THE SHIRBURNIAN
No. 2. JUNE, 1935. Vo!. XXXVIII.
COMMEMORATION is not, striCtly speaking, an OldShirburnian festival-though Old Shirburnians are always
welcome-but we are taking this opportunity of making asuggestion which applies to the past as well as the presentShirburnian, because this maga~ine is more likely to fall into thehands of old boys now than at the end of term. This surelyought not to be so, but the faCt remains that only two hundredand thirteen Old Shirburnians are regular subscribers to thismaga~ine: therefore the only opportunity of bringing this faCtto the notice of O.SS. is to state it in a number whose issuecoincides with the visit here of a certain numbe~of old boys, whomay happen to pick up a copy.
Th~ Shirburnian it is true may in some respeCts have smallappeal to O.SS.; for at most it is only six years before the name of
THE SHIRBURNIAN
every boy from the Head of the School to the newest arrival isunfamiliar to him. But nowadays there is not the same excuse,for a special sedion is included with news of Old Shirburnians.This sedion is rapidly being expanded, and if Old Boys wereinterested enough to write of themselves or of gatherings ofOld Boys abroad it could be still further enlarged; whilst there isalways room in our correspondence columns for letters from O.SS.
It is in most cases merely la~iness and nothing else whichprevents the Old Shirburnian from being a regular subscriber.6/6 a year is not going to ruin anybody and it is a pity people donot realise that to ensure getting their Shirburnian regularly, andto rid themselves of the necessity of mailing 6/6 every now andagain, all they have to do is to sign a banker's order and send itto the Editors. Perhaps, too, if people on leaving school didautomatically fill in their banker's order it would mean adiminution of the depressingly large, and increasing, number ofO.SS. of whom nothing is known.
We have here a little piece of history which may be of interestto some, and it will act as proof that we are only too pleased tocater for the Old Shirburnian when given the chance.
FROM SIEGE TO SCHOOL.
It was revealed the other day that there are still ten survivorsof one of the most heroic episodes in British history-the defenceof Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny.
The oldest of the little group is Mr. C. G. Palmer, C.I.E., whowas born in 1847, and is the only living holder of the MutinyMedal with the clasp for the" Defence of Lucknow." He earnedthe medal and clasp by ading as ammunition-boy to his brotherin-law, Captain Ralph Ouse1ey, who served one of the guns.
And then, when it was all over, he was sent home to England-to school. When he entered Sherborne, in 1858, he was eleven,
THE SHIRBURNiAN
and in the ordinary way would have been just another "new boy."But never before had a youngster started his career at a PublicSchool with an experience like Mr. Palmer's behind him, and hiscase probably remains unique.
All copy for the July Shirburnian must be in by July 9th.

94 THE SHlRBURNIAN
OBITUARY,
WILLIAM DOUGLAS SPENCER MOSSMAN, who was killed in a motoraccident on May 8th, came to Sherborne (School House) in January,1927, and left in December, 1931.
Shy, reserved, and at first diffident to a fault, he possessed fargreater depth and strength of character than was apparent to thosewho were not privileged to know him well.
A good athlete, he was in the School XV of 1931, and later,developing greater strength and speed, he played for Sandhurstwhere he was a Prize cadet-and for Somerset, and was chosen toplay for the Army.
But it is not as an athlete that he will be chiefly remembered.Sensitive, kind, generous-hearted, his whole life was marked by anidealism and a quiet unassuming courage, and though death has cutshort a life and career so full of promise, it cannot efface theunconscious influence he exerted here as a boy, nor mar a memorywhich to many will ever be an inspiration and a source of thankfulness.
P.E.H.P-J.
\Ve regret also to announce the death of WILLIAM DAVIDTYLDESLEY-JONES (a, 1923-28), who died at his home, 11, WetherbyGardens, S,W'5, on April 2nd.
THE SHIRBURNIAN
SCHOOL SOCIETIES.THE WILDMAN SOCIETY.
95
The Invitation Debate was held in the Big Schoolroom onMarch 23rd, at 6.45 p.m.
After the minutes had been read and signed, the Presidentwelcomed the visiting Speakers-Mr. H. Elder and Mr. H. S. Gervis-in a few well-chosen words.
The motion before the House was" that the future safety of theworld lies in Internationalism."
The Proposer, MR. A. S. WHITE (b), tried to prove his case fromhistory; the nation state, evolved several centuries ago, had cometo grief in 1914; nationalism provoked two kinds of war-politicaland economic. There was too mnch of this competition today:Nationalism meant that money was being poured into the coffers ofMessrs. Vickers.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT (a) condemned the ulcerous doctrine of the"White Paper": in internationalism he saw the disappearance ofcompetition, and the removal of nationalism guarantees the permanence of peace, for where there was nationality there would benationalism: natural law had divided the world into certain welldefined regions, and to alter these would be paramount to stoppingthe sun in its course.
The third Speaker, MR. H. S. GERVIS, thought that there was noneed for him to make a speech at all: the true developement of manneeded economic security for its furtherance; that could only bebrought about by means of internationalism. Some might think thatwas impossible, but the alternative, a world of armed camps, was sucha hopeless outlook that one almost hoped for a war that would not bean adventure, but would mean the end of the human race.
The fourth speaker, MR. H. ELDER, was greatly moved by theeloquence of the last speaker: some measure of co-operation was
96 THE SHIRBURN1AN
obviously essential, but the abolition of nationalist states, which was
what Internationalism meant, was impossible; he showed thatnationalism bred sympathy and a patriotism that enriched the world:Internationalism debarred man of that privacy which was theessential part of his inheritance.
On the motion being thrown open to the House, there spoke :MR. M. J. COLBOURNE (a), THE HEADMASTER, MR. L. A. NATHAN (d),MR. R. W. HARRIS (11), MR. M. C. H. DODGSON (b), MR. C. BESLY (a),MR. J. F. N. HODGKINSON (b), MR. E. W. DEANE (a), MR. C. W. A.MURRAY (b), and THE DEBATE SECRETARY (d).
In summing up, the Hon. Opposer exhorted the House rather tobear those ills they had than fly to others that they knew not of:the Hon. Proposer condemned human nature, the morals andthe economics of the fourth speaker, a member of his own House,Messrs. Vickers and the Public Schools.
There voted for the motion 23, against 31: the motion was therefore lost by 8 votee. The President made a few remarks in thepious hope that the Society would continue to flourish after hehimself had left it.
The House then adjourned.

"JOLI BON!"Ott
" LE VOYAGE DES VINGT-DEUX."
97
" ] oli bon 1"-This vile phrase, fondly imagined by one memberof the party to be the French equivalent of "Pretty Good," becamein time a kind of war-cry with which weary tourists encouraged themselves and each other to greater efforts of sight-seeing. And when atlon~ last the frail vessel that bore us home to England was flung bythe violence of the waves into Dover Harbour, we felt that, in spiteof its grammatical atrocity, the phrase adequately expressed what wethought about the tour,-ten pretty good days.
On Saturday morning, April 6th, twenty-two persons, obviouslyequipped for foreign travel, assembled at Victoria with a fair retinueof sorrowing relations to see them depart. The train which took usto Dover had cushioned seats: it was not till we returned to Englandthat we sat on their like again. On its way across the Channel theOstend boat rolled a little; but the waves and winds were not unkindly, reserving their venom for our second voyage. The firstsight of the coast of Belgium was interesting, for the houses on thesea-front seemed to stand up like cliffs owing to the extreme flatnessof the country behind them. Indeed, as we saw from the trainbetween Ostend and Ypres, flatness and lack of hedges are the twomost noticeable things about a Belgian landscape. We arrived in
Ypres that evening, and after dinner walked into the town (strangely
g8 THE SHIRBURNIAN
quiet for a Saturday night) to see what remains of the Cloth Hall,the Cathedral and the Menin Gate.
On the following day Mr. Thompson took us for a tour of theSalient, and as he knew both the ground and its history, proved anadmirable guide. We jolted out over the abominable pave in amotor-bus to Kemmel Hill, and from there were able to look overMessines Ridge, Hill 60, and the rest of the Salient. So well hasthe country recovered from the ravages of war that it is difficult tobelieve that lines of trenches cut the ground which is now trimlycultivated, and that hardly a house or tree could be seen then. Butthere are some things left for a lasting memorial of those years.Hill 60 is one of them. Like many other places it has its particularmonument of stone, but more impressive are the tunnelled dug-outs,still wonderfully preserved, in which men normally civilized livedlike rats in holes. From there we went to Maple Avenue, Passchendaele and 51. Julien, stopping on the way at Tyne-Cot, the largestof the British War Cemeteries. Its thousands of head-stones standround a ruined block-house which is now a monument, and on itsgreat walls are carved the names of those to whom the Fortune ofWar denied a known place of burial. These names, too, numbermany thousands. In Tyne-Cot there is a place for pride as well asfor sorrow; but its very silence is eloquent for Peace.
On the next day we reached Brussels in the afternoon, and hadtime to explore the town, tryout our French in cafes, and dodge thetraffic, which of course persisted in coming up the wrong side of thestreet. Here began the plague of bow ties which rapidly infectedthe senior members of the party, disfiguring them with a variety ofcolours and spots. We found Brussels interesting but noisy.
On the gth we left for Cologne, and with our entry into Germanythe troubles of Mr. Holmes began. The German railway officialshad refused to send any tickets out of the country, and in spite ofthe instructions of our publicity agents our arrival seemed to beunexpected. Perhaps also we were unfortunate in the ticket-collectors
THE SHIRBURNiAN 99
whom we met. Most of them appeared suspicious; all had the airof men weighed down with secret sorrow. However, fluent Germanand a persuasive manner prevailed. Mr. Holmes got us intoGermany, and later achieved the more remarkable feat of getting usout again.
In Cologne we rested from travel for three very pleasant days.Cologne is a splendid city, and though the sight of so many uniformswas a little depressing-, we found the people friendly and" more likeourselves than most foreigners "-to quote the words of one sturdypatriot. On the evening of our arrival some of us were entertainedby the local branch of the "All-Peoples' Association," whichhappened to meet at our hotel. The members of this Society spokeEnglish with amazing fluency, obviously enjoyed a speech made byMr. Thompson, plied us with questions on every conceivable subject,and succeeded in making most of us not a little ashamed of our ownignorance. During this rather one-sided "conversazione" Mr.Holmes and a few chosen linguists were at the Theatre seeingSchiller's "Don CarIos." On the second evening the more frivolouswent out in search of Continental night-life, and are reported to havedanced, though we are afraid that their partners must have foundthem rather dumb. Our last day in Cologne was strenuous,including an exhaustive tour of a Newspaper office and a visit to theOpera for" Das Rheingold." The Newspaper paid us the dubiouscompliment of publishing a group photograph of the party. In theintervals of sight-seeing and shepherding the more errant membersof the flock, the Masters interviewed Travel Agents and Bankers,and wrought heavily in ledgers with twenty-two separate accountsand unfamiliar currencies; strangely enough they usually succeededin balancing the daily budg"et.
On the 13th we left Cologne, travelled by charabanc to Coblenzand thence to Boppard, where we joined a Rhine steamer. Thatday began with rain but ended in sunshine, and the sail palit thecastles of the Rhine was perhaps the best part of the whole tour.
:::00 THE SHIRBURNIAN
We reached Wiesbaden at night-fall and slept at a most splendidand luxurious hotel. Indeed, so soft were the beds that some peoplehad to be forcibly removed from them the next morning, when wehad to start early. At Mainz there was more bother with the railwayofficials, but again Mr. Holmes pulled us through to catch the Paristrain with about a minute to spare. We broke the journey atSaarbrucken, and one incident there is worth recording in view ofthe fact that British Troops were recently acting as part of theInternational Force in that town. Some of us attempted to crossthe street at a place not reserved for pedestrians. A policemanstopped us, but after inspecting us more closely he remarked with asmile, "Ah, you are English," and waved us indulgently on our way.
The rest of the journey was through attractive c01lntry, but lastedlonger than was pleasant, for the carriage seats were very wooden.However, we arrived in Paris at last and were not too tired to walkout after dinner into the Champs-Elysees for a glimpse of the cityby night. Sight-seeing again occupied the next day, and not eventhe most horn-rimmed American could have done more than thosebrave souls who found time for Napoleon's Tomb, Notre Dame, theLouvre and the very top of the Eiffel Tower.
We had arranged to spend the last whole day abroad in the quiettown of Rheims, and went there from Paris on the 15th. Rheims isstill scarred from the War, and the Cathedral, though partiallyrebuilt, is to some extent a ruin. We had heard that we were in theheart of the Champa!!ne country, and were directed to the famousPommery cellars, where twelve million bottles are stored away deepdown in old Roman chalk pits. But it proved to be a long, hot anddusty walk, which only two of the party accomplished. These had
their reward.In order to catch the early boat at Calais the next day we had to
rise at the grisly hour of 4.30 a m. Several people failed to do this,but were dragged semi-conscious across the square to the station andsafely stowed in the train. Then a Boulogne there was a frenzied
'tHE SiIIRBURmAN ioi
rush by taxi across the town for the Calais express. Finally theChannel, as already mentioned, did its worst. It is said that someenjoyed the passage; others soon became indifferent to the fate ofthe ship. But Dover was safely reached at last, and we weredelighted to find Lieut. Green there to welcome us home, in khaki,but not in a brown shirt. So again to the comfort of English thirdclass carriages, and a quick run home to Victoria.
Perhaps the most satisfactory part of the Tour was the cheerfulunity of the whole party. The more earnest students must havegreatly increased their knowledge of modern languages; the otherscould hardly have failed to learn something. Pleasure and instructionwere nicely blended. The Masters, too, seemed to enjoy themselves,in spite of the cares of responsibility. Mr. Thompson seldom failed toprocure his daily copy of The Times, though often at prices whichmade Mr. Elder wince. The latter did much sorrowful mathematics,and used his execrable French chiefly for abuse. Mr. Holmes wasinvariably cheerful and competent, ready to deal with every difficultyin any language. All who accompanied him on the Tour should bevery grateful, for he planned it, made all the arrangements, and ledthe party with entire success.
VISIT TO BATCOMBE.
Although there are many who have visited the Temple GairdnerHostel at Lenthay, there are probably few who have been to theheadquarters ot the St. Francis' Brotherhood at Batcombe. It ishere that the movement was founded by Brother Gilei and BrotherDouglas in 1919. After two years Brother Douglas was forced tocarry on the mission alone and it has been largely due to his influence,personality and perseverance that there are now nine such homes indifferent parts of England and Wales. Their object is to help young
102 THE SHIRBURNIAN
wayfarers to recover their character and their confidence in God andman, and to try and find them work.
Two members of the School spent a night there last term.As soon as we arrived we were both very struck by the wonderfulfriendliness and kindness of everybody. There were twenty-threewayfarers, most of whom had come from the Industrial centres of thenorth and the midlands. Their past careers varied greatly; somehad never been able to find work, some had just lost their jobs owingto the closing down of factories and coal mines, while four of themhad only just come out of prison. There were also seven religiousbrothers, who, besides helping the wayfarers, were training for ordination. They live very simply, for their chief food is bread and jam,and bread and cheese, of which they can have as much as they like.There are very seldom any complaints, which is chiefly due to thefact that they are all Christian Communists.
The home itself is delightfully situated, for it is right in theheart ofthe country, with a magnificent view. It rents twenty acresof land for market gardening, and on this all the wayfarers do theirwork. The produce is sold weekly at Dorchester market. In thegrounds there are five buildings: these are Juniper House, where allthe wayfarers sleep; Clare House, where all the religious brotherssleep; the main House, in which are the chapel, dining room andrecreation room, whilst besides these there are also a printing pressand a jam factory.
It was a most enjoyable and interesting week-end, and we hopethat other members of the School will also visit it in the near future.
THE DIVERSITIES OF MR. JOHN P. PINTABEER.
As Mrs. MacWhurtle hurried down the drainpipe, with therhubarb tied to each ear, she ruminated on the vast destruction
THE SHIRBURNIAN 1°3
wrought by the lesser Eiloeater. Reaching the end, she slid briiklyinto the water butt, using the rhubarb as a propellor.
As you may have gathered, she was on a visit to her threedaughters, for, being a conscientious woman, she believed in givingEaster gifts. The three daughters were employed in a chimney-potfactory, where they made stripes for Belisha beacons. They receivedher with looks of acute appendicitis, and the first thing she was struckby was a rolling-pin, a most unprecedented occurrence, for it washer usual habit to eat spinach.
Tea was a joyful repast, with the rhubarb lightly grilled increosote and whale-blubber; unfortunately there was a flea in theointment which was used for garnish, but some snuff was as good asa feast. The birds, however, hatched too soon, and spoilt theporridge.
The swim home was anything but peaceful, for the possum'scollar was much too loose, and, as Mrs. McWhurtle liked the milkoff the thistle trees, she decided that perhaps coal smelt better.
By now the bath was full, so Mr. Pintabeer went round to thechemist's to buy some nasturtiums.

1°5
SCHOOL (I) V. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY WANDERERS (u).
Played on Young's on Tuesday, March 19th.Hutton was still away, Harris ma. came in for Lilley, and Donne
and Finlay changed places. From the start the Wanderers pressedrepeatedly, but play was rather scrappy. For the School the- firsthalf was disastrous. After ten minutes von Goldstein opened thescoring, and for the rest of the half the School were run off their legs.The marking was poor and the attempts at tackling seldom gotbeyond attempts. The Wanderers gave a delightful exhibition ofHockey, their speed, stickwork and teamwork being first-c1ass~ Onone of the few occasions that the School forwards got the ball theytook it up the field in splendid style, Harris finishing the movementwith a splendid shot. At half-time the score was 1-7, von Goldsteinand Marsh each having scored three, and Somerville one.
In the second half the School played up splendidly. The markingwas very good and the game became much more even. For a longtime there was no further score, but two movements by the left wingenabled von Goldstein to score two more goals, and two brilliantindividual runs by Somerville, who had moved to inside-right,brought the total up to eleven.
In a fine side perhaps the outstanding players were Wakeling,Layton and Somerville, while for the School Eldridge, Russell,
106 THE SHIRBURNIAN
Connor and Harris did well. Murray in goal gave a fine display, inspite of the big score against him. The game was of great instructional value to the large number of boys who watched it. We aregrateful to Mr. A. J. M. Bacon for coming over from Bridport onceagain to umpire.

SCHOOL (3) v. PEMBROKE COLLEGE, OXFOIW (0).
Played on Young's on Saturday, March 23rd.Robinson, Hutton and Donne were all unavailable for this match.
It was soon clear that the opposition were not so strong as previousvisitors had been, for the School pressed hard from the start andcontinued to do so for most of the game. After eighteen minutes'play Russell got away and ended a clever individual effort with agood shot. After further good play by Russell, Llewelyn scored asecond goal. Pembroke tried hard to score and were often dangerous,but the forwards did not combine well near the circle.
In the second half the School continued to have most of the game,only clumsiness, a careless disregard of the offside rule,.and a smartgoalkeeper preventing an increase of goals. However, eventually,from one of many left wing movements Eldridge, who was backingup weB, got possession and sent in an unstoppable shot.
It was not such a good game as the others, though the mid-fieldplay was interesting. Neither side had the necessary skill norsoundness of combination to drive home movements which wereweB directed till they reached the opposing "twenty-five." The
THE SHIKBURNIAN 107
Pembroke goalkeeper was excellent, while the centre-half and theinside forwards were hard workers. The School backs and halveswere all good, but the forwards, apart from Russell quite failed tomake the most of opportunities which came with extraordinaryfrequency. Murray had only one shot to stop.

SENIORS FINAL.
Played on April 2nd. The weather was cold and the grounddry. In the first half Ross', playing down the slope, pressed nearlyall the time and scored three goals. The first two, by Tasker ma,and Amoore, showed a readiness to take chances, but were chieflydue to mistakes in the defence. The third was scored by Tasker ma.after a clever piece of stick-work by Amoore. In the second halfRoss' still had rather the better of things but there was no further
score.

The play did not reach the standard sometimes seen in House'matches; Barlow's were unluckily still tired from the effects of a,gruelling replay against Parry-Jones' the day before, when their teamwork had been excellent. Ross' were not a well-balanced team, butthere were no obvious weaknesses, and their long delayed. successwas well deserved. Amoore and Connor were the mainstays of.theside in attack and defence respectively. Of the younger players,Collins and Rowlette showed promising form.
Thanks are due to Mr. Thompson and Mr. Holmes for acting asreferees.

This is the first School boxing match for thirteen years, the lastone being against Downside in 1922; it will be some years beforewe get into the swing of such matches again, but as a start I am notat all disappointed with the result.
I should like to take this opportunity of thanking R. A.Ward, 0.5.,for so kindly coming down for a week before the match and helpingthe team to train; his knowledge was of great value, and he was inno small measure responsible for the satisfactory show put up by theboxing team. I think the team took their training seriously, and Iwas glad to see that each member of it was much filter for his fightthan at the time of the School competition.
Our three winners were Tyson, Devitt and Green; they eachboxed well, though Tyson was swinging rather badly with his right.Among the losers Irvine shows promise as a boxer and should dowell next year; had both Rawlins and Crawfurd been a little quickerand ready to take their opportunities, both might have won theirfights, but Crawfurd took a lot of punishment in his last round andprobably did not realise the lead he had obtained earlier in the fight.Robinson had the bad luck to hurt his arm in the second round andthe fight was stopped, the verdict going to his opponent.

CRICKET.
1ST XI.
SCHOOL V. SOMERSET STRAGGLERS.
After a practice game against an XI got together by Mr. Elderton,the School played their first match against Somerset Stragglers onthe Upper on May 23rd.
The Stragglers went in first and started disastrously, although theSchool bowling and fielding were not of a very high standard. TheAmoores succeeded in getting three wickets between them with only35 runs on the board, but then J. R. Watson and L. P. Marshallimproved the position by adding 70 runs for the fifth wicket, whichfell at 133. The remaining batsmen were not very successful, until alively last wicket partnership added 40 runs and brought the totalto 206.
When the School went in Eldridge and Llewelyn put on 70 forthe first wicket, mainly by some very well run singles. WhenLlewelyn was out for 29, Murray used his feet well and helped tocarry the score to 127 for two. Harris did not remain long, butAmoore (D. M.) carried on the good work, and the School finally wonby five wickets. Eldridge was bowled after scoring a very good.century.
The Stragglers never looked like getting the School out, beinghandicapped by a shortage of bowlers. E. Ross came out with thebest analysis. For the School, Amoore (D. M.) was most successful,but for the most part the bowling was unimpressive.

THE SHIRBURNIAN
SCHOOL V. BLUNDELL'S.
This match was played on the Upper on May 25th, and resultedin a win for Blundell's.
Blundell's batted first on a slow but easy wicket; the first pairput on 62 runs, but after that wickets fell at regular intervals, onlyWilliams and Holmes making anything of a stand. The former,although fortunate in being missed three times, played some goodshots. The School bowling was not very dangerous on the slowwicket, and the fielding might have been better.
We started very badly and had lost six wickets for 38 runs; thenW. M. Amoore and J. C. Finlay did their best to stop the rot. Theyadded 33 runs before Amoore was caught. Finlay continued toshow determination, but the last three failed to stay and we were allout for 100.
The best part of the day's cricket was the Blundell's fielding,which was quite first rate. MacGregor, at mid.off, was very fine,and caught Murray and D. E. B. Harris off full-blooded drives. Inmy opinion BlundeU's owed their victory entirely to their fielding.

SCHOOL V. DORSET RANGERS.
Played on the Upper on June 4th.At first there seemed little prospect of any play, but the rain
cleared off and a start was made after an early lunch, in cold andcheerless conditions. The School won the toss and Eldridge andLlewelyn opened the innings to the bowling of Busk and Harrison.
II6 THE SHIRBURNIAN
The wicket was lifeless and runs came easily, mainly by cleversingles; in just under an hour 72 runs were scored, when Eldridgewas easily stumped for 40. Sherley-Price, obviously short of practice,was out ten runs later, caught by his brother at cover. D. M.Amoore then joined Llewelyn, who had been batting well andhitting the ball hard; 61 runs were quickly added until Llewelynwas bowled by Busk after making 76. Harris and D. M. Amooreput on nearly 40 by hard hitting, but at ISI Harris was out to a welljudged catch in the deep off Harrison. W. M. Amoore joined hisbrother, but was run out after a sing-le had been scored. It was afoolish run to the best fielder on the visiting side and was a clearcase of fratricide. Rain came on at this point; and tea being taken,
the School declared.
The School had batted for about two and a half hours and theRangers were left with just under two hours to get the runs. Thefirst wicket fell at 21 and three were down for 59. At this stage theRangers were behind the clock and Busk joined A. A. E. Morgan,who had been batting steadily. This pair put on 91 very quickly,Busk dealing very faithfully with the short ball, whilst Morgan madeseveral nice shots off his legs. The fourth wicket fell at 150 at 6,30,and the race for runs began. Wickets fell regularly in forcing thepace, and the School hopes rose when Morgan was cleverly caughtby Muriel for a well played 75. The ninth wicket fell at 176, thelast pair being left with seven to get to win. Unaffected by thesituation Hayward hit a four and a two making the scores level anda bye was run off the second ball of the last over of the day, to givethe Rangers victory by one wicket. After such a depressingmorning it was most fortunate that this exciting game could befinished. 365 runs were scored in under five hours play.
The School batting and fielding were good, only one catch beingmissed, though that an easy one. The bowling, however, lackedsteadiness and length, and many runs were given away" by too muchbowling on the leg side.
