L. R. Ha slam: A fair left hand bowler with a good
off break. Fields well and can bat.
R. Forster: A good bat and scores fast. Improved
greatly towards the end of the season. Good field.
V.Dickie: An excellent fielder, bowls and bats fairly
but loses his head.
P. N. Priday: A slow and careful bat. Good field.
Should hit out a bit more.
K. Devitt: A good hard hitter, and fair field.
G.Maclean: A keen cricketer, a lot of improvement
required to make him a good player.
D. R. O'Flynn.
Rowing.
Review of the Season.
This season can hardly be called a good one; this
is chiefly to be attributed to the rather poor material
and also to the absence of a rowing master in the
school. The first coach we tried was Mr. Roosevelt
an American member of the Heidelberger Ruder-Club;
the stroke he taught did not fit the river and hence the
beating in the Junior Race. Our second coach, Mr.
Kemble, was scarely here long enough to get us on
much but, considering the limited time given him he
worked wonders. There was not much doubt as to
the crew from the beginning; although, if Mr. Kemble
had had O'Flynn in his hands a fortnight sooner, it is
highly probable that he would have taken Massy's place
at two. There are many Juniors who shew promise of
becomming smart oars in time. Rowing was very regular
throughout the term a none showed the least inclination
to shirk. We seem destined never to hold the super -
macy of the river and it is our candid opinion that as
ong as cricket retains any hold at all on the school
lwe never will. Oue rivals, who are lucky enough not
to posess a cricket-field, are on the water every day
from the time they join the school to the time they
leave and hence become vastly superior oars.
Now we will got on to the special items of the
term's rowing.
