Croft won by 1 lengths. Time 8 min. 51 sec. Croft won by 2 lengths. Time 8 min. 33 sec. 10 I Trial Eights. Rowed on Thursday, November 30. There were two Seniors and three Juniors. The Seniors were coached by Butler and Cameron, and Rose; the Juniors by Leftwich, Hadland, and Whitman. The Seniors' race was a very good one, Rose's eight winning by three seconds. Whitman's crew won the Juniors. The weights of the Junior Crew were not taken. A supper was held in Lecture Room VI after Hall on Thursday night, when the pots were presented to the winning crews by Mr Lister, who presided. It gives us much satisfaction that the College, after an interval of some years, has again had a representative in the University Trial Eights, W. H. Bonsey having rowed seven in the losing boat (December 1). We trust that this will be followed up by his obtaining his "blue." CRICKET Club. The following Officers have been elected for the ensuing season: President-Mr J. R. Tanner._ Treasurer-Mr G. C. M. Smith. CaptainG. P. K. Winlaw. Secretary-F. J. S. Moore. Committee-J. J. Robinson, W. G. Wrangham, H. A. Merriman, W. Falcon, J. H. Metcalfe. Mr F. L. Thompson, President, and for so many years Treasurer of the Club, has resigned office to our great regret, in consequence of his approaching departure from Cambridge. We wish him all happiness and success, and hope we may often see him again on the cricket ground where he has played so many years for the College. RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB. Captain-J. J. Robinson. Secretary-W. Falcon. Up to the present we have had a fairly successful season, having won six matches out of eleven, drawn one and lost four. The reverses were suffered at the hands of Trinity (twice), Clare, and Jesus. As there are still several fixtures to be played next term as well as this, and the vacancies among the colours' have not yet been filled up, a further account will be reserved till the next number. Our 'Blue' and 'International' J. J. Robinson has been playing regularly for the 'Varsity during the term. Several old Johnians have played against the 'Varsity-A. E. Elliott for St. Thomas's Hospital, C. D. Edwards for Guy's Hospital, and T. L. Jackson for the Old Leysians. G. R. Joyce has played with much success for Surrey. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB. Captain-C. O. S. Hatton. Hon. Sec.-B. J. C. Warren. With nine colour men remaining out of last year's team, we were confident of a fairly good season, and, although on several occasions we have been obliged to put a very weak eleven into the field, the record is moderately good. Had several of the old colour men, however, condescended to come down to practice, the result, especially in the cup tie, might have been still more satisfactory. The forwards have been much better together than last year, and the shooting, although not everything that could be wished, has been more effective, as is shown by the fact that in only one match have we failed to score. The centre and outside right are perhaps the two weakest spots, but Reeve was unfortunate in getting hurt when he was beginning to combine better with the other forwards. Cole has also played well in several matches. H. H. Davies at outside left and Merriman inside have played consistently well, and Warren's passing is good. The backs and halves have all been fairly reliable, but Mundahl is much slower than last year. We congratulate Hatton on playing several times for the 'Varsity, and Reeve on playing in the Freshmen's match. Out of a total of 15 matches played up to the present time we have won nine, drawn two, and lost four. We have kicked 52 goals to 33. In the first match with Pembroke we had only ten men and got beaten 5-7, but made ample amends in the return by winning 5-0. We drew a bye in the first round of the College Cup and were unfortunate in getting beaten (2-3) by Trinity Hall in the second round; nearly all the team, however, were in want of practice and training. The second eleven have done remarkably well, and with the exception of one draw have won all their matches and have kicked 28 goals to 7. The team has been made up as follows: The following have also played-F. W. Walker, F. J. S. Moore, C. M' Webb, F. A. S. McClelland, C. C. Sumner, A. J. Story. The following is the result of matches up to the present time: The characters will appear in the next number of the Eagle. ATHLETIC CLUB. President-H. M. St C. Tapper. Hon. Secretary-W. Falcon.

We congratulate K. Clarke upon his success in the Long Jump at the Freshmen's Sports. In the athletic competition held at Fenner's on December 2, between the University and the L.A.C., G. P. K. Winlaw was chosen as the University first string' in the Long Jump, and C. H. Rivers in the Weight, which he won with a put of 35 feet 10 inches. Winlaw jumped 20 feet 5 inches; Tapper, who jumped against him for the L.A.C., 20 feet 7 inches. C. C. Angell and H. B. Watts have been representing the 'Varsity in the Hare and Hounds.'

The expenses of the General Athletic Club have been unusually heavy this year.

Lacrosse in Cambridge is at present in a flourishing condition, and is particularly well supported in St John's, though we should like to see a few more recruits from the ranks of those likely to remain in residence for some time.
