then during the last 10 minutes they scored 16 points, getting through nearly every time they had possession of the' all by means of powerful forward rushes.

ST. PETER'S v. LIVERPOOL COLLEGE Played at Home, 7th December Result : St. Peter's 34 points, Liverpool College 0

The pitch was very wet and sticky, and this, together with a very cold wind and a bad light, made conditions rather unpleasant. However, after the first two tries, it was easy to see that the School side were definitely the better. The three-quarters handled the ball as well as they had ever done and the forwards did some very good rushes, particularly through being quick up on a loose ball.

Graham scored an extremely good try ; having kicked the ball ahead he caught it, and after handing off several opponents, including the full-hack, who was right behind him, scored between the posts.

By half-time the score was 16 points to nil, and during the second half the School continued to press hard and several excellent tries were scored, including one by Oliver at full-back and one by Dook.

THE SCHOOL v. THE OLD PETERITES Saturday, 14th December Result : The School 9 points, Old Peterites 8 points

It is with much pleasure that we record the renewal of the match with the O.P.'s. As a result of all the time and trouble taken by P. R. G. Graham in getting the O.P. side together, the arrangements met with 100% success, and the O.P.'s fielded a complete side. It was good to see so many stalwarts of years gone by once again battling with the School side, and there were plenty of others who were there on the touch-line to witness their efforts, as everyone fought in the mud and slush in the worst possible conditions. Even so a lively and exciting game was enjoyed by all.

The O.P.'s, heavier and stronger in the pack, quickly settled down, outplayed the School in the set scrums and were unlucky not to score more than an early lead of eight points, largely due to some neat work by Broadhurst at centre-threequarter. But the School rallied and Wiped off three points of their arrears by half-time.

The rousing forward rushes by each side in turn from one end of the field to the other were one of the main features of the game, but the School pack gradually wore down their less-trained opponents, and five minutes from time, more by good luck than judgment, the School gained and held to the end their slender lead of one point.
