The Oxford Cup

In the Inter-House Squash contest we were defeated by School House in a very closely contested match, in Which Garth, Hamby, and Sheriff played exceedingly well in view of their lack of practice.

In short, the term has been an unusually active one, in which Temple has shown signs of improvement in every direction. The fact that four of the first six in the General Knowledge examination were Templars augurs well for our chances of winning the Work Cup this year.

As we write, the sports have not yet been held, but Harper and Ward gained second places in the Senior and Intermediate mile, and so we feel we shall give the other houses a good fight. On this hopeful note we will close, always remembering that although the term is ending, Templars will still be found on the school premises, day and night, throughout the holidays, in the fire-watching room or between the shafts of the rollers. Templars are always on the spot. J. M. B.

At a meeting of Housemasters, held in the Course of the term, the allotment of points for the various games and other activities counted in the award of the Oxford Cup (presented in 1927 by Oxford O.P.'s for Inter-House competition) was revised. The findings of this meeting were subsequently approved by the Headmaster.
