SUMMER TERM, 1918.

EDITORIAL.

OUR frontispiece this term is a photograph of LieutenantD. H. Yatman, whose death in action we announced

with deepest regret in our last number. On Sunday, May 5th,the Headmaster, addressing us in chapel on " Faithfulness,"spoke in the warmest terms of Dennistoun Yatman. Afterthe service Mr. Wright played " The Dead March." We hadhardly left the chapel when Mr. Lockhart was informed thatKenneth Paul had fallen in action just a week after DennieYatman. We had " The Dead March " again in the evening.It was a stiange coincidence that there should be such a

commemoration on the same day of two of our boys whoplayed together as half-backs in the most brilliant XV. weever had—that of 1910. In that year Yatman and Paul tooka leading part in the wonderful display of skill we showedagainst Wells House and the Dragons (return). On Sunday,May i2th, Mr. Fenn in his sermon spoke with great earnestnessof Paul's remarkable qualities.

THE WAR.

PRO PATRIA.

THE war has claimed very many of our best, and itsclaims go on increasing from term to term, until we

wonder if any of our leaders of the decade from 1905 will beleft to do the work they seemed so fitted for.

KENNETH PAUL was one of the best. He was captain ofHartford House when that school was closed, and leaderof the band of boys who came from it to Eagle House in1910. The writer well remembers the talk he had withPaul after the last Hartford match, and the enthusiasticresponse that Paul gave to the account of the ideals weaimed at here. It was always a great disappointmentthat he did not stay long enough to be Head Prefect—a position he was so fitted to fill. He was so keen andearnest in all he did, so quietly strong and reliable. Hewas not quick at work, but he " stuck into it" with

. the greatest determination. He took to Rugby footballlike a duck to the water, and played with a brillianceI don't think he equalled even when he attained far higherhonours. He acted wonderfully well—again with Yat-man—in "Browne with an E." Alas! five of theseperformers have fallen in the field of battle—Yatman,Paul, Girling, R. Reid, and Delamain. Though his Stay

here was short, he was always a loyal friend to EagleHouse. He went on to Marlborough, where his careerwas one long success in the highest sense. Those whoknew him there cannot speak highly enough of himThe whole article in the " Marlburian " is well worthreading, but we can only give one quotation: "Hegripped our hearts and affections by his frank manliness,his unswerving straightness, and his great lovableness.. . . Absolutely unassuming, yet completely at home ina position of authority ; a pessimist by nature, an optimistby faith." The writer would have said rather, " Apessimist about himself, an optimist about others." Hewas liked wherever he went. It was not from Marl-borough that the description came—" the finest schoolcover-point in England." He was a wonderful captainof an XI., with great power of inspiring the whole side.He meant to go to the University. He hated the war,and only went from a strong sense of duty, and, like somany of that type, right well did he do that duty. " Hewas the bravest of us all, sir," is the verdict of one whowas there with him ; and we can well believe it. He wasstruck by a shell, and died next day—on the i8th ofApril. We have two photographs. The one in uniformought to be given on such an occasion, but the one incricket dress is so much more the real Kenneth Paul thatwe give it also.

SCHOOL NOTES.

THE Summer Term began on Wednesday, May ist. Thenumber on the roll was 53, of whom the following

were the new boys:

Kester S. Finn. Hugh F. Talbot.

Ralph B, Kirwan. Robert E. Upcott.Ivan A. Leslie,

A big disaster fell upon us—a visitation of measles. Thismakes the third successive Summer Term spoiled or marred byillness, so our previous escape has been fairly well " averagedup." We got through it with great luck. Everybody tookit in two batches, thirty-four in all, and there was not onebad case. Not a single boy who had had measles before tookit. Our best thanks are due to Miss Elgar for the admirableway in which she managed the whole epidemic, and to NurseGodefroy, who gave her most splendid support.

9 9 9

This illness stopped all cricket matches until June agth.Then we got six First XI. and three Second XI. matches, andwon them all but one of the latter. We might have had morebut for the continuous rains that began about July nth.

• 9 9

We had a big drought in the middle of term up to Julynth, and the fields were getting burnt up. Since then wehave had a superabundance of rain, and all the grass isbeautifully green.

9 9 9

We have had a Meteorological Society under Mr. Housley,and dew points, relative humidity, etc., have been worked outby an enthusiastic band. " Bug-hunting " has been a perfectmania, and there is an Entomological Society run by Mr.Thomas and Taylor, who is a remarkable expert.

War work was principally devoted to keeping the grounds,so as to let the gardeners give all their time to food production.We have done a good bit of hard work, but the gardenershakes bis head, and says the damage to implements balancesthe value of the work 1

*The Sergeant was called up with almost no notice. Thisthrew a lot of extra work on our shoulders. Mr. Housleytook the shooting, and most of us lent a hand to keep thefields, which we found a big job with hand-mowers when thepony-mower struck work. The boys gave Sergeant Hewett ahandsome walking-stick when he left. The one part of hiswork that went to the wall was the drill.

W. M. T. Faithfull, C. D. Wilson, D. Young, and R. Buckall passed for Wellington ; but, as they are very full, Youngand Buck are to remain another term. L. Leslie goes on toBoyne House, Cheltenham, where G. Palmer is. We wishthem all the best success in their Public School careers.

Mr. S. B. Wright is leaving us this term, after five yearsof very useful work both in music and in general form work.This summer he has run one of the senior cricket-nets. Mr.and Mrs. Lockhart and the boys made him a presentation tomark their esteem of his many services.

® ®> ®

We have not had many Old Boys down this term. DickBasset (E.H. 1898-1904), now .a Major, brought his wife overto see his old School. Dacre McGregor (E.H. 1909-14) camefor two nights en route from France, to which he had taken adraft. Illness here and illness at Wellington and R.M.C. keptour Wellingtonians and Sandhurst Cadets away all term; how-ever we have seen several of these O.E.H.'s on Sunday walks.D. Campbell (Harrow) came down for the last night, lookingvery fit.

Term ended on July 24th. On the 23rd plans were upsetby heavy rain showers, but we carried through the mainprogramme all the more easily.

OLD BOYS' COLUMN.

Cecil Griffin (E.H. 1908-13) is in a Cadet Unit at Bushey,preparing for a commission.

W. R. W. Lockhart (E.H. 1906-13) had to go before aG.H.Q. Medical Board, who decided that he was not fit toresume his studies at the R.M.C., and was invalided out of theArmy. He has taken a mastership (temporary) at WellsHouse.

Harold Hinde(E.H. 1904-9), now a Captain hi the A.S.C.,came to see us this term. He has an important job in France,and- looked in the very best form.

ETON.W. R. Shirley (E.H. 1911-14), has done very well in the

Eton XI. In the first match with Harrow he had the bestbowling average as well as the highest score. In the returnthe " Times " critic said he was the best of the Eton bowlers.Rumour says he is coming up for the next examination for theR.M.C. He also played in some of the holiday games repre-senting " Lords Schools " v. " Non Lords Schools."

RUGBY.Ed. Whittall (School House, Form V.) was again in the

School XL In the Match v. Maryborough he made 35 and 8(not out) and took 2 wickets.

R. Stapledon (Hawkesworth's) was 3rd in U.M.i. He gothis School XL, but went down with "flu" in the midst of theMatch with Marlborough.

Except E. Whittall -all O.E.H.'s are at Hawkesworth'swhich was Cock House at Cricket. Their forms and placeswere as follows ; T. Kelley, 7th in U.M.i; 0. Whittall ^th

in U.M.2 ; H. Welch, R. Kirwan and D. Hogg were 2nd,,4th and nth in U.M.3. The two last were in the House2nd XI.

MARLBOROUGH.

M. Earnshaw (Remove C) was tried for Preshute HouseXI. but fell into Lower, i.e., and XL C. Pollock, Bulcock,Brooks, and M. Ingall all played in Preshute 3rd XL, whileR. Wilson played for 2nd XL

H. Knight (Gaiters) was 3rd in Lower VI. and played in2nd XI. for his House.

G. Knight (S.O.B.) got the History Prize in Upper III.and played for the 2nd (S.O.B.) XL

WELLINGTON.Our Wellingtonians were again kept away from Eagle

House even after we were clear of measles, so we only gotglimpses of them on Sundays and little news except at secondor third hand. These were chiefly of Cricket, a century byCharles Faithfull for Orange 2nd XL A great performanceby Standage for 2nd Murray, by which Murray were CockHouse. Match for 2nd XI's—Standage, in first and out last,got about 60 out of a total of some 80 or 90. R. A. G.Nicholson was also said to be shaping well and we seem tohave heard that Boileau was doing well in 2nd Game and thatC. Faithfull had got into 3rd Game.

HARROW.

Thanks to an early break up D. Campbell was able tocome down for end of term. We were very glad to see himin such great form.

R.M.C.A. G. Davidson joined in Summer but owing to " flu "

there could not come over to -see us. Cyril H. Bickerton is in

the list of successful Entrants at Summer Exam. We con-gratulate him on this and still more on his recovery of hishealth. Jack Inglis was chosen to play for R.M.C. v. R.M.A.but we missed the account of what happened in the match.

We regret to hear that Sir E. Pollock, K.C., M.P. (O.E.H.)has lost his son killed in action.

R. M. M. Lockhart, M.C. (E.H. 1906-7), Captain 5istSikhs F.F. was married on and Sept. to Madge Campbell,daughter of Colonel Sir Neil Campbell, K.C.M.G. C.B., C.I.E.

CRICKET.

ONCE again illness upset our card, but, as last year, wegot clear four weeks from the end, and played our

return matches. We had a good side, and won every match.The other sides, except the Towers, seemed weaker thanusual; but, despite that, we believe we were a very strong side.We did not expect this, and warned our players in the lastMagazine that all would depend on improvement, and espe-cially fielding. This seems to have been taken to heart, as wewere very strong in the field. Our greatest asset was probablyYoung's wicket-keeping, which was quite first-class, and thebest we have seen in preparatory school cricket. ThenCassels, Earnshaw, and R. Buck are really very fine fielders,while all the rest are good. They all worked together admir-ably. Talbot and Faithfull were very good catchers, Wilsonnearly as good, Campbell quite a good field, and Graham goodat third man. This gave great support to a very fair lot ofbowlers. Wilson and Graham were both good slow bowlers—in fact, it was always a moot point which should go on first.Cassels was probably our best bowler, and had a bit of pace.

12

Earnshaw would probably have bowled better had he beentried oftener. Faithfull could bump them down pretty wellon a dry wicket, while Talbot, Buck, Leslie, and Gamon couldall be put on as useful changes. Our batting was very strongon a good fast wicket; almost anyone might make runs, andmost were likely to. On a slow wicket it was different. Someof our batting was not quite sound, and some had learnedmost of their batting on hard wickets, and found the slowwicket altogether too different. Young and Cassels were thesoundest bats next to Graham, who, however, failed on thesoft wickets. Earnshaw and Buck were most capable freebats, but each had serious faults. Talbot and Wilson hardlyfulfilled the promise of the first half of term. Faithfull wasvery useful in a style all his own ; he blocked the good ballsin an ungainly way, and hit the loose ones hard to the on. Onthe whole he captained very faMy—much better than wasanticipated. The two vacancies spoken of in our last werefilled by two boys who were not even in the-second last season,but they had the keenness and took the pains, and so got theplaces. These were R. Campbell and Gamon.

The "Second was a pleasant surprise. We thought weshould not have anything of a Second, but they won twomatches against Marlborough House. Playing Second Wixen-ford, however, they rather lost their heads and got a beating.They were keen, and improved a lot. Eirwan, N. Hogg,Edwards, Swiney, and G. Hogg batted very fairly ; while thebest bowlers were N. Hogg, Widdicomhe, Newington, Moffat,and Swiney. G. Hogg and Stewart both " kept" well. We hadtwo Cricket Leagues, which helped us a lot when we could notget matches.

EAGLE HOUSE v. THE TOWERS.

Away, July 3rd. Won, 177 (for 9 wkts.) to 91.

A delightful day and a good match. Their first pair didso well that it was not till Earnshaw went on as fourth bowlerthat we got a wicket. Wilson got three men out in three oversfor 5 runs, and was promptly taken off, an error which mighthave cost us dear. Our fielding was very good, especiallyYoung's ; he stumped one and made a splendid catch. Aftera fair start we lost three for 35, and things looked criticalwhen Graham, who had batted very well, was given Ibw at47. Buck, however, showed nerve, and Earnshaw battingvery well and freely soon put the issue beyond doubt. We wonby five wickets while Leslie was staying with Earnshaw.

EAGLE HOUSE v. WIXENFORD.

Away. July 6th. Won, 170 to 32.

Another grand day. Cassels bowled their captain withthe first ball, and Graham also hit the sticks with his first ball—two for 4. Young's smart stumping of the next twofurther discomfited the home side, who lost four wickets at9—i.e., six for 9. Campbell by a good catch at leg dismissedCobbold, who had got 12 out of 14 for seven wickets. Thetail did a little better, but against a total of 33 we felt prettysafe. The first pair got 30, and the second added 34. Grahambatted well, but Faithfull had great luck, being dropped fourtimes. Cassels was very careful, but never seemed at home.Earnshaw again batted well. Buck was out to a wretchedshot, but Wilson helped the score along, and we reached 170.Cassels deserves much praise for keeping an excellent lengthin his bowling.

EAGLE HOUSE v. THE TOWERS (Return).

Home. July gth. Won, 135 to HI.

This was the one match with a real flicker of excitement.Young stumped Muir off the first ball, and a smart catch byEarnshaw gave us two wickets for i run. Sadler then gavean excellent display of sound batting, and, with Edden keepingup his end, 60 runs were added. With things going badly,Faithfull, after numerous changes, at last remembered he hadnot tried Earnshaw. The latter bowled Edden with his firstball, and we felt relieved. Collett, however, hit vigorously,and 37 runs more were added before both went at 98 for fivewickets. The tail did nothing, and all were out for in.Faithfull and Cassels failed, but when Graham and Young put70 up for two we seemed quite safe. Then five wickets fellcheaply — at least it seemed so, although three scores of 9were really very useful — and a panic might.ea8iLy. hawarisenwhen Buck came in. He, however, showed the greatestcoolness, and soon put the issue out of doubt, and we won bythree wickets— wickets that did not add much to our total.Graham deserve? the greatest credit for his invaluable innings.

EAGLE HOUSE ». BIGSHOTTE RAYLES.Away. July I3tfa. Won by an innings and 25 runs.

The drought was over, and wickets were all soft, a newexperience for our XI. The home side could do nothing withCassels and Graham, and nine were dismissed for 8» Hambleyshowed some vigour, and the last wicket added 15. Youngdid one very fine piece of stumping. Most of our XI. were alsoall at sea on the slow wicket. It was sad to see Graham, whohad batted so well three days before, hitting the air instead ofthe ball I Faithftill hit hard; and Cassels found the pitch justsuited his favourite hook to- leg. This partnership produced45 runs ; many of these were rather sharp, and'Faithfull paidfor a bad call by Cassels. Nobody else did anything, andEarnshaw was out to a very bad ball. In a second inningsBigshotte got 36, Adams making 19 by hitting- hard. Thuswe won by an innings and 25 runs.

We should have played Windlesham on July roth, butas heavy rain fell at noon it was postponed. Three otherdates were fixed, but heavy rain spoiled them all, so the matchwas finally abandoned.

EAGLE HOUSE v. BIGSHOTTE RAYLES (Return).Home. July i8th. Won, 103 (for 7 wkts.) to 21.

The wicket was wet, and we had several showers. Thesoft wicket again upset some of our bats, but after a bad startCassels and Young played very steady ericket. Then fourwickets fell for a small addition, and we did not think ourscore good enough. Once again, however, Buck showed hiscoolnessi and " going for " the bowling hit up 28 in a fewminutes. We then closured. Bigshotte never looked likegetting the runs against good bowling on a bowler's wicket.

EAGLE HOUSE 2ND XL v. WIXENFORD 2ND XL

Home. July 6th. Lost, 30 to 65.

They sent us in to bat, and a bad start led to nerves and acomplete failure in batting. It is only fair to say that thevisitors had a discarded First XI. bowler. After the visitorshad easily got the runs, we showed better form in a secondattempt, getting 31 for one wicket, Edwards, 21 not oat.

EAGLE HOUSE 2ND XI. v. MARLBOROUGH HOUSE.

Away. July 3rd. Won, 121 to 116.

The first match was a very good one. Reading, after avery good start, were dismissed for 116, thanks largely toMoffat's bowling. Despite the good batting of Kirwan andSwiney, we. had six down for 84, but the two Hoggs made agreat stand. Nigel scored well, while his cousin kept up hisend "manfally. They got the runs (117), and we won by fourwickets, which, however, only added 4 more runs !

Home. July I7th. Won, 87 to 60.

In the return we batted first, and got 87. Swiney hit veryhard with some luck. Edwards batted steadily. A goodcatch at the wicket by G. Hogg sent back Timms, far theirmost able bat, and, despite good hitting by Rowland, theycould only get 60. Thus we won by 27 runs.

THE SING SONG.

This was in the Central Hall at 7 p.m. The new feature—and a very pleasant one—was the increase in the instrumentalmusic. Miss Nicholl's violin solo was vigorously encored.Mr. Wright gave us an amusing sketch, and in response to theprolonged applause he gave us a comic song. If any criticismis permissible for such an informal entertainment, it would bethis, that it was a pity some use was not made of the vocaltalents of Leslie Hutchinson, Young, and Buck.
