SCHOOL LETTER. Football is now the subject uppermost in everyone ' s mind ; nor have the school any reason to be ashamed of their representatives . So far the team have won eight matches out of eleven ; this including two victories over our old opponents, Durham, a feat which has never before been accomplished . A very creditable victory over Almondbury Old Boys is also worthy of notice ; as well as the close game with Giggleswick, in which the school, though minus three of the team, were only beaten by a try . The worst beating which the team has sustained was at the hands of the Old Boys, by zo points to nil, but the weather was all in favour of the O .Ps . in the second match, which is to be played on the zznd of this month, we hope to make a better show . In club matches the team has had the invaluable help of Mr. Lord. So far there have been no broken bones, though Joicey has had very hard luck in having been stopped playing for the time by water on the knee . Mr . Robertson also was rendered hors de combat for some time by a sprained knee . Mr . Veld is now directing his energies to the Theatricals, and there seems no reason why his efforts should not be attended with as great success as on former occasions . There are several of last year' s actors still left, who form a nucleus for a good cast . The play is to be " The Two Gentlemen of Verona, " which was last put upon the school stage in 1882 . The additions lately made to the library, under the kind superintendence of Mr . Preston, are noticed elsewhere We are glad to see the revival of Oxford and Cambridge Letters in this number .
