SCHOOL LETTER. 1HE football item on the programme for the school year is over,

1- and the way cleared for the next great event—boating : but before we plunge into the whirling eddies of the Ouse, let us take a last longing look at the vicissitudes of success towards the close of the past season . Previous to this term we will not go, for we have discussed these matters in our last number. The first match of the term was the Yorkshire College . Those who met us at Leeds did not inform us at once of the change of ground and we arrived on the ground with only r .t men, Mr . Lord having gone to the old ground, all unwitting of the new College ground " Unslet waa : " of the asphalt path that lay across the centre of the field : of the unshaven gentleman that wanted to play iii his stead : and one or two other joys, which will be related on enclosing a stamped envelope to the editor . We lost by three tries to a goal and a try, and went home feeling " wrathy ." Next came St . John ' s College, over whom we scored a victory by a try to nil : this, excepting that gained over a scratch team which included three or four York: F .C . men, was the only victory of the term : for the two games against Clifton both ended in draws. A football retrospect will be found in another part of the magazine. Boating :—Tomlinson is the only member of the school-boat of last year remaining, and is therefore captain of the boats . Mr. Burrell and Mr . Robertson are giving great assistance in coaching. The candidates for the school boat consist at present of Wheelwright, Greeves, Yeld, and Moiser . Of last year's house boat three are still here, Nevile, Metcalfe, and Greeves .

FOOTBALL.

The clay-boys are not so well off, as L . Moiser is the solitary survivor ; bow seems at present the weak point in the boat, but will doubtless improve . The second and third boats ought to make good races. Old Peterites have been to the fore in various quarters of the globe lately, Mr . Place, of Skelton, was a member of Jameson ' s force, and in New Zealand Rev . C . Andrews as President of the Yorkshire Society referred to his education at St . Peter ' s School, York, in terms of pardonable pride. The Debating Society has again taken the field after a rest for two years, and accounts of meetings will be found in this number. The Confirmation will be held in the School Chapel on the Wednesday in Holy week, when the Bishop of Beverley will perform the ceremony. A twice-told tale is proverbially tedious and as other news is duly recorded under other headings we will close "'opin this finds O .P . ' s well, as it leaves us ."

FOOTBALL. ST . PETER ' S SCHOOL V . YORKSHIRE COLLEGE.

Played at Leeds on February 6th, under unfortunate circumstances . On the arrival of our team at Leeds, no-one was at the station to meet us, and it was not known that the Yorkshire College had changed their ground . The consequence was that Mr . Lord went up to the wrong ground and was prevented from playing . The rest were at length apprised of the change of venue and fourteen in number turned out on to the field. The Yorkshire College captain kicked off and the ball was returned into touch at mid-field . They soon pressed however, as the School forwards had not pulled themselves together, and Joicey getting a kick charged down let them in—a soft try. The kick at goal was a failure . Yeld, who was playing threequarters vice Mr . Lord, dropped out, and off the return Sullivan was collared with the ball . Weak tackling let Thomson run

through under the posts, and the kick again failed . Yeld dropped out, and the school pressed for a time : the ball was sent through the hands of the backs, and Sullivan scored some way out, Yeld kicking an unmistakeable goal . Soon after half-time was called with the score :—Yorkshire College, z tries ; St . Peter's School, i goal. The commencement of the second half saw the school again pressing, and from a scrimmage the halves sent the ball to Sullivan who ran straight through and scored, putting the school two points ahead . The college forwards worked their way up to the school goal line, but Wheelwright brought relief by a kick . Their fullback however gained much ground by his kicks, and they were nearly over . A dribble took the ball back again : an exchange of kicks from marks found the ball at half way, and from the ensuing scrimmage two of our opponents' forwards dribbled to the goal line : the ball was up in the air and Nevile unfortunately took a fly-kick at it, and Thomson waltzed over the line . No goal resulted . With one point difference and five minutes to play, the school played up hard, but it was to no purpose . Time was called with the score :— Yorkshire College, 3 tries (9 points) ; St . Peter's School, t goal, try (8 points) . NOTES ON THE GAME.

The school were handicapped by being a man short . Sullivan was the pick of our team, both his tries being fine efforts . The halves played well, and the forwards, though they packed badly, worked hard . Both sides shewed rather a liking for fly-kicks, and once or twice they were rather unfortunate . The college full-back kicked splendidly. ScHool . TEAM :—R . M . Nevile, A . M . Sullivan, G . Yeld, E . J. Joicey, J . E . Metcalfe, H . Wheelwright, C . Nelson, H . R. Tomlinson, J . P .

G . Bingham, L . H . Moiser, Mr . Robertson. ST. PETER' S SCHOOL V. CLIFTON.

This old fixture was renewed this year and the first match played February r5th, on our ground . Wilson kicked off for Clifton, and the school immediately pressed . Clifton halves were very off-side, and all attempts to score were frustrated . At half-time nothing had been scored . Nelson kicked off and the return kick was feeble . Mr. Lord dropped at goal twice but neither attempt was successful . A smart run by the school backs nearly brought a try but the tackling was too good . Yeld had a shot at goal from a mark, but the kick was charged . Near the end a Clifton man made a good run but Nevile brought him down . Time was called soon after with game a draw, nothing scored. SCHOOL TEAM :—R . M . Nevile, Mr. Lord, A . M . Sullivan, E . J. Jcicev, J . E . Metcalfe, H . Wheelwright, C . Nelson, H . R. Tomlinson, J . P . Watson, N . F . Roy, G . Yeld, F . P . Fausset, R . G . Bingham, L . H . Moiser, Mr . Robertson. ST . PETER ' S SCHOOL V . ST . JOHN ' S COLLEGE.

The return match was played on our ground, February 20. The kick-off took place at 3 o'clock, the visitors not arriving till then . Metcalfe lost the toss and they elected to play up the slope. Nelson kicked off and the ball was well returned . The kicking of the St . John ' s backs was good, and the school were kept out. The school team were rather slow, though most of the half they were pressing . When half-time was called nothing had been scored . St . John ' s kicked off and the ball was returned into touch at half way ; the ensuing scrimmages were to the advantage at the school, and passing by the backs took the ball within a few yards

of the line . The ball was sent out to Sullivan who ran over, being collared just over the line . Metcalfe failed to convert, though it was a good attempt. After the drop out the ball went to Nevile who ran and kicked, Metcalfe followed up and took the ball from the full-back, who mulled : he was however given off-side, and the ball scrimmaged in home territory. The game was then pretty even till time was called leaving the school victors by a try to nil . The team was the same as against Clifton except that Watson being un bjto play, his place was taken by Russell. ST . PETER ' S SCHOOL V . CLIFTON.

Played on the school ground on February 22 . The visitors kicked off, and, playing with great vigour, they kept the ball in our half a long while . Eventually, Sullivan, Mr . Lord and Joicey joined in a movement which removed play to the visitors' 25. Soon, however, we were again put on the defensive, until Sullivan by a timely kick, landed the ball into touch about half-way . Then we attacked for a short time, and Joicey made an attempt to drop a goal . For the rest of the first period of the game the visitors had the advantage, but could not break through our defence. After the interval the game was fought in the visitors ' half for a long time, but we never got very near the goal line . At length, a Clifton man found an opening, and rushed to our 25 . Here a long series of fierce scrums followed . The visitors kept up a sustained and vigorous attack, and it seemed as if they must get over the line, but our tackling, though severely tried, was equal to the occasion . Once only our forwards removed play to the centre with a loose dribble, but the attack was very soon renewed . From this point to the end the visitors increased their efforts to score, but failed, and the game ended, like the first, in a pointless draw. REMARKS ON THE GAME.

The visitors played a fast game, and tackled severely. There was very little offensive play by the backs on either side . Our

258

forwards more than held their own in the scrums . On the whole, our tackling was safe, had it been otherwise the visitors would have scored. TEAM :—Back, R . M . Nevile . -backs, E . J . Joicey, A .

FOOTBALL RETROSPECT. The football season of 1895-96, has become a thing of the past and the record for all matches, 17 in number, reads : won 9, lost 5, drawn 3 . The most noticeable feature has been the failure to win " away " matches, four out of five having been lost, while out of twelve matches at home eight have proved wins, one lost, the remaining three drawn . Against Olicana, Durham, and Yorkshire College we were defeated by a try in the last few minutes,

FOOTBALL .

2 59

luck being especially against us in playing the Yorkshire College. To begin with we played the whole time with 14. men, Mr. Lord being unable to find the ground . In addition to this we allowed our opponents to score two very soft tries before the game was three minutes old, and a still softer one at the very end . Giggleswick gave us the greatest defeat of the season by scoring 37 points to nil, and though we never had a look in, had the ground being dryer the score would probably have been much less. To glance at the more cheering results, Wakefield and Leeds were beaten respectively by 72 and 73 points to nil, while the best victory was, of course,inst Durham at home by 1 .} points to nil . The Old Boys were defeated twice, which has not happened for many years, if ever it has happened before . Of the try getters Ford, who left at Christmas comes first nevertheless with 14, Sullivan 1z, Wheelwright 1o, Metcalfe 8, joicey 8, Tomlinson 5, and Nelson, Veld, Fausset, Moiser, and Mr . Head one each. Veld kicked :8 goals, including a penalty, from 33 attempts, most of them at difficult angles, Metcalfe 15 from

attempts mostly

in front, also including a penalty . Mr . Lord was unable to assist the team during the first term and his absence was greatly felt against clubs . The total number of points scored is 36 goals, z8 tries—26o points to

goals, 13 tries—90 points scored by

opponents. The 2nd XV . only played three matches, winning against Durham znd and Leeds znd, while they lost the third to a strong scratch team . Russell is the best of the backs playing a sterling game against Durham . He has also acquitted himself well when playing forward for the 1st XV . and should be good next year. Greeves, Longbotham, and Myers were the best of the forwards, while Cass seems to have scoring power . Appended is a list of fixtures with results .

THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF PHILIP STANLEY, A GENTLEMAN OF YORK. A short time ago when burrowing amongst some ancient manuscripts, I was struck with a curious old memorandum which probably referred to some unfortunate Peterite of long ago . The writing was nearly obliterated but it seemed to refer toe, Philip Stanley, described as a Gentleman of ye Hon . Society of - Gray's Inn, who, on returning from a review of ye Inns of Court Volunteers, was set upon with great violence and carried away. It appeared that the Philip Stanley referred to was a young barrister formerly of York, and of Trinity College, Cambridge, who had made himself prominent in organizing and enrolling members of the Inns of Court to form a permanent body of gentlemen volunteers, the corps having been started some years previously when the Spanish Armada threatened the country. There was every reason why there should be a strong feeling of loyalty amongst the members of Gray' s Inn, for the Queen had

not only attended a great mask at the invitation of the worthy Benchers, but had on the occasion presented the Inn with some of the oak taken from the ships of the Armada, and moreover given to the Treasurer with her own hands, a snuff box made from the wood of the Spanish Admiral's cabin, and tradition saith that Her Most Gracious Majesty even deigned to take a pinch with the learned Treasurer himself. Anyway, whether the tradition be true or false, from that day to this, on festive occasions when the long tables, made from that Spanish Oak, groan with good cheer, that identical snuff box is handed round, followed by a loving cup of curious spiced drink from which the guests are all expected to drink " to the glorious, pious, and immortal memory of Good Queens . " The impatient reader will exclaim, all this is matter of dry history, "dry rot " I hear some irreverent youngster exclaim, and nothing to do with the disappearance of Philip Stanley, so I will proceed, nolus, volus, as Bacon says, and give the result of my researches. No one was more enthusiastically loyal than Philip Stanley, and when, in addition to being a cadet of the noble house of Derby, it is said that he was also one of the handsomest young men in London, with such a pretty power of turning verses (no doubt acquired at St . Peter' s), it is not surprising to learn that he soon gained the special approbation of the Queen, who requested her great minister, Lord Burleigh, to advance the interests of so loyal and promising a young gentleman, and this Burleigh was ready enough to do, if only to affront his nephew, Francis Bacon, whose character he evidently understood . In gaining the good will of Burleigh, Stanley unfortunately incurred the animosity of Bacon, hitherto his friend, and even in that day known as a man of great ability, but who from his weakly constitution and poor figure, had been prevented from advancing far either in the favour of the Queen, or of the fair sex generally, being unable to excel in those martial exercises that were in that age considered so necessary. Unhappily Philip Stanley had the misfortune to be a rival to Bacon in many things . He was the only man at the Inn who ventured to meet him in those encounters of wit in which the young men of

z6z

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF PHILIP STANLEY.

that day indulged, in addition to which, he had won the affections of a young lady, a ward of the Ho .Ise of Cecil, to whom Bacon, in his cool and philosophical way, was paying court . Apparently not satisfied with one enemy, Stanley boldly challenged Bacon ' s friend, Sir W . Raleigh, and when flushed with wine, had offered to lay a wager that he would beat him either with Lance or Latin. It did not argue well for the future prosperity of Stanley that he had gained the enmity of two such powerful foes as Bacon and Raleigh, and a few days after the challenge, as Bacon was walking up and down Gray ' s Inn gardens, with the rooks peacefully cawing in the great trees above, even as they do to this day, to witness if I lie, up came Sir W . Raleigh dressed in the gorgeous fashion of the day, with velvet cloak and sweeping plume, and at once engaged his friend in earnest conversation . Amongst other subjects they discussed poor Stanley and his challenge, which Raleigh was eager to accept, but Bacon begged him not to offer Stanley such an opportunity of distinguishing himself, pointing out that whatever was the result of the encounter it must redound to Stanley's credit, the fact of crossing lances with so renowned a knight being a distinction . Whilst they were still conversing, a messenger came hurrying up to say that no less a person than the great Earl of Essex, the Patron of Bacon, was waiting in his greet coach outside Bacon's chambers . It was supposed that the Earl had come to discuss the arrangements that were being made for the gentlemen of the Inns of Court Volunteers, to attend a review at Whitehall on the following day at which the Queen was to be present . After some discussion poor Philip Stanley was sent for. What took place at the interview has never been disclosed, but Stanley was seen to turn angrily away, and apparently engage in warm discussion with one of the Earl ' s followers . He attended the review on the following day, notwithstanding that in the morning he had received a mysterious warning, which he laughingly showed to his friends . It was written on a dirty slip of paper and ran as follows :—Beware of attending the review for " If Bride and Woolsack thou wouldst win To York must thou right hastily spin ."

DEBATING SOCIETY .

263

The Review being over, and the Queen having complimented the gallant Volunteers for their patriotism, Stanley set out with two or three of his friends to return to the Temple, but when passing along the Strand they were suddenly attacked by a number of armed men . Hastily drawing their swords they defended themselves as best they could . Stanley signalled out the biggest of his opponents and after a desperate encounter, in which blood was drawn freely on both sides, Stanley dispatched his man, but his friends were not so fortunate, one was already down, and the other almost exhausted . Stanley at once turned to the rescue, though sore and bleeding, and was again successful, but now other assailants carne up, and after a desperate hand to hand encounter in which Stanley fought as only Yorkshiremen can, he was knocked down insensible, bleeding from many a wound . The ruffians at once seized him, and carried him down one of the narrow lanes leading to the river . A boat was in waiting, into which they lifted him end rowed rapidly away down stream. From that hour poor Philip Stanley was never heard of again, though his friends made diligent enquiries, but it was supposed that he was taken to one of the ships then sailing to join Drake and others in a voyage of discovery . It was said however that his captors wore the livery of Essex . There can be no ground for accusing Bacon of so foul an outrage, though he did afterwards desert his friend and benefactor, but Stanley ' s friends, in years long after, were wont to say that retributive justice had overtaken the three men whom they firmly believed to have conspired to injure him, two of them dying on the block and the other in misery, shorn of his riches, deserted by his friends, a warning to all future generations that ability, however great, without honour, courage, and honesty, is of little worth.

DEBATING SOCIETY. On March 5th—" That Dr. Jameson, whether his expedition be regarded from a military, moral, or political point of view, appears to be culpable ."

261.

DEIIATING SOCIETY.

The headmaster occupied the chair, and after he had congratulated the school on the revival of the Debating Society, Mr . Wilkes proposed the motion . He pointed out that Dr . Jameson' s expedition was not equipped sufficiently well to command success . Dr. Jameson had endangered the peace of Europe, and that at a time when England was engaged in a serious dispute with America. The Boers were a civilized people as much as the Uitlanders, and were entitled to be treated as such . He had thrown back the British cause in South Africa by a rash and unwarranted act, and on these grounds he (Mr . Wilkes) advised the house to carry the motion. F . P . Fausset seconded . He deplored the enthusiasm which greeted Jameson on his return, and said that true patriotism was to disapprove of an act which was against the commands of the State . He was averse to " hanging a man behind his back," but thought no evidence could effect the main facts of the expedition, which was a military failure . Citing one or two historical instances, he said that political rights were to be secured by time and patience, and not by force. Mr . Preston opposed the motion . He said that we were not to judge of Jameson ' s expedition by its having failed—bad fortune sometimes spoiled the best plans . There were instances in European history of breaches of the peace far less justifiable than Jameson's act . The work done by Mr . Rhodes and the Chartered Company in South Africa was as great as any of those which had gone to build up the English State . Considering then that a man should be considered innocent before he was proved guilty, and that present evidence was rather in favour of Jameson, he thought the motion should be rejected. T . F . Williams seconded . He thought that as the Uitlanders were the British population as opposed to the Boers, whom he chose to consider uncivilized, they ought to be assisted . There was every reason to believe that Jameson went to Johannesburg expecting that the women and children were in danger . Jameson had got within six miles of the city, and had fought bravely . He should then be supported by all Englishmen Mr . Richards spoke, saying that Jameson had revived racial differences between the two parties in the Transvaal Republic .

DEBATING SOCIETY .

265

J . E . Metcalfe thought there was no reason that the Boers, because they had been in the land first, should be, as Mr . Williams hoped, stamped out. N . F . Roy took exception to Mr . Preston ' s mention of Mr. Rhodes in connection with the motion. Mr . Wilkes replied, briefly summing up the arguments for the motion, and shewing that they had not been sufficiently answered. The House divided with the result : For the motion, 8 ; Against, 32. On March 14th—A motion was brought forward " that Cricket must still be regarded as the national pastime of this country . " 'F . F . Williams proposed . He laid great emphasis on the fact that cricket was the only game in the country played with one set of rules . Cricket, he said, was a game not confined to the young and vigorous, it was a game that was played in every village in the land . The style of play, its science and the dress of the players was far more worthy than that of football. A . M . Sullivan seconded . He spoke of the interest shewn not only in England, but also in the Colonies founded by Englishmen, for the national game of cricket, and took as his example the test match recently played in Australia. F . P . Fausset opposed . He said it was a question of the qualities which made a good player, and not one of some difference in the rules, as Mr . Williams had suggested . As far as popularity went, either Rugby or association would hold its own against cricket. Football was the oldest game, being first played in Edward H1's reign, and was played town against town, village against village. Cricket did not assume any shape until r 743, and had its origin in "tip-cat ." The qualities necessary for football, energy, unselfishness, perseverance, were those that had made the British nation what it is, therefore he opposed the motion. J . T . Metcalfe seconded the opposition . He quoted statistics skewing the British public took the greater interest in football. He said that football was what cricket was not, eminently and solely an English game . No other nation had any game played

266

like English football . In conclusion he refuted some of the arguments for the motion. G . Veld spoke for the opposition, and no other speakers being forthcoming T . F . Williams replied . He quoted (rather inaccurately at times) the arguments of the opposition and said they were not such as would displace cricket from the premier position among all games. The House, which was but a small one, divided, shewing 9 for the motion ; io against. The proceedings then terminated.
