T HE NEW SCI-IO:JL YEAR beginning in September brought'",lith it a number of changes to the effects of which welooked forward with a certain amount of apprehension.

It was a great relief to find that these fears were unfounded.

BOOK BILLS. Owing to the fact that for two years the ex­penses of the ColIege had exceeded its income OUf Directors haddecided that from September, books could no longer be suppliedfree of charge. While the cost of the books supplied to each boyis a comparatively small matter to each parent concerned, thetotal cost to the College h35 always been a serious expense.Many parents, tco, object to their sons having second-hand books.We consider that this objection has been very reasonable since itwas always possible under the old system for a boy to receive abook that had been in a house where some member of thefamily had had measles, mumps, influenza or some other infec­tious sickness of a more or less mild type. Moreover, it is dif­ficult to compel boys to be careful of books that have been usedfor a year by another boy. On the whole we believe that thechange has been for the good of the boys as well as of the Collegefinances. 1t has been a great source of satisfaction to us to findthat there have been practically no objections to the change. Theonly advantage which the old system possessed was its cheap-

59 THE FEILDIAN

only advantage which the old system possessed was its cheap­ness. To some parents who have to make an effort to pay theregular College Fees even a small increase in our charges is aserious matter. In order that the additional charge may be asinsignificant as possible we have undertaken to supply second­hand books where possible when they are desired, and at the endof the school year to buy back any books for which We are likely tohave any Jurther use, provided that these books are in' good con­dition. A 'uniform charge, not exceeding 50 cents a term in anypart of the College, is made for stationery, the school undertakingto supply all necessary material at this very reasonable rate.

CHANGES IN THE STAFF. Owing to the resignation ofMr. Jeffery and Mr. Rowsell in June, certain .alteration becamenecessary in the arrangememt of our Forms. To Mr. F. W.Blackall the Form Mastership of both the Upper and Lower Fifthhas been entrusted, and so far as is possible these two Forms,both of which are preparing for the Preliminary Grade Ex,am·ination, will \\-ork together during the present school-year. Werecognize that this change has added seriously to the responsi­bility and to the work of each of the M,gsters taking lessons withthese Forms; but we know that these masters fully realize thisfact and are willing, for the sake of the School, to spare 1110 painsto make their work successful.

Mr. R,aley, who joined the Staff in 1910, has been giventhe work which was done last year by Mr. Rowsell and has be'come Form Master of the Third Form. Mr. O. Bown, who wasa student of the College some years ago, alld who has since beena successful Teacher in Outport Schools, has been appointed todo the work done in previous years by Mr. Raley. We feel con­fident that the Staff as at present constituted will justify the goodopinion that we have formed of its ability to carry on the workof the College in a thoroughly satisf,ltctory manner.

THE LATE CANON PILOT. By the death of the lateCanon Pilot the diocese has lost one of the most capable andmost practical of its workers. Education, too, throughout theColony found in him an organizer whose ability was far abovethe ordinary, and under whose guidance enormous progress wasmade. While Canon Pilot's work in connection with the Ele~

mentary Schools filled the greater part of his time, he w.as alwaysready to forward the interests of the College and to giveit the benefit of his wide experience in educational matters.Canon Pilot's work in connection with the Council of HigherEducation, which has done so much to put life and energy intoall our schools, would of itself command our admiration and re­spect; but his mental and physic;J.1 ac;tivity made thi~ only one

THE FEILDIAN 60

of the many splendid services which he rendered to the com­munity. The work of such a man will ever remain as a monu·ment to his memory.

OUR ILLUSTRATIONS. We are glad to be able to insertin this number three cuts which will be of great interest to our'readers. The first is a group containing those members of theCollege Company who under the direction of Lieutenant Jefferyhad the honour of winning the Musgrave shield. as the bestShooting VIII in Avalon Battalic)TII, C. L. B. The second groupis from a photograph of the Staff taken last June. The third ofour illustrations is from a photogr.aph of the College buildingstaken by Mr. Raley from a ladder standing BRainst the House atthe corner of King's Road and Bond street. The fourth is 13.- viewof the south front of the Col1ege of which we ha.ve neverhitherto have been able to get a really good photograph. Forthis, too, we !ire indebted to Mr. Raley.

EXAMINATION NOTES

f. HOLLANDS did remarkably well in obtaining an Honours Di­vision and two prizes. He sat for the A. A. for tht firsttime. A very fine result may be expected from him nextJune when his English and Latin should be much strongerthan was possible after one year's work in this Grade.The Jubilee Scholarship should not be beyond his reachnext June.

R. HERON is to be congratulated upon winning the NavigationPrize. OUf Teachers in Training should make this a·n an­nual event for the College, as also the English LiteraturePrize.

THE fEILDIAN 64

':.

--

Geography and Latin were the two weak subjects inthe A. A. Grade last year. We hope to see them muchstronger next June.

R. LeMESSURIER by winning an Open Scholarship after oneyear's work in the Intermediate Grade has good reason tobe pleased. We congratulate him.

R. PARNELL was unlucky in not scoring ten more marks whichwould have given him an Open Scholarship. Geometryand Mecha.nics were his two weak spots. It does not do,Reg, to make up one's mind that one cannot do certai'Dkinds of work.

M. NOONAN obtained an Honours Division after one year'swork in the lntermediate Grade-an unusually good re­sult. It is a very great pity that he has taken a positionin an office and left the College. He should have beensafe for a Scholarship next June.

The unsuccessful candidates in the Intermediate Gradewould, with two exceptions, have all passed but for the raising ofthe pass mark from 30 per cent. to 40 per cent. If candidateswill only remember that they must obtain 40 per cent. in Eng­lish Grammar, English Literature and Arithmetic there should beno failures next June. With a pass in these three subjects evena "duffer" would have no difficulty in obtaining a total of 300marks.

Wen done HAYWARD, eOEN, GOLDSTONE and BEN­NETT! Four Open Scholarships out of a possible nine looksrather like greediness! If ARTHUR JOHNSON had lookedahead a bit and scored 10 more marks on that Arithmetic paper,we should have had 5 Open Scholarships in the Preliminary Grade.

L. C. Hayward, being slightly older than the prize winners inEnglish and Algebra, though equal to them in marks re­ceives not even the satisfaction of having his namebracketed equal in the Council of Higher Education'spublished report of the Examinations. This seems ratherhard luck. We look upon the money prizes given by theCouncil as money thrown away, ,and a case like Hay­ward's accentuates the futility of these money prizes. Thedifference between the prize winner who receives allthe honour and glory as well as all the cash, and anothercandidate slightly older who scores the same number ofmarks, is certainly not great enough to warrant the dif­ference in their treatment. The whole idea of moneyprizes for boys is repugnant.

THE FiilLDIAN65------------------l'. EBSARY and C. WI LLlAMS are to be congratulated on win­

ning the prizes for French and Book-keeping respectively.

PRELIMINARY CANDIDATES must remember that they arerequired to pass in three subjects only: English Gram­mar and Composition, English Literature (of which forsome weird reason, Spelling and Writing have been madea part). and Arithmetic. Any boy who cannot do thisafter one year's work at the Preliminary Syllabus mustneed a brain tonic. The only reason why a boy of aver­age ability fails is because he does not really work duringwork hours.

THE PRELIMINARY CLASS OF 1913 undoubtedly won morehonours tor the College than any other Grade. We mightgo further and say that it won one of the best resultsthat the College has ever had.

IN spite of the fact that the 1913 Football Team had a very

unsuccessful season, failing as it 1iJ t(, win a single pointin the Inter-Collegiate Matches, a great deal of good work

was done, and the play was, we think, quite up to that of theaverage year. While there were several gaps to be filled whenthe season opened, there was quite a large amount of good ma­terial coming on which it was hoped would make the Elevenstronger than usual. These hopes were to a large extent not ful­filled. With Winter, E. Jerrett and Hunt of the 1912 Team in theforward line, Trebble in the half-back line, J. Snow back, andParnell in goal, there seemed to be the nucleus of a strong team;and in addition H. Williams and Tessier had played occasionallyin the 1912 Team. To add to these J. Goldstone was known tohave in him the ability to play a good game at outside left, L.Field gave promise of doing well at outside right, H. Pike andV. Cluett played well in practice games in the half-back line,and O. Crane seemed likely to develop into a good full-back. Inthe first match the forwards were T. Winter centre,1Gotdstoneand H. Williams on the left-wing, Hunt and Field on the rightwing; the halves were Trebble centre, Pike left and E. Jerrettright; the full backs, J. Snow andA.Tessier, with APamell in goal.It was soon discovered that E. Jerrett as a half-back was a hun'

dred per cent. better thlin as a forward land that he was one ofthe best men on the team; that Goldstone, too, was well worthhis place at outside left; but while the old members of the teamplayed well, the other new members were not going to fulfillthe promise that their game had given in the prac:ises. Thiswas due largely to nerves and to inexperience. There weretwo serious weaknesses in the forward line, one in the half-line,and none of the full-backs could be depended on when theywere pressed. This weakness of the fuJI-backs had a bad effecton the goal-keeper who was ordinarily to be trusted to dealwith any sort of shot that might be sent in, and who would prob­ably not have been guilty of the occasional lapses which wereso fatal to our hopes of victory if he had had a strong, safe backin front of him. Yet while we lost the first matches by the barestpossible margin, it was so certain that nerves and inexperiencehad much to do with the failure of the team to win, that changeswere not made until our position was becoming desperate. A.Alcock, R. White and H. Bishop were all tried in the forwardline, and while the last two played a better game than their pre­decessors, they did not make sufficient difference to win amatch. O. Crane at full-back was some improvement in the de­fence, but his weakness was that when once passed he was un­able to get back quickly enough. V. Cluett was tried at left-halfbut his kicking was very erratic and he was unable to give hisforwards any assistance. With Winter as centre-half, Trebble atleft-half, and Tessier right-half, E. Jerrett going as centre-forward,probably the best arrangement was reached; but even then theback play was very poor, and though the team scored twice be­fore OUf opponents obtained a goal we were ultimately beaten by3 goals to 2. The fact that we had no victories to our credit bythe end of the season would make the work of the team lookpoorer than it really was. As a matter of fact the difference be­tween the three competing teams was very insignificant. TheChampionship was won by St. Bonaventure's College who pos­sessed a splendid pair of full backs, and who secured goals bybustling play and by the energy which they put into their efforts.We congratulate them heartily. The Methodist College teamwas a good one too, and in Churchill they possessed a tower ofdefence whom it was very difficult to pass. Stick, too, playedwith untiring energy and skill.

On the whole we consider that our attack accomplished asmuch as could be expected of it. Our half-back line defendedfairly well, but with the exception of E. Jerrett, did little to helpthe forwards. Our full-back line defended well but was not safeand could DOt clear; and our goal-keeper, while he played. brit-

liantly slJrnetimes, made several fatal mistakes. We can only ';condole with the Team upon its lack of success and hope forbetter luck next time.

FOOTBALL CHARACTERS.

T. WINTER (Capt.) played a good game at centre-forward andlater at centre-half; might have done a little more "indi­vidual" work if he had been in better form; was an ener­getic and capable Captain but could not inspire some ofhis men with the confidence they needed to play up totheir true form. Was our best player throughout the season.

J. TREBBLE (Vice-Capt., A very sturdy half-back who in tryingto help the left-half attempted to cover too much ground.Defended well but found great difficulty in setting hisforwards going.

E. JERRETT (Secretary) as right-half was the most improvedmember of the team; played with dash and judgment; de­fended welt and fed his forwards as a good half-backshould.

C. HUNT played well at inside-right but not as well in thematches as in practice games; a somewhat erratic shot buton the whole was one of our best forwards.

J. GOLDSTONE at outside-left gave promise of speed and ac­curate centering, but suffered throughout the season fromlack of a good partner; needs a little more dash and con­fidence, but is certain to improve as he gets more weight.

H. BISHOP joined the team as inside-left near the end of theseason and improved the forward line. With more dashand weight will become a good forward. Played with theright sort of vigour in the House matches.

H. WlLLIAMS at inside~left tried hard but without much success·Needs more nerve·

L. FIELD was expected to become a good outside-right as he hadspeed and could centre, but was too "rattled" to do him­self justice.

R. WHITE played at outsidc:-right towards the end of the seasonand did some good things, but needs more dash and nerve.As he was a member of the Second Division (under 15)his trial for the First was creditable. Next year he should --be really good.

tHE FEILDIAN 68

H. PIKE and V. CLUETT played with vigour at left-half but theirkicking was not good enough and they were unable to givemuch help to their forwards.

J. SNOW was an energetic full-back but his kicking was poor anduncertain. Defended well but could not clear.

R. TE$SlER played at full-back for the greater part of the sea­son, and though he was somewhat uncertain, did verycreditably. He played a better game, however, at half­back though he often failed to combine with his forwards.

O. CRANE at full~back played a good game but was slow at get­ting back when he was passed. Went in well and kickcJfairly well though without much power.

R PARNELL in goal saved a great many difficult shots but letthrough some "easy ones"-or wha. looked like. "easyones." Was not well covered by tne full-backs and sohad to fill a very difficult position. Should use his handsmore and his feet less. In spite of his mistakes is an ex­cellent goal-keeper, but did not do himself justice. Irri­tated the team by pretending to enjoy having goals scoredagainst him.

Eighteen Years of the Old School.(Continued.)

During the years immediately before 1891 the numbers at­tending the College steadily fell until in September of that yearthere were, I believe, only 27 names on the roll. Doctor Lioydhad joined the staff and both he and Mr. Barnes made great ef­forts to put some life into our work, but the general slacknesshad gone too far and a complete change in the general manage­ment was necessary to put an end to the condition of dry rotinto which the school had fallen. I have often thought with re­gret of our failure to respond to the attempts of Dr. Lioyd andMr. Barnes to pull things together. Cricket and Football, Gym­nastics and Debates-all were attempted, but so far as we boyswere concerned, with little vigour or interest. None of us boysrealized that there was anything the matter or that there wasany need for us to exert ourselves for the welfare of the oldplace. We had not been trained to consider the school in anyway. If there was a Cricket Match to be played we turned up ifwe felt inclined to do so, and if not, even though members of team,stayed away. When 1 think of the absolute lack of esprit de

69 THE FEILDIAN

corps that many of us showed, 1 am filled with horror and dis· ';gust. The fact is, we knew no better. We considered onlyourselves and cared nothing about the School or the othermembers of the Team. Instead of considering it an honour tobe chosen to represent the school we often looked upon it as anuisance, especially if we wanted to go fishing or shooting. I wasabout 14 or 15 at the time and as there were very few big boysin the College I was a member of the Cricket Team, not because I ..:..was a particularly good player but rather, perhaps, because therewas so much difficulty in getting any sort of a team together.

The fast bowling to which we had to stand up filled me withhorror. 1 had one stroke-about the only one possible for a boy 1of 14 playing with a full-sized bat-a glance into the slips whichusually brought me two or three runs before, as invariably hap-pened, I was caught out. As I generally managed to stay in fora quarter of an hour just stopping the straight ones and perhapshelping my partner to add to his score, [ was considered usefulenough to be a member of the team, for if I did nothing else mystyle of play irritated the bowlers. My one idea was to keep mybat in the block till the ball hit it,occasionally playing forward toa ball that 1 could reach but always without raising the bat. I can·not remember ever trying to do anything else, and as I was fartoo small to be able to use a full-sized bat, 1 should probably havebeen too late every time if 1 had tried to play the ball properly.In those days it was considered effeminate and apt to make one lookfoolish if one wore pads and gloves, and besides it was a mostunusual thing for our team to possess more than one pair of pads.When 1 consider the conditions under which we played I am notat all ashamed to confess that every ball 1 had to face was anightmare to me. With no pads, no gloves, a pitch that no oneever dreamt of rolling, and bowlers whose one idea was to "slingthem in," it would have been astonishing if the smaller membersof the team had not been scared out of their wits. There were ...-~

only two sorts of batsmen-the stoggers and the pokers. But wehad one advantage over the present generation of school cricket-ers-the cricket season was longer since the schools did not closefor the summer holidays till towards the end of JUly. Moreovermuch more cricket was played in the town in those days, and evenafter the schools closed many of us went on playing right throughthe summer. This is sufficient to account for the fact that bad aswe were the school teams of to-day are perhaps a bit worse. Weought, however, to have been immeasurably better than we were,and occasionally one SlW a bit of vigorous hitting by one of thesloggers; but the grounds were too bad for much good play, anda straight bowler had things all his own way.

THE FEILDIAN 70

I have said rather more about our cricket than the space atmy disposal will, perhaps, warrant, but cricket was the game inthose days and in fact was, generally speaking, the only game.Football was almost unknown. Paper-chases were much morefrequent than at present and we often had. one ev~ry week. Aron to Torbay and back was quite an ordinary event, though onsuch occasions we usually kept to the road. As a rule the hareswere caught or their paper gave out before they turned to comhome. The rest of the run became a stroll with OUf eyes open fora likely field of turnips.

Though we were indifferent about games, we were not alto­gether lazy, as our long runs prove; but the school games werenot organized and we played them only if the senior boys hap­pened to be unusually energetic. The school did little or nothingto .assist our physical development and as a rule we were asindifferent about our games as about our work. All the morecredit is due to those few who under such discouraging circum­stances endeavoured to put some life and energy into either ourwork or our games. What we all needed was a shock-to bebrought up with 8' round turn-and when in 1891 Mr. Blackallarrived on the scene, we got it with a vengeance. It probablytook him about twenty-four hours to find out that he had to dowith a school of "slackers." It took us very little longer to dis­cover what we were, for after examining the whole school hetold us in very plain language that we knew nothing, that wecouldn't even spell. that some of us had a smattering of a fewthings, but that not one of us had anything like a thorough know­ledge of even the simplest work. To this day I have a very vividrecollection of his scathing comments on the examination paperswhich he had just marked. I had had quite a good opinion' ofmy attainments up to that time and looked upon myself as certainto be top boy of the school. My pride received rather a shockwhen I found that I was to have only the second place. For afew days I was more angry and resentful tow.ards this disturberof my peace than I had ever been towards any other person. Ifound moreover that when he said he meant to have work donein .a very different manner from that to which we had evidentlybeen accustomed. he was far from overstating the case. Promthe day of his arrival there was no more peace-no morepl~a~:'mtly dreamy les!"ons riuring which one could think of moreenjoyable things than work-no more fun with other fellowswith a soul like my own, above mere drudgery. It became posi­tively dangerous to let one's mind wander! The injurious re­marks that were addressed to us were positively insulting! Andworse still. we were treated with actual violence! Even the top

71 THE FEILDIAN

boy of the Behool was not safe! We would hear something lik~

this: "Jone:;, what are you doing?" "Nothing, sir." "Come uphere, sir, ,and I'll teach you that you don't come to school to donothing! Hold out your hand, sir! Now, go to your seat and geton with your work." Up to that time we had supposed that solong as we were nOf noisy or actually troublesome in school wewere being as good as any reasonable person could expect. Butnow we found that we were expected to work hard all day long,and then to work hard at our Home Lessons too! As was to beexpected some of us who were strongly conservative objectedvery much to the complete violation of our former customs.Some of us even went so far as to kick against these <new-fangledways; but, alas, these found that the tyrant was not above usingbrute force, and one experience of thiS) sort usually satisfiedeven the most rebelIious that some other means of circumventingour task-master must be found. Personally I had received sogreat a shock when I found that I was not top boy of the schoolthat I was ready even to work if that was necessary to regain thelost dignity. By the time the next examination took place I man­aged to recover the place that I knew I ought to have. My rival,however, was close at my heels, and I knew that if I gave himany opportunity of getting ahead of me he would accept it atonce. Before I realized what was ha?pening I had fonned thehabit of working, .and from that time onward it was almost aseasy to work as to be idle. and the results were much morepleasant. I found, too, that when one did one's work thoroughlyit became quite interesting, and it sometimes happened that Idid a little more than the amount required. It became a pleasuretoo to win an occasional word of approval, though this was notat all an easy thing to do; but the more difficult it was to get itthe more one valued it when it came. Before the year endedthe whole school was working in a way that, so far as myknowledge went, it had never worked before. And not only wasour life in school revolutionised, but our life out of school waschanged too. School games were arr.anged and we were made tofeel that it was the proper thing to take part in them. Those whowere chosen to represent the school were informed that a greathonour hs.d been won by them-an honour to be valued, and onewhich raised them somewhat above their fellows an'd conferred aspecial distinction upon them. Through the School Games thesense of esprit de corps by which each boy was taught the im­portance of exerting himself and sometimes perhaps sacrificinghimself for the good of the Team and of the College, was born.Responsibility was put upon certain boys who were most worthyof bearing it. The top-boy of each Fonn was given certainduties to perform: the senior boys of the school were shown

THE FEILDIAN

that it was their duty not only to set a good example, but also tosee that the good name of the school was maintained by all whobelonged to the school. Every boy in the College had it keptbefore him that it was within his power either to gain for theschool a good name by good work and conduct or to injure it byhis idleness or bad conduct.~

It is difficult for those who have not known -the College un-der the old regime as well as under the new to realize theamazing change that took place in a comparatively short timeafter Mr. Blackall's arrival. As one of the few who are compe-tent to speak, as one, too, whose life has been bound up with theschool to an extent that is peculiarly great, as a boy, as Captainof the School, as an Assistant Master, and finally as the Head­master,-I must pay Mr. Blackall the tribute that is his due.Whatever the School is, whatever it may become, whatever goodwork it may do, to him it owes the highest and best of its tradi­tions. From him it derived life and vigour at a time when thesehad practically disappeared. And not Bishop Feild College onlybut the whole of the educational institutions of St. John's and ofthe Colony. For when Bishop Feild College came to life theother Colleges woke up too. They may not have declined to quiteSO Iowa level, but before 1891 they were all very different in­stitutions from those which we see todaY. They too were lackingin esprit de corps. They, too, were working with far less vigourthan they undoubtedly possess now; they, too, were practicallywithout school games; and while the changes that have takenplace in them have been carried out by their respective Head­masters to whom all honour is due, the initial impetus was givento them by the splendid work which was done among us by Mr.Blackall. How many valuable improvements he has introduced!School Games by means of the Inter-Collegiate League, School I~IMagazines, School Caps. a standard of work of a very different IfQuality to thn which was done previous to 189t, by means of theCouncil of Higher Education of which he was one of thefounders: the holding of an annual Speech Day of a very differentnature from that which was customary before he came to theColony: the holding of annual Athletic Sports; the introductioninto the Colleges of Brigade work and a dozen other improvementswhich he has found time to organize and launch in addition tohis regular work in an institution which has always been under­staffed as are all educational institutions in Newfoundland. Thework that he has done is amazing It was possible only becauseof his especial rift for 01 ganization and because of his extraor­dinary vitality and viyoUi Very few of us have the faintest ideaor what he h:l.s accomplished for Bishop Feild College. It is but

73 THE FEILDIAN

faint praise to say that the College and the whole Colony owe hima debt of gratitude that they can never adequately repay~t isbut the barest justice that I who know what he has done ~houldendeavour, however feebly to enable my readers to grasp, if Qnlyin bare outline, the extent of his labours during the seventeenyears tllat he was Headmaster of Bishop Feild College.

(To be Continued.)

The Steeplechase. 1913.

T HE 1913 Steeplechase will always be remembered asone of the most interesting and surprising in its re­sults of all those that we have had. Having won theFootball in the House Competition through sheer energy

and determination after years during which they have hardly hada "look in," the Outports set about getting into form for theSteeplechase in a manner that boded ill for the Town. Still, T.Winter, R. Parnell, C. Hunt ann J. Trebble were all good for aplace among the first five, and though Hunt was unable to do any­thing owing to an injured leg, right up to the last moment no oneknew whether the Town or the Outports would win. TheSteeplechase is a pretty severe test of endurance. Nowadaysno one can expect to win it unless he is able to keep going at agood pace right round the course. To enter for it untrained ismere foolishness. Some people imagine that the course is toolong, but no boy who has done anything like a reasonable amountof practice need fear any iII effects provided he is physicallysound to begin with.

Almost from the start S. Strangemore, a thin but tough ladwho entered the College in September, took the lead. He was averitable "dark horse," for while it was known that he was ableto keep going, his style and action were hardly orthodox and manyfailed to see that he got over the ground much faster than onewould have thought possible. At the first post (above Long Pond)the order of the runners was: I, Strangemore; 2, Eric Jerrett;3, V. Cluett; 4, L. Field (.all Qulporls); 5, R. Parnell; 6, T. Win'ter; 7, J. Trebble (all three Town); 8, W. Bartlett; 9, E. Halibur­ton, and IO, G· Jerrett (all three Outports); II, C. Hunt (reportedas limping). Cecil's attempt to run was plucky but not wise; butas he had secured a place for the Town in the 1912 Steeplechasehe was anxious to do what he could to help his team this year. At{he last post the order was unchanged except that Bartlett hadchanged places with Trebble. and Winter with Parnell; and at thefinish the order was: I. S. Strangemore (Outports), time, 54 1-2

minutes. 2, E. jerrett (Outports), time, 55 1-2 minutes. 3, V.Cluett (Outports). 4, L. Field (Outports). 5, T. Winter (Town).6, R. Parnell Town). 7, W, Bartlett (Outports). 8, J. Trebble(Town). 9, E. Haliburton (Outports). 10, G. Jerrell (Oulports).Better time than this has been done in previous years, the recordbelonging to G. Robins, who in 1908 won the Steeplechase in47 1-2 minutes; but Robins was a remarkably fast runner and W~

do not expect to see his record lowered for many '3 long year

From the above account it is evident that the Outports wona fairly easy victory over the Town in the Steeplechase thisyear, scoring 7 points for first place. 5 for second place, 4 forthird place. and 3 for fourth place-total, t 9 points-against theTown's 2 points for fifth place. We con'gratulate the victors andcondole with the losers.

In Division II. there were fewer entries, only six boys takingthe race seriously. The order at the finish was: 1, W. Penston;2, A. Constable; 3, O. Feaver; 4, .f. Burridge; 5 and 6, E. Ewingand M. Chambers. Penston ran welt and deserved his victory,his time being 50 1-2 minutes. A. Constable also ran well andarrived exactly one minute tater. The record for the SecondDivision is Eric Jerrett's, 46 minutes, in 1910.

In Division III, the order ,at the finish was: I..f. Atderdicp(11 minutes): 2, W. H. Ross·: 3, G. Bayty; 4, G. LeMessurier;5, A. Lehr. This also was a good race and several of those whoran gave promise of some day becoming very fast.

Second Division Chronicle.The close of the football season brings us to the end of a

very satisfactory year's work. "Work," to some, may seen anincorrect word to use, but those who have been interested enoughto follow the doinJ!;s of the Division know very wen that altthrough the year the S. D. have worked and worked hard.

One or two new items were introduced into the year's pro­gramme, such '3S Shooting matches on whole holidays for thosestayinJ!; in town, and lastly the Second Division has been in sucha condition ,as to be able to run a second eleven at footban.

We consider the tast of these items by far the most imoortant.Only two matches could be arranged for them, both against thePresbyterian Coltege "under 15," and both of which the SecondDivision 2nd XI. won.

75 THE FEILD IAN

A full account of the shooting was published in Vol. XX. No.IV. of the Feildian. The holiday match was a cricket matchagainst St. Bonaventure's College "Under IS" which we lost: Itis only fair to say that St. Bonaventure's College had no holidayand were thus at full strength, whereas we were without four orfive of OUf regular XI. The game was quite exciting and inevery way fulfilled the objects for which it was arranged.

Anolher extra match which proved very interesting was thefootball match with the picked Xl from the other schools. Thismatch we were decidedly unlucky to lose for we had the best ofthe game and were without three of our usual Xl. The actualresults of the Second Division inter-school matches for the 1year are worth recording:-

This season our football team managed to go through theseason without being defeated in any school match. Thus duringthe last eighteen months the Second Division has had a cricket,a football and a shooting team that has gone through its inter­school fixtures undefeated.

One other point worthy of note is that the Second Divisiondo not rely on the same men to do the work in all the games.True there have been odd cases of men getting on three teamsbut in no case were they the mainstays of the teams. For in­stance, there was only one man on this year's football team thatwas in the shooting VIII, and he was not in the cricket XI, whileonly four football colours are cricket colours also.

Since last January there have been one or two very useful"finds." First of all comes A. Constable (who, it may be remem­bered, was mentioned a year ago in the Feildian as showing pro­mise) a cricket colour and football cap. His doings during theyear will be found under the Cricket and Football Reports. Hewas the only new colour to win his cap this season. Anotherman who came to the front was K. Brown. who won a place onthe shooting VIII. and cricket team. Constable we hope to havewith us for another season. but Brown ha~ already gone t()California

THE FEILDIAN 76

There is quite a lot of young material for football next year.and if they only take the trouble to be serious about every gamethey play we should have a good eleven again next season.Amongst the most promising are Pearcey and Ewing in the for­ward line, Wellman at half-back, whil~C. Bayly and Goslingshould both turn into capable backs if they are keen to do so.

It may be well to drop a hint here to all candidates forplaces on next year's team. It is this-the straighter and hardera man runs for the ball, the more likely he is to play for the team.

The end of this football season brings to a close the SecondDivision days of three of our best all·round sportsmen. R. B.White. A. Coen and R. McK. Chafe. All three played for theundefeated cricket team of 1912. but Chafe did not get his col­ours. White came second in the bowling average and the sameterm was Victor Ludorum at the school sports. In the Michaelmasterm he was elected Captain of football. to which post he wasre-elected this year and led his team through their school fix'tures without a single defeat. Last summer term he was Vice­Captain of the cricket and came top of the bowling averages,taking something over 25 wickets for about 2 runs each.

Possibly Coen was never so useful to us as when he wasplaying centre-half where his accurate shooting was a wonderfulhelp to the side. He was a very active secretary, both of cricketand footba.ll, and we shall find it very hard to fill that positionwith one who is so thoroughly capable of doing the necessaryduties.

Chafe never managed to win his cricket colours but thisyear was awarded his football cap. He is an excellent shot andonly hard luck prevented him scoring many more goals than hedid. Possibly he never showed more promise in any game than hedoes as a serum-half at Rugby.

Amongst others who cross the line into the First Division areL. C. Hayward, O. Feaver ,and H. C. T. Parsons all of whomwe trust will have derived some lasting benefit from their train·ing in the Second Division

football <DIvision II.)

T liE results this year art: the first of seeds sown last year.With all last year's halves the two wing and centre for­wards left we ought to have done well. We found a

playing in the house·matches. As was expected A. Constableand L. C. Hayward were the backs to take the places of Patersonand Noonan. Constable was brilliant in the earlier part of theseason but fell off considerably towards the end. Hayward wasvery unlucky in getting "crocked" for though not strong, he doesa lot of very useful work. The two inside forwards Pike andEwing, were not up to the form of the rest. Pike did too muchwork where he should not have and Ewing was too timid. We,however, have great hopes of Ewing being a star next year, forhe has a good knowledge of the game and few boys of his ageshoot better. In the last match (and thanks also to Second Divis·ion 2nd XI. matches) we found a real inside forward in Thomp­son. Let us hope we have him for next year.

With regards to the old colours R. White was very much aplayer of moods. For instance, he never played a better gamethan against St. Bon's on their ground. It was his play in thismatch that got him a trial with the school team. On the otherhand he was decidedly off colour against the combined schools.Goldstone was, of course, the mainstay of the team, and WBS aprolific scorer. He will still be under age next year. CoeD, Chafe.G. White and Rendell all improved, but let them take it to heartthat they have only just started 2nd that what they've done so faris only done in order to make them more fitted to take the placesof their seniors in the School First Eleven when they are calledupon

Possibly the greatest improvement shown in the team wasin shooting not only in front of goal but more particularly in freekicks. Every free kick given within anything like shooting dis­tance result'~d in a goal, and only one corner (the first) wasbadly placed during the whole season.

R. CHAFE (Colours 1912. Cap 1913). Hard working centre­forward. Improved every game, shoots very well and com­bines well with his insides.

G. WHITE (Colours 1912. Cap 1913). Took a long timesettling down to his game this year but eventually becameone of the mainstays of the team. Should be very usefulnext year.

A. CONSTABLE (Cap and colours, 1913). A very safe full back.Has a very strong kick and clears well. Fell off a littletowards the end of the season.

C. PARSONS (Colours 1913). Though quite new to the gamedeveloped into a very safe goal-keeper. Should be usefulnext year.

H. RENDELL (Colours 1912). A good half-back but has noOyet got the right spirit driven home.

C. THOMPSON (Colours 1913). Was not discovered until latein the season. Proved to be our best inside.

N. PIKE. Played inside right or fu1l-back. Worked hard andwas always keen, should learn to keep his place.

E. EWING. Inside-left. Very light but knows the game andcan shoot. Too timid. Will be good next year.

L. C HAYWARD. A very steady, hard-working, full-backShowed much promise but was unfortunately ··crocked. ,.

Feild Spencer Association.

OWING to the in:pc~5;b:lily of securing the British Hall on

October 31st, the F. S. A. decided to hold its annualHallowe'en Entertainment on Saturday, November 1st.

Once again the Association is to be congratulated upon scoring atremendous success for although none of those who were so goodas to help were overburdened with work, all carried out what they

79 THE FEILDIAN

had undertaken with such efficiency that in spite of expensesamounting to almost $90, the profits reached the very satisfactoryfigure of $358, an advance of nearly $90 on the profits of theprevious year. The entertainment opened at 4 p. m. in the lowerhall with the Spencer Club sale of work, afternoon teas, candy,ice-cream, refreshments and palmistry. lo the gallery of theupper hall Hoop-La and Uncle Samba provided our younger andmore energetic patrons with amusement. At 5.30 High Teaswere provided. At 8 o'clock the Concert began and was followedby a vel) amusing Farce entitled 'A Pair of Lunatics." Imme­dlaotely al terwards eancing began at one ena of the Hall, whileat the other a "Can't Lose" Auction was held. In this last, suchtremendous bargains were secured, that the Auctioneers were al­most mobbed, and at last in self-defence were forced to sell offat ruinous reductions. Next year if all goes well we hope to de­velop this last feature and to hold it in the lower hall where theAuctioneers will be enabled to do their work to better advantage.

To our army of helpers we owe our sincerest thanks. Wetrust that the success which attended their efforts has made themall feel that the trouble they took was worth while. The Hallowe'enEntertainment of 1913 has certainly added to the reputation ofthe F. S. A., and has kept up the high standard at which the As­sociation always aims when inviting the general public tQ aid itin its work for the Colleges.
