Since our last issue we have had our Michaelmas holidays, and their advent witnessed the close of the football season, and consequently, the I'eginning of the cricket season. ()ur first footbl)all team had a \ver successful career, and ultimately succeeded in winning the premiership after several hard foughlt matches. The other teams while maintaining their i)sition were not so successful as to win the premiership in their grade. Large numbers of boys are taking up cricket this year, and the formation of six teams shows the enthusiasm for the game. The matches between thlie School, Mlaryborough and Ipswich arere always looked forward to with interest. Our Annual Athletic Snixrts were held on 17th Septemlr, at the \oolloongabba Sports (round, and ipassed off very successfully., tine weather prevailing. A detailed list of the prize winners alpx'ars in this issue, also a photograph of the successful athletes. The two tennis teams in B. and ('. grade respectively have finished their matches. and although our first team has not had a too successful season, the second team has managed to secure the Ixsition of runners-up in their grade. The present issue contains a photgraph of this team. On 27th September there was a trial race held between two school crews to decide who was to represent the School Four in coming competitions. The race was won by Lloyd's crew by 8 irisbane (Gramma, School Magazine two lengths, the other crew, Wilson's crew, being unfortunate in sustaining a slight damage to their boat in the course of the race, which stomewhat handicapped them. The winning crew, I.loyd, ()rd, I)iamond, Scott and C(ameron (cox), were presented with medals by Mr. Bousfield. The School Four, Lloyd, Wilson, ('ampbell and Baynes are rowing well, and we have great expectation in the coming races. Tile Boxing season has closed, and Mr. ()wen's lessons were received with enthusiasm by tile boys. An article showing tile progress made this season among tile l)\'s appears in this issue.

E. I)tan footbll olts. Thile Firsts, after a long and hard season, have followed their predecessors of three ytars ago, and have again leen successful in carrying off the coveted premiership. Thle team have kept together well during tlhe season, rarely having off days, and on some occasions have played really Ibrilliant football. They have only once experienced defeat, and that was in the early part of the season, at tilte hanllds of the 'Western Suburbs. ()ut of the three matches we played against this team we succeeded in beating them only once, and that was in the final, the other match against them was a draw, tlhe score being 8 all. The captain wishes to thank the team for their untiring spirit and hearty resixmse to his call throughout tile whole season. The whole team feel deeply grateful to iMr. and Mrs. Bousfield for the kindly interest they have shown, and for tleir attendance at their matches, and they thank all their sul)porters whol turned up in good numbers at the important games. Mrs. Boustield has been exceedingly kind t, tie firsts this year, and to celebrate their winning the premiership slhe invited them all to afternoon tea at Eschenhagen's one afternoon after school. Needless to say, tile firsts enjoyed themselves very much indeed, and thoroughly alppreciated such a warm sup5)orter. Br'ibane G(,a'r:;u;r .Schllol .1agazinc 9 The visit of tlhe Armidale boys with their h(onour caps put the idea of having honour caps into the heads of tlhe memn!ers of the school committee, andnd after due consideration they decided to give three caps each year one for the best forward, one for the best hack, and the third for the next best player. Again Mrs. Bousfield made a generous otfer , f two extra caps because of tlte unusually good team this year. The caps were to )beawarded on tlie vote of the team, and as a result of tlhe voting J. PI. Miller received tlhe cap for the best forward, R. . W\illcocks the cap for the best back, and N. A. Lloyd the one for the next best player the two extra caps were voted to E. IP. Holmes and ('. ('. ('amplell. The caps which are of dark blue satin with broad silver braid trimming, were afterwards presented in thle hall, and each of the recipients was heartily applauded. The detailed account of tilhe matches played since last issue is as follows :- SCHOOL. V. SOI'TH BRISBANE. - -Pla\ed at \West End, and proved a rather exciting game ; the score at half-time being three all, Kent kicking a penalty goal. In the second half we opened the game up, an(d Waraker scored twice with two splendid fast runs round the wing. \Willcocks also scored and converted one try : this made the final scores, 14 --(i. SCHOO)(I. v. ('HRISTIAN BROTHERS. ---Tie score at half-time was tli ee all, but in tlihe second half we improved and tinall\y won by 13--3. Willcocks, Camplbell and Cooper obtained tries, and Willcocks converted two. SCHo.L V. VALLEY. Played ()n the Turf after heavy rain. which left water lying on the ground, and made it very dirty and slippery As usual we did not play up to form in the first half, and the score was --3 against us. But in tle second half we brightened up, and scored rather frequently ; it was rather amusing to see a player dive over the line into a sheet of water, and get up wet and muddy, but smiling. Tries were s(ored by Lloyd (2). Scott, Sutton, Newell, ('ampbell and Willcocks, and Willcocks being in great form c\onverted two tries and Ikicked a penalty goal making the scores 2$ 13. About tive minutes before full time Sutton was unfortunate enough to hurt his ankle, which prevented him f.om playing the next match. S(HOol. . uI'I);EE.

H, LKENT . has developed into a sound bat, his strokes all around the wicket are good, though he is inclined to play the ball back to the howler. Has kept wickets fairly well this season. J. BARRISKILL. is a fast scoring batsman, and hias a very attractive style, he has greatly improved his defence since last season : should Ibe more careful with leg glides. His oft drives are very' hard and crisp. In the field lie is excellent, and is a fine catch in anii lx>sition. He b\owls medium pace and keeps a good length. H. H.

As a batsman he should try and get rid of flourishing. His ground fitlding is nei't and clean. N.

He fields splendidly and returns the ball well. Is a fair change howler. B. PCWE has a good defence, but plays back too much on turf wickets, lie should play forward more. He has not done as well as we all expected on the turf. In the field he shlould move after the ball more briskly, and also put his hands down straight away as soon as the ball is hit in his direction instead of making a dart at it when it is almost on top of him J.

In ideal weather the annual athletic sports of the Brisbane (Grammar School w,-re held on the Brisbane Cricket Ground on September 17th, under the patronage and in the presence of the Lieutenant-Governor (Sir Arthur Morgan.) The function was successful in every sense of the term. The attendance was large, numbering about 1,0(K) persons, the majority of whom were students of the boys' and girls' schools. The events were well contested, and the management reflected the greatest credit on the officials. The timetable was strictly adhered to, with the result that the last race was disposed of at the scheduled time. A feature of the athletic events was the number of close finishes, and the splendid high jumping of Doyle, who won both jumping competitions. The championships were won by Barriskill (100 yards), Willcocks (440 yards), and Cooper (880 yards). The officials were: Referee, Mr. F. S. N. Bousfield; judges, Messrs. I. A. I)akin, A. J. Mason, B. Porter, R. Robertson, R. W. l)owling, F. H. Stegmann, and C. W. Costin (O.B.A.) ; starter, Mr. T. E. Jones; check starter, Mr. J. Cowan; timekeepers, Messrs. J. (. Cribb and C. A.

Presenation of ospifal Sports SAied On 30th August two members of the Hospital Sports Committee -Mr. ('arter and Maior Harris-came up to the School to present us with the Hospital Shield, and also the successful athletes with their medals. MR. CARTER congratulated the School on behalf of the Hospital Sports Committee on the excellent sho ing of its members in the Hospital Sports. The Grammar School, he said, had been handicapped under the original conditions of competition for the shield, and it had thus remained in the hands of one school (Nudgee ______j !I~ Pl; , PRIZE VFInWERS AT THE ANNUAL ATHLTIC SPORTS. 20 Brisbane Grammar School Magazine for many years. But now the conditions had been made mucli fairer for everyone, and gave chances for all round contests. He congratulated N. E. Waraker on his fine )performance, and hloped he would one day figure among (ueensland's, if not Australia's foremost athletes. The school, too, he said, ought to be proud in having such an excellent sports-master in Mr. Jones, who was untiring in his efforts in respect to the school games, and it would give him great pleasure to be able to present the sclhool with the shield on some future occasion.

The record put up at the Hospital Sports, he said, was very creditable indeed, and while congratulating the schlool heartily on its success, lie hoped that he might again witness the presentation of the shield to us at s(ome future date. MR. IoUSFIEi.D then thanked Mr. ('arter and Major Harris for coming and presenting us with the shield, and also for their kind remarks.
