After the promise of last term and the considerable match play they had, the School 1st V were rather disappointing this term. Alderson produced some brilliant play in the final of the York Championship against A. Heron, the Yorkshire County player, but even he failed against the Barnard Castle No. 1, when a victory should have caused him no difficulty at all. He is, however, a fine player with a great deal of natural ability, who, when he learns that no victory in squash racquets is easily gained, may reach high grade.

Robson, restored to No. 2, after at least improving his dubious temperament, was seldom impressive and there is little doubt that he is not really a No. 2 string. However, despite the ups and downs of the season for him, he has never shown lack of enthusiasm

Parkin at third string looked a totally different player from last term, having lost both his touch and confidence. He has disappointed most of all, for he had shown considerable merit and fighting qualities in his play before Christmas.

Wheeler continued to play with zest and keenness throughout the term and, although the game comes far from naturally to him, he always fought hard.

Shepherd, the only one of this year's side available next year, scarcely fulfilled his promise and never appears to be at grips with the game on the court. After a succession of easily gained wins against weak opposition he had a chance to show his mettle against Rossall and Barnard Castle. He lost on both occasions, to a fourteenyear-old against Barnard Castle !

The limitations of the side were ruthlessly exposed against Barnard Castle and Rossall and much team-building must be done before we can approach these schools on equal terms. There are the players in the junior part of the School to do this in P. F. Nettleton, R. D. Harding and J. A. Eatough, but they must realise the value of hard practice.
