I just can’t do it;” “Of course, you can, you don’t have to be afraid. There is five inches of soft mat beneath you.” I shut my eyes tightly and jumped, I spun three times in the air (I was told) and fell on the balls of my feet like a cat on the mattress. I turned to my instructor with a triumphant smile. Gymnastics, even though it is not a very appealing game to youths, has risen greatly in popularity over the last few years, especially in Europe. Until now, the only time that acrobatics were thought of was when a circus was around. People marvel at the almost impossible feats performed by acrobats, especially those on the trapeze. Most times onlookers (especially the jealous ones) remark that the acrobats are fools and are being paid for the dangers up there. It is true that an acrobat is well paid, but then he enjoys himself thoroughly. Gymnastics become part of him and most times he performs free. If at school a boy has taken a liking for acrobatics and he eventually becomes very good, he can perform during his spare time and earn himself large sums of money. Besides, although parents forbid their children to take part in acrobatics whether in or out of school, they must realize that with the necessary equipment and a qualified instructor little or no harm can come to their children. In fact this game does much good to boys practicing it. Moreover, it increases the person’s agility, his sight, and most of all his responsibility. In feats which involve two or more gymnasts the least mistake results in disaster. The boy knows his comrades are depending on him and he will try to do his best to make the particular act a success, besides, boys are chosen as leaders of special groups and they sometimes have to see that everything is organized and carried out in order. The sort of work in the gymnasium surely exercises the responsibility of a boy. Further, even the teachers of the school will soon become interested and those idle away their afternoons, maybe in the cinema, can go into the gymnasium and set their bones cracking and feel supple again like their young days. Gymnastics if taught in schools will contribute greatly to the health of young boys and girls. Those who feel that football is too strenuous or that they will get sunstroke playing cricket, can go into the gymnasium and bring out some of their hidden talents- They will soon find themselves performing feats which the)’ would leave to the man in the circus who “cheats death.” D. RODRIGUES (6A1) Top Sports Day Our long awaited Sports Day was great fun this year, and those who did not come missed a most enjoyable afternoon. Thanks to the splendid efforts of officials, especially Fr. Manus Keane our games master, Fr. Joe Lynch, our veteran athletics adviser, and the ever faithful and proficient Fernandes brothers. Thursday 12th November at the G.C.C. saw organization and efficiency stand first in all the events. The atmosphere at the meeting was gay; all in the stands were relaxed, Mrs. Faria, Mrs. Choo-Shee-Nam, Mrs. Persaud and their helpers kept us refreshed; Mr. John Fernandes (Jr.) kept us informed, starters, supervisors, judges, time-keepers, finishers, grounds men, kept everything in order. Providence was there too. He was especially in charge of weather – and surprisingly did a good job! All was set and the athletes just had to go and run. They did. Peter Harrison dashed home first in the sprints for Set I. In the same set Mike Barrington won what is probably the most difficult race to run the 440 yds, Determined Phil D’ Almada clinched the 880 yds. While Brian Davis cruised effortlessly to win the hurdles. Mike Barrington also puffed home first in the: mile, not without a plucky fight from 14-yr. old Philip Hunte whose grit should take him places. In the field, Peter Hill won the shot-put event; Francis Marks flung the discus farthest and then proceeded to fling himself farthest to win the Long Jump. The events in the other sets were also very keenly contested with Paul Van Rossum, Gavin Hinds and Trevor Gibbs having the general edge over the others. Probably the most interesting event of the day was the High Jump of Seniors. Norbert Lee jumped highest and in the process revealed a most amazing style: it was probably the nearest thing to the “Flosbury Flop”. In fact, it was the “Flosbury Flop” in reverse. It cannot quite be explained. You have to see either Flosbury or Norbert Lee to get the idea. Brian Cumberbatch won the Old Boys’ race from MacArthur by an unclose shave! Mr. Desmond Sequeira touched the tape first in the Masters’ Rush, despite a determined effort by Mr. Winston Meerabux, The relay was won by Etheridge House, while Galton won the Tug –O-War without the semblance of a war, The meeting was not precisely one at which the records tumbled. This is hard to explain in an age when athletic records probably have the highest mortality rate. But, of course records are not things we just “go out there and break”. We want to traiin arduously for that, And if A. Henson and M. Belgrave and the Seths and the Amo’s and C. Derrell and scores of others could do it, why cannot we? Next year, we hope, will alter the files Mr. Steven Comacho, an old Saints boy and now the West Indies Cricket Team’s opening batsman very kindly presided and distributed the prizes. H also succeeded in extricating a holiday from the Principal, in celebration of Sports Day. We were glad and proud to have him with us not, only on account of the holiday! A large number of prizes wore claimed on an occasion when “the game was the thing! Paul Van Rossum won almost everything in sight in Set II to become senior Victor Ludorum and Trevor Gibbs did the same in Set TV to become junior victor. Etheridge House maintained the winning streak to run away with the Athletics Shield. Top The Races Sun-stroke Sun – streams down at Timehri early.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

  • Statement by Sir Ronald Sanders at the Launch on “From Ranji to Rohan” by Professor Clem Seecharan at London Metropolitan University on 19Th November 2009
    Statement by Sir Ronald Sanders At the launch on “From Ranji to Rohan” by Professor Clem Seecharan at London Metropolitan University on 19th November 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, It is a great pleasure to be at London Metropolitan University to help launch the latest book by Professor Clem Seecharan, From Ranji to Rohan. Like most West Indians, I am an avid cricket fan, but alas no great player myself. My cricketing days ended when, as a teenaged batsman, a rather large and extremely quick fast-bowler contrived to get past my bat to a most delicate part of my anatomy that floored me for several agonising minutes in the most excruciating pain I ever experienced. I put away bat, pads and other questionable paraphernalia after that along with my enthusiasm for playing cricket, but my passion for the game never waned. In that connection, I believe I was among the first people to buy, directly from Hansib, the publisher of this book, one of the first copies of “From Ranji to Rohan”. Two things attracted me to it. First, I knew from the experience of reading Clem Seecharan’s previous works that this would be not just a scholarly study based on authoritative research, but also a highly entertaining account of Cricket and Indian Identity in Colonial Guyana. The second attraction was its focus on the exploits of Rohan Kanhai, who was the cricket icon of my childhood and early teenage years. Somewhere amongst the aging and dusty collection of my family albums is a photograph of me trying to imitate that famous Kanhai shot on the cover of this book that one cricket commentator described as “the triumphant fall” - a sweep shot to the leg side that culminated in Kanhai on his back but the ball either racing to the boundary for four or soaring past it for six.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 275 - 0CT0BER 2007
    NEWSLETTER No. 275 - 0CT0BER 2007 DEREK SHACKLETON “If a bowler can bowl straight, make the batsman play, he’s doing the job to the best of his ability” Shack on Friday 1 September 1961. Derek Shackleton was one of those rare cricketers who became a legend during his playing career. Even upon his death, almost forty years since his final game for Hampshire, his name remains synonymous with accurate line and length bowling. “Shackleton like” became a simile for accuracy. His team-mates averred that upon inspection of the pitch after his bowling spell, which was invariably a long one, there was a bare patch about the size of a plate, on a length. He rarely visited the nets but once, at Southampton, he bowled three balls which hit off, middle, and leg stumps consecutively. Just to prove it was not a fluke he bowled a further three balls and hit the stumps in reverse order. Shackleton, though, was never given to ostentation, except perhaps in his dapper attire. He went about his work quietly and apparently tirelessly. He never seemed to take much out of himself, which is perhaps why he lived to 83, an old age for a pace bowler. However, he took enough. The body action and follow through lifted him off the ground and batsmen testified to the ball hitting further up the bat than they expected. He was tall – just over six foot – lean and spare in build, with never a hair out of place. By the end of his career he ran to the crease off just six full strides.

  • It's 40 Years Since World Series Cricket Changed Everything, From
    The towering figure of Tony Greig. It’s 40 years since World Series Cricket changed everything, from the way the game was played to the way it was televised – the way, in fact, sport was televised. It introduced coloured apparel, lights, day-night Tests and one-dayers – the list is endless. People look back now with fondness at the WSC revolt, suggested at first by Dennis Lillee, instigated by some of the world’s best players, funded by Kerry Packer. Two of our interviewees, Clive Rice and Tony Greig, are now sadly departed, but our intrepid correspondent, CRISPIN ANDREWS, had long-ago managed to get their thoughts on the Packer revolution. He managed to track down many of the other protagonists recently. Here are their memories of one of the biggest upheavals ever witnessed in world sport.
