Although the Rise batted far longer, they fared little better than School House against the excellent bowling' of Clark and Eastwood. Eastwood was the steadier of the two and had far fewer runs scored off him. The Rise scored 68, the chief scoring being Brown, A. C., and Thompson, D. C. Temple lost two early wickets when Walker and Boyes were bowled by Price. Reynolds and Clark, however, stayed together to put on a lot of runs, until Reynolds was out as the result of a very foolish attempt to hit the wrong ball. Andrew joined Clark and immediately settled down. Once again, Clark was the most successful Temple batsman, and his fine batting contributed largely to the Temple victory, which followed shortly after the fall of the third Temple wicket.
BOATING. Boating has continued to flourish during the term in spite of the loss of equipment consequent on the "blitz" at the beginning of the term. Altogether we lost eleven oars, of which seven were bow side; "Sally," our only fine boat and a 2nd Division clinker were badly damaged. The loss of "Sally" was a serious set back to the 1st crew, who managed, however, to borrow a York City boat after the Leeds Races. Only two fixtures for the 1st Crew, and three for the 2nd IV could be arranged this term, and in spite of defeats, we consider the rowing to be still improving to judge by the standard of perfiirmance in these races.

Ping—A greatly improved oarsman who always rowed at his best in races. He managed to rid himself to a great extent of his tendency to be heavy-handed and to rush his slide. 3. R. R. L. Pryer (Captain)—His rowing this year greatly improved in poise, and he gave balance and steadiness to the crew. He pulled his weight. Stroke. A. C. Brown—He overcame an inclination to be short, and in the end gave length and life to the crew. A very hard worker and a leader who could make the crew follow him. Cox. D. A. Harker—He has developed a good eye for a course and kept his head in races and encouraged the crew. 43
