Beethoven, the pitch in use was tolerably uni
form and during this time most of the world'sgreatest musicians lived; this pitch is still knownas the" classical": but at the beginning of the
19th century a craze for "brilliancy" set inand the pitch steadily rose till about 1878, whenthe Covent Garden Opera orchestra was playingat a pitch fully a semi-tone above the Classical
pitch of the previous century. Military bandsare still tuned to this pitch, which is often knownas" concert" pitch, but of course it is impossiblefor singers, and a general revolt set in in favour
of a pitch which was less vocally exacting: ithad hecome practically impossible to sing theChoral Symphony with an A of 450 vibrations.
In 1896, the "French diapason normal"became generally adopted all over the Continentand England followed by adopting a pitch,which, allowing for the difference in climate,was virtually identical with the "French."In 1906 the low pi tch was in general use except bymilitary bands, which still retain the high pitch forno particnlar reason but that they are accustomedto it: and it seems it is not even universal withthem, for the Coldstreams have recently adoptedthe low. There is nothing to be gained by keepingthe high ptch and the principal difficulty ofabolishing it is the expense of replacing the instruments. This diHiculty is now virtually settled herethanks to the energy of Dr. 1vimcy, MajorTurner and their supporters: from this momentour School music stands on a new footing andmay be said to have a secure future.
Thc performance of Coleridge Taylor's" Hiawatha's \Vedding Feast," for chorus and orchestra, celebrated in fitting fashion this interestingreform. Thcre is no more tuneful and characteristic work and on the whole both choir andorchestra did it justice. It will take some timeyct before thcy acquire the smoothness andprecision which only expericnce can give, but thework was well rendered throughout. The unaccompanied singing by the choir in the passagebeginning: "Sing to us, 0 Chibiabos," wasparticularly beautiful; Mr. Prior sang" Onaway!awake," with his accustomed skill and taste,though hampered by a bad cold. The orchestra,stiffened by a handful of veteran performers,

The battle of the pitches, which has distractedthe world of music for more than a century,may be sai d to have come to an end here onMarch 29th last. A correspondent in our columnslast Michaelmas directed attention to the factthat our maintenance of both high and low pitchwas the chief technical obstacle to the progressof our College music.
It is a matter for wonder and satisfactionthat a bare six months have sufficed to see thisvital question settled and a distracting causeof difference finally buried. A word or two onthe history of the' pitch' may be of interest.

accompanied the whole work without a mistalce, making no slips in their leads and playing throughout in perfect tune : the whole was a most encouraging advance upon anything which has recently been done here. But perhaps the most audacious effort of this momentous evening was the first movement of Grieg's A Minor Concerto, for pianoforte and orchestra; Evans was the soloist and he played it, all things considered, with astonishing verve. It was a remarkable feat for a pianist of his age, and we may say that this is the first time a piano concerto has ever been played here by a boy as soloist. There is no more exhilarating form of music and we all hope to see the experiment repeated. Signor Rietti, whom we shall miss, played two viohn solos and got a great reception. The orchestra had it all to itself in the Toreador's March, and fairly " let fly." The vSchool song and Folk songs were sung with unction, and " All Aboard " led finally into the inevitable (and interminable) " Auld Lang Syne."
THE SCHOOL v. A. D. WOMERSLEY'S XL
Owing to the fact that the visitors did not arrive till late, the match did not start till 3-45, and so there was only a small attendance. The visitors started off at a great pace, scoring two goals in the first five minutes. The School retaliated and forced a corner, but nothing came of it. Again they scored (3—0), but good combination by Rowe and Cooper gave the School forwards several chances, none of which was taken. Another goal for the visitors brought the first half to a close. Leach, soon after the resumption, made a good save, but could not prevent a fifth goal, .added by Mr. Sandford. From a molee in front of goal, Rowe got in a shot (1—5), and soon alter Moore repeated the process. Several rushes by the visitors were held up by Henwood, who throughout played a fine game. Eventually the School scored a third goal through Rowe, but the visitors now carried all before them, their halves feeding the forwards very well. Three more
g(.;i s brought their total up to eight, before the whistle went.
The School halves were weak, and did not give their forwards a fair chance. Leach in goal played pluckily, but lacks judgment. Ash-field was very sound, but the forwards were the best part of the team.

HOCKEY CHARACTERS.
M. E. RowE.^—As a forward he was the life and soul of our attack. He feeds his outside-right well, and he can shoot. A tendency to go a little too much on his own, especially if things were going badly for the side, was a natural but unfortunate consequence of lack of support and responsiveness on the part of the other forwards. A keen and splendidly energetic captain who said little and did much.
E. C. HENWOOD.—A really good full-back who was the mainstay of our defence. Some pace enabled him to play well up-field and mark the opposing inside, and only experience is needed to teach him exactly how far up he can afford to go. A sound tackier, he needs a little more discretion in distributing his passes.
G. W. F. HASLEHUST.—Though not possessing
any physical advantages such as a big reach or great pace, which are so useful to a left-hall, he occupied the most difficult position in the field with distinct credit. He knew how to use his stick and where to pass, though occasionally he delayed his passes too long. Quite the best half on the side.
J. L OUTRAM.—A considerable knowledge of the game helped him to become a very useful outside-left. He knows how to use his stick,
THE MARLBURIAN. 61
can centre, and can slioot if tlic opportuni ty
occurs. The a t t r ibute he hicks is pace : with
some he might be reahy good.
R. L. MOORE.'—A promi.sing centre-forward of
the busthng type. At present he is not suffi
ciently clever with his stick to reap the re
wards of Iiis dash. He must keep tlie l)all
much closer to his sticl-c and learn to shoot
in a conhned space.
G. H. S E E L E Y . — A n inside left who possibly
would do better at inside right. He fails to
appreciate the difference between a hard pass
and a hit, and shoots liadly because he does
not watch the ball. But he has a very sound
sense of when to pass, and can feed his outside
well. He should be good with more experience.
L. J. N A S H . — A nuich imj)roved centre-half.
He gradually acquired something of the art
of passing and, although handicapped by lack
of pace, always accomplished an immense
amount of work.
C. R. W. AsHEiELD.--rotentially a good lull-
back, but reduced by slowness in moving to
mediocrity. He knows as well as any defender
in the team when and where to pass and he
can tackle when he reaches his man. At
present the amount of work he can tlo is limited.
R. LEACH.—After s tar t ing the season poorly he
came on immensely and nearly fullilled the
promise of a startling iirst appearance last
year. He has a good sense of when to come
out and can use his feet to advantage.
W. B. JACKSON.—Originally tried at centre-half,
and ultimately placed at right-half, he shewed
to most advantage in a slow game on the
• slow grounds at the beginning of the year.
A persistent tackier he lacked the necessary
cleverness with his stick to feed his forwards
effectively.
W. F. C00PF.R.—Supplied another proof of the
dictum that the fe'st reserve inside forward
is the soundest choice h)r outside right. Ener
gy, dash and keenness made him into quite a
good wing forward, who won a cons])icuous
success at Beckenham.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIP .
After the good form shewn by our pair in the
practice games which they had during the week
preceding the matches (they played against a
Cambridge pair and the score was three games
all and against the Oxford pair they won two
gam es out of six) their defeat in the second
round of the tournament was somewhat dis
appointing. Although we won against Clifton
it was not a very convincing win, and in the
match V. Wellington Haslehust was obviously
far from well, his strokes lacked their usual sting
and finish and he played as if he was very stale
and tired; he could not find his real game, t ry how
he would. This was a pity, for Sheppard played
really well in both matches, his service was good
and he was always very cool and unperturbed ;
he was a good second string and justified his
inclusion in the pair. The strain of the practice
games is rather severe, our last practice was late
in the afternoon on Monday, and we had to play
the first match on Tuesday morning at ten ; it is
possible tha t this told against the strength of the
pair. We must hope to do better next year.
Reprint from The Times :—
F I R S T R O U N D .
Marlborough beat Clifton by four games to one
(15—2, 5—15, 15—10, 15—10, 15—7). In the
first game, G. D'O. Sheppard made a fine run of
8, 6 by service ; and Marlborough took the game
easih'. Bonham-Carter went from 0—0 to 9—0
in the next game, making 7 points by service,
and Clifton won that game easily. After tha t
they had no chance against a frankly better pair.
Haslehust faltered once or twice, but Sheppard
played a perfect game as an unperturbed second
string in every dei:)artment of the game.
SECOND R O U N D .
Wellington l)eat Marlborough by four games to
none (15—0, 15—11, 15—11, 15—6). Wellington
went off at top pace in the first game.
Marlborough won the toss, but G. W. F .
Ha hehust was put out without scoring. P. A.
Durlacher_^made a run of 8, scoring 6 aces by
62 THE MARLBURIAN
service, and L. Lees went to 13—0. Marlborongh
were put out without scoring and Wellington won
the game 15—0. They led at 7—3 in the next
game, but Marlborough got to 9—7, Shcppard
playing a great game. From there Wellington
went to 11—9 and, after put t ing their opponents
out for only 1 point in 2 hands, won the game
at 15—10. Sheppard made a fine run of 7 at the
beginning of the 3rd game, and his partner added
another point. Welhngton went to 11—8 before
they were put out ; Marlborough got only 1 point
in 2 hands. At 11—13 Slieppard under-cut his
ball and served his hand out. Durlacher won the
next three points and the game. From this point
on Wellington always played the more confident
game. Haslehust failed to cut the ball, and
against players who are int imate with first-class
racqets tha t is useless. Sheppard played to the
end like a perfect partner to a better player.
Ctirktt.
Cricket has always produced grumblings from
someone and every year they have been more or
less the same. House Uppers do not get enough
games whereas the other house sides get too
many. This year, therefore, a new scheme has
been devised. As usual, Uppers will play for the
Lucas Cup ; Lowers, Thirds and Fourths for the
Hoblyn Cup. But this year, as in 1917, House
Matches are going to be played on the American
League system (that is to say, all against all)
and wiU only take one day each, thanks to the
early start which we are being allowed to make
(11.30). In order tha t Fourths may play their
matches on the same days as the others, four
grounds are being prepared above Level Broad-
Icaze, where the old Village Cricket grounds used
to be. Thus in one day a whole round of House
Matches (Uppers, Lowers, Thirds and Fourths) ,
will be finished and the whole thing, including
the interminable Hoblyn Cup games, will be
finished in nine half hohdays.
The Colts, who have this year to be under 16
on May 1st, are, as usual, going to be taken by
Mr, I 'atteson, while the other people on house
uppers, who do not aspire to big game, are to be
coached by Mr. Cheesman.
The two grounds (m Level Broadleaze will be
used on some days as iiouse groiuids by houses
in rotation, and on others by Mr. Patteson and
Mr. Cheesman for their games.
It is hoped by this scheme tha t house uppers
will get more and better games and more coaching
than has been tlie case heretofore.
M.C. " A " V. CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE.
The first match of the season was played on
Saturday, May 15th, by an " A " team against
Corpus Christi College inider the leadership of
F . S. V. Donnison, The Oxfi)rd side had two of
their best members away, representing the 'Var
sity on other fields of athhdics, so to make a
good game they brought down an imported
member, an alien in the land, in the person of
A. D. Badger. This gentleman had a great effect
on the game and very nearly brought Ids .side
to success.
Corpus went in first, their first wicket being
down to Young for two runs. Three wickets
were down for 19, but Hutchinson and Dalziel
made a s tand and brought the score up to 110
before the lat ter was disposed of by Young. The
whole side was eventually out for 190.
We also started badly, Mr. Badger proving a
faster type of bowler than any we have yet met
this year. Two of our wickets were down for
41 and 6 for 52. Then we likewise made a stand.
Faulkner and Richards got set and brought the
score to 175 before C()0])er dismissed the latter.
Young and Faulkner then made the necessary
runs to win by two wickets. Thus the match,
which at first promised to be hardly a game, was
only just brought off in our favour.
The School bowling left much to be desired.
None of the bowlers seemed to be able to get a
length at all and Pyemont ' s slow ball appeared
to be, if anything, too slow, as a good batsman
could have either hit it out of the ground or
driven it to the boundary. The fielding, though
far from good, was certainly an improvement on
the display on Big Game. Richards is to be
congratulated on his 43, while Faulkner, in his first appearance, could hardly have done better
than his_^71 not out. He, at a n y j a t e , has shewn us how to do the late cut.

Turner ' s won the toss, bu t m a d e a wretched s tar t , 9 wickets
falling for 43 runs ; liowever, Glennie and Armitage, aided by
some dropped catches, added 72 for the last wicket. Young
bowled really well a t tlie beginning of Turner ' s innings, but
he lost his length after lunch. Pa t teson ' s did not start
mu<^h better , 0 wickets being down for 49 runs. However,
a heavy shower made the ball very difficult to hold, and
S a r d hit bril l iantly while Cornwall kept u]) his (^nd, thus
enabl ing J 'at teson's to win an exciting match on the first
innings by 10 runs. Turner ' s bowling unt i l the rain came was

I t would ccsrtainly be hard to th ink of any soldier-poet
who expresscid a religious fai th as sincerely and with so much
l i terary ability' as Alec do (/andolc, a Marlburian, who was
killed in act ion in September , 1918, a t the age of 21. The
au thor is no t merely a religious ])oet, bu t something rarer :
a poet a t his best when he writes of rcligiim. Nor is his
a facile faith. The poems are full of suffering and lonelisess,
and the belief is in an austere, r e m o t e Gloil of an almost fatal
istic kind.
Has t thou beheld a night of burning stars ?
With ev 'n such siksnt e jes does God behold
The world and all its sorrows.
I t is most uncommon to llnd a modern writer who can speak
abou t the eternal with the (ktpth of feeling and surety of
these and similar limss. Mr. do Carulole died very young
and it is obvious t h a t he had not reached his full l i terary
powers ; bu t even iir this volume appears a remarkable degree,
of accomplishn^cnt, together with a sincerity e(|uaUy remark
able. Those who consichir a r t to bo essentially stat ic have
regretted t h a t nowadays, in the i)hraso of Xenophancs,
" doubt is o.xtoiidetl over everything." To such, a n d to
others, too. Alec do Candole's pooms, with their quiet , digni
fied expression of adherence to the old faith, will bring a
pleasure difficult to obta in from modern poetry, saddened
by a genuine regret for the tragic fate of their very excep
tional author .—Times Literary tiiippt.

70 THE MARLBURIAN
To the Editor of the Marlburian. DEAR Sfli,—I read with interest but also, I must confess,
with some disappointment the description of Marlborough 60 years ago, published in your issue of tlic 18th Marcli. It is a description which I feel should not be allowed to pass without protest. The impression it conveys is that figliting and poaching were the characteristics of the Marlborough of that day ; that the dormitories were little hells ; and that the Master was an easygoing old-fashioned school-master who may have taken interest in his Form, but took none in the School. As a matter of fact the Marlborough of those days was, as I remember it, a very different jilacc. Fights no doubt did take place, but they wei-c of rare occurrence ; I can call to mind three or four notable fights, but no more. There was some " Squaling " in the Forest, but it was looked on as bad form ; it was forbidden, and squalors were liable to confiscation. The dormitories may not have always been havens of blissful rest, but tliej' were certainly not hells, and boys could say their prayers unmolested ; while to say that Br. Bradley was a Master of the good old-fashined type must strike those of us who knew him well as little short of ludicrous.
The fights, squaling, etc., which your correspondent describes were the relics of a past age of slackness and indiscipline ; the sixties saw the birth of the great school of to-day. It was a period of strenuous activity, both in Form and in the Field ; while in morals and manners the improvement was great. Ubert, Papillon, Simcox and Paravicini won scholarships at Balliol, while Voulcs and Fellowes led our Ekn-en to our first victory at Lord's. What Bradley did for Marlborough is a matter of history ; summoned to the Head Mastership when the School was at a low ebb, both in finance and reputation, he threw himself with keen energy into the work ; he rooted out abuses, and hunted down the bully and the slacker. He raised the whole tone of the School, and with the aid of a devoted band of Assistants he succeeded in raising Marlborough to that place among the great schools which it has held to this day. There was a story that Tennyson when asked why he sent his son to Marlborough replied that he sent him not to Marlborough but to Bradley. I trust that such a good sportsman and lover of Marlborough as your correspondent is, will not, if he ever reads tliJs letter, be offended by my criticism. As the years slip by we are all a little prone to imagine that wo were wild young fellows in our boyhood ; but I should not like the present generation of Mariburians to think worse of us of the sixties than we
deserve. Yours very truly,
27/3/20. St. Stephens,
Plympton.

SIB,—I respectfully sugest—{!-Eo.)—that before "snob"

To the Editor of the Marlburian.
DEAR SIR,—Referring to my letter of last term, about
jirotccting the (<yesight of those who have to play games
in glasses. Of course pebble is a safer material than glass,
for glasses, and better still is tlie device of an optician I con
sulted at Oxford last holidays. He has jiatentcdaglass which
he claims will only shatter when hit, and will not splinter'
into the eye. He us(!S it also for wind-screens and goggles.
This will interest tJiose of your readers who motor and fly.
His address is G. Bateman, S,*!, (Jornmarket Street, Oxford."
While on the subject of tips against accidents, I may say
that last holidays 1 saw a very dangerous hill where two
push-cyclists had been killed, although using brakes. Theit
fi'ont wheels smashed off. An engineer cyclist explained
this to me, and how to safeguard it. Some of your readers
may like to know.
The use of the front brake either alone, or in combinatio
with the back brake, jars the front wheel, especially on .
rough hill. Some day the front wheel smashes oft suddenlyj
at its weak point; i.e., where tho steering pillar is braze<
into the wheel. Tho rider then of course has no chance*
The remedy is to lix a second brake on the back wheel, e.j,
a back-pedalling brakes on the hub, and to keep the frof
brake for the level or up-hill, when you want to get off.
am speaking of pusli-cycles only. I know nothing of moto.
cycles. Yours, &c..

DEAR SIK,—There must be many like myself who h»T»'
felt the need of some really good photographs of the School,
its precincts and surroundings. I am therefore tomptej
to trespass on j'our invaluable sjace ivith tho suggestion'
that some llrst-class oi)erator, such as Ciillman's, be chartered
to imtnortaiisc some familiar beauty spots. 1 feel confidea^
in aihrmiiig that views of the interiors of Upper School »D^
of B House would be readily marketable. Yours,
C.R.W. (VVe feel that our correspondent is " voicing a long-felt w ^ '
We shall see what can be done.—KD. Marl.)

THK SMART SKT 0|i ' S T . M 0 L I A ' ' S . There was a blu<^ haze of eigarette smoke in the room,
irough wliieb se\'eral figures were biirely diseei'nible. Biteradorf, the cad of the Sixtli, was lounging in tlie window-Beat, a cigarette between bis thin li|)s. He was e.\itiently pndding over the meeting t h a t Lad as.sernblod in his s tudy.
AH right, you fellows," be was s ay ing : " y o u needn ' t risk yoni tin if you're so bally ]>igeoii-]ivored : bu t I tell you t l iat Whit* Streak is a dea<l eert. But look sharp, t^liaps, for t ime Ugetting short." He languidly removed the <'igarette from bifiUps, to iiioist(>n th(>in from the glass of whisky w'hic^b si ood it his side, ft was not long before coins were fortlu'oming : Bone of the Smart Set, no t even Smithvillc, the towering bollyof the Fifth, liked to incur the cad's displeasure, fiaters-dorf rose from Iiis seat, took his liat and stick, and moved towards the table to collect the coins. But a t t h a t inormuit the door opened, and in the doorway stood a tall, handsome Slth Former, f^atcrsdorf hxiked u p : a stHivvl ]iu.ssed over
|UB face and he elic:ke<l Ins tee th angrily. Neville I'ylar-Bbtchford w'as of all |K!ople the one lit! least desired to see tt that moment.
The tall prefect stood for a moment a t the door with brow H black as thunder , and then strode into tin; room. Most l<tile smart set slirank back, bu t gazed with jwlmiration a t fcil leader as he coolly drained his glass, a t the same t ime famng a cigarette froii bis case, lighting it and offi-ring JM to Blatchford. " So glad to see you , " lie said easily, l i t his smile faded as lie saw t h e palo, set face of the other.
" D r i n k i n g and s m o k i n g ! " sa,i<l JVIar-Blaleliford. " I though t you might liav(! S('(!ii the eri'or of your ways now, Bator.sdorf." " f ' e a l l y y " returiKid tbi^ ea<l. " i am no goody-goody nincompooj). Now I sup])Osti you will go and ti^ll th(! Head t h a t your old frieinl is (tarrying on your old hiibits !" 'i'h(! shaft s truck honu^ but N(!ville did not wince. " X shall not 1( 11 tin; Head : but he has restored my profeetsliip this morning, and I meiui io sen; my orders carried out. I 'u t out tlK)se cigarettes !" Neville's voi<!(! rang with au thor i ty . The rest looked slieej)ish, an<l obeyed : hut Batersdorf, half repenting his rashness, sat smoking coolly. The |>refect puUed out his large silv(-r watch. " 1 will give y(Ui one minute ," he .said (|uietly. Tiie seconds fhnv ])ast : befoi'e the (tail's miml there rose up th(^ recollections of all his history a t St. Molly's : he recalk^l his cscapad<^s in detai l oiu^ by oii(\ renHunbering how lu; liad iirst Unni a.ttracted to bett ing, and finally bad fallen (hicp into the snare.
" T i m e " : the stern voice of \(!ville rang out. Kislicuffs had ever been a measure from which his delii^ate soul r(!volted ; now they Avere tlu; only course. Sciizing Hat(^rsdorf by the collar i n ' a grip lik(! a vice, with a (h^xterous t\sist In; hurled him over the table, and on to tlu! II '. Th(' cad lay there s tunned, his face vvhit<5 with anger, his tec^tli gnashing wi th rage. T'lie tall prtit'ect stood ov(U' him. • ' H a v e you had enough V" he en((uired. Bat(U's(h)rf rose slowly to his feet. LI is face was set, and there was an evil look in his ciyes. "Yes , " he hissed : " 1 will rememb(;r this : and you shall renicniber it t oo . " The iirefect tu rned towards the door.
In his own s tudy he found bis minor, (JIarence. " l lu l lo , major ," sang out his brother 's checi'V voice : then, catching siglit of NeviUe's stern expression, bis tone changed. " O h bang, old man : anyth ing r o t t e n ? "
" Yes," replic<l his major : " its t h a t cad fiatersdorf again." " f l a r d cheese, old man . " Simj)le words as they were,
they wiuit s t ra ight to the S(!nior's hi^art, and the two brothers claspcHl hands . ' " 1 mean to get in a,s (Jock of tlu; S(^liool," ho sai<l soktmnly, " a n d if i do, 1 will s t amp out thes(! injurious, immoral habits , t h a t are so o^iposed to all the t raditions of good old St, Molly's : it is my vow."
" 1 know, major ," re turned the other , " a n d I 'll s tand by you througli thick and th in . "
