SQUASH This has been a term of varied progress. The more Senior players, with notable exceptions, have not distinguished themselves, indeed some of them are quite definitely weaker players than they were last year This is partly and justifiably explained by pressure of work, but regrettably lack of interest and effort are also reasons in some cases. Sadl it was necessary to cancel the only Under-16 Colts match. In view o this apathy, the tremendous enthusiasm of the Under-15 group was al11 the more encouraging. The Under-16 Colts match against York S.R.C. was replaced by an Under-15 fixture—this produced a most enjoyable evening, thanks to the splendid approach to the match of the club players' and the eager response of the boys. The captain, Ian Robinson, has set an excellent example and is to congratulated on his selection for the Yorkshire "A" and 2nd team He and Peter Hall were members of the Yorkshire Under-19 team, whi spent three successful days in the South of England; both won all the matches with considerable ease.
