COLLEGE SPORTS.
WEEKLY JOTTINGS
By OLD BOY.
Brighton Grammar School and Carlton College
played a match on Friday, May 29, on the Carlton
Cricket-ground. The game was evenly contested
for three quarters, but Brighton, playing better
tog-ether in the last quarter, won with 25 points
to spare, the scores being:—Brighton Grammar
School, 6 goals 12 behinds; Carlton College, 3 goals
5 behinds. For Brighton, A. Robinson and J.
M'Evoy stood out from the rest, for while follow
ing or half-back they bore the brunt of the work.
Cramer (forward) was very sure, and got 3 goals.
K. Jack, C. Aitken, F. ClaTke, and G. Robinson
showed out at times. Ridge mi. was the best
of the half-forwards, end Dinwoodie and Hay on
the wings were clever. For CSarlton, Rentoul fol
lowed splendidly, and was largely instrumental in
keeping the game so even. Denham (roving and
half-back) was the cleverest of his side, while
Beck showed great dash, and put in some telling
runs from half-forward. Hutton, though slow,
put in 6olid work. Of the remainder, Pinner and
Robinson showed the best form.
In consequence of the inconvenient railway ser
vice between Melbourne and Geelong, the match
Caulfield Grammar School and Geelong College
was played on Saturday morning, May 30, instead
of the previous day. As there had been a very
heavy dew, the ball soon became 6odden and diffi
cult to handle. The scores were:—Geelong Col
lege, 17 goals 27 behinds; Caulfield Grammar
School, 1 behind. Le Souef, the Caulfield cap
tain, played a splendid game for his side, and
was always hard to beat, whilst he was well
hacked up by Boyd, Pender, Milligan, and A.
Carne, the latter, in the fourth quarter, doing
some brilliant, work. The success of the Geelong
boys was mainly due to the efforts of M'Farland
and Prarce (following), Stodart (centre). Mack
and M'Dermott (wings), and Melville and Dough
ton (forward).
Geelong Grammar School met the Ballarat School
of Mines on the Corio ground on Wednesday, May
27. The visitors had rather a weak team, and,
though they made a fair game of it for a half, they
were completely overplayed after half-time, and
the Grammar School finished easy winners by 12
goals 13 behinds to 3 goals 11 behinds. The goal
kickcrs for Geelong were Agnew (4), M'Kay (2),
Williams (2), Whitehead, Brock, M'Laughlin, and
Ellis; and for Ballarat, Elliott, Rafferty, and

Farrell. The best players for the Grammar School

vanston, M'La

■wire Ellis, Jswanston, M'Laughlin. Brock, Pringle,

Jones, Agnew, and O'Connor; and for the School
of Mines, Elliott (2), Bafferty, Irwin, Best, Waller,
and Bryant.

The old Scotch Collegians ere anxious that a
memorial to all those Old Collegians who served
in the BoCr war should be erected at the college.
Mr. J. W. Whyte is compiling a list of all the
old feotcii Collegians who took part in the war,
and be will be glad to hear from any old boy on

the subject. I

The Weslev College football team will this year

be playing in what were the original colours of j
the school, purple and gold. Owing to the diffi

culty which has always been experienced of getting |
a light, blue and white which will last any time, |
the games committee, all parties concerned being j
unanimous, decided that the change had better be j
made this year. If the new-old colours prove a j
success it may be that they wiU be adopted _by

!

the whole school. Old boys of Dr. Waugh's, Dr. I
Ccrrigan's, and Professor living's times would do
coubt rejoice at the change. There is a tradition
I understand at Wesley College that when Pro
feswr Andrews became bead, in 1STC, the change
to light blue and white was made because there
was a temporary difficulty in getting purple and
gold, rut the charge was an unfortunate one, as

bl'J

the blue, though effective when new. fades more

rap idly than any ether colour. My correspondent

teiis me that before any wholesale change is made i
the tiki Wesley Collegian; .Association will be i
consulted. It seems right that the Old Boys Asso
ciation should t>e recognised as, in a way,
guardians of school traditions.
