EDITORIALA new School Year; and the massive machinery of The Leys rumblesonce more into ponderous motion. This year, however, the rumble ismore than usually loud, accentuated as it is by the roar of contractors'vehicles, and the clatter of wheelbarrows. However, we have at lastsomething to show for the inconveniences we have suffered duringthe past year: Fen House is occupied, if not exactly completed;West House now dines in solitary comfort, where once Mr Nayloralone held sway; School House has a new (and very fine) quietcommon-room, and anxiously awaits the completion of variousother additions. (The Head of House complains, however, that in twouncompleted rooms there is no switch for the lamps, which at thetime of writing have been burning steadily for forty-eight hours!).

Innovation is everywhere: it is not unusual to see puzzled faces atthis stage of the term; but it is rare indeed that one may see a be-fuddled member of VI(2)—sorry, the Lower Sixth—inquiring of somewell-informed newcomer the whereabouts of classroom B4! Never-theless, the initial confusion is a worthwhile price to pay for the long-overdue rationalization of two of our more anachronistic institutions.

Another institution which has finally made its last bow is that ofthe School Cap. No longer will the Leysian wanderers of the streetsof Cambridge round every corner with a furtive glance in all direc-tions, cap held ready for instant cramming on to a head several sizestoo large. No longer will prowling prefects hold hurried consultationsas to the probable age of the un-becapped figure in the distance. Thecap has died unmourned; and it is left to an unsaddened editor to

C.C.F. CAMP, DARTMOOR, JULY 1966The Advance Party, with Major Whitehead and RSM Crosbiedriving, set off on the day before the end of term, enjoying a deliciouspork lunch chez Heard on the way, and stopping overnight atTaunton, where some slept in tents whilst others kipped down underthe lorry in a lay-by. The following day the champ went ahead whilethe three-tonner crept laboriously up and down the 1 in 3 hills acrossDartmoor.

Later that afternoon the main party arrived by train, somewhathot in battledress as the sun was out in force, but the Kelly Collegeswimming-bath helped to restore temperatures to normal. We werethen duly informed that cadets were not allowed in the NAAFI bar,that there was a television set, and that we would have to do a firepicket—later demonstrations by the camp staff of the fire apparatusdid not inspire confidence in the effectiveness of the picket.

The week's programme started with the Commando Tarzan RopeCourse, easy enough for apes perhaps, but offering a mere cadetmany thrills, most of which were at about twenty feet from the ground.Some of these gave extra difficulty from slack ropes due to the dry

11

Page 12: THE LEYS Fortnightly

weather, but only one person had to be rescued from a rope, and hecame off without major disaster. Meanwhile rock climbing was inprogress at the Dewerstone Rock, with pitches of varying difficultytogether with some abseiling—rather like skiing down the rock onthe rope—which some of us found the most enjoyable part.

Later the camp divided into two main sections. One went off forthree days on a Duke of Edinburgh's Silver expedition which startedwet but improved as time went on. The thirty miles were coveredsuccessfully in two and a half days. Meanwhile the others were outclimbing again. On the way back to camp the lorry had a littledifficulty with a bubble car in a narrow lane, which left most of us ina heap on the floor of the truck, and later ran out of petrol two milesfrom camp. This prompted Major Edsall, who was driving, to say"You might as well start walking here, it will only make it eight milesinstead of six" and we found ourselves setting off to camp on GreatMis Tor. The next morning we awoke to find the Commando RangeWarden who said that we would have to get off sharp or we might getshot up. Later Major Edsall arrived and it all turned out to be somemisunderstanding at HQ in Plymouth, so we were able to continuewith the mock battle arranged by Major Whitehead and Lt.Wilcockson.

That afternoon we scrambled over Cox Tor trying to find someonewho was supposed to be an injured parachutist, and required (poorfool!) to be carried off on an emergency stretcher made from ourmanpacks.

There was some talk of everyone having to do a night exercise, butwhen Peter Hockin discovered that it was to clash with the WorldCup Semi-final on the box, only the junior section finally went off. Itappears that the only person who had difficulty in finding his way inthe dark was Lt. Wilcockson. Instead of the night exercise the rest ofus found ourselves off on a great trek with an alarmingly early start,and cooking breakfast and lunch on the way. Despite a misty startthe sun was soon out, and it was rather hot for twenty miles acrossthe central boggy area of the Moor.

The last day was taken up with more climbing, a trip to Plymouthand another assault course. This included many challenges—wallsgalore, a tunnel, a scramble net, and what seemed miles and miles ofwading through deep, smelly mud. Our best section nearly beat therecord by Kelly College, but found the effort rather exhausting.

On Friday we departed on our various ways home, mainly by trainbut some by road. We had been very lucky with the weather, and onthe whole most of us had something that we could talk about withsome enthusiasm when we got home. J.G.T., N.G.A.Y.

SUMMER SCOUT CAMP: GLEN ETIVE, 1966"Map Reference 142 475,0.S. Sheet 47". That is, for the first arrivals,a sandy, green oasis encircled by towering heathered hills, near the

12

Page 13: THE LEYS Fortnightly

end of the do-not-park-in-passing-places road that runs big-dipper-like from the wastes of Rannoch Moor to a sea-loch shining west, ariver on one side cascading clear past pebbles or darkly deep throughclefts, by a school whose six children seemed almost too many for thenumber of habitations of the moor-bound valley. But Scottish peaksare shy of lying long unveiled, and others may remember rather theglowering grey view-swallowing mists swirling rain round on Biddean,or the parched peat running suddenly with rivulets and the riverrising in one night ten feet and roaring almost as loudly as the windwhich crashed against the tents on the wildest night.

Once there were Scout Camps and Arduous Training Expeditions.Now the distinction has become rather blurred, (as the 3 French boyswho came with us were soon to appreciate). But it is surely desirablethat conditions and activities should provide a natural challenge, aswas certainly the case this year. One must be wary of claiming records,and I can only compare with the camps that have taken place since Icame to The Leys, but of these, with 45 Scouts and 7 S.M's present,numbers were the highest yet; with mountain-walking, climbing,canoeing and sailing all on the agenda, the range of activities musthave been among the widest; the distance from the nearest shop(about 20 miles) was the greatest; the wind, with the possible ex-ception of Skye 1965, was surely the strongest; the new method ofcooking by Calor gas was the least time-consuming; and finally, onerecord which no-one will deny, the midges were more numerous thananything but actual experience could make one believe possible.

So much for the background. But of course it is the characters whomake Up the camp who determine the way it turns out. Everyone willhave his own particular memories, and with such large numbers onegroup often could not see what another was doing. I can give only apartial picture by mentioning briefly certain scenes and events whichstruck me most. . .

Canoes were braving torrents somewhere nearly every day, butthose not actually involved in canoe expeditions had to be contentwith a view, for example, of Larry Lowden or Julian Berry hurtlingdown the Slalom course made in the river beside the camp by build-ing guiding-dams with stones, though one heard tales of foamingrapids on the Awe, and struggles with strong tides along LochLeven.

One group walked deep inside a mountain in the night, to beshown round the great hydro-electric scheme on Loch Awe.

Then there was Zanne Chidley's "little stroll before lunch", whichstarted at 12 and ended after a 3,500-foot peak and ridge at nearly 5;or Paul Graetz and Anthony Saxby scaling streams and waterfalls upthe 16 pitches of "Chasm" on Buchaille, ending with 2 "severe"sections;

Robin Perutz's group, fortunately not mistaken by stalkers fordeer as they appeared through the evening rain after their long,

laden trudge through wild bogland to their temporary camp-site inGlen Creran;

Mr Baker and Paul Graetz typically taking the same track just fora coffee with the campers in the evening and back in the dark;

A sudden view of the "home" valley and over 50 deer as denseclouds rose to remove dark rain and suspicions that compasses mightnot be infallible after all;

William Lai's remarkable attempt to blow up his life-jacket whentotally submerged, following instructions to innate "when in thewater";

The heraldically striped Sladean tent standing defiant as on thefields of Agincourt, though buffetted by the western gales thatthreatened to raise even Mr Bell into the air as he clung boldly to theroof-poles of the swaying cook-tent and began to wonder when itwould be necessary to attach navigation-lights for take-off;

David Cruttenden striding manfully round the camp-site at 2 inthe morning evacuating collapsing tents, and Tim Fletcher's strangledcries from beneath: "Is my departure imminent?";

Lashing water from above and below while sailing betweenislands off Oban, and a wood-fire glowing in a high cave on Kerrerain sight of lighthouses flashing over the sea;

Waving figures wandering swathed like Muslim women or helmetedin balaclavas like crusading knights, which indeed they were, onlythe enemy in this case was the dreaded midge, seeking a landing-place on any uncovered flesh;

No petrol available in western Scotland after 9 p.m., and everychance of running out as Mr Polglase drove hopefully on overRannoch Moor, urging his bus back as it was blown sideways byhorizontal rain and wind at midnight;

Charlie, the water-bailiff, good-hearted if direct, the self-avowedexpert on all to do with fishing, under his green sou'wester that kepthim dry externally at least;

"Phyllis" Jones's head emerging from the rabbit-hole-sizedentrance to a prehistoric chambered cairn, from which he was makingfairly unsuccessful attempts to extricate himself, to the delight ofunsympathetic spectators;

Right-hand Shell "Make Money" notes accumulating in the mini-bus glove-pockets in the hope of making good some of the deficit oncamp expenses, but alas! without ever finding their better halves.

Only space forbids me to prolong the list. . .Whom does one thank for a camp so varied and large? So many

people contributed to its success. Mr Gregory, who used his know-ledge of the area to lead climbs and walks, like that along the magnifi-cent Aonach Eagach Ridge, had hardly left when Mr McKie arrivedto carry on similar much-appreciated work. Of the "permanent staff"Messrs. Bell, Ham and Slade must be congratulated on their dis-covery of the site thanks to a reconnaissance trip at Easter. Mr

14

Page 15: THE LEYS Fortnightly

Polglase was indefatigable as chauffeur at all hours and in all condi-tions. But the main weight of the complex organisation fell on MessrsBell and Ham, and it was a real achievement on their part that every-thing ran so smoothly, so that one was never conscious of numbersbeing unwieldy even when it came to feeding, and, with the nearestshop so distant, catering was no easy task. Apart from giving theirown services, they and Mr Slade managed to secure those of outsideinstructors for sailing off Oban, and for climbing (Ian dough, whowith Chris Bonnington was the first Englishman to climb the northface of the Eiger). If the rain, wind and midges were less pleasantelements of a homecoming after my year in France, all the things forwhich the organisers were responsible were highly successful and Iappreciated them greatly. In that, I am sure I speak for all who came.

R.D.A.

LETTER TO THE EDITORSir,

I was very pleased to be asked to instruct three parties of yourScouts in sailing during their Summer Camp. The object of charter-ing the Folkboat "Kate" from Gourock on the Clyde was to givethose among the Scouts who already had some experience of sailing achance to learn a little more about its arts, firstly on a boat that was,for most of them, bigger than anything they had experienced to date,and secondly for a cruising period of more than one day at sea.

The fickle natural elements of the West coast provided the threegroups with a wide variety of experience, ranging from a flat calmwith a "dicky" engine to a gale-force squall encountered in a crowdedanchorage. The crew's reaction to the latter and their ability to copeso efficiently deserves commendation.

Sea sailing demands practice and experience, and within limitsboth were had by all the crews, but if the operation were to be re-peated certain improvements could be made. Firstly, each groupshould be given a longer period on board, and the suggested remedyhere is to charter a vessel capable of taking a larger crew away at onetime. Secondly, in order that instruction can be carried out to the full,the added facilities of a larger vessel should be utilised to carry twohelmsmen who can then share the responsibilities of caring for thecraft and at the same time of giving instruction and explanation.

I would like to express my thanks through the Fortnightly to thosewho made this all possible, and to those who participated. I hopethey learned a little more of the techniques of sailing and seamanship,the latter being the most important when the graduation is madefrom day sailing to cruising for a long period. This must be the aimof most aspiring yachtsmen.

Yours faithfully,Malcolm S. H. Bell

MONDAY MORNING 2 A.M.A sole cyclist wanders quietly through the city;Yellow glare, tom-cats and drunks his only company.He thoughtfully glides past the silent Styx-like riverFormulating plans, and oblivious to the shower—Whose fingers soft sink lightly down into the jacketWhilst the front wheel (like the cruel wheel of fate once set)Proceeds inexorably to its destination,There to resolve all doubts and petty divination.

The return. He's ped'lling faster now to stay the dark,But there's more time—he may relax; and in gazing, markThe subtle changes in the river's lucid surface.He reads more calmly though trav'lling at a rapid pace.But what of her? Is there variance in that mind too?Does change—that bane—exist inside her, and so pursueMy frail dream now soft fleeting through buildings of despair?A breath of change as well as scent was rising from her hair.

CRICKETTHE LEYS V ORESHAM'S

Saturday, 16 July; lost by 16 runsOn a pitch soaked by overnight rain, Gresham's were sent in to bat, and made aslow start against keen bowling from Marcanik and Mahon. The latter claimedthe first wicket when the score stood at 19, but Gresham's batted steadily withoutfurther loss until 58 was on the board. Then Marcanik and Murrills, both findingthe damp pitch to their liking, caused an astounding collapse, broken only by thebreak for lunch: eight wickets fell for ten runs in only eight overs. However, theirlast pair added 24 which, it turned out, saved Gresham's from defeat. BothMarcanik and Murrills bowled extremely well, although 18 valuable runs wereknocked off the latter's last three overs. Mention too must be made of Reed who,in his first game for the 1st XI, kept wicket very creditably, holding a very finediving catch off Marcanik.

Rain halted play in the Leys innings after only five balls had been bowled,during which time, however, Endacott lost his wicket. An early tea was taken, andplay was resumed after a break of just over an hour. Unnecessary haste and timidbatting brought about the regular falling of wickets; only Plant and Hartleyplayed with any confidence against Lees, easily the most effective of the Gresham'sbowlers. If Hartley had been patient and preserved his wicket, The Leys mighthave won, but instead were all out sixteen short of their target. D.F.B.

1ST XI RETROSPECT, 1966

Record: won 4, drawn 3, lost 4, abandoned 1The season started in quite promising fashion with tidy performances in the twoearly club games, a fighting reply to a big Bedford score, and a convincing winover the Perse. By this time Plant, Murrills, Richard Jackson, Stephen Kelshall,Hartley and Mahon had all played useful innings, Marcanik was bowling withplenty of life, and Murrills causing trouble to most batsmen.

This promise, however, was never fulfilled. Although Pink, moving to roundthe wicket, dramatically established himself as a third attacking bowler with ahat-trick at Highgate, our batting could never be relied upon. Far too often bats-men fell to indiscretions or to the obvious traps set by the opposition. And in thefield both captain and bowlers must share the blame for so frequently failing toadopt tactics to suit particular situations. The impression was of a side veryanxious to do well, but only seen at its best when things happened to go right, andliable to wilt or look all at sea when the opposition began to gain control. This iswhere maturity and experience count, and unfortunately the older members ofthe side were not good enough players to take control while the less experiencedfound their feet. Next year, with the same attack available, and Plant, Murrills,Jackson, Kelshall and Mahon with older heads on their capable shoulders, therewill be no good reason for promise remaining unfulfilled.

2ND XI RETROSPECT, 1966

The Second XI, a predominantly senior and experienced team, played 9 matchesin 1966, won 2 of them, lost 3, and drew the remaining 4. One of the draws was ina game ruined by rain, two were virtual victories, with the opposing last-wicketpair scratching about in an effete and strokeless manner for a long period of time,and in the remaining one, we were very lucky indeed.

This team enjoyed its cricket; perhaps if they had enjoyed it less they wouldhave won more matches. But what, after all, is the point of 2nd XI cricket inschools? It must be entertaining above all, particularly when many of the teamare preoccupied with public examinations, and the business of umpiring andspectating is infinitely more pleasant when a team is attacking and looking all thetime for a result.

D. S. Andrews, who lead the side in a pleasant and sociable manner, and G. L.Johnson provided most of the entertainment in the batting; both hit very hard andoften successfully, and P. F. Batty, A. G. Allan and M. E. W. Jackson playedsome good innings. The bowling was rather weak, particularly when it lackedboth the bite and accuracy needed to dislodge those last-wicket pairs. Like mostEnglish County teams we found it necessary to rely largely on seam-bowling, andA. J. Brown, P. M. Hockin and D. S. Andrews all took some good wickets in thecourse of the summer. It was something of a nursery season for two younger slowbowlers, J. A. Shuckburgh, slow left-arm, and A. G. Jones, right-arm leg-breaks,but with more control of direction and more confidence they could provide the2nd XI (—and perhaps the 1st XI occasionally—) with a more penetrating varietynext season.

Apart from in one disastrous display against Felsted, the fielding was excellent;the speedy and sometimes circus-like performance of J. A. Cole, elder-statesmanof 2nd XI cricket, at cover or mid-wicket, and some of Jones's suicidal catching,delighted the umpire. A.F.W.

COLTS RETROSPECT 1966Played 9, won 2, lost 1, drawn 6

The large number of draws indicates clearly the basic weakness of the side—thelack of really penetrating bowlers and consistent, fast-scoring batsmen. Despitethis, the cricket was almost always enjoyable and occasionally exciting.

Among the highlights of the season, one may mention the unbroken last-wicket partnership by Brink and Cannon against a very strong Uppingham side,whose openers had put on 101 for the 1st wicket; Cooper's 52 n.o. againstBedford; Gee's 46 and Jarman's 5-20 at Bishop's Stortford; Brink's 5-10 atHighgate where the team achieved perhaps their best performance of the seasonafter being dismissed for a meagre 98; and Reed's 57 n.o. in a closely fought gamewith Oundle.

Reed batted consistently but must learn not to nibble at balls wide of the offstump; his wicket-keeping improved steadily throughout the season. Gee, theother opener, batted quietly and sensibly on most occasions. Robertson, potentiallya good batsman, never quite came off; his catching, however, was an inspirationto the side. Williamson took some time to settle down; technically very correct, heis probably capable of scoring many runs in the future.

Brink usually bowled well, but must eliminate a slight jerkiness both in his runup and in his action. Jarman performed very adequately as a change bowler,frequently without much luck. Cooper bowled steadily but rarely achieved theearly breakthrough.

Kidman, Taylor, White, Cannon and Sharpley all played their part with vary-ing degrees of success. Chapman captained the side quietly and intelligently. Theteam spirit was good and everyone was prepared to work hard at the nets and atthe fielding practices. The result of this was the steady improvement clearly seenboth in individuals and in the team as a whole.

Team from—S. A. G. Brink, P. J. Cannon, R. J. Chapman, R. M. Cooper,E. J. Gee, R. G. K. Jarman, C. M. Kidman, J. R. Reed, I. Robertson, R. F. H.Sharpley, J. G. Taylor, N. G. S. White, J. S. Williamson. P.R.C. and G.P.

MINOR COLTS RETROSPECT, 1966Played 8, won 1, lost 2, drawn 5

This was clearly a season of very mixed fortunes, partly because the side wereshort of about two reliable players.

18

Page 19: THE LEYS Fortnightly

However, there were some very good individual performances and some excitingcricket, especially in the drawn game at Bishop's Stortford in which over 300 runswere scored.

The batting usually got off to a sound but often slow start with careful inningsfrom Johnston and Hockin. Then all depended on whether Tattersall, a hard-hitting left-hander, and Cansfield, a very fluent driver, could settle down togetheras they did on three or four occasions. After this the batting was unpredictable,although occasionally enlivened by a breezy innings from Elsden and someenthusiasm from the "tail".

The bowling relied heavily on TattersalFs consistently offensive openingbowling which brought him 16 wickets, a total which might have been muchgreater. Poynton, Johnston and Hockin all had successful days, but so often theside obtained an initial breakthrough and were unable to press home the ad-vantage.

The fielding was often rather lifeless: half-chances were missed and opposingbatsmen were too often allowed to settle in unmolested. However, in the lastmatch, four fine catches were taken and a repetition of this next season couldhelp the side to become an effective Colts XI.

Minor Colts XI—C. D. D. Boswell, T. J. Cansfield, R. G. Elsden (Cop?.), C. J.Hall, R. L. Hockin, D. R. Johnston, J. R. Poynton, J. D. W. Price, D. E. Renner,R. H. Tattersall, M. O. Wallis.

Also played—C. M. Buchdahl, P. T. Mahon, D. R. Reed. G.B.B.

THE CHOLMLEYSIANS(The Leys/Highgate Cricket Tour of Holland, 22-31 July 1966)

Somewhat pale and weary, 14 schoolboys and 2 masters arrived back in Englandon 31 July, at six in the morning, after what had been, to put it mildly, a mostenjoyable tour. And it had not been all that unsuccessful . . . But we must startfrom the beginning.

Having greeted the Highgate party at Harwich, we embarked on a roughcrossing to Holland, and at least three members of the party, (all Leysians) musthave been grateful to the shipping company for their thoughtfulness in supplyingbrown paper bags. But the Bloemendaal hospitality soon erased all memories ofthe trip, and in the beautiful club-house there—which was built originally forhockey—some pattern for the week ahead was worked out. We had our firstpractice next morning on the matting wickets which the Dutch use, and generallypeople seemed to accustom themselves well to it. Sunday saw us travelling in thenorth of Holland in our two minibuses which were to prove invaluable day (andnight) during our stay.

On Monday we played our first match against Bloemendaal, and appropri-ately, after Highgate had been mainly responsible for dismissing the opposition,Plant guided us to victory with an attacking 54, as we gained the 126 needed forour first win with only two wickets standing. In our next game, Murrills wasmostly responsible for bowling out the Dutch, taking 8 wickets for 33 runs. Thistime it was the turn of the Highgate skipper, with some solid support from MrBennett to cope with a hostile attack, which included a fast bowler who hadcaused Oxford University some discomfort the previous Saturday in their matchagainst All-Holland.

One of the Hague League sides, Rooden Wit, were well beaten, thanks to a fine42 not out by Murrills, and a great spell of bowling by Gibson, the Highgateopener, who took 6 for 22. The East of Holland was our next scalp, in a gameplayed at Nijmegen, memorable chiefly for Mahon's hat-trick and Hartley's re-markable capacity for Indonesian food at an unforgettable dinner in Arnhem.

In the final match, although we lost, we impressed our hosts, the Hague C.C.,by attacking to the end in a chase to make 144 runs. Here we realised the value ofa matting wicket, which was playable after torrential rain in the morning whichwould have made any play impossible in English conditions.

There were many memorable events on the tour on which to look back. MrBennett's fine catch in the deep, as he coasted in at a tidy rate of knots, against the

Dutch. Mr Chamberlain's one wicket against the East of Holland with a full-toss("it swung in the air of course!"), after 4 catches or so had previously gone down.World Cup Day, when, in the Bloemendaal club-house, four Leysians and oneCholmleysian withstood the pro-German Dutch supporters, and who wroughthavoc with cushions, bottles etc. when England finally won. But above all, we willremember the great hospitality of the Dutch, who made us feel as if they reallyenjoyed having us as much as we enjoyed being their guests.

Finally, a word of thanks to Mr Bennett for organizing it all, and for keepingcalm in adversity, and to the Highgate contingent for proving such excellentteam-mates both on and off the field. R.S.P., R.O.B.

TENNISIST vi v ORESHAM'S

This match should have provided a close contest, but rain put a stop to play afterone round had been completed. At this point The Leys, with B. B. L. Hengmissing and R. D. J. Barker substituting, were 1-2 down, S. M. Watson andBarker being the only winners.

WIMBLEDON WEEK

For the Youll Cup Competition The Leys were without B. B. L. Heng and S. M.Watson. L. L. S. Heffer (Capt.) and D. M. Royce lost to the Eton first pair afterputting up quite a good fight, after which our reserve pair, P. M. Bull and R. D. J.Barker, were soundly beaten by their second pair. In the Thomas Bowl Competi-tion our junior pairs were no more successful. Both had the misfortune to bedrawn against experienced pairs and by no means disgraced themselves. C. R. J.Elliott and J. D. L. Bunkall lost to Winchester first pair and R. F. H. Sharpleyand J. H. Northridge lost to K. C. S. Wimbledon first pair.

ATHLETICSOn 2 July the athletics team, setting aside thoughts of impending G.C.E. examina-tions, travelled to Kimbolton for a triangular fixture with Oundle and Kimbolton.The weather was kinder than has been usual this summer and this resulted in somefine performances, especially on the track. In the first race of the afternoon, D. S. G.Sang equalled the School 100 yds. record with 10.2 sees, and later went on to winthe 220 yds. in 23.6 sees., so completing a fine double. The mile and the half-mileproduced close finishes, A. R. Porter just being beaten in 2 minutes 1.8 sees inthe half, whilst in the mile, E. A. M. Smith, R. A. McNelly and F. Osbourn(Kimbolton) ran a hotly contested race. McNelly did most of the leading in thecrucial third lap and it was only in the final 10 yds. that Smith and Osbournmanaged to get past, Smith winning in 4 minutes 34.4 sees, a new School record,McNelly being credited with 4 minutes 34.8 sees, easily a new under 17 record.Despite our superiority on the track, Kimbolton as usual excelled in the fieldevents and with our jumpers having an "off" day we finished second to Kim-bolton and only narrowly beat Oundle. In the juniors, J. J. L. Broadhead andT. C. A. Rayner finished first and second in both the 220 yds. and the 440 yds.

20

Page 21: THE LEYS Fortnightly

while S. L. Huxley triumphed in the 880 yds. and the mile, although in the latterrace he only just beat R. N. Lightowler in the good time of 4 mins. 53.8 sees.However, as with the seniors, our jumping was poor and our field events notmuch better, and we narrowly lost the match.

Seniors: Kimbolton 111 pts., The Leys 84 pts., Oundle 79 pts.Juniors: Kimbolton 72 pts., The Leys 66 pts.On 8 and 9 July, A. R. Porter and D. S. G. Sang represented Cambridgeshire

in the National Schools meeting held in Blackburn, and met with mixed fortuneafter their long journey north. Sang experienced trouble with his run-up and didnot reach the final but Porter ran a well-judged race in his heat to record 1 minute59.9 sees., so setting up new School open and Under 17 records for the half-mile.In the final run on the following day, the pace during the first leg was too slow forhis liking and he finished seventh.

Our last School match was against The Perse and Oakham and was restrictedto a seniors only competition. Here Oakham were in a class by themselves, pro-viding 9 of the 13 winners and with their second strings only once finishing lowerthan fourth out of 6. It is of course the high standard and consistency of the2nd strings that win matches, and the lesson should be noted. We provided theother four winners, A. R. Porter winning the 880 yds., E. A. M. Smith the mile,D. S. G. Sang the long-jump and C. Bushnell the high-jump, while J. J. L.Broadhead and G. D. Green claimed second places. Result Oakham 129 pts., TheLeys 85£ pts., The Perse 61J pts.

SPORTS DAYSports day was held on Wednesday, 20 July and resulted in an overwhelming winfor 'A' House who had also very comfortably won the standards competition. Theoutstanding event of the afternoon was the open long-jump where D. S. G. Sangnot only finished over 3ft. in front of his nearest rival, but with a spectacular leapof 21 ft. 1 i inches broke the Open record of E. H. Wand which had stood since1888; with no wind assistance at all this was a truly remarkable performance. Inthe 3 miles run the Friday before Sports Day, A. R. Porter and R. A. McNelly hada rare battle and although McNelly beat the existing School record by over half aminute he could only watch Porter finish 2 yds. in front in the time of 15 minutes45.7 sees. The only other record to fall on Sports Day was the Under 17 440 yds.which A. R. Porter lowered to 53.8 sees., but some good performances were putup and it was pleasing to see some strong competition in Class in in virtuallyevery event.Class I100 yds: 1. D. S. G. Sang, 11.0 sec.

ROWING

C.R.A. BUMPING RACES, 26-29 JULYAfter scares that this year's Bumping Races would be turned into a farce by theinitial refusal of the Committee to allow the late entries of two clubs, the racesduly got under way as usual. The Leys had six crews entered, for what little it isworth a record entry by any one club, and one which was perhaps not entirelylacking in quality since the first three crews each made three bumps. The 1st VIIIhad little trouble on the first two nights in catching Scouts I and '99 II, but on theThursday Cantabrigians I took them to the Glasshouses before being caught. Thetask of catching Rob Roy I on the last night proved too much, though they wereon occasions within their starting distance, but nevertheless they now lie only twoplaces from the Head of the River. The 2nd VIII were thwarted on the first nightby a fast '99 III crew ahead of them, but after that were grateful for the dispiritedreject passed down to them: they made bumps on the last three nights, the lasttwo of them within the first minute. The 3rd VIII had five ex-lst VIII membersand moved appropriately fast. It too was thwarted on the first night by a very fastbump immediately ahead, but it duly made a quick bump on the second night,and followed this up by two (one as sandwich boat) on the Thursday. Despite thespur of winning its oars, it not surprisingly found the challenge of a triple over-bump on the last night too much. The lower three VIIIs had mixed fortunes: the4th VIII claimed a technical bump on the first night when Cantabrigians III failedto arrive, but thereafter rowed over each night. The 5th VIII had the handicap ofbeing unable to train as a crew during the day, and as a result dropped two places,but thanks largely to patient coaching by L. H. Judd (O.L.) improved enormouslyas the week progressed. The 6th VIII went down on the first night to a very com-petent '99 IV crew which went on to make four bumps, but had their turn ofsuccess on the last night when they bumped A.C.U.A. Ill at the Ditch.

RETROSPECT 1966

If one is to measure success by "silver", 1966 has certainly been a successfulseason. Richmond, despite a torrential afternoon, gave the first taste of victorywhen we had an all Leysian final in the Novice IV's, and also won the Colts IVs,not to mention the Victor Ludorum cup for the most successful school. P. A.Graetz won the Novice Sculls at Norwich, crews reached the final on three otheroccasions, the 1st VIII won the Cantabrigian Rudder in the Cam Head, andcame 4th in the Time Race; the 1st and 2nd VIIIs beat King's, Ely, and theSchool crews made 11 bumps.

Results apart, however, it has been a worthwhile year. The 1st VIII containedonly one member from last year and had six people in their O level year, and yeton occasions it recorded times comparable to those of last year's Henley crew,while the 2nd VIII, although its composition was not finally settled until the endof May, was doing consistently fast times by the middle of the term, and willundoubtedly provide keen competition for places in next year's VIII.

Space may be short, but one must here take the opportunity of thanking D. L.Cruttenden for his hard work as captain; both as an experienced leader of theVIII and as a most responsible and willing aide, particularly in the Lent Term;one must also pay tribute to the efficient organizing ability of J. S. Lowden, andlast but not least to the gratifying support of members of the School, parents,friends and others, both on the towpath and in many other kind ways.

O.L.F.C. REPORT FOR SEASON 1965/66

The task of making this annual report seems to approach withalarming rapidity every year, and I feel should be made by someother official or supporter of the club if for no other reason than toavoid the risk of monotony. It seems just as difficult to pass on thisparticular task as it does any other executive position on the O.L.F.C.committee. I always start by saying that I shall be brief and this yearis no exception.

My report this year starts with a few words of appreciation ofJohn Philp, Roger Wagstaff, Colin Kinnear and Tom Rogers. Thefirst three, in their capacities as captain, team secretary and vice-captain of the Club, have been more instrumental in keeping thisclub going from a players point of view than any other member ofthe committee, and although we play only a very abridged fixture listnevertheless a considerable amount of effort is required to field arepresentative team in every match. John, whom I am delighted towelcome as our new President and whose playing days I am quitecertain are not yet over, has been captain of the Club longer than anyperson I can recollect and has been a great inspiration both on andoff the field, and a great encouragement to the younger O.L's whenthey first join the Club. Thank you John for your great help and itreally has been a great pleasure to have been associated with you, andI hope we shall have the benefit of your experience for many years tocome. The same can be said of Colin Kinnear, who has not had thesame limelight as John, but has also played his part in the backgroundby being a loyal and enthusiastic vice-captain. Once again I hope weshall see you wearing the O.L. colours for several more seasons tocome.

Then we come to Roger WagstafT who has temporarily emigratedto Canada, where he will be playing rugger for the Montreal Wander-ers. He has also made contact with Robin Rugg, who is now Presidentof the Quebec Rugger Union, and I understand very keen for theO.L's to send out a side in two or three years' time for a short tour.Roger has asked me to give his kindest regards to all O.L.F.C. mem-bers at our A.G.M. I'm sure that I don't need to remind you howhard Roger Wagstaff worked for the welfare of the O.L.F.C. He wasan admirable team secretary in every way and I personally have agreat deal to be thankful to him for, as otherwise I suspect that Imight still have been doing that job, which is not exactly a popular

25

one. It is very necessary for a team secretary to maintain his enthusi-asm, and this Roger certainly did, and I hope it won't be too longahead before we welcome him back.

Now a few words about Tom Rogers. Tom is what I call a back-room boy. He has carried out the job of treasurer to the Club withquiet efficiency and courtesy, making sure that our money is spentwisely and at the same time chasing up defaulters who haven't paidtheir subs. It should not be forgotten either that the very necessarytask of applying for and then allocating international tickets has beenhis and I'm sure all will agree that this has been done well and withthe minimum of fuss. Tom has always had the wellbeing of theO.L.F.C. at heart and we shall miss his advice and help, though I amsure it will always be there in case of need. Thank you Tom for all thetime and effort which you have put in for so long over the years, and Ido assure you this has been greatly appreciated.

I think that I can fairly say that our playing results this year weredisappointing. We lost against the School, Woodford, Worthing andHove, and won our last game on the Easter tour against Hastings andBexhill very convincingly. All were hard-fought and I should havethought enjoyable both for the players and spectators alike. Thesimple fact was that we were just not strong or skilful enough, par-ticularly amongst the backs, to produce any different results. Allplayers tried to the best of their ability, and some played well abovethemselves, but once again we were scratching the barrel when itcame to raising strong sides. Good O.L. players are about, but un-fortunately not always available to us when needed. We are feelingthe effects of a poor intake of players some two to four years ago, andwhen I say poor I am not commenting adversely on those who didjoin us but really on those who didn't join us, either because theyweren't there or went on to play sports other than rugger.

We have had some good players join during the last two years, andwe shall depend heavily on their support for some time to come. It isquite apparent that once we have obtained their initial enthusiasm,provided we keep in touch, and here I think our social evenings at theBarley Mow are a great help, they will whip up playing support fromamongst their O.L. friends. If we are going to keep this club function-ing for the benefit of the players this approach is absolutely vital. Icannot emphasize enough the necessity for encouragement of theseyoungsters—it is the lifeblood of this club, and I am positive that agreat deal of effort and hard work will be necessary by the newmanagement of the Beevers brothers and Howard Richmond-Smith.Equally I am sure it will be forthcoming, and they can be assured ofthe full support of what I believe to be a most enthusiastic and loyalcommittee. We have changed into yet another era in the club'shistory and much will depend as to our future on what happens overthe next two to three years. May I wish them the very best of goodfortune.

I am sure you will forgive me if I have kept this report on verygeneral lines and have made very little reference to particular players.I would only add that the tour was a great success and that I amcertain our decision to withdraw from the Surrey Sevens a correctone. On the other hand I hope we shall find it possible to re-enter inthe not too distant future.

Finally, may I just say how sorry I am, and indeed we all are, thatTommy Garge has through ill-health been unable to do full justice tohis position last season as President of the Club. He is, I am pleasedto say, getting better, and I'm sure you would all want to join me inwishing him a full and speedy recovery. D. G. JONES

HON. TREASURER'S REPORT—SEASON 1965/66The account shows a surplus for the season of £24 13s. lid.; thisincludes a profit on the Dinner-Dance of £12 165. IQd. Ignoring theDance profit, income is £4 less than last year and expenditure is £36more.

We had to buy new stockings, and we agreed with the O.L.U. topay the annual cost of the School XV dinners at Cambridge. Formany years we have invited the School XV and Cambridge UniversityR.F.C. representatives to this dinner, and the O.L.U. had paid forthem. The O.L.U. Hon. Treasurer has put things right at our ex-pense, and we paid this year for 1964 and 1965. Otherwise the usualexpenditure has shown a small increase.

Our Accumulated Fund is now £634 5s. 9d.Our paid-up membership stands at 132, comprising 30 Life

Members, 50 Playing Members (21 of whom pay the reduced sub-scription) and 52 Non-Playing Members.

Before I hand over this job, I would like to pay a tribute to thefaithful support the Club receives from the non-playing membership.The Club's expenses could not be met without them and, largely dueto their continuing interest, we have a very healthy AccumulatedFund. When you realise that the players contribute under 20 per centof the total subscriptions, the debt to the past generations is obvious.

This may be unavoidable, but when the present players stop play-ing, I hope they will not stop paying! This Club is worth maintainingas a valuable Leysian institution. T. s. ROGERS

OLD LEYSIAN GOLFING SOCIETYBERNARD DARWIN TROPHY

The Bernard Darwin Trophy was played as usual at Woking GolfClub from Friday 8 July 1966—Sunday 10 July*1966. In this Tourna-ment for the over fifties, The Leys is a past winner. This year weplayed Harrow in the first round and were beaten 1\-\.

The result of this match, although very close, was disappointing.Harrow started well in all their matches, and Page and Wales faceda barrage of excellent figures, to find themselves 4 down after 5 holes.Undaunted, they fought back and reversed the pressure and weresoon 1 up. The 18th hole was the decider, and unfortunately theapproach shot of C. M. Wales was just too strong, while Harrowplayed a winner right by the hole.

In the second match, Hopwood and Cooke were close on the heelsof their opponents, and at the 14th they got their break and playedgood shots to have the hole conceded—a 4 to a possible 7. On thenext tee it was found that The Leys had inadvertently played thewrong ball on the previous hole, and the decision of a win was re-versed in favour of Harrow. This unfortunate incident did little toenhance the play of either team. This "match went up the 19th, and itseemed that all was over when Sir William Becher holed a putt from agood fifteen feet for a birdie three. Cooke took his time over a putt,fractionally shorter, and proceeded to roll the ball into the middle ofthe hole for a half. On the 20th, Harrow were given their Par 3 andThe Leys took 4, to lose the match.

In our third match, it seemed most of the way round that thepower of Brown and the excellent short game of Joslin wouldeventually overcome the Harrow pair, but at the 16th the Harrowpair went 1 up with a birdie 2. On the 17th, The Leys let a win slipthrough their fingers, and the match started the 18th hole with TheLeys 1 down. Brown left Joslin a short run up to the green, and wehad no difficulty in winning the hole to square the match. The 19thwas halved in 4, and as the front match had already been decided onthe 20th, play was terminated.

In the final, Winchester beat Clifton 2-1.
