Great Excitement at Weir House!

Great Excitement at Weir House!

On Sunday night the boys crowded into the Billiard Room to witness the final of the Billiards and Snooker championships. In the darkness of the room, illuminated only by the lamps over the table and the cheery glow of a blazing fire, the residents, contrary to their usual custom, watched in silence. Bob Anderson, trained to play under a barrage of broad comment and backchat, seemed slightly ill at ease with his role of respectability assumed for the august occasion of a championship under the eyes of all Weir House and Professor Hunter.

Henry Nguta also suffered from a severe disadvantage in having to express his disgust sotto voce. John Love took things as they came with the coolness of an old campaigner.

Henry Ngata and John Love were finalists for the Snooker championship, while Henry Ngata again and Bob Anderson contested the Billairds final. After some very fine play, Henry won the two championships.
