None have so far been felt, nor are any anticipated next term, as sufficient new members of promise have joined the Club. But in the long run the more limited intake to the C.C.F. is bound to narrow our field of recruitment, and it may not be easy to maintain our Standards.
SQUASH Largely speaking this has been a successful term. The new courts, the weather (unfavourable to all but Squash players, it seems) and the marked progress of some of the School's players have all contributed to the success. Although one can look forward to better teams in the next few years, this year's side under the captaincy of P. W. Shepherd, has had more than its share of glory. No St. Peter's team, for instance, has ever done as well as this year's did against Barnard Castle, the foremost Northern Squash-playing school. When one considers that Barnard Castle, after a Southern tour, returned home with wins against Brentwood and Merchant Taylor's and a 3-2 defeat by Tonbridge, reputedly the country's leading school side, losing to Barnard Castle 3-2 is no disgrace. Shepherd, in fact, recorded the best win of his career when he defeated B. Patterson, the Barnard Castle No. 1, a very talented player and a finalist in the Evans Cup. Added to this he twice beat J. E. Fawcett, the York R.I. player. Perhaps his one disappointing performance was at Hymer's College, when he failed to beat C. I. M. Campbell, the Hymer's No. 1. Victory for him (he lost 3-2) would have clinched the match for the School, but he failed to rise to the occasion.

He has entered for the Drysdale Cup and he may do well. K. W. Headlam, the School No. 2, has not had an easy passage, firstly because he is outgraded at 2 and secondly because he has met some very 29
