fatuous to develop one division at the expense of the other. The
outsides are going this season to receive all possible attention,
_but so are the forwards_.

Paul carried out thoroughly the policy here foreshadowed. As a
consequence forward play at Dulwich was absolutely transformed, and
the impulse he gave to it survives to this day. Under his captaincy
the 1st XV had a brilliantly successful season, winning four out of
five of the great school matches, viz.:

Dulwich v. Merchant Taylors; won 6 points to 5.
" v. Sherborne, won 39 points to 9.
" v. St. Paul's, lost 16 points to 28.
" v. Bedford, won 30 points to 16.
" v. Haileybury, won 36 points to 2.

With the exception of 1909-10, when Dulwich won all its school
matches, this 1914-15 record during Paul's captaincy was the best for
a dozen years. Of the football in the school generally the captain,
writing in the December _Alleynian_, said: "Such a uniform standard of
keenness has rarely been witnessed. For this I have to thank the Games
Captains most sincerely. They have done their part most loyally and
unselfishly. The next few years will prove the value of their work."

In a review of the 1st XV characters in _The Alleynian_ for February,
1915, appeared the following:

H. P. M. Jones (captain) (1912-13-14-15) (12 st. 6 lb.).
Forward.--One of the keenest captains Dulwich has ever produced.
An untiring and zealous worker both in the game and organisation,
from which he has produced one of the finest packs Dulwich has
seen in recent years. He uses every ounce of his weight to
advantage, and his knowledge of the game is beyond reproach. He
is sound in defence, and in the open wherever the ball is you
will find him. We shall all greatly miss him, but will remember
that his valuable work for the forwards will mean much to the
school in the future. (Forward Challenge Cup.)

On February 6 he had the gratification of avenging the defeat by St.
Paul's in the previous November, Dulwich this time
