Shooting

hill" work we are now "full grown" and have won our place in the sport of the School.

We held a match with the Durham University team and after some very clean fencing by Newdick, Amos, and Wyman, Newdick wrenched the victory from our opponents by winning the final point of the final bout.

S. H. Amos, D. E. Warren and F. N. Newdick are to be congratulated on the award of their Fencing Colours.

This term there has been considerable interest in Shooting, both by juniors and seniors alike. One day a week has been devoted to the seeking out of the young talent of the School, and the efforts have not been in vain. Recruit classification was started in the latter half of the term in order to ease next term's heavy burden.
