GONE WEST YOUNG MEN

A P A R T Y O F twelve cricketers, led by L . C. Williams, left the

Union on the 28th of June, bound for the West Country. The first

game, theoretically, against Southampton University, was unfortun­

ately cancelled, and so we arrived at Bridport, and our first hotel,

rather earlier than expected.

SANDHURST DEFEATED

Sportlight

THE SEASON BEGINS A T T H E BEGINNING of each academic year the College sports'

clubs hope, above all, for success—naturally enough. For this to

become areality, and not just a castle in the sky dream, hard work

is required from both player and official alike. A lack of first class

talent is no excuse for despondency. An average team, well organiz­

ed, is as good as a team of individualy good players, without

organization.

I.C. 9 pts.

ON A FINE day at Blenheim

Park the I.C. lst. X V defeated a

fit, well drilled Sandhurst side by

three tries to one. The early stages

of the play went to I.C., mainly

due to the domination of the

College pack. Sandhurst opened

the scoring, completely against

the run of play, when their

centres seized on a mistake by

their opposite numbers. This

spurred I.C. to greater afforts and

a brilliant movement, followed

by a quick heel saw Mills send­

ing Riley in at the corner—

Molan failed to convert.
