A few minutes later Graham scored off a through pass from Milburn. The Rise then broke through the House defence and only good saving by Dixon saved a goal being scored against the House.

The Rise were playing a very inexperienced side, and they played remarkably well ; Ping and Cameron were the most outstanding players. Final score: School House 4 goals, Clifton Rise nil.
ROWING. Last term was probably one of the most difficult we have had to contend with on the river for some years. With many complete novices in the 1st division crews, and with outings on four days in the week only, the task of the coaches was not an easy one. Nevertheless, tubbing was soon started under conditions which varied from blizzards to hurricanes, accompanied most of the time by a roaring torrent in the place of our usually peaceful Ouse. The 'flu epidemic was our next setback, but after about three weeks clinkers made their appearance and serious training began. At first it seemed as if the standard of the rowing was not going to be as high as usual, but there turned out to be many " finds," and even if they tended to be light, the crews were quite up to the average by the time of the races. This was a great achievement by the coaches, and they deserve to be congratulated on producing such praiseworthy crews under such adverse conditions. 2nd division rowing also suffered from these hardships, but here again keenness and hard work combined to produce crews which showed considerable promise, and which rowed with great enthusiasm in the actual races. Apart from the ordinary rowing routine there were no outstanding events on the river last term: but from the look of some scratch crews which went out on slides we should have some rather light but effective School crews this term, and we would like to finish by wishing them the very best of luck in the various races and regattas. 1st DIVISION RACES. The draw for the races was as follows, the first-named crew taking the Station side:— School House School House 1 Temple S (21 lengths) } School House Rise J (2 lengths) The semi-final between School House and Temple was rowed on Friday, March 19th, and the final took place on the Saturday. Although the weather itself remained beautifully calm on both days, the river was very flooded, and it was its 39
