O.P. News

Old Peterite News.

C. L. Troop, following a notable debut in the last International frial, was selected as reserve for England in the Calcutta Cup match against Scotland. He has also been playing regularly for the Army and Richmond, and for Hampshire in the County Championship.

S. K. Kooka has appeared with success in the Oxford Boxing team.

J. F. Warin has been playing hockey for Yorkshire, and P. Storrs-Fox for the County Second XI. Both are in the Leeds University team.

N. W. Richardson has played in the Yorkshire Lacrosse team.

J. B. D. Chapman has been maintaining his fine form in the Harlequins' three-quarter line, and one is encouraged by the enthusiastic press notices to think that it will not be long before his play receives official recognition in the shape of an International Trial.

R. G. Bullen's performance in the University Squash Racquets match, which took place too late for inclusion in our last issue, is worthy of special notice. He brought off a feat that has never previously been accomplished in the match by beating his Oxford opponent, I. A. H. de Lyle, without the latter scoring a point, winning the set in two hands. This feat is very rarely accomplished in first-class squash, and Bullen's fine performance was all the more notable as de Lyle is an extremely useful player, and represents the University at racquets in addition.

A bust of the late Bishop George Forrest Browne, O.P., executed by Lady Hylton-Young, was unveiled in Bristol Cathedral last November.
