Ebitorial.

Many unpleasant things can be and have been said about the Lent term, but no one could ever accuse it of lacking in variety. Early in the term we were treated to a week of quite good skating, and since then we have been subjected to rain, hail, frost, snow— and flood ; the floods were the highest that the School has seen for some years, and at their height the whole of the fields near the river were navigable in " tubs." Even fire has not been unrepresented, the old Boathouse having succumbed, during the 'holidays, to a gang of hooligans with some petrol ; finally, we are at present enjoying sunshine that would not disgrace June, and the heat is causing an increasing lethargy to creep over the editorial system.

The term has been rendered more hectic than usual by the dislocation of games caused by the floods, and the preparations for the Triennial Exhibition of the Scientific Society ; for the week preceding the latter the School has been unsafe for civilians, while the Science Block has been a perfect inferno—even the asphalt has been unsafe for navigation. An account of the Exhibition appears elsewhere —suffice it here to say that it was a great success.

Two athletic performances are deserving of special mention. We offer our heartiest congratulations to C. L. Troop on playing for the England XV against Ireland and Scotland, as well as distinguishing himself for other teams ; with regard to the Northern Championship, it may be said that Yardley was expected to win it all along, but that does not detract at all from the merit of his performance.

Apart from these individual performances the hockey team have had a remarkably successful season, in spite of their lack of practice early in the term, and have not lost a match. CONTENTS.

It is with mixed feelings that we view the appointment of Archdeacon Cooper as Dean of Carlisle ; for many years a Governor of the School, he took an unostentatious interest in all its activities, from a Speech Day to a Junior League game, and he is one of the few preachers who never fail to hold the attention of a Chapel congregation. The School congratulate him on his appointment, and wish him the best of success in it, while feeling that they have lost, at any rate, partially, a real friend.

eambrioge setter. Cambridge. To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs, Cambridge, ever rich in contrasts, has this term provided us with them in an unusually full measure. At the beginning of the term we had a series of hard frosts. These provided us with excellent skating on the fens. We were also fortunate in being able to see the Amateur All England Championships. This cold, weather was followed by a snap of brilliant weather when butter- flies were seen making their ways up and down the backs, unconscious of the fate which was to befall them. Once again Nature laid her wintry hand upon us, and butterflies were forgotten. The great blizzard came just at the time of the Lent races, rendering them unpleasant for spectators and something more than unpleasant for those participating. At the time of writing Spring has come again to Cambridge, and the backs are resplendent with their annual crop of crocuses. Punts and canoes are to be seen in numbers along the upper river towards Grantchester.

Not only as regards weather has this term been one of contrast, the quiet academic atmosphere of the courts and lawns has been rudely shattered by the sounds of pneumatic riveters. Construction and destruction proceed apace, and the wonderful new Library is rapidly nearing completion. New Physiology laboratories are in course of erection, in addition to many other large buildings in the Downing Street area, whose purposes are varied and a trifle obscure.

The outstanding event this term has been the opening of the Mond laboratory by our Chancellor, Mr. Baldwin. Here, Professor Kapitza, under the direction of Lord Rutherford, is to carry out magnetic and cryogenic research. Speculations are made as to whether he will succeed in releasing the boundless stores of atomic energy for the use of mankind. 313

Another noteworthy event this term has been the production of the biennial Greek play. The play this term was " Orestes of \eschylus," and was, as usual, a great success, drawing many visitors to Cambridge from other Universities and Schools.

Things have been going well for the University in the . Athletic field, and we have again a splendid crew on the river. It is said that there are at present fifteen men who would gain their rowing blues in a normal year. The results of the 'Varsity sports augur well for the Inter-'Varsity Athletic contest on March 18th.

Pembroke are to be congratulated on going head of the river this term, although this was expected by most competent judges early in the season. The lordly third Trinity boat was bumped by Fitzwilliam House. This resulted in some artistic, but unofficial mural decorations on the outside of their boathouse.

In the Union, this term, we have had no provocative nor publicity-raising motions ; it is, however, interesting to record that Sir Oswald Mosley failed to get the house to pass the motion that " This House prefers Fascism to Socialism." Sir Oswald also organized a Fascist meeting on Parker's Piece. This was not a huge success, as the torrential rain was rather more than even sturdy Fascists could contend with.

Of the movements of 0.P.s this term little is known.

A. L. B. Pattinson has again been working this term, and, consequently, has found little time for his favourite pastime of golf. D. V. Hewitt is another worker, and has, at the time of writing, just finished taking his last exam. He is lucky in being able to look forward' to a summer term which will be entirely free from examinations.

H. J. B. Greaves has been rowing hard again, and took part in the Lent humping races. This with considerable success.

J. R. Pope continues to read English and hopes to take his degree in June. He is to take a Prep. School post in September.

A. L. Hicks has been seen very little this term. We under- stand, however, that he runs a very fiery little sports car.

W. McC. Scott has again been playing regularly for Emmanuel 1st XV. He is to be congratulated on being elected Vice-Captain. Emmanuel succeeded in getting to the semi-final in the rugger cuppers. 3 1 4

J. B. Doyle has again been rowing, and stroked the Caius.

2nd boat in the Lent races. He continues to read the Engineering . Tripos.

H. F. Whalley turns out regularly for Emmanuel 2nd XV. . He has also been elected to be secretary to their 3rd XV. He is. reading medicine, and is a very regular attender at the "Meaters." W. L. Seaborne is a man who appears to do a little of everything. This term lie has played a little rugger, soccer, and hockey. W. Allport has quickly fallen into the ways of 'Varsity life,. and is already the typical undergraduate. He is to be congratu-- lated on playing regularly for Pembroke 1st XI at hockey. Before concluding- may we say that we continue to follow the activities of the School with great interest. We were particularly glad to see that C. L. Troop had gained international honours. for the School. We remain, Yours etc., THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETERITES._

exforb letter, Oxford, March, 1933._ To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs, We are sure there is little need to inform the School of events. in Oxford. The Union's resolution " not to fight for King and Country in any circumstances," was the outstanding feature of the term. It aroused the Press, the Public, and the outside- world. "Yellow-bellied cowards," "woozy-minded communists," " children's hour," were some of the extracts from references to. the youth of Oxford in the London Press. Some papers, on the other hand, credited the Union on having brought the issue of World Peace more in the forefront than has ever been done in recent years. Oxford is looking forward to the reconstruction of the theatre ; the new structure, we are promised, will be the finest of its kind in the provinces. To come to the members of the club :-

D. B. Kingston (St. John's) has drawn a few more pictures- - some from life. Lucky are the gifted. 3 1 5 E. F. Williams (B.N.C.) has been observed twice in the precincts of his college. Work, he tells us, claims most of his time. He is a familiar figure, however, on the Iffley road—a district strangely popular with thirsty young men.

J. R. Mawer (Lincoln). We have been asked to deny the rumour that Mr. Mawer was the leader of the small band that raided the Union and tore up those eventful minutes. Besides playing rugger for his college he still displays that childish enthusiasm for his work.

J. C. Hill (Balliol) must be congratulated on his sterling per- formance in the Finals of the rugger "cuppers" for his college. A feature of his rooms is the row of foreign-bound literature, procured mainly abroad and necessary, he informs us, for an intimate knowledge of his subject.

S. K. Kooka (B.N.C.) is also to be congratulated on his lucky escape one dark night. Sudden acquaintances formed at that time are always dangerous, especially if one party be Mr. Kooka in 'a motor car, the other a telegraph post.

J. A. Brittain (B.N.C.). We fear he takes his work a little too seriously. However, he has time enough to learn of the existence of other more pleasant occupations. Mr. Brittain is yet young.

J. L. Brockbank (Balliol) awoke one morning to find himself famous. Suspicion centred on him as being the famous Cam- bridge Stroke, Mr. Brocklebank, disguised and in Oxford, having come here to change the fortunes of this University in the coming Boat Race. It did not endure, and to console himself Mr. Brockbank plunged headlong into politics. He now reads the Leader page of the " Daily Mail." (In a personal interview Mr. Brockbank denied this allegation.—Ed.)

C. E. T. Moore (Hertford). The only respectable member of the Club. His activities bear no comment.

D. H. West (St. John's). Played for his college in the hockey " cuppers." The School of Forestry takes up a great deal of his time. He is looking forward to spending a great part of his next vacation in the Black Forest. We believe it is to satisfy his enthusiasm for a closer study of Nature.

We remain, Sir's, Yours obediently, THE OXFORD OLD PETERITES_ 316 Olo peterite 111ews. C. Paley Scott has been appointed a King's Counsel and Recorder of Hull. E. W. Gilbert, Lecturer in Geography at Reading University, has written an authoritative book on the history of the exploration of Western America. R. H. Stoughton (known at school as Stoughton-Harris) has been appointed to the new Professorship of Horticulture at Reading University. G. D. Stibbard has obtained his entry into the Army. C. L. Troop played for England against Scotland and Wales, while an old Olavite, P. M. S. Gedge, was chosen as reserve for Scotland ; J. B. D. Chapman has continued to play for the Harlequins, while J. E. C. Hill distinguished himself for Balliol against Brasenose in the final of the Oxford College Competition. H. G. Coates has played for the North of England at hockey.

ObituaQ. We regret to announce the death at Great Ellingham, Norfolk, of the Rev. W. E. Moore, 0.P., Hastings Exhibitioner, on February 20th, 1933.

Commemoration Eats, 1033. There will be considerable changes this year in the proceed- ings of Commemoration Day. The Prizes will be distributed on the night of Friday, July 28th, by C. Paley Scott, Esq., K.C. The Saturday will be entirely given to festivities. Commemoration Service on the Sunday as usual. Members of the Old Boys' Cricket XI and Boating Fours are particularly asked to write early and say if they wish for a bed on Friday night. Will those desiring to represent the Old Peterites apply early to Mr. Chilman and Mr. Rhodes The Old Peterite Dinner will be on the Saturday as usual. It is hoped that these arrangements will make it easier for parents to attend the Prize Giving, and more Old Boys will be available for the cricket if we have one whole day instead of two rather broken halves. 3 1 7 %thool Officers.

C2 3 1 9 Entertainments. "CAPTAIN BRASSBOUND'S CONVERSION." We have a suspicion that G.B.S., writing this play in 1899, deliberately played it low down on his bete noire, the Actor Manager. The nineties and the early nineteen-hundreds were the heyday of the Actor Manager. Parts were cut to fit him by the dramatic tailors then practising, and the limelight followed him all over the stage. And we imagine G.B.S. saying to himself : " I will kill this offence to the drama by making it ridiculous. I will make a play in which the ' hero ' shall be wronged, and, mysterious, and picturesque, the strong, silent man (but not too silent) : the action shall centre on him : the other characters shall be his satellites, and he the great star. And then I will show him feeble, and dull, and ineffective. His pathetic revelations and his thrilling exits shall dissolve in the laughter of anti-climax. I will set the scene for a dominating personality, and then I will show him signally failing to dominate anybody or anything. And the Actor Manager who seizes greedily on the part will find himself reduced to a stiff and ineffective walking gentleman. And I hope he will like it." In a word, Brassbound is a poor acting part, and it is our belief that the author deliberately made it so. We need not say that Mr. S. M. Toyne made all that could be made of it. But those who know his versatility and wide experience could have wished him more scope fur his talent. Miss Toyne, as Lady Cicely, gave a vivid rendering of the masterful and unconventional Englishwoman abroad, and had a wide range of emotion under good control. Mr. K. H. Rhodes sketched in firm lines the pomposity and subsequent deflation of the judge on holiday. Rankin, the Scots missionary, gave D. Lupton a great oppor- tunity, and he made the most of it. In Drinkwater, Mr. R. E. Greenway gave us the essential guttersnipe with energy and high spirits. Cunning, voluble, and unashamedly mean, Drinkwater is the comic high light of the play, and the actor who is to put him across must sink himself utterly in the character of this despicable little tout. The laughter which greeted him continuously was evidence of how thoroughly this was done. A. V. Mackintosh, as Marzo, looked appropriately sinister, and T. W. Jenkins, as Redbrook, appropriately debonair and inane. All the other parts were picturesquely played, and H. J. Ainsworth, as the American naval officer, spoke his lines with effortless clearness. The management of the crowds on a tiny stage testified to skilful production and diligent rehearsing. The scenes, designed on broad and dignified lines, made an admirable setting, and the backcloth for Acts I and III was very striking. F.H.B. X 20

On Saturday, March 4th, the School was entertained with a concert given by Miss E. Toyne, Miss Suzanne Dodsworth, Miss Rosalie Dodsworth, Miss Rotha Baines, and Miss Catharine Dodsworth. The programme opened with a musical sketch entitled " Musical Menus." The whole cast took part in this, Miss Baines being at the piano. We were shown what cafes would be like if all dishes were served and orders taken to music ; very nice, but awfully confusing. This was quickly followed by a short sketch showing the interior of a shop. The " plot " consisted in buying table napkins, but the performers managed to get so mixed up with their words that the whole hall was very soon shaking with laughter. Miss Baines was especially good in this. Next came a rendering of Jack Hulbert's song, " Flies Crawl up the Window," in different dialects ; the first verse was in Cockney, the second in Yorkshire, the third, and best of all, Greta Garbo, and the fourth a prima donna. Miss Suzanne Dodsworth as Greta Garbo and Miss Toyne as the prima donna were very good in this. 321

The players by this time were quite out of breath, and there was a short interval during which there was community singing by the School, conducted by T. W. Jenkins. On the resumption of play four Czechslovakian folk songs were given in quick succession ; these were all loudly applauded. A short sketch was given next by Miss Rosalie Dodsw- orth as Mrs. Waddlelumps; and Miss Catharine Dodsworth as Mrs. Skinnywhigs. This sketch was cleverly done by means of umbrellas dressed up to represent people, one expanding and the other contracting. Now followed a song entitled " Spinsters Three," by Miss Toyne, Miss Rosalie Dodsworth, and Miss Catharine Dodsworth ; it was well done and was applauded to the echo. Next came the hit of the evening, a song, " A Naughty Girl," by Miss Suzanne Dodsworth ; this really was good, and the actress deserves all the praise she gets. The programme ended with two Strauss waltzes and " three cheers for them," and they fully deserved it.

On Saturday, 11th March, Mr. Fothergill gave a lecture entitled " Climbing in Rocks, Ice, and Snow." Mr. Fothergill, who is a climber of great experience, showed many excellent slides, nearly all of which were coloured. He opened with a short introductory in which he described the best dress to wear and the equipment to take when climbing, and he told us how guides qualified, and how one could distinguish first class guides from impostors. He then took us to Switzerland, the paradise of snow and ice climbers, where we ascended the Matterhorn—a comparatively easy matter from where we sat in the Big Hall. Leaving Switzerland, we were taken to Chamonix and were shown views taken from Mont Blanc, views taken from truly amazing positions ; taken kneeling, sitting, lying, and even hanging by a rope from the edge of the cliff. During the evening we ascended, in quick succession, mountains in various countries in both snow and rocks. Mr. Fothergili emphasized the fact that climbing was not dangerous, and only needed common sense and coolheadedness. " 01 course," he said " people are sometimes naturally effected by height," and he quoted one instance when an Oxford Blue, who, when at the top of a mountain, overcome by dizziness, wished to fling himself down into the valley below. He ended by showing views taken in the English Lake District, many of which appeared to have been taken from the inside of the mountains. These, he said, could easily be climbed by one of us in an afternoon. We wondered. X 22 Cbc %cientific

President—The Headmaster.

Secretary—R. P. Warin.

Very little, in the way of lectures, has been done this term, as Exhibition Work has taken up most of the time. On Saturday, February 18th, L. A. Little gave us a lecture entitled " Chile Saltpetre." In this lecture he showed how the raw material is mined and worked up to the pure product. Mr. Ping gave a lecture on Saturday, February 11th, on " Water Supplv." He explained, with the aid of excellent slides, the passage of the water from the clouds to our taps. That the society is still flourishing is shown by the fact that we have a record membership list. the The exhibition was opened by the president, The Headmaster, on Friday, March 24th, in the Big Hall. In his opening speech he mentioned the remarkable progress science had made during this century, and said that now-a-days science from nearly every aspect is taught thoroughly in practically all schools. He referred to the work of Joseph Priestley, whose centenary is being celebrated this year, and said that his pioneer work in chemistry had led up to many more discoveries, the ultimate effect of which no one could prophesy. He then went on to congratulate Mr. Featherstone on his excellent work in connection with the exhibition, and recalled how the idea of an exhibition had been started and how it had been carried on, each occasion showing an advance on the previous one. The exhibition was divided up into the following sections :- Geography, Botany, Physics, Chemistry, Natural History, and a Junior School section. The Geography section contained some most interesting models and maps, of which the most noticeable were a model of Mount Everest, illustrating the recent expedition, and maps made by Dodd, N. L., and Smithson. An interesting series of specimens from the wool trade was sent by J. E. Priestley, an Old Peterite. This section deserves the greatest credit for their display, and especially for their hard work during the unfortunate absence of Mr. Greenway, owing to illness. We offer our heartiest congratulations to Mr. Rhodes who most splendidly filled the gap during Mr. Greenway's absence. 323

The Physics section,' which covers many departments such as the high frequency and cathode ray demonstrations, and the ultra violet light experiments, are to be complimented on their work.

Amongst the exhibits were model locomotive and marine engines by J. N. Emery, working- models of road and railway automatic traffic signals by G. C. Smith and N. Smithson, and the " Phantom Coin," which caused much amusement. The Wimshurst machine, in charge of R. H. Chapman, went well and was very popular.

Short wave transmission and reception was conducted by H. K. Worsley, by the kind permission of the G.P.O., aided by C. H. Perry. Worsley also managed the loud speaker announcing system.

In the Chemistry section the most popular exhibits were the demonstration of the manufacture of artificial silk by Douglas, Vasey, and White, and processes of fat extraction and of hydrogenation of oils by R. E. Campbell.

Mr. Ping showed a collection of local flowering plants, mosses, and liverworts, and of tree twigs, in the Botany section.

The Natural History was divided into two parts. One in the Biology Laboratory, which, amongst many other exhibits, contained a collection of shells arranged by our curator, L. A. Little. A very good model of a housefly, done by Mr. Milnes, attracted much attention and made an excellent exhibit. Fresh- water aquaria were displayed by P. D. Johnstone.

The other portion of the Natural History was in Mr. Sykes' room, which also contained many enlargements done by the Photography section. In it were collections of Birds, Birds' Eggs, and Butterflies, identified and arranged by R. P. Warin and our editor, R. W. Moore.

The junior School section put up a very creditable show, the most noticeable exhibit being an electric sign, which was worked by a steam engine.

During the evenings three lectures were given :-

THE LIQUEFACTION OF AIR W. H. G. Milnes, Esq. MUSHROOMS AND TOADSTOOLS A. W. Ping, Esq. SUGAR, ITS FORMATION AND TRANSFORMATIONS C. R. F. Featherstone, Esq.

These were very popular and were well attended. 3 24 Musical %octety. The usual School Concert has not been held this term owing to the activities of the Scientific Society, but the orchestra has met each week, and the following symphonies have been studied :— 1. Haydn (D major) The " London." 2. Mozart (E fiat major). 3. Beethoven (C major) The " First." 4. Schubert (B minor) The " Unfinished."

treopagites. The Ancient Society of the Areopagites was revived this term, the following taking the oath as members :—J. N. Emery (Tamias), C. H. Perry, T. W. Jenkins, S. Dodds, W. Toulmin, J. E. Smart. At a meeting held on Sunday, March 12th, the subject under discussion was " The part the Church plays in religion, and the part it should play." There were no visitors.

This term the O.T.C. has done nothing of note, so that we cannot report on its doings ; rain, snow, and floods have prevented any serious out-of-door work, and there have been no dress parades. The West Yorks. Depot have temporarily discontinued the practice of sending up N.C.O.s to take parades owing to the fact that increased enlistment has necessitated their retention by the regular army ; and here, perhaps, a word of comment would not be out of season. The idea of sending up an N.C.O. at random to drill a platoon, or to deliver a lecture (Mark III, Regular Army for the Instruction of) has very little to commend it. There is a wide difference in mentality between a regular and a public schoolboy, and what instructs the one frequently makes the other laugh ; those who can remember R.S.M. Holdsworth and S.M. Wright will know that regulars can achieve excellent results in the corps—but it must not be forgotten that the pair mentioned visited the corps so often that they almost became part of it— they knew the people they were drilling. It is impossible for any sergeant to get to know a platoon in one parade, and public schoolboys are not particularly responsive to regular army methods ; the difference in the results obtained by two picked men 325 with some experience of the corps, and a miscellaneous selection of N.C.O.s, hardly require emphasis. More attention might be given to the fact that the O.T.C. exists to train potential officers, not potential privates.

For the present, the training of platoons has been left entirely in the hands of platoon commanders; it is too early to judge the system, but it has the merit that the instructor knows something about the people he is instructing, if little about his subject.

The following were successful in the Cert. A. examinations last November :—J. M. Atkinson, J. B. Deas, G. Douglas, A. V. Mackintosh, R. Ogley, F. P. Sedman, J. E. Smart, W. Toulmin, R. P. Warin, J. Whalley.

" THE MUMMY CASE."—by Dermot Morrak. Dermot Morrak strikes out on an original theme in this intriguing story of university life. The yarn describes how a 'varsity don, who is a keen Egyptologist, is discovered dead in his study after a fire. At first it is not considered unusual, but the suspicions of two dons become aroused, and they endeavour to discover the real cause of the death. The scene changes to the Isle of Wight, where they run their quarry to earth after numerous exciting episodes including an adventure in the home of a rival of the deceased. 327

The story, although at first somewhat prolonged, is eventually worked out to an unexpected conclusion, and well merits the attention of those keen on this type of fiction.

" RUGGER STORIES "—Ed. Howard Marshall. " Rugger Stories " is a series of stories, poems and descriptions of Rugby matches by various authors, which are collected by Howard Marshall. It might, perhaps, have been advisable to leave out one or two stories which have been taken straight from a novel ; the reader is unable to gather the thread of the story, and only gets a vague description of a rugger match. The stories of John Buchan, J. B. Priestley, P. G. Wodehouse, and A. C. Macdonnel are especially well written, and the criticisms of recent important matches are also good. Included also is the well-known poem by J. C. Squire on the Inter-'Varsity rugger match. On the whole Howard Marshall has produced a book well worth reading.

May we take this opportunity of thanking Miss E. C. M. Toyne (soprano), D. V. Hewitt, O.P. (tenor), and V. G. Musgrove, O.P. (bass), for their valuable services in supplementing the Choir.

On Sunday, February 26th, instead of a sermon, Mr. Ping read a lecture to the School, in the Big Hall, on the Abolition of Slavery. This is the centenary of the abolition of slavery in the British Dominions, and William Wilberforce, who was Yorkshire born and bred, being educated at Pocklington, was fittingly mentioned as the father of the movement to free slaves. " But," Mr. Ping said, " although this great and admirable work has been going on for a hundred years already, there are still over four million slaves in Abyssinia alone." The slides shown were, on the whole, good, although one or two really gruesome ones had slipped in and the lecture was as good as one could hope for and expect under the conditions, for, as one can easily understand, lectures arc not at their best when entirely read. On the whole the School came away from the Big Hall more intelligent about slavery although, perhaps, unthrilled.

On Sunday, 12th February, P. H. Sykes, Esq., gave an organ recital in the Chapel. The programme is printed below, the two trumpet tunes and air being by special request.

1. Overture to the Occasional Oratorio Handel. Introduction, Maestoso ; Allegro ; Adagio ; March. 2. Pastorale Bach. 3. Two Trumpet Tunes and Air Henry Purcell. Hymn 172. Thou Whose Almighty Word.

'Rotes no Items. We congratulate N. W. D. Yardley on winning the "Squash" . Championship of the North of England. On Friday, 17th March, part of the School attended a service in the Minster to celebrate the centenary of the Abolition of Slavery, at which Lord Irwin was the speaker. We congratulate H. K. Worsley, J. E. Ruddock, R. P. Warin and W. Hardacre on being awarded their School Hockey Colours. Owing to the Old Boathouse having been destroyed by fire during the holidays, the New Boathouse is being extended, and when completed will be able to hold an " eight." At the beginning of the term some successful skating expedi- tions were made to Castle Howard. 330 Corresporthence. To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs, I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Toyne for the valuable coaching he has given the team. Also Mr. Smith and Mr. Bourne for their refereeing of league games. I should also like to thank Mrs. Toyne for the excellent teas she has so kindly provided for the teams.

Yours sincerely, R. OGLEY, Captain of Hockey.

To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs, Through the medium of your columns I should like to thank Mr. Ping, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Greenway and H. A. Butler, Esq., for the valuable work which they have done in coaching the boats this term. Particularly should I like to thank Mr. Rhodes and his helpers for the many hours spent in repairing boats.

Yours sincerely, E. A. G. HARROP, Captain of Boats.

To the Editors of " The Peteritc," Dear Sirs, May I suggest that when Old Peterites are desirous of pre- senting books to he Library they might be asked to give novels as well as history, etc. Obviously a Library like ours needs many history, geography and scientific books, but it also needs light fiction, and if there was more modern fiction in the Library, the .number of books taken out in a term would be increased enormously. Further, a list might be put up so that boys might put down the names of books they would like in the Library.

Yours sincerely, " KENT." 3 31

To the Editors of " The Peterite," Dear Sirs, For the benefit and information of certain ignorant critics, may I point out that when an organ is rebuilt, it always takes at least six months to settle down into reliable running order. In the case of the School Organ, it is completely under the care of the organ-builders for a period of twelve months from its reconstruc- tion. During this time, all repairs are carried out free of cost, provided that the mechanism of the organ is not tampered with. By next Christmas, the Organ will be out of the builders' hands, and, we hope, foolproof. Any small faults which it was impossible to detect at the time of re-building, will have shown themselves, and will have been remedied. Many people believe, owing to recent misbehaviour on the part of the Organ, that the money spent on re-building it has been wasted, and I hope this explanation will set their minds at rest. "A. N. ORGANIST."

Original Contrtbutions. (The Old Boathouse was set on fire during the holidays and to mark its passing we reprint the poem below from the " Peterite " of 1925 ; we understand that those responsible for the fire were told not to do it again.) " ONE MAN'S MEAT . . . 91 Hiram K. Hitton was touring round Britain In order to buv some estates; He'd buy up whole castles, and send them in parcels And have them built up in the States. And as he went squand'ring his money and wand'ring, He came up to Yorkshire in time. Determined to purchase the Minster and Churches And anything else that would rhyme. One day in his "flivver he came to the river, At York, where he saw on the bank That ancient construction, then doomed to destruction, All rotting and dirty and dank. He said " There are few in the world like this ruin, I guess I'll buy up this old shack ; Won't folk in Chicago be proud of this cargo— I reckon I'll take it right back." So to the Head's Study he went and said : Buddy, A thousand I'm willing to pay." The Head said : " Don't trouble, the School \\ ill Fyry double, If only you'll take it away." " ITOUSITE." 332

(With apologies to the shade of " Lucy.") It lay beside the trodden ways Upon the banks of Ouse, A structure none could wish to praise, And very few to use.

An eyesore, by the Swimming Club, Half hidden from the view, Housing one very antique tub, And sometimes other two.

It lay unloved, and few could care That it should cease to lie, Its timbers now lie charred and bare, Its smoke ascends on high. " TWO HOUSITES."

" THE SCHOOL GHOST." I've seen the ghost Of Peter's, York, I've heard the ghost, I heard it talk !

As I was walking through the Hall, As any person might, I heard a ghastly, gruesome groan, And dimmer went the light. And suddenly I heard a click— It might have been a groan— Then suddenly the lights went out And I was left alone. Yet not alone I felt myself, For something at my side Wag leading me towards the door ; I could have sworn it sighed. This impulse led me through the door Along the flags outside; • I broke into a horrid sweat And very nearly cried. Then all at once I heard a sound, My blood was frozen cold ; A shriek arose, I found my limbs Could scarcely be controlled. A wheezing cough, a creaking sound, A stealthy, sniffling sob ; I felt my head go round and round, My heart began to throb. I wondered if the ghost would be Completely " Black and White " ; 333

If " Many evil slippers " then Would quickly mount the flight Of office steps. The moaning grew Louder and louder still— The sort of noise which one can hear Inside a water mill. The crashing grew and then a roar Filled all the air around ; The sort of roar for which the Mount Vesuvius is renowned. And then a click, a kind of clang, A dull, metallic sound ; A sound as if some spectre chains Came clattering to the ground. Then all was still, a gleam appeared Above the office steps ; I looked to see the " Black and White f1 And hoped for even Schweppes. The lights went on, a face appeared, " I've seen the ghost," I said. I turned around and to the House I very quickly sped. I've seen the ghost, a real true ghost, And I'll give you the gist Of what I saw. The ghost appeared just like our organist. In fear I took my pen and tried, Was forced, to write so fast ; And that is why the first four lines Are different from the last. THE COUNT.

Thochey. RETROSPECT. The Press of England now holds such an exalted position that it is dangerous to be a free lance contributing to an old- established paper with a steady and certified circulation. One simply must obey the adamant editor-in-chief and send in the " copy " by a given date. Otherwise, it might have been tempting to have waited until the Old Peterite match was over, and heard whether any of the Old Peterites dared to mutter that " the XI was good, I admit, but in my day we beat so and so." Possibly they may like to think so, but as a keen follower of form (that is, I believe, the technical term), I am quite confident that, as a team, the team of 1933 is not only outstanding, but the best 334

side that the School has ever had. It is evenly balanced, and instead of possessing a star or two, is in itself a constellation. It has played three really strong sides—Scarborough (beaten only once), Worksop (beaten only once), and York (beaten only by Scarborough).

In the first match the ground was only just playable after the snow, and the School, undoubtedly, had the best of the luck, and were lucky to win and not draw against our sporting adversaries ; but, on the other hand, our forward line had not been properly settled, and we had not had sufficient practice. Worksop, who had just beaten Cranwell, were a fast, well- balanced side—better than they were two years ago, although they had not a star of the calibre of Burton. It was a great game ; clean hockev, with a commendable absence of whistle—com- mendable to the players of both sides. Territorially, Worksop had most of the game, but the ball control of Dodds and Ruddock, and the intrepid and stalwart defence of Worsley in goal just turned the scale, while Ogley was " great."

The match against York was in many ways spoilt for lovers of sporting hockey, though it was in no way lacking in incident and thrill. It seems a pity that a game cannot be conducted in friendly rivalry. There were far too many fouls, and a plethora of referees, captains, coaches, and running commentators. Happily it was the only match in which these incidents occurred is it that both sides were too keen on records?

On April 5th the County Secretary is bringing a side against the School, and it is hoped that the " gate " will be good ; and we hope that the School side will prove itself the best team that St. Peter's has produced.

CHARACTERS OF THE XI. R. Og-ley.—A remarkably clever back ; he must take his place with our other two distinguished backsB. D. Toyne (Indian Army), and L. F. Leversedge (Cambridge University). He will go very far in hockey.

N. NV. D. Yardley.—A rattling shot, who should rival our distinguished international very clever with stick and combines well with

S. Dodds.—A hard-working centre-forward—less wild as a shot this season, and also clever with his stick.

F. P. Sedman.—An indefatigable centre-half—has he ever been tired? 335 H. K. Worsley.—A splendid goalkeeper—with stick, foot, hand, body, or face—the School owes much to him.

J. E. Ruddock.—Has developed into a fine outside-right—centres well, and always good to watch.

R. P. Warin.--Has been rather uncertain, at times brilliant, but will " turn " too much, and so gives free hits to the opponents.

W. Hardacre.—An energetic half-back, whose hard work more than outweighs a lack of pace.

J. M. Atkinson.—A good back on a medium-paced or soft ground —must speed up on a hard ground.

A. V. Mackintosh.—A tricky outside-left--apt to hang off-side.

J. W. Stead.--An improving half-back who should do well with more experience. SCHOOL MATCHES. Wed., Feb. 1 v. West Yorks. Reg-t Home...Cancelled. Sat., Feb. 4 v.

SCHOOL v. LEEDS CORINTHIANS. Played at home on Saturday, February 4th. RESULT :—WON 8-0. The School opened the season by gaining a clean cut victory over Leeds Corinthians by 8 clear goals, thus repeating the success of last year. N. W. D. Yardley (5), and S. Dodds (3), were the scorers, and the team showed that with practice they would be a side above the average with great scoring possibilities. 336

St. Peter's soon settled down after the start, their opponents-- seldom being in the School half. After about 8 minutes' play Yardley opened the scoring, and from that point the defence was not seriously troubled ; when called upon, it proved safe. R. Ogley and F. P. Sedman, at back and centre-half respectively,. were the outstanding players.

The forwards settled down well after a moderate start, Warin,. on the right wing, playing an excellent game, and it was from his well-judged centres that most of the goals came. The Corinthians were really outclassed, and it was most unfortunate for them that they arrived with two men short, their places being filled by School deputies.

Team :—H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs) ; W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs) ; J. E. Ruddock, A. V. Mackintosh, S. Dodds, N. W. D. Yardley, R. P. Warin (Forwards).

SCHOOL v. SCARBOROUGH. Played at home on Saturday, February 11th. RESULT :—WON 6-5. The School beat a strong Scarborough team at York after a close game by 6 goals to 5. The ground was very heavy when play started, and Scarbbrough were quickly on the attack, only resolute tackling by the School defenders keeping them out. Then, after a fine forward movement, Yardley opened the scoring for the home side. The School, after a slow start, were now pressing hard, Mackintosh making an excellent shot at goal. Scarborough then quickly equalised and took the lead . after 20 minutes' play. Scarborough then went further ahead, but Sedman soon reduced the arrears for the School. Just on half time Scarborough scored a brilliant goal with the score 4-2 in their favour. After half time the School forwards combined well and were quite effective at times. Yardley scored for St. Peter's almost immediately on the restart, but their opponents retaliated with another goal from a good centre. The School were now playing a very determined game and Yardley made the score level with two brilliant goals. The School were now definitely superior,. and only hard tackling by the Scarborough backs kept them from scoring more. Finally, the School took the lead through Yardley, who played a very dashing game throughout. The backs were uncertain at times, while Sedman was the best of an effective half-back line. The forwards were very slow in settling down and, no doubt, missed the absence of their regular centre-forward. 337

Team :—H. K. Worsley (Goal); R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs); W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs); J. E. Ruddock, R. P. Warin, A. V. Mackintosh, N. W. D. Yardley, E. Powell (Forwards).

SCHOOL v. 3rd HUSSARS. Played at home on Saturday, February 18th. RESULT :—WON 11-0. The School had matters all their own way in this match, the forwards having a great day. They showed great speed and ability to shoot when given little space to move in. The Hussars, although they played clever hockey, were outshone by the brilliance of the School team. Baines was an able substitute for Ruddock, scoring an excellent goal in the second half. Dodds (5), Yardley (5), were the other scorers for the School, who were continually pressing throughout. The defence, when tested, was steady, and did not allow their opponents' forwards much scope. Sedman played a stirling game at half-back, feeding his forwards well, while Dodds and Yardley combined well in the forwards.

Team :—H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs); W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs); A. V. Mackintosh, N. W. D. Yardley, S. Dodds, P. N. Baines, R. P. Warin (Forwards).

SCHOOL v. NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS. Played at Fulford on Wednesday, February 22nd. RESULT :—WON 5-0. This match was played under very adverse conditions, snow covering the ground, and the game being abandoned 10 minutes from time owing to a blizzard. In spite of this the School played well and were definitely superior to their opponents. There was no score until 5 minutes from half-time, the School forwards being inaccurate in front of goal, but Dodds put in a magnificent shot which was equally magnificently saved by the goalkeeper, but, before he could recover, Mackintosh dashed up and scored to give the School the lead. After the interval Dodds (2), and Yardley (2), increased the score, the Fusiliers finding the miserable conditions too much for them. For the School the halves were excellent, although they were apt to pass a little too hard when near the circle. The forwards were not so good as usual, although Warin did a lot of useful worn. Worsley in goal had little to do, as the Fusiliers were rarely seen in the School half. 338

Team :—H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs); W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs) ; J. E. Ruddock, R. P. Warin, S. Dodds, N. W. D. Yardley, A. V. Mackintosh (Forwards).

SCHOOL v. DONCASTER H.C. Played at home, on Thursday, March 9th. RESULT :—WON 3-1. The evening match against Doncaster resulted in a win for the School by 3 goals to 1. Early .in the first half, Yardley opened the scoring for St. Peter's through a well-timed pass from Dodds. Doncaster, who were rather ragged, were not playing well together, and the School would have increased their lead considerably if they had taken their chances. However, just before half-time Yardley again scored to make the score 2-0 in favour of St. Peter's. In the second half Doncaster really settled down and made some good attacks, being unlucky not to score on several occasions. Play was now in the School half for some time, and only good tackling by the backs kept Doncaster from scoring. The School then started to attack, and Ruddock took the ball up the field for Dodds to add yet a third goal. The School could not score again, however, easy scoring chances being missed by the forwards, and Doncaster scored their only goal from a corner late in the second half. St. Peter's were not at the top of their form, the forwards especially being very slow at times, and showing lack of finishing power. Ogley was a tower of strength at back, while Worsley was always safe in goal. Team :—H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs) ; W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs) ; J. E. Ruddock, R. P. Warin, S. Dodds, N. W. I). Yardley, A. V. Mackintosh (Forwards).

SCHOOL v. WORKSOP COLLEGE. At Worksop. RESULT :—WON 3-2. Ideal conditions prevailed for this match, the weather being hot and the ground very hard. The School lost the toss and played with the sun behind them. The opening stages found the game very fast, the ball being swung about a great deal, but both defences were steady. Shortly after the start Worksop took the lead, a promising movement on the left materialising when Lyth scored. 339

Almost immediately afterwards the School equalised, Sedman, who played an extraordinary good game throughout, scoring with a deceptive shot. Play continued in a brisk style, both teams striving for the lead, which came to St. Peter's just before half-time, Dodds scoring an excellent goal from an awkward position. Half-time :—SCHOOL, 2 ; WORKSOP, 1. Worksop attacked immediately on the resumption, and Ogley and Sedman put in a lot of useful work in defence. From a breakaway, however, Dodds was unfortunate to he pulled up for offside. Worksop again attacked fiercely, but Ogley repeatedly cleared in splendid style, as did Martin for Worksop when the School broke away. Following up, after an excellent clearance iw the School defence, Dodds dispossessed the Worksop back and broke through the defence in great style to put the School further ahead. Again Worksop attacked, but the School defence prevailed until about three minutes from time, when Lyth broke through and shot past Worsley as the goalkeeper advanced. No further scoring ensued, and St. Peter's retained their unbeaten record. For the School, Sedman, Ogley and Dodds were conspicuous, and the team as a whole played well. Yardley was well marked, being allowed little scope, and for the first time failed to score in a match this season. Snow, the Lyth brothers, and Martin put in a lot of useful work for the home team.

Final Score :—SCHOOL, 3; WORKSOP COLLEGE,

Team :—H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs) ; W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs); A. V. Mackintosh, N. W. D. Yardley, S. Dodds, R. P. Warin, J. E. Ruddock (Forwards).

SCHOOL v. YORK H.C. The match against York resulted in a drawn game, each side scoring four goals. Play was of a very high standard, and the School did well to hold their faster opponents. The ground was exceedingly soft and slippery when play started. However, it soon became obvious that St. Peter's had met their match, for K. G. Chilman made a brilliant solo run for the visitors, and only timely action by Worsley in goal relieved the situation. 340 After this the School settled down to become a really effective combination, and after a scramble in the goalmouth, Warin scored with a low shot. The School were now almost continually pressing, and both Yardley and Dodds were unlucky not to score on several occasions. Play was rarely in the School half, but York, in their few raids, took their opportunities and soon equalised after a fine movement on the left wing. St. Peter's continued to press, Dodds and Yardley combining well, and it was the former who put the School ahead ten minutes before the interval with a fine shot, leaving the goalkeeper helpless. A few minutes later St. Peter's went further ahead through Sedman, who played his usual dashing game. After this there was no further score until the interval, when the whistle found St. Peter's still pressing. Half-time :—SCHOOL, 3 ; YORK, 1. After half-time York made determined efforts to score and increased the pace considerably. This, undoubtedly, upset St. Peter's, for their forwards were rarely in the picture, and were defending for the best part of the half. York's fast moving forwards soon pierced the School defence for K. G. Chilman to flick the ball into the net. Only sure tackling by Ogley, and especially Worsley in goal, kept York from drawing level. York were now having most of the game, the School defence being really hard-worked, and, despite great work by Sedman, the visitors equalised. After this the School forwards made some good attacks and were unlucky on several occasions, being pulled up for offside. Nevertheless, York took the lead after a corner. The School then rallied and were awarded a corner, but they failed to use it to their advantage. York were now definitely superior, and it seemed only a matter of time before they increased their lead. However, St. Peter's rallied well and the defence managed to withstand the York attacks. Just on time Ruddock raced away with the ball on the right wing to Centre for Yardley to score a brilliant equaliser. Final Score : 4 4. A draw was a fitting result to such an excellent game, the School being superior in the first half and York in the second. All the forwards combined well for the School, while the defence, though severely tested, stuck gamely to its task. Worsley was very safe in goal and foiled York on many occasions.

Team H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs) ; W. Hardacre, F. P. Sedman, J. W. Stead (Half-backs) ; A. V. Mackintosh, N. W. D. Yardley, S. Dodds, R. P. Warin, J. E. Ruddock (Forwards). 34 1 SCHOOL v. HULL H.C. Played at home, on Saturday, March 25th. RESULT :—WON 2-1. The School defeated Hull at home by 2 goals to 1 after a poor game. They failed to show anything like their best form, and for three quarters of the game Hull were in the School half, but their forwards were poor in front of goal, otherwise the score might have been different. The School backs defended well to keep the home goal intact until later in the second half when Wainscoat scored for the visitors from an easy position.

After the start, Hull attacked in brilliant fashion, their centre-forward flicking the ball into the net, but the goal was disallowed for offside. This roused the home side, and after a period of mid-field play, Yardley opened the scoring with a shot that almost hit the cross bar, leaving the goalkeeper no chance. Shortly afterwards the School went further ahead, Warin scoring after a scramble in the goalmouth. Half-time arrived with Hull attacking hard, the School leading 2-0.

On the restart Hull showed more determination, but their speedy attacks failed to penetrate the School defence. The forwards were very slow, the visitors' backs nearly always beating them for the ball. Lack of understanding between halves and forwards was also noticeable, while the backs were extremely hard workers. However, towards the final whistle Hull were rewarded for their many attacks with an open goal.

Final :—SCHOOL, 2 ; HULL, 1,

Team :--H. K. Worsley (Goal) ; R. Ogley, J. M. Atkinson (Backs) ; J. W. Stead, F. P. Sedman, W. Hardacre (Half-backs) ; J. E. Ruddock, R. P. Warin, S. Dodds, N. W. D. Yardley, A. V. Mackintosh (Forwards).

HOUSE MATCHES. The draw was as follows :— School House v. School House Rise (Holders) 3-0 v. Day Boys Grove } 4-2 v. Day Boys Day Boys 12-0

The semi-finals were played off on Friday, March 24th, and the final on Monday, March 27th. 342

In the semi-final matches the School House, with a team composed entirely of 1st XI and 2nd XI players, defeated the Rise after a moderate game by 3 clear goals. There was little combination on either side, Yardley and Ogley, R., for the School House and Rise respectively, being the important factors.

In the other semi-final tie the Day Boys beat the Grove, being superior in every department of the game. The Grove never gave up hope, and although they were outclassed they showed great grit and determination.

In the final the Day Boys were expected to win a close game because of their exceptionally strong forward line. They fully came up to the expectations of their supporters by winning a very fine game by 4 goals to 2.

The g-ame was contested at a fast pace throughout, interest in it never flagging, due to the exceptional keenness of both sides.

Play was of a very even nature in the first half, both sires making every effort to take the lead. After 15 minutes' play the School House were unlucky to be one down, Powell scoring with a poor shot which was misjudged by the goalkeeper. No further scoring resulted until half-time with the Day Boys slightly the superior side.

On the restart the School House did most of the attacking for Mackintosh to equalise with a perfect shot. After this the Day Boys showed great determination and vigour ; but the School House were again unfortunate, for Yardley put the ball through his own goal by diverting a shot from Summers.

The Day Boys then went further ahead through Powell, who scored with a low shot. The School House forwards were continually being pulled up for "offside," and this may have upset them to some extent. However, Mackintosh reduced the deficit by an excellent shot, but in spite of determined efforts by Yardley the Day Boys' defence prevailed, and the School House could not draw level. To put the issue beyond doubt, Dodds scored for the Day Boys after beating several opponents.

Great pressure by the School House was of no avail after this reverse, Harrop being exceptionally sound at full - back for the Winners.

The Day Boys are to be congratulated on their victory, and it has been said that they are one of the best House sides that have been seen for many years. 343 TEAMS. Day Boys :—Hanks (Goal) ; N. W.

*Rowing. It must be admitted that we have had less rowing in this term than we can remember in any Easter term in our time. We started off quite well with the usual tubbing, but then came frost, and skating somewhat supervened. Then came snow, and more snow, with frequent blizzards. Some hardy crews actually tried to continue rowing through the blizzards, and one now recalls seeing a crew with white snow caps on their heads, and the boat half full of snow. Then came the thaw and floods, higher than any since 1892 (so they say), and we were driven off the river altogether for more than a week. Hence the practice for the House Boat Races has been very limited. The First Division Races had to be postponed a week from the date originally fixed, and they were actually rowed on March 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. The standard of rowing, although perhaps not up to that of some years, was quite creditable. All the races were rowed in a strong head wind which considerably nullified the effect of the current, and the river was very choppy. The draw was not in any way " arranged," and is given below. The preliminary round between Rise I and School House II was started promptly to time on Tuesday, 21st, and after a good race, in which the Rise (on the boat-house side of the river) obtained a slight lead soon after the start, ultimately to win by 21 lengths. Time, 3 minutes 49 seconds. On the Wednesday, Grove I met Day Boys I in the first heat Grove rowed steadily and well together on the railway side of the river to win by 3 lengths. Time, 4 minutes 8 seconds. Rise I, on the railway side, then rowed School House I, and, although the School House gained a lead by their very excellent start, the Rise were continually coming up, though they never managed to get near level terms. At the finish School House were 1"1 lengths ahead. Time, 3 minutes 49 seconds. 344 The final between School House I and Grove 1 showed the Grove to be full of pluck against a heavier and more experienced crew, and they hung on gamely to lose by 4 lengths. Time, 4 minutes 15 seconds.

School House I well deserved their win as they were very nicely together, and on the days of the races appeared absolutely at the top of their form. Their starts were excellent. ebe 'Draw. Grove Grove} c.; Day Boys } 2 School House II... Rise 1. School House I.. :3 Rise j School House I

the 010 coat mouse. Fire ! Fire ! Fire !

The Christmas term had only just come to an end when, on the evening of Thursday, December 22nd, the telephone bell rang, and information was given that " St. Peter's School boat house was on fire."

Boaters can imagine the horrible sickening feeling that I experienced as, hastening across the Grove field, 1 saw the boat house blazing from end to end.

At first it seemed as if both boat houses must be involved in total destruction, but, on arriving on the spot, one could see that the brick sides and asbestos tiles of the roof of the new boat house were withstanding the terrific heat. The York fire engine could 345 not get to the scene, and finally operated from one of the streets in Clifton and saved the swimming club premises, which had caught fire on one side.

The new boat house doors had been burst open and all the boats dragged out by well-meaning bystanders, whereby considerable damage was done to the boats and all the various tools were " lost."

The old boat house was entirely and absolutely consumed ; nothing was left but the brick piles on which it had stood for so many years.

Mr. S. Holtby, of Clifton, says that it is quite 50 years since he undertook the raising from the ground level on to those piles, and he estimates that the boat house was then 20 years old, at least. So that the old place must have been in use between 70 and 80 years.

The origin of the fire is now known. Three youths, whose only motive appears to have been a desire to see a blaze, stole a tin of petrol, and, having thrown the tin inside the boat house, deliberately set the place on fire.

The punishments meted out by the magistrates were fines from to and the youths were bound over for three years, and also it was a condition that they should attend a night school.

It is not intended to replace the old boat house, but, with the help of money received from the Insurance Company, we arc adding two sections to the new boat house. A.W.P. 1Rugbv football.

ST. PETER'S v. OLD PETERITES. RESULT :—WON.

SCHOOL, 13 pte. (1 try 2 goals); O.P.s, 11 pte. (2 tries 1 goal).

The 0.P.s kicked off in misty conditions. The School pressed hard for the first ten minutes, and Emery received the ball and scrambled through to score in the corner. Ogley converted with a magnificent kick. The O.P.s began to press, but a long kick by Baker relieved the situation.

Soon after Dodds picked up and sent Baker over with a reverse pass to score between the posts. The kick was rushed down. 346

The next score came from the 0.P.s after a brilliant three- quarter movement which ended by J. G. Troop crossing the line. The School pressed hard and Dodds, receiving the ball from Toulmin, went over near the posts. Yardley converted. Half- time came with play fairly even in the middle of the field.

On the recommencement of play the 0.P.s began with a snap try which was converted. The School were hard-pressed to keep the 0.P.s out and succeeded until ten minutes from the end, when they scored from a forward rush. The kick failed. From then until the end play was fairly even, although St Peter's very nearly scored from a kick ahead. " No Side " came with the School two points ahead, a match which they had won on the play of the first half.

The forwards played a sterling game, while the backs tackled well, although the ball hardly ever reached the wings.

The team was H. E. Frisby ; W. Toulmin, S. Dodds, J. E. Ruddock, R. Ogley ; N. W. D. Yardley, A. V. Mackintosh ; R. C. Baker, H. K. Worsley, j. E. Smart, j. N. Emery, B. C. Baker, G. Douglas, J. Whalley, F. P. Sedman. HOUSE MATCHES. The House matches were held on February With and 17th this year, and the ground was in a fairly good condition. The results of the draw were as follows :—

Day Boys v. Day Boys

Rise t3-0. School House School House School House 6-3.

v. } 20-0. Grove DAY BOYS v. RISE. The Ris.e started off at a fast pace and for a few minutes kept the Day Boys penned in their own half. A kick by Hardacre brought relief, and play remained very even till almost half-time, when Whalley, attempting to clear under his own posts, mis- kicked, and Ruddock picked up and ran over for the Day Boys ; Dodds converted, and half-time came with the Day Boys leading 5-0. In the second half play fluctuated from end to end . of the field, but each side just failed to pierce the opposing defence. Tackling was keen on both sides, but a dropped pass in the middle of the second half by the Day Boys spoiled an almost certain try. Towards the end Sedman attempted a dropped goal from close in ; the ball did not rise, but rolled under the posts and the same player 347 ran over and touched down for a try. Dodds' kick hit the cross-bar. The Rise pressed hard, but the defence held out and the final whistle came with the score 8-0 to the Day Boys. SCHOOL HOUSE v. GROVE. The School House fielded a very strong side against the Grove, who were without D. Lupton. The House were wfthin an ace of scoring several times in the first few minutes, but determined tackling kept them out. They were, however, the faster and more experienced side, and the inevitable scores c; me through NJ ackintosh and Yardley in the first half. Jenkins also crossed for the House, but dropped the ball before touching down. Half-time came with the School House leading 0 0. In the second half the School House were pressing continually and were almost always in possession of the ball. Determined tackling by the Grove kept the score down, but the superior speed and passing of the House brought them four further tries through Toulmin, Yardley, and Emery, one of which Yardley converted. The Grove never looked like scoring, and the final whistle blew with the School House still on the offensive and the score 20-0 in their favour. The final between the School House and Day Boys proved one of the best and most evenly-contested ever witnessed in House matches. The School House looked the more dangerous in attack, being the faster side, and for a long time kept the Day Boys on the defensive. The Day Boys' defence, however, was very sound, Dodds' tackling, especially, saving a dangerous situation more than once. The Day Boys' attacks were spasmodic and did not possess the necessary thrust and finish to pierce the School House sound and speedy 'defence. Just before half-time Yardley kicked ahead for Toulmin to race over and just beat Ruddock for the touch-down. The kick at goal failed, and half-time came with the School House leading 3-0. Play in the second half was keen and fast, sweeping from end to end of the field. The Day Boys tried hard to level the scores, and there was a great deal of excitement when Dodds got possession with some thirty yards to run and no one to beat. Jenkins went after him and just succeeded in bringing him down a few feet short of the School House line. The Day Boys continued to press, and eventually Powell picked up on the House " 25 " and ran over far out. This brought the score to 3-3, and a few minutes later the Day Boys had an opportunity of deciding the issue when awarded a penalty kick ; Dodds' kick, however, fell short and the whistle went with the scores level at

3-3. , Extra time was played and a tremendous struggle ensued, each side 'making terrific efforts to obtain the deciding score. In the eighth minute of extra time Toulmin forced his way over after some close play in the Day Boys' " 25," thus giving the School House victory after a magnificent game. 34 8 9.iquazi) lilacquetz. RETROSPECT.

Vile have once again come to the end of a very successful season, our team remaining unbeaten throughout the term, and the holidays. Our fixtures included a match against Haileybury, whom we beat, for the first time since the fixture was started, quite easily. We visited Leeds Grammar School and found their new courts to be a great success for playing in, although accom- modation for spectators is somewhat limited. We registered a great victory against Harrogate in which Mackintosh won a splendid match over five games against W. E. Harbord, the Yorkshire cricketer. Other victims included the 5th Northumber- land Fusiliers and the Yorkshire Rocks.

The team was again led by N. W. D. Yardley, who was excellently supported by T. W. Jenkins and A. V. Mackintosh, who ably filled the place vacated by R. C. Baker at the end of last term. C. H. Perry and S. Dodds filled the places of fourth and fifth strings, respectively, when required.

• The Northern Championship was once again played off in our courts, and we must congratulate N. W. D. Yardley on his splendid victory over C. W. C. Packe, the holder. His victims included the Earl of Ronaldshay, 3-0 ; P. Stobart, the Oxford University and Yorkshire player, 3-0 ; A. J. Gardham, 3-1 ; and F. Smith•, 3-0.

The School will be represented in the Drysdale Cup by T. W. Jenkins and N. W. D. Yardley, who, it will be remembered, was last year's runner-up.

MATCHES. On Sunday, 12th February, the Yorkshire Rocks were beaten by the School, who gained an easy victory by three matches to none.

N. W. D. Yardley beat M. W. R. Pease, 9-3, 9-7, 9:-5. Pease was much out of practice, but improved considerably in the second game. Yardley gained much by his length hitting and the use of the angles, which caused his opponent to do a tremendous amount of running about. Pease played well in the second game and the beginning of the third, but he began to tire and left Yardley an easy winner.

T. W. Jenkins beat S. M. Toyne, 3-9, 9-7, 4-9, 10-8, 9-3. 349

This was an excellent match, and Toyne played magnificently to win the first game, but was greatly helped by Jenkins, who hit many returns down. Jenkins played better to win the second game, but lost the third. After a tremendous struggle Jenkins just won the fourth, and in the fifth game outplayed Toyne, who was obviously tired.

A. V. Mackintosh beat R. C. Baker, 9-4, 9-5, 9-7.

This match was very interesting ; a match between this term's and last term's third strings. Baker, although very much out of practice, was very energetic and played well, but Mackintosh, playing well and using the side walls and length shots cleverly, fully deserved his victory.

The School played well against the Northumberland Fusiliers, whom they beat, each person winning 3-0.

Against Leeds Grammar School the School won 3-0.

Yardley beat J. H. Philippson, 3-0. Jenkins beat D. Sheppard, 3-0, without losing a point. Mackintosh beat V. C. Harris, 3-0.

The School beat Harrogate by two matches to one.

N. W. D. Yardley beat H. S. Burrows, 9-4, 9-6, 10-8.

This was a good match and proved that Burrows is one of the most improved players in Yorkshire. Yardley won the first game easily, volleying and half-volleying cleverly. There was a great struggle in the next two games, but the superior stroke-play of Yardley was successful over the persistent retrieving of Burrows.

T. W. Jenkins lost to P. Yorke, 3-9, 2-9, 5-9.

This was not a good match, as Yorke is an extraordinarily hard person to play against. He hits the ball hard and has an amazing reach. This rather put Jenkins off his straight drops, and angle shots caused him to hit many shots on to the tin.

A. V. Mackintosh beat W. E. Harbord, 8-10, 9-5, 9-6, O--9, 10-8.

This was a really magnificent match, and Mackintosh gained the best victory he has had so far. Harbord is a difficult man to beat as he rarely makes a mistake and also is very good on the back-hand. Mackintosh lost the first game after leading 6-0, 350 and won the next two. In the fourth game, however, he failed to register a point. In the final and best game Mackintosh at one time led 6-4, but Harbord retrieved and led 8-6, and then, after many changes of hand, Mackintosh, playing steadily, pulled away to win 10-8.

THE SCHOOL v. HAILEYBURY. This match was played for the fourth time in the courts of Queen's Club, London.

St. Peter's won for the first time, having been beaten twice previously by a single point. This year, however, it was a very easy victory for us by three matches to none.

N. W. D. Yardley beat — Robertson, 3-0.

Yardley, although not by any means on the top of his form, had no difficulty in defeating his opponent with the loss of only two points. His varied stroke-play was too much for his opponent, whom he constantly caught on the wrong foot.

T. W. Jenkins beat C. I. De Rivaz, 3-0.

Although the Haileyburian obtained many more points in this match than the first string it was also a very easy win for St. Peter's. Jenkins was playing badly at the beginning of the match and hit many simple returns down. But he got better in the second and third games, in which he completely outclassed his opponent.

R. C. Baker beat the Haileybury third string, 3-2.

This was the best match of the day, and at times the issue was very much in doubt. Baker won the first two games quite easily, and then his opponent seemed to hit his form and played well to win the next two games. Baker, however, recovered in the fifth game and managed to win after a hard struggle. The game throughout was played at a fast pace, and hard hitting up and down the court was the feature of the game. Che Cross Country. The Cross Country race was run on Friday, March 3rd, and resulted in a win for the School House, the Individual Cup again going to F. P. Sedman.

Owing to the fact that the Ings was three feet deep in water, the course was altered to include the North Road and part of the 35 1 Long Run ; the various fields, ploughed and otherwise, were waterlogged, which made the going very heavy.

The pace set was fast from the start, and the field soon strung out ; over the plough, a bunch of five were almost level in the lead, headed by Warin. Down the North Road they began to string out further. Corning up Clifton, Smart took the lead, but was passed again by Sedman. No comment can, of course, be made on the time.

The final placings were

School House. Rise. Day Boys. Grove. 1. Sedman. 1.. 2. Smart. 2. 3. Newman. 3. 4. Whalley. 4._ 5. Warin. 5.. 6. Moore. 6. 7. Crook. 7. 8. Dodds. 8.. 9. McLean. 9. . 10. Watson. 10. 11.

C. D. Trimmer, 0.P., who has taken a special course in boxing at Aldershot, kindly came to referee the finals. The general standard of boxing throughout showed little improvement from last year, and can be adequately described as " fighting.'' In many cases the result would have been quite different if they

35 2

had known more about the science of boxing, and not gone into the ring with the intention of knocking their opponent out in the first second. It is often said that when one gets into the ring one forgets almost everything one has learnt about boxing, but in most cases, particularly the heavyweights, the boxers seemed to have no idea of the elements of the sport at all.

It is to be hoped that the standard of boxing throughout the School will improve considerably if we are to get experienced referees to come down and referee the School boxing.

The lightweights showed most promise, particularly Russell and Buckler, who showed considerable knowledge of the sport.

Among the heavyweights Baker confounded the critics and showed great pluck in beating Douglas, who would have done better if he had gone into the fight more. The bout between Worsley and Baines deserves little mention except that it was just " hitting," and it must have been difficult to decide which was the winner.

The Boxing Cup went to the Rise, who gained 5 points, whilst the School House received 4, the Grove 2, and the Day Boys 1. Detailed results are given below.

Several competitions have been held among the recruits, whose standard of shooting continues to improve.

Ebe junior %cboot. Most of us will remember Easter Term, 1933, on account of the severe winter weather experienced during February : we enjoyed many forms of winter sports including skating, snow- balling- , and also snow-house building. The snow-house in the playground—which was called an " igloo "—made an excellent fort, and many were the attacks and counter-attacks round about it. The big floods which followed the thaw gave some of us an opportunity to get some excellent photographs. One of the special features of this term has been the arrange- ment of boxing tournaments in the big school room on free Saturday evenings. A good deal of trouble was taken by the promoters to stage the contests properly, and things were done in a very orderly manner. 355 On Monday, M arch 20th, we had a most interesting lecture by Miss Weller on " A visit to Rhineland." This was illustrated by a number of very fine lantern slides.

The Junior School members of the Scientific Society made a good show in the Exhibition. There were a number of interesting aquarium tanks, a joint collection of birds' eggs, specimens of Spring wild flowers and twigs of local trees, and also some very nice drawings and sketches of natural history subjects. The home-made electrical models showed that a good deal of thought and care had been given to their preparation.

We found the whole Exhibition most entertaining, and some of the experiments particularly fascinating.

At the time of writing these notes we are all thinking of the Sports, and we are rather pleased to hear that the famous Steeplechase is to be separated into a Senior and Junior division.

In the meantime some of us are beginning to practice cricket in the glorious summer-like weather that we are having during the last fortnight of term.

In spite of these drawbacks we have had quite a good term of football. The first 30 or 40 have had " rugger," and the remainder " soccer."

We have had two matches with Clifton House School, Harrogate ; the first, at York, ended in a win for our visitors by 18 points to 17, and in the return match we won by 20 points to 9. X 56

On March 28th we met S. Bede's, Hornsea, at York, and won by 21 points to nil.

We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Davis, who coached the Senior game this term, and his packing of the scrum 3 and 4 with an extra half-back worked admirably, as we had a sufficiently heavy scrum to hold our opponents, and were enabled to get the ball out so much quicker.

The following comprised the School XV :—Segar (Capt.), Windram (Vice-Capt.), Heywood, Ping (A), Toulson, Whitehorn, Whitney, Amor (D), Butler, Walters, Wright (A. T. H.), Buckler, (0), Croskell, Jerrard, Brockbank ; also played Gossop, Telfor, Ward, Capaldi, Griffiths, Wright (J. A.).

The Athletic Sports heats are to be run off on Friday after- noon, March 31st, and the Finals on Monday, April 1st, along with the Senior School.
