so prevalent in the school a year or so ago, has not yet died out.

our readers' attention to the letters from „x y z" and „a looker on"

from „x y z" and to which „a member of the fifteen" also devotes

in them is largely, if not entirely, to be ascribed to the last cause
mentioned above, and that nothing but time will revive their
popularity, if indeed it can be said ever to have lived. We were
much pleased to see the house ties got up in the Army House and
hope sincerely that the School-House will not suffer itself to be out
done by its youthful rival.
Matches.
School House v. Army House.
Played Saturday Oct. 17th.
The Army House, who, to make up for their greater weight and
strength, were playing three men short, won the toss and decided
to defend the west goal. Hassall kicked off for the School House
and the forwards following up smartly on the kick, the Army House
were decidedly penned for the first ten minutes. The ball Avas never
.out of their 25 and all their energies had to be devoted to defending
their goal, but a lucky run of Stack's, followed by some good passing
of the forwards took the ball well down towards the School-House
Goal when, after some loose scrimmaging a short run through obtained
the first try right between the goalposts. The try was given to Stack
who easily converted it into a goal.
From now till half-time both sides played with great pluck and
steadiness but the greater number in the scrimmage told slowly but
surely for the School-House the ball being forced further and further
till an excellent run of Mr. Robinson's, obtained a difficult try for
the School-House, which Hassall failed to kick.
After the change of ends the School-House were pressed so
hard that they were forced to touch down in Self defence. Hassall's
drop out was quickly answered by the A. H. backs and after some
scrimmages just in front of the S. H. goal, Mendelssohn by a piece
of very smart following up obtained another try for his house, the
kick of which however failed. The School-House now did their best
to score again and some fine runs were made by Ellis and Hassall
but the Army-House played up with equal vigour and at the call of
time stood victors by a goal and a try to a try.
The match was well and carefully played throughout. Of the
backs Stack's play deserved especial praise. It was always good and
careful and was at times positively brilliant. Dundas also played well
at threequarter for the Army-House and liickards at-half-buck F?OT
