matches the scores were not out of the ordinary, but against Denstone the team made its best score since the present "Country Life" conditions came into force. The score against Worksop was also satisfactory, but not good enough to win the match.
We regretfully say "goodbye" this term to P. C. Knowlson, who has served the 1st VIII faithfully for three years, and who has shot very well this term. We may also lose another excellent shot in the person of H. H. Hunter. This means that our search for talent must continue. We have made some discoveries this term, and from these we hope to fill the vacant places in the 1st VIII and also provide the nucleus of a 2nd VIII, for which there are four matches next term.
We had doubts during the term as to whether our only two serviceable rifles were going to hold out. But they have done so, and furthermore our three other rifles have at last been repaired, which means that the best two rifles can be saved for matches only, while the others are used for practices. 1st VIII Match results :-
St. Peter's 616 — Trent College 496. Won. St. Peter's 622 — St. Edmund's, Canterbury 558. Won. St. Peter's 591 — Leeds Grammar School 571. Won. St. Peter's 639 — Denstone College 577. Won. St. Peter's 620 — Worksop College 628. Lost. St. Peter's 486 — Ampleforth College 634. Lost.
