The Junior School

was pushed over the line to score a try. Each side had now scored six points. The school quickly resumed the attack and, after several narrow escapes, the Bradford line was again crossed by Broadhurst after Frost, the fly-half, had made an opening.

The game now swung back into the St. Peter's half of the field, and once more the fine play of the Bradford forwards secured an equalising try. The same tactics were employed—a break-through from a line-out, good backing up, and a touch down near the corner flag. With only a few minutes left, both sides began to struggle hard for a winning try. Play was in mid-field, and the ball going to Denison, the school full back, he tried to open up the game in a lastminute endeavour to attack, only to see his pass intercepted and a Bradford player sailing under the school posts. The try was converted, and the school lost a highly exciting and evenly contested match by 14 points to 9.

SCHOOL v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE. Played on Saturday, November 29th. Result : Won 3-0.

Playing at York, the school team defeated Ampleforth College in a fast and furious game by 3 points to nil.

The deciding factors in the game were the brilliant tackling of Cookson and of the school backs, and the loose play of the forwards. Time and again they broke away from the scrums, and the forward rushes that developed severely harassed the Ampleforth defence. The Ampleforth three-quarters were well served from the set scrums, but the tackling of the school backs nullified this advantage. The only try of the game was scored by Broadhurst who, at centre three-quarter, started many a dangerous movement, and was the mainspring of the school attack. The school team was attacking, when Broadhurst received the ball. He kicked ahead, and followed up fast enough to charge down the attempted clearance of the Ampleforth full back. He picked up the ball and, diving full length, touched down near the goal posts. The try was not converted. Despite the great efforts of the Ampleforth side to equalise, the sure and steady tactics of the York backs and full back kept the school line intact. The end came with the school attacking strongly.

It is unnecessary to mention any member of the school team by name as deserving special notice, since the entire

team was at the top of its form and everyone played to his utmost ability.

Neely and Hunter-Grey strove hard for Ampleforth.

The record of Christmas term, 1941, must be curtailed to a short statement of facts for reasons of the space allowed. Let us say at once that we had a very successful term, the attendance and general health of the boys being very good, and the number on the roll being more than ever before, viz., 128.

Several " merits " for specially good work have again been awarded: W. H. Andrews, P. Speight, R. McDermid and A. R. Wood.

We are very glad that our Gym. Display was carried through very successfully on Wednesday, November 5th, and a large gathering of parents and friends saw the whole

school, with only four boys absent, go through the various graded exercises prepared by Sergeant-Major Puddick. The singing and recitations also showed much care and attention by the boys and were very creditably produced. In fact, the view was expressed that in spite of an interval of two years the boys quite reached the standard of former years.

During the term Mr. Walshaw has kept the Stamp Club going, and interest in stamps is widespread.

The usual crazes have been pursued more or less as usual, with the addition of a more expensive one—model aeroplane building. This craze reached the pitch when it actually became an Aero Club, with definite rules and regulations, and competitive flights were arranged.

The Junior School attended the performance of " Macbeth " on December 12th, and thought it was " marvellously done."

In spite of war-time difficulties the boarders enjoyed their usual Christmas House Party, at which they were entertained and very successfully mystified by a wizard conjurer.

After mark reading by the Headmaster on Monday, December 15th, the end of term was celebrated by the usual Olavite cheers.

ST. OLAVE'S FOOTBALL.

This term we have been running two rugger games and three soccer. The introduction of rugger into the Second Game has helped to absorb our large numbers and should make an excellent training ground for the First Game. We are extremely grateful to T. F. Cameron, an old Peterite full back, P. Morey, a former Olavite, and F. N. Buckler's " squad " of Peterites, all of whom have been of such great assistance to us with games this term.

It will be seen that our match list is short but encouraging. To compensate we held two gruelling rugger games between the Boarders and the Day-boys, in which each side was successful once. These games were played with such vigour that they were quite the most exciting incidents of the term.

A feature of the rugger has been the excellent placekicking of Andrews and Dook, both outstanding for t]ieir age. Tackling is slowly improving, Tate having set an example that others might follow. Colours have been awarded during the term to : D. C. Drummond, J. McD. L. Dook, A. R. McColm, P. J. Arnott and D. J. Oliver.

The following have represented St. Olave's Rugger XV during the term : R. L. Hutchinson (capt.), D. C. Drummond (vice-capt.), P. A. Speight, D. H. Tate, D. Hardisty, A. R. McColm, J. Dook, P. N. H. Moreton, W. H. Andrews, I. S. Macpherson, P. J. Arnott, D. J. Oliver, D. R. Reavley, R. L. D. Davidge, F. N. Newdick, H. L. Dixon. 38

In spite of the stress laid on rugger this term, results of our soccer matches have been most satisfactory. McColm captained the side efficiently, assisted by Andrews. We were the only team to beat this year's Red House XI. H. L. Dixon deserves special mention for the part he played in our success.

The Soccer XI has been represented during the term by: A. R. McColm (capt.), W. H. Andrews (vice-capt.), L. D. Edinger, D. C. Drummond, D. R. Reavley, D. Hardisty, H. L. Dixon, R. L. Hutchinson, F. N. Newdick, P. J. Arnott, I. S. Macpherson, D. J. Oliver, J. Dook.

SCOUTING.

A new school year always means for us the loss of many of our senior Scouts. We found ourselves at the beginning of this term with entirely new patrol leaders. Fortunately we have been lucky. The most recently-elected leaders are already proving their worth. The loss of Mr. Cassels early in the term was also keenly felt ; we wish him the very best of luck in the R.A.F.

In at least one branch of troop activity we have made appreciable strides, namely, Morse signalling. We have now purchased our own " tapper " and we are sure this will prove an asset.

In spite of black-out difficulties we have held regular meetings, one of the most popular entailing a surprise raid on the clubroom by a " masked marauder." The Curlews are to be congratulated on having deciphered his cryptic messages and trailed him to his lair.

On the more serious side we have made progress with both Tenderfoot and Second-Class tests. New members are clamouring for entrance, and uniform is still urgently required from anyone who has no further use for it.

We have to thank P/L Dixon for the work he has put into the clubroom, assisted by P/L Hutchinson and Tate. P/L Moreton's illness was a blow to the Woodpigeons, and we all hope to see him fit and well again next term.

ST. OLAVE'S CUBS.

The term started with the loss of several older Cubs who went up to the Scouts, and to whom we wish the best of luck in the Troop. However, we also gained many new Tenderpads, who, after three weeks' intensive learning, were initiated and became full Wolf Cubs, and we hope they will enjoy themselves with us. They are to be congratulated on their smart uniforms when so little is obtainable.

At the beginning there was, of course, a good deal of sorting out to be done and the new Sixers were very helpful: Harrison (J.), took Fawcett's place as Pack Leader and Sixer of the Green Six ; Harrison (R.) became Sixer of the Yellow Six, Hopkins of the Red Six, and Rowntree of the Blue Six. Pack activities were soon in full swing, and it is hoped that several first stars will be gained next term from the work done. The Six Competition ended with an Observa- tion Walk, which was very exciting and interesting. The final marks in the Competition were as follows :- 1. Red ... 159 2. Green ... 149 3. Yellow ... 132 4. Blue ... 121
