TEMPLE HOUSE NOTES.
We take this opportunity of welcoming Mr. Sykes as joint housemaster with Mr. Smith. Mr. Sykes joined us in the Christmas term, and since then he has been doing a lot of work in connection with the House.
With our change in name, from Dayboys to Temple House, has come a change in fortunes. We have won, by an overwhelming margin, the Inter-House Cross Country Plate, gaining the first five places. Cole is to be congratulated on winning it. We understand he had been training himself for it since Christmas ! In the Mile also five Templars were the first in. Brockbank won this in 5 mins. 11 4 /5 secs., rather faster than last year's time. For the first time in the history of the House we have a share in the Blair Cup for Boxing. We and the School House each gained five points, with Clifton Rise only one point behind.
In the Boat Race, however, our luck failed. The School House 1st IV, the eventual winners, drawing the railway side of the river, were carried through Scarborough Bridge at an amazing rate, and won by one and a half lengths. We lost the Hockey to the winners of the final, the School House, the score being 1-0. Our defence was generally quite good.
A. T. H. Wright, M. S. Hall, E. R. Gossop and H. P. Cole were regular members of the School Hockey XI, J. T. Brockbank finding his position in the last two matches of the season.
A. T. H. Wright, M. S. Hall and E. R. Gossop are to be congratulated on being awarded their School Hockey colours.
We congratulate the following new House colours :J. A. Ware, L. Telfor, E. P. S. Bulmer and F. F. Steele.
