The Oxford Cup, 1948-1949

some extent, however, when our very good 2nd IV beat The Grove in the semi-final of the Junior Boating, and went on to win the cup from School House in the final.

Good packing enabled us to fulfill our aim of second place in the Cross Country and gained a valuable 5 points for the Oxford Cup.

An effort has been made to improve the standard of Squash Racquets in the House, and whilst we lost 3-0 'to The Grove in the inter-house competition this term, we hope that renewed enthusiasm for the game will bear fruit in the near future.

During the term we ran a Junior and Senior Handicap Table Tennis Competition, won again by last term's winners, D. J. Bird and Brook, and also a novel "Secret Handicap" Competition, whose fortuitous nature proved 'to 'be of little concern to Brook, who once more emerged victor.

Ryder, Brook, Hearfield, and Parker are leaving us this term. Appreciating what they have done for the House, we wish them the best of luck in their future careers.
