December 22nd. Mr. George Yeld occupied the chair. There were also present the Rev. E. C. Owen (Headmaster) and the following members of the Club :—Messrs.

During the evening several of the company contributed songs, Mr. A. Sample being the accompanist.

This year a new departure was made ; no reporters were admitted to the dinner, and only a short notice was put in the paper.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. DEAR SIRS,

Though we could rise to the topmost heights of eloquence over the deeds of Old Peterites at Cambridge, yet we are constrained by those considerations of space and time to which we, in common with the rest of humanity, are subjected. Our difficulty is not what to say, but what to leave unsaid ; and we hope shat we shall not be guilty of omitting any deed worthy of a place in these annals.

Colley is playing hockey with Emmanuel II., occasionally with Emmanuel I. He also turned out to play lacrosse for the 'Varsity II. We did not see the game, but hear that he did all that was required of him. He has been promoted to be Sergeant in the O.T.C. Clegg has been playing some Rugger, but spends most of his time in Labs. He has been made a Corporal in the O.T.C., and is still in the Jesus' Shooting VIII. Peters' football career received an unexpected check during the earlier part of the term, but we are glad to see that he is well again. We wish him all success as Captain of the Christ's XI. next term.

OXFORD LETTER.

Ingham is playing hockey and fives. More of him we cannot learn, but trust that no news is good news.

Bulmer has moved his rooms, acting on the advice contained in the last letter, with results better than he had dared to hope.

He has been playing hockey when he has not been in the grip of influenza.

Sullivan was playing hockey regularly for Christ's till he met with an unfortunate accident which prevented him from playing for the rest of the term. We are glad to record that he is well on the Nvay to recovery.

Smith has been playing hockey with the Dodos and with Queen's II. We have seen him sometimes on the river.

Molony has been seen on the hockey field—usually as a spectator. He is working hard.

So much for Old Peterites. All this we have had to learn for you at the cost of a coughing and a drenching. No Lent Term would be complete without its daily downpour. The golf course is a swamp ; several grounds are under water ; and yet hack leton came to tell us of the trials of an Antarctic Expedition.

But some of us go to lectures even in the twentieth century.

OXFORD LETTER. DEAR EDITORS, A few days ago I received from your august selves a postcard which I venture to quote at length for the benefit of all and sundry. It ran as follows : " I suppose O.P.'s are not very numerous at Oxford, still we should be very pleased if you could send us an Oxford Letter." What a model of Tacitean terseness !

OXFORD LETTER.

4-25

What subtle sarcasm lurks in that " still ! " I hasten to comply with your demand, and though there are but three of us, still I venture to recount our doings.

In saying that there are only three of us, I have not counted Greenhow, who has left us for othor spheres of activity. I met him at the beginning of term, and he told me that he was just up to receive his " rabbit skin." We salute thee, E. N. Greenhow, B A. Kirby has not been equally fortunate. I am sure that you will all be sorry to hear that just on the eve of his school's last term he was taken ill. The attack did not last very long, but was very severe and effectually ruined his chance, or rather his certainty of passing. But what was his loss is our gain, for we shall now have him with us till the end of next term. But this is not the total of his misfortunes. Some time ago I met him with a large muffler round his mouth, looking, almost for the first time in his life, miserable. Enquiries elicited the fact that he had been having a lively time with his dentist. However, when last I saw him he was looking very fit again, and I was relieved to find that his smile has not suffered, but is as cyclopean as ever. He has been unable to do much this term, either at work or games. His activities are chiefly confined to cross-country running.

On calling to interview Husband I made the following notes with regard to his occupation : " Football, putting on weight, some work, trips to town, Secretary of Debating Society, Church Society, etc., etc." On two occasions he has acted as Captain of the Merton Rugger Team.

On visiting Phillips I found some difficulty in approaching . him,owngteasfoblcthen r,ad books on tables, sofa, and every available chair. Some of you may remember his study at school. He has not reformed. He is working hard for Honour Mods., which begin shortly. In his lighter moments he plays rugger and hockey for Queen's, and is also keeping goal at soccer. However, when we notice that the House, who fell to Queen's in the final of the Soccer Cup last

426

ST. OLAVE'S SCHOOL.

term, beat them this term, 7 1, we have not much fear that he will disgrace the school traditions by winning a Soccer Blue. He also tells me he made a brief appearance in the inter-collegiate relay race (first round only !)

The Torpids have just finished in their usual weather.

Perhaps the most amusing incident in them—for the spectators—was when one of the tall camera stands, about ten feet high, blew over, and the unfortunate photographer executed a high dive into the river.

We were naturally jubilant at the result of the rugger match against Cambridge, and somewhat disappointed at the soccer.

As I write I hear that we have won the hockey. We hardly expected this.

There is a singular lack of school news here this term.

However, good luck to you in everything. I hope that we shall see some more O.P.'s up here next October, and be saved from further crushing postcards.

SPLENDIDE MENDAX.

ST. OLAVE'S SCHOOL. The Governors have purchased " Clifton Garth," the house recently occupied by Mr. Schroeder, and known to older inhabitants of York as Dr. Hornby's. It is hoped to move St. Olave's into it next term, and, apart from the advantage of holding it on a freehold instead of on an annual tenancy, it is in every way—in position, accommodation and garden—an immense improvement on the house in Bootham. The rumour of change has already served to stimulate the entry.

SCHOOL CONCERT.

427

SCHOOL CONCERT. The Concert given on December 18th was attended by a large number of Old Boys and friends of the School. The programme was of a miscellaneous character, and, judging by the applause and the number of encores, was much enjoyed by the audience.

Sullivan and Foster, who left us last year, came back, and by giving us two delightful songs, reminded us of old times.

Perhaps the most appreciated items on the programme, were the Madrigal from " The Mikado " and the Quintette from " Merry England," both of which were enthusiastically encored. Schroeder sang his song with spirit and taste, and Peters played two excellent solos. In fact we think we are justified in saying that there was not a single weak item.

LEEDS

G.S.

Played at Leeds on Saturday, December 4th. The ground was in a very bad state, making good passing and combination out of the question. Thus the game was fought out mainly by the two opposing packs, and in this department Leeds were distinctly superior. Our opponents kicked off and immediately rushed the ball to our " 25." The fi r st scrummage was practically on our line, and it was only by good saving amongst the forwards and some

429

FOOTBALL.

useful kicks by the backs that the situation was saved. York relieved temporarily, but the Leeds pack controlled the scrums and gave their backs splendid opportunities. Taylor relieved well for York, and his tackling saved his side on more than one occasion.

After a long attack York obtained relief, and a passing movement among the backs gained ground, and we were thus enabled to penetrate our opponents' " 25 " for the first time. Leeds relieved, but returning to the attack the visiting pack got the ball out nicely to the back,. Lacy raced away with the ball and passed to Taylor, who had no difficulty in scoring. The kick failed. There was no further score till half-time.

After the interval Leeds pressed hotly, but were for a time kept out. Schroeder was noticeable for his saving, and Taylor among the backs for his kicking. From a line-out the Leeds wing got away and scored far out. On an appeal, however, the try was disallowed, as the throw-out should have been York's. But it was only a little later that the same player scored in a similar way, and Hobson added the goal and thus gave them the lead. After this York pressed hard, and shortly before the end the ball came from the scrum to Taylor, who by a magnificent effort got through the opposition and scored. The same player added the major points. Though Leeds made determined efforts to pull the game off, York had no difficulty in keeping them out,. and we thus won a splendid game by 8 points to 5.

TEAM : —Back, W. V. Lawton ; three-quarters, D. L. Fernandes, C. C. Taylor, A J. Peters, R. F. Strange ; half-backs, A. 0. Lacy and L. F. Wood ; forwards, A. E. Schroeder, A. C. B. Molony, G. G. Wallace, L. G. Barry, F. E. Ferguson, R. T. Brode, A. C. Molony, L. F. Jones.

After the match Wallace, Barry and Ferguson received their colours.

and very strong at half-back. The visitors played down hill, and at first the play was even. Then the opposing half got through from the scrum, and scored under the posts. The try was converted. Soon after a second score came from a forward rush. Then the school played up better, and a good passing bout gained much ground, but Strange was pulled down on the " 25 " line. Lacy and Peters were conspicuous for good kicking, and all the forwards were playing a fine game. Giggleswick got away again on the right, but the wing man was collared. Soon after this the Giggleswick half came round the blind side of the scrum and got over, the goal being kicked. Half-time score :Giggleswick, 13 pts. ; York, nil.

Crossing over, York pressed with a good forward rush, but by a brilliant individual effort the Giggleswick half-back scored again from half-way. Soon after a good passing bout saw an offering three-quarter over, the kick failing. York were playing a much better game, and kept their opponents out well. Just before the end, however, their half scored again, and time came with the score :Giggleswick, 22 pts. ; York, nil.

YORK HARLEQUINS.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, February 5th.

In the first stages the Harlequins pressed, and there were several scrimmages close to the line, and though the school managed to break away Neilson scored for the Harlequins. The school forwards played up well, but wide tackling let the visitors in with a very doubtful try. Lacy saved well for the school, and for the first time the game was taken to the other end. Scott was conspicuous with a good run into the York half, and later the

In the second half the Harlequins were very much superior and scored several tries. The school forwards were beaten in most of the scrums, and the 'tackling of the backs was very weak.

Final score :York Harlequins, 4o pts. ; St. Peter's School, nil.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. DURHAM COLLEGES. Played at York on Wednesday, February 9th. Durham kicked off down hill and immediately pressed. The York backs did little to stop their opponents and several tries were scored. After this, however, the school played up better. Lacy scored two good tries for the school, and at half-time the score was Durham Colleges, 3o pts. ; York, 8 pts.

The second half was much more even. The York forwards played well, and the backs had some nice passing movements.

Durham scored two goals before the end. Score :Durham Colleges, 40 pts. ; York, 8 pts.

FOOTBALL RETROSPECT. In reviewing the results of the past season it cannot be said that the team has been altogether successful. In some matches an excellent display of form characterised the play, but in others only one comment can be made, that the side was weak. The attack was, on the whole, good, but the defence proved weak and failed for want of combination. Tackling, with a few exceptions, was poor, and particularly so behind the scrum, and it is to this weakness in tackling that the defeats sustained, which ought on some occasions to have been victories, must be attributed.

But on the other hand the team was very young, the average age of the players in one match being slightly over sixteen, a fact which, though unfortunate at the present, yet augurs well for the future. As usual, there have been a considerable number of " crocks," which necessitated a certain amount of changing of positions, particularly amongst the halves and three-quarter backs.

In conclusion our thanks are due to Mr. Tendall for the great assistance he has given, and for acting as referee in the season's matches, and to Mr. Yeld for his constant support from the touch line.

LECTURES. There have been three lectures given this term under the auspices of the Natural History Society. The first lecture, on February 5th, was illustrated by lantern slides lent by Goerz, Ltd.,

435

HOCKEY FIXTURES.

and dealt with Photographic Lenses. Mr. Swift was the lecturer, and he ably explained the intricacies of the lens, dealing mainly with the exceptional quality of the Goerz Lens.

On Februay i zth Mr. Swift gave us a most interesting lecture on Gothic Architecture. The numerous slides illustrating the lecture were all of his own making. Beginning from the early Saxon and Roman Periods, he traced the growth of Ecclesiastical Architecture right down to the decorated period, giving a most lucid explanation of the characteristics and variations of the different styles.

On March 5th Mr. Walker gave us a lecture entitled, " What can be done with a hand camera." The slides, which were again lent by Goerz, were magnificent examples of what can be done with a camera like the Goerz Anchutz Folding Camera. Amongst the slides were beautiful snapshots of objects in motion, with an exposure of as little as 1/1200 of a second, and also exquisite views of architectural and other subjects. The first part of the slides consisted of photographs of different sports, some of the best being of horse-jumping. Then followed some Architectural Views, and last of all a series of photographs of the beautiful little town of Rottenberg, in Bavaria. We are much indebted to Mr. Walker and Mr. Swift for the opportunity of hearing these lectures, and for delivering them to us themselves. We hope that the lectures will be better attended in the future.

HOCKEY.

HOCKEY. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. R. M. WOOD, ESQ.'S XI. For this match on Wednesday, March 2nd, the York Hockey Ground was most kindly lent to us. Both teams seemed to be stronger forward than back, and this accounts for the big scoring in the first half. In the first few minutes the scratch side scored two goals, but after this the school did better, and goals were scored by L. F. Wood (2) and Peters, and we thus took the lead.

Before the interval, however, our opponents added several goals, and crossed over leading by 7 goals to Play was more even in the second half, and each side scored one goal. The school had bad luck towards the end in not scoring once or twice. Mr. Walker, Lacy and Bethell amongst the backs, and Wood, Peters and Fernandes amongst the forwards played well, and the whole team showed promise.

TEAM :—Goal, C. L. Armstrong ; full-backs, Rev. R. 0. Walker and G. F. Tendall ; half-backs, A. C. B. Molony (Capt.), R. C. Bethell and A. 0. Lacy ; forwards, L. G. Barry, A. J. Peters, L. F. Wood, D. L. Fernandes and K. Shann.

HOUSE v. DAYBOYS. This was a poor game, partly owing to the state of the ground.

In the first half the Dayboy forwards were conspicuous, and were enabled to take the lead by three goals to two goals. In the second half the House played better, and scored four more goals.

The shooting for the House forwards was poor, with the exception of Barry, who shot four goals. The half-backs all played well.

TEAMS :—HOUSE Goal, C. L. Armstrong ; backs, B. M. Smith and A. C. Molony ; half-backs, A. C. B. Molony, A. 0. Lacy and A. E. Schroeder ; forwards, F. Ferguson., L. G. Barry, A. J. Peters, D. L. Fernandes and K. Shann.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL 7'. R. M. WOOD, ESQ.'S XI.

This return match was played on March i 6th, on the school ground. The school started off well with a two goals lead. Wood and Fernandes put the school ahead, and we were, on the whole, unlucky in not scoring again. At half-time the score was unchanged. Crossing over, the scratch side played up, and after a continued pressure they shot two goals in quick succession.

They next forced a corner and scored a third goal. The school then attacked, and with a good shot from Peters drew level.

Then the visitors went ahead again with two more goals, and though the school played hard they could not pull the match off.

Peters shot the school's fourth goal just before time, and thus the final score was :R. M. Wood, Esq.'s XI., 5 goals ; St. Peter's School, 4 goals.

Lacy played a good game at half for the school, and Mr. Walker was a tower of strength at full-back. Armstrong kept goal splendidly.

TEAM :-Goal, C. L. Armstrong; full-backs, Rev. R. 0. Walker and F. Ferguson ; half-backs, A. C. B. NIolony, A. 0. Lacy and A. E. Schroeder ; forwards, L. G. Barry, A. J. Peters, L F. Wood, D. L. Fernandes and 0. M. 'ferment.

We are glad to see that hockey is being taken up more seriously this term than it has of late. There is promise of a good team.

We hope that the arranging of several matches will be a stimulus to encourage the team to do great deeds.
