second. On the third day Cook, who had done nothing up till then except offer good advice (?) and sympathy to the vanquished, joined Staines for a final fling in the Sabre. They neither of them went beyond the first round, although it seems probable that some of those who did had reason for remembering Cook's heavy hand. Despite this rather mournful tale of defeat, all members learnt a great deal from their experiences, and we felt that it was something to have been the only Public School, out of the 150 entries, to have come from the North.
