SCHOOL LETTER. N a résumé of this term's activities it is at once obvious that first place must be given to the notable achievements of the School XV. who have won their first six consecutive matches. Although there are at the moment of writing still two more weeks of the season to go through, and some important matches not yet played, this promises to be the most successful season we have known for several years, and the School's heartiest congratulations and thanks must go to Mr. Tendall and to E. P. Sewell, this year's captain. Mr. I endall has handled the football with his usual skill and patience and the XV. owe the greater part of their success to his careful coaching, while Sewell has been an energetic captain who has fired his followers with his own infective enthusiasm. There have also been notable Rugger successes among 0.P's. H. F. S. Gedge, captain in 1918, has been playing for the North of England, and his brother J. B. Gedge, was chosen for Lancashire, but was unfortunately unable to play owing to an injury sustained while playing for Liverpool. S. Anderson has been playing consistently well for the Yorkshire Wanderers and has also played in the Yorkshire Trials. Two O.P.'s. have also distinguished themselves in the rowing world, W. E. Barton, the stroke of the Worcester Boat which won the Thames Challenge Cup of Henley in the summer, and L. Elliot-Smith, last year's Captain of Boats, have been rowing in the Oxford and Cambridge University trials respectively. We also congratulate K. G. Chilman, Esq., who has again been chosen to play for Yorkshire at Hockey, and E. P. Sewell, who is playing for the English Public Schools against the Scottish at London, during the holidays.
