The lowest ebb of shooting this term was the arrival of the "Country Life" results, which were about the worst ever, but that was no presage for the term's open range shooting, which has been unusually good. We must hasten to add that this standard has not resulted in the winning of lots of awards—in fact only two cups were won—abut it did enable us to improve upon our position in a time of generally rising standards.

There seems to be a barrier at a score of around 500 under "Ashburton" conditions, with individual scores of about 63-31s and 32s being regarded as standard. To do well in competitions under these conditions it is necessary to break through this barrier and for team members to think rather in terms of 32 and 33, and totals of 65. This we have been able to do this year, reaching scores of up to 519 in practice. It is greatly to be hoped that this outlook and standard will be maintained in future : indeed it is essential if we are to be in the running for a major award some day.

Main competitions and results have been Yorkshire XX Spring Meeting:

Cadet Cup, 243, 2nd.

County of Lancaster Rifle Meeting, Altcar, 30th May:

C.L.R.A. Cup ("Ashburton"), 510, 2nd.

Lionel Fletcher ("Marling"), 345, Won.

Centenary Cup (Aggregate), 2nd. East and West Riding District C.C.F. Cup, Strensall: Won.

N.R.A. Meeting, BISLEY, 21-22nd July:

Ashburton, 511, 11th (12th if Royal Canadian cadets are included).

Marling, 335, 6th.

Spencer Mellish (indivdual: D. B. Mallinson), 12th.

We were also well placed in some of the competitions concurrent with the Ashburton:—

Rutland (Aggregate), 11th.

Country Life (500 yard shoot), 5th.

Cottesloe (schools with under 238 in C.C.F.), 2nd. The First VIII consisted of : D. B. Mallinson (Capt.), G. F. Eastaugh (Vice-Capt.), J. F. Brown, H. J. R. Hyde, D. J. McKenzie, P. R.

FENCING

SUMI1ER, 1964

This was another very successful term for us, and several notable victories were gained.

On Saturday, 2nd May, we sent a team up to Newcastle for the Durham Tournament. The School had four people in the final pool and were placed thus: J. Pawson, 2nd; R. W. Oliver, 3rd; C. A. Wood, 5th; P. M. Darley, 6th, and won the team trophy.

On Saturday, 30th May, we sent a team to the National Schoolboys' section finals. J. Pawson reached the semi-finals.

On the 13th and 14th June we had a large entry for the York Open Tournament. In the electric foil competition C. A. Wood was 3rd and J. Pawson 6th. The team won the foil team event. R. W. Oliver won the open Epee competition.

The last event of the term was the Wakefield Schoolboys competition, on the 4th July. J. Pawson was 2nd in the Senior event and in the Junior event we swept the board with C. A. Wood 1st, J. A. S. Berm 2nd, C. R. Jones 3rd, G. L. Pettinger 4th and J. Mackinder 5th. R.W.O.

TENNIS

With four of last year's •team available the main task at the beginning of the term was to sort out •the pairings and find a third pair. Several boys were tried but they all had had very little match experience and it was five matches before any third pair won a game. The lack of experienced players in the third and fourth years, with the loss of four of this year's team means that next year there will be a lot to be done in finding a team, but there is plenty of interest and ability in the first and second years.

The two pairs of Clarke and Hoare and Russell and Todd were evenly matched. The third pair, Hudson and Pawson, improved greatly during the term but this was the first year in which either of them had played any serious tennis and their lack of experience and consistency was evident against our opponents, who play tennis full-time. Several young players were given match experience in either 'A' VI or 2nd VI games and the Under XVI and Under XV games. Teams: 1st VI 1st pair C. J. L. Clarke (Captain) and C. J. Hoare. 2nd pair J. H. Russell and G. M. Todd. 3rd pair W. M. Hudson and J. Pawson. znd VI from I. B. Robertson (Captain), J. R. Farmer, R. Pickersgill, R. A. Peacock, J. R. W. Thirlwell, J. R. Wood, M. A. Groundwater, P. R. H. Blackford and R. A. Spilman.

The last four above were the Under XVI team and M. T. Bennett J. G. Hoad, E. M. Holgate and G. A. W. Stewart comprised the Under XV team. 52

SWIMMING

The School baths were opened in a heat wave, which proved to be a temporary affair; and the School team continued training through the rigours of our "normal" English summer—with the preparations for the new indoor bath just beginning.

Both the School swimming matches against Bootham and Welbech College were lost, but in both there were some creditable performances; particularly the breaking of two 'School records by H. J. R. Hyde (4 lengths breast stroke) and I. B. Robertson (2 lengths free style) at Bootham. Both boys bettered these in the School swimming sports.

The Royal Life Saving Society have just introduced a much more realistic series of exams. The School seem to be the first in York to tackle these, and the visiting examiners were very careful •to cover all aspects of the work meticulously. After several weeks' training 36 awards were

gained at the end of term. The lead now being given by more senior boys in training and encouraging the juniors is to be highly commended.

Details of the awards:— Instructor's Certificate-3. Award of Merit-3. Bar to Award of Merit-2. Bronze Cross-7. Bronze Medallion-21.

OLD PETERITE CLUB

The Old Peterite Club's 73rd Annual General Meeting was held at the School, on Saturday, 25th July. The President, J. A. Hanson, was in the Chair. The Head Master was present and there was an attendance of 48 members.

The Hon. Treasurer (John Saville) presented the audited accounts for the year ended 31st December, 1963, which showed the accumulated fund for the running expenses of £78 7s. Od, and that during the year 76 new members had joined.

As J. A. Hanson's three-year term of office as President of the Club had expired, T. J. Lewis was unanimously elected to succeed him. The best thanks of the Club were extended to J. A. Hanson for his energetic and devoted service to the Club during his term of office.

The gratitude of the Club was also extended to T. J. Lewis, for having carried out so admirably the duties of Hon. Secretary for the past eight years. It was decided that David Kirby should be appointed the new Hon. Secretary of the Club.

The meeting received with regret the resignation of John Saville from the office of Hon. Treasurer and it was resolved that the thanks of the Club should be conveyed to him for the zealous and efficient manner in which he had performed his duties for so many years. It was decided that T. H. Burdon should be appointed Hon. Treasurer of the Club and a Trustee.

E. A. K. Denison, J. C. Houghton, F. N. Newdick, F. W. B. Pacey, D. T. Rumfitt and R. A. Stratton were elected to serve on the Committee for a term of three years.

N. J. Magson and J. Saville were elected to serve on the Committee for a period of two years, vice T. H. Burdon and D. Kirby (both exofficio members of the Committee).

It was resolved that the Immediate Past President (J. A. Hanson) should be nominated to serve on the Board of Governors for a term of three years as the Club's ex-officio representative.

The Head Master reported that contributions to the School Development Fund had reached the sum of £85,030 and that the fund would be closed at the end of October with the opening of Dronfield House.

It was felt that the time available for play on the second day of the annual Commemoration Cricket match was too short and it was agreed that in future the match should start at 1-30 p.m. on that day.

THE 1964 ENTRY FROM THE OLD PETERITE CLUB FOR THE COUNTY VIII's CHAMPIONSHIPS

The idea of getting a crew of Old Peterites together in the County Rowing Championships was made in Easter, and the VIII finally made its entry to the Northumberland County A.R.A. in June.

Mr. Bolton kindly agreed to undertake the coaching, and on the 5th September, the crew assembled in the amenable surroundings of the Punchbowl, Stonegate, to work out a programme of outings and training. Training began that very afternoon with outings in IV's, and then on the Monday began the outings in the VIII. We agreed on two outings a day for five days a week, with longer, harder outings on Saturdays and Sundays.

The first week was spent in covering the finishes and reaching a degree of uniformity on the beginnings which would allow the crew to poise out sufficiently to hit the water really hard, together. The final crew order did not go out until the 16th September, ten days before the event, but in the vital first week, N. J. Smith, of Dronfield House, served the crew very well, filling in for absentees. Often rowing on different sides in alternate outings, he was a great help to the VIII, sending down big, compact puddles every stroke, and we would like to thank him very much, and to wish him well in his last year's rowing at School.

At the beginning of the second week a pacing VIII went out with the crew, and this immediately produced the spark in the water that had been lacking, and by the end of the week the crew felt their rowing sufficiently improved to go for the course records. On Thursday morning the Diving Boards record was lowered to 1 min. 471 secs, and that evening, during a full course, that time was again lowered to 1 min. 45 secs. The full course, Wall-End to Lendal, done in 3 min. 51 secs., was a record row as well.

The next Friday the crew went up to Durham, to stay in Durham Castle, and on 'Saturday morning were out on the Tyne in an VIII borrowed from King's College, Newcastle. The Tyne water proved itself much lighter than the heavier Ouse water, not to mention a good deal rougher! That afternoon the crew went out with Northumberland II, and over a four furlong course, the O.P. VIII took nearly three lengths off the home crew, even letting the rate down to a paddle hard.

On Sunday morning the crew were out with County Durham, on the Wear, in Durham. County Durham were an appreciably faster outfit than Northumberland, and the crews were matched in their firm, but Co. Durham were faster off the start. In a ten furlong race, however, they were soon well astern, and the O.P. VIII ran out winners by 20 secs.

The last five days before the event were spent in consolidating what the crew had achieved, and the lessening of the pressure towards the end of the week brought the crew to the Tyne feeling in good shape and well prepared.

The Championship was a tightly fought contest between Lancashire and Cheshire, with Lancashire taking the title with nine wins to Cheshire's eight. These two crews were in a class of their own. The O.P. crew were the third fastest crew in the event, but threw away two races by rowing well below their form, and as a result scored only six wins instead of seven. In the first race Lancashire were quickly a length up, but there 59

was a tremendous battle for second place between the O.P.'s and a crew of Old Boys from Durham School, with Durham finishing a canvas ahead. In their last race, the O.P.'s were second for most of the race, and finished length down to Northumberland, a slower crew, and 3 feet down •to Cumberland.

It was in the second race that the crew raced at its best, and this race was the one against Cheshire. Losing by only a length, this was the closest any VIII got to either Lancashire or Cheshire, and if we had rowed like this in all our races, third place would easily have been ours.

Mr. Bolton had brought the crew . on very well in the last week and it would have been impossible for the VIII to show its face in an event of this standard without the help he gave. To give so much time on the bank before taking over the Manor as Housemaster must have been a great sacrifice, and we are all very grateful to him for this, and for the high quality of his coaching. We only hope he enjoyed the venture as much as did we.

RESULTS. 19th September, in Newcastle, v. Northumberland, 4 F. Won by 3 lengths. 20th September, in Durham, v. County Durham, 10 F. Won by 20 secs.
