Adams, the only Old Colour, was elected Captain, while R. A. J. Gee was chosen as VicefCaptain to assist him. In spite of the fact that the School were not represented in the Intermediate League a full season was again enjoyed. In all, seventeen games were played by the lst XV, ten of which were won, six lost and one drawn. Games were enjoyed with Victoria High School, Shawnigan Lake School, Brentwood College, and Magee High School, one of the leading High School teams in Vancouver, as well as with teams playing in the City Intermediate League. The backs, who were well served by Adams i, showed consider' able strength in attack but were very uncertain in defence especially against fast determined forwards. With the exception of Peden, who was at all times outstanding, and Bonar and Galloway who were honest workers, the forwards were far too slow in the loose and inactive in the line out. Their play was neither as clever nor as robust as might be expected and a certain lack of condition was noticeable at times. The following were awarded their colours for the season: R. A. xl. Gee, -I. D. Peden, D. E. Berry, E. E. Teagle, J. R. Bonar, C. N. Sworder, A. M. MacPherson, G. A. Galloway, F. Smith. The full team for 1933134 was as follows: S. M. Adams fCap' tainj, R. A. J. Gee fVicefCaptainj, -I. D. Peden, D. E. Berry, E. E. Teagle. J. R. Bonar, C. N. Sworder, A. M. MacPherson, G. A. Gal' oway, F. Smith, W. A. H. Barclay, W. N. Murray, M. D. Neal, K. Vxfalkem and I. Traill. Dig--

After his address the Headmaster presented Cricket Colours and the Clayton Cup. The Cup was received by Gee's eleven, the winners. Proceedings closed with the singing of the School Song, followed by God Save the King, and three cheers for the School. Cross Country Run Last year in an effort to stimulate interest in distance running the Annual Cross Country Run was inaugurated at the suggestion of the Old Boys. To the winner of this event goes the Old Boys' Cup pref sented by the Old Boys' Association. H. W. H. Walker was the irst winner of this race in the time of 35 minutes, Neal being second and Philipsen third. This year nearly the same course was chosen, and under some' what better ground conditions than last year the race was well won by J. R. Bonar, with Traill a very close second, and Coste a good third. Bonar ran a steady race and fighting off Traill's determined challenge led the field home in 34', 22 , Inter School Sports The Annual School Track sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. was held this year on the Victoria High School grounds and easily won by the Victoria High School with University School second, Oak Bay High School third, and Brentwood fourth. - The following boys represented the School in the different events: 880 yards--Peden and Adams i. 100 yards-Berry and Gee. Shot Put.-Peden and Smith i. 120 yard hurdles-Peden and Traill. 440 yards-Smithi and MacPherson. Broad Jump-Berry and Traill. 220 yards-Berry and MacPherson. High jump-Gee and Traill. Medley Relay-Smith i, MacPherson, Gee, Berry. The School took two first places when Traill won the broad and Berry the high jump. Second places were gained on three occasions, the 440 yards fMacPhersonQ, the broad jump QTraillj and the Relay. In the 100 yards, the shot put, and the 220 yards, the School gained third place, Berry so placing in the sprints and Peden in the shot put. While the School team were but a poor second as far as points were concerned it was felt that in view of the strong competition en-' countered, and their own limited representation, a most creditable showing had been made. .-.11...

First Fifteen Matches SCHOOL vs. A VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL TEAM The School opened the season against a Victoria High School team on the High School ground. and won 18-3. Considerable offensive strength was shown by the Schools back division and three tries were scored in the first halt, all of which were converted by Gee. Murray opened the scoring when he gained possession from a lincfout and went through on his own. Clever play by Peden and Sworder was responsible for the other tries both of which were scored by MacPherson who ran well on the wing. Early in the second half the High School scored their only try after a scramble on the School line, and just before the end Sworder scored an unconverted try for the School, to inish off the best move' ment of the day. Peden, Sworder, Berry and Gee were outstanding on the School side. .101 SCHOOL vs. A VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL TEAM The School were too strong for a Victoria High School Team in a game played at home, and won 19-O. Berry opened the scoring shortly after the start, Gee failing to convert. The next try was originated by Smith i, the School fullfback, who gathered cleanly near midfield and set the backs in motion, Teagle taking the final pass from Sworder to score at the flag. Gee again failed to convert Poor tackling by the High School centres let Berry in for his second try which Gee turned into a goal, and just before half time clever play by Berry gave Teagle a walk in under the posts. Peden failed to convert and the School led 14-O. The School were on top throughout the second half but only scored one try which came when Sworder took a return pass from Teagle to score near the posts for Gee to convert. The School backs played quite well, handling and combining nicely. The forwards, with the exception of Peden, were too slow. Smithi showed promise as a fullfback. . .-lk SCHOOL vs. OLD BOYS The Old Boys experienced some difficulty in fielding a team for the annual fixture against the School and were assisted by E. Player, exfcaptain of the Victoria College XV, and Dowrey of the Schools 2nd team. The School were without Adams, their captain, whose position was well filled by Bonar. 113.-
