It is a fine and simple method of recrea tion. It aids athletic development and the attainment of the physical fitness.

In consequence, it is adopted by numerous athletes in their training, particularly by the boxing fraternity.

As a competitive pastime, it has been heard of little, but, as in other spheres, one can become highly pro ficient in the art of skipping with faithful and regular performance. Thus from time to time some res markable feats have been achieved by the artisans of the twirling rope.

A feature of the game was the sound defence of both teams. The Former Pupils played one man short which crippled their 'forward line, but, thanks to a hard work- ing defence, they managed to hold their opponents and beat them.. The Varsity had extremely had luck in pot scoring, their final efforts being always checkmated by the vigilant home defence.
