Clearly sensing that to achieve a result in this somewhat artificial match, it was necessary to get the Old Boys in to bat a second time for an hour at the end of the first day. Richardson declared the School innings closed 18 runs in arrears, and thereby seemed to have achieved the object in mind, by capturing four cheap Wickets before stumps were drawn at 7-0 p.m. This however transpired to be the limit of the School's success. On the second day the third declaration duly came after a bright knock by Bill Pickersgill, and the School were left with the tantalising task of scoring 172 runs in 128 minutes. A topsy-turvy opening batting order made their task none the easier, and with eight catches offered and accepted by the Old Boys, the entertainment value was spun out until five minutes from time with the Old Boys ending up as deservedly winners by 48 runs.
BOAT CLUB The arrival of the new sectional Shell VIII, together with its trailer and the new mini-bus, has transformed our rowing calendar. We can now row in our own boat in the Schools Head of the River at Putney in March, and we have at last succeeded in entering an VIII for the Princess Elizabeth Cup at Henley. These two events present a huge stimulus to training in each rowing term, and they can now be supported by Junior-Senior VIIIs events at Nottingham, York and Leeds, as well as by inter-school races. This year the greater part of the season was spent in IVs, for unfortunately the new boat was to be ready only towards the end of May. The 1st IV settled straight away and rowed well in the Schools IVs at York and in the Junior-Senior IVs at Tyne. The 2nd IV was slow to settle, but
