Cambridge Letter

The XV has had a most successful season, under the able coaching of Mr. Stevenson; they have won most of their matches to date, having only lost one School match—that by the odd point in eleven to Durham.

We commend to the notice of our readers a letter in this issue on " Employment," by the Headmaster ; it will be found after Notes and Items.

The Squash team too, has been playing well up to form ; one achievement worthy of particular mention was the beating of Mr. Toyne's team of Internationals, where Yardley confounded the critics by beating MacPherson.

For the rest, it is set forth elsewhere in the columns of this journal.

Dear Sirs,

The Michaelmas Term began with its usual whirlwind of trials in every branch of sport for Seniors and Freshmen.

Of our Seniors W. McC. Scott and W. L. Seaborne have ,distinguished themselves. The former played in the Seniors' Rugger Trial, and the latter was chosen to play for the Cambridge Geographical side against the Oxford Geographical.

Our two freshmen have both done well, J. N. Emery is shooting for the Cambridge freshmen, and V. W. G. Musgrove obtained a Freshmen's Hockey Trial.

Work seems to be a predominant feature in the lives of all, especially of old Peterites. Both W. McC. Scott and H. F. 'Whalley have examinations this term ; we wish them every success. The gods of the weather have been kind to us, and our pleasures have not been marred by too much rain. The Armistice Day :Rag in aid of Earl Haig's fund was its usual success. The total ;amount collected exceeded 2,800. Many valuable moments and pennies were spent on the Caius and Emmanuel Fair. The 'Bull Fight, the death of King Kong and The Fire Brigade were :among the features which demanded pocket depreciation.

We write on the eve of the 'Varsity Rugger match, and, if the men who are injured at present are available for Twickenham, Ithe side will he very strong.
