O.P. NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. O.P. SQUASH. Old Peterites were very prominent in the North of England Championships held at Harrogate on March 21st to 25th: T. D. Ambler and K. J. Jarvis were both knocked out in the first round, but showed promise in extending more experienced players to produce their best form. S. G. S. Pawle reached the semi-final, but was beaten by R. S. Rennie after a close three-game match. ' N. W. D. Yardley had little difficulty in beating Rennie, 9-3, 9-2, 9-1, thus winning the Championship for the sixth time in succession, a record hitherto unparalleled, in spite of his lack of practice, owing to having been with Lord Tennyson's Cricket Team in India. In the Plate Competition for competitors who are knocked out in the first round, T. D. Ambler beat K. J. Jarvis in the final by three games to two. *
