Chronicle-1965

became sceptical and suggested that we had been building a smokers' den for the Staff. Well, in the end it worked as well as Richards, Schreuder and the gang can manage. Ofcourse someone had to open it and give it a name. What better than the cricketing family ofJack Hulett?In the Book ofEsther wefind a question appro priate for the occasion: "What shall be done unto the man whom we delight to honour?" Well, we saw it done on November 10th. K.G.F. RUGBY Captain: A. W.W.Paterson. Committee: D.Clark and S. A.Campbell. Through our recent increase in numbers,there are now more boys playing rugby than ever before. Our new fields will mean that more matches can now be played at Kearsney, but lack oftransportlimits the number of teams playing away. The first half of the season was disappointing in that although the 1st XV was improving rapidly, they were unlucky not to have won some of the closely-contested games. An early termination to this half, due to 'flu, was also disappointing. After two months of inactivity during which time the boys apparently made no effort to keep fit, the team was not sufficiently fit to tackle the opposition encountered in the first two matches. Hilton, in particular, met with little opposition. The game against Michaelhouse showed improvement in fitness. The match against Glenwood, however, will long be remembered as the highlight of the season. Playing with only fourteen men for the greater part of the match, Kearsney showed great grit and determination. To take the lead twice against a team fielding six Natal Schools' players, proved very exciting. Paterson, the Captain, proved a popular and capable leader, setting a fine example both on and off the field. He received able assistance from Clark and Campbell. We congratulate the following players on being awarded their team colours for 1965: New Awards: S. A.Campbell,A. R. Delport, J. G.Edwards,I. M. Hesketh, J. M. Leveson, D. J. Morgan, A. W. W.
