College Record 2013
Cricket The combined Wolfson / St Cross team was highly successful, with victories over Brasenose, Keble, New College, Merton, and two narrow defeats by Worcester and St Catherine’s, which placed them second in the Seconds Div 1 league. In the University League Div 3, the combined Linacre / Wolfson / St Cross team defeated Lincoln, Corpus, St Anne’s, and drew against Magdalen and St Peter’s, which placed them third. There were some commendable performances, especially by our openers Kritarth Saurabh and Mohsin Javed (Wolfson), who both scored two half-centuries and were the season’s top scorers. Edward St. John Gillin (St Cross) was the outstanding bowler, but overall it was a matter of teamwork, with everyone contributing wickets or runs, and often both. Our most memorable match was against New College. We won the toss and put them in to bat. We started well with two early wickets by courtesy of Edward, but their strong middle-order batsmen took the score to 159 in 25 overs, a respectable total. But we were confident of scoring on the flat New College pitch, and in the event their bowling was demolished by Mohsin and Kritarth who scored 64 and 67 not out respectively, and finished the game in style with 163 runs in 20 overs. This was a great boost to our morale. Incidentally, the Wolfson / St Cross team won six tosses out of six. This year we are organizing a one-day unlimited-overs test with BBQ and drinks, to celebrate a successful season. It is my second year as Captain, a particularly proud one for me, but I will soon be finishing my course, so we will be electing my successor. Shakya Deb Ganguly Entz Entz began the year by introducing new students to Wolfson with a BBQ, before pitting them against each other in a pub quiz. They were also introduced to neighbouring MCR bars with an MCR crawl, and then to the long-standing tradition of themed Bops with a Uniform Bop in the cellar bar. Merriment 89
continued throughout the year with at least two Bops a term, on themes such as ‘The End of the World Bop’, to celebrate the destruction of the world predicted by the Mayan calendar, the ‘mmmBop’, featuring cheesy music and the horrifying fashions of the 90s, and also classic themes such as ‘science-fiction’, ‘superhero and villain’ and ‘heaven and hell’. The Communist Bop proved to be very popular once again, attracting over 400 students and guests, and raising several hundred pounds for Helen and Douglas House. Themed nights were also held in the bar, including an Australia Day party and a Spanish Night, which followed the Spanish-themed formal Hall on 31 May. Trinity saw us expanding into an Easter party with an Easter Egg hunt, two whiskey-tasting events, a Karaoke night and an Open Mic night, the latter featuring poetry, music and the quickly-formed ‘Wolfson Band’. The success of these events shows that Wolfsonians not only have refined palates, but are musically gifted and full of enthusiasm. The academic year ended as it began, with a free BBQ that was attended by many Wolfsonians, young and old, new students and final-year DPhil students alike. Poor weather, flooding and DPhil theses limited external events, but the trips to the a cappella group ‘Out of the Blue’ and the Blenheim Palace Prom were very well attended. Our special thanks are due to all the members of the hardworking Entz team who made all these great events possible. Erin Cutts 90 Open Mic Night
