What was especially pleasing was the number of junior boys playing cricket,and,compared with the past, the number of inter-school matches which they played. Cricket is a very time-consuming game. Special thanks are due to the masters who coached the various teams,and to the boys who willingly served the game as umpires, scorers and scoreboard operators. J.L. HALL 49
