E. Teaglc was elected Captain, and S. W. Henderson, VicefCaptain. Cwing to the fact that with the exception of the Captain and VicefCaptain only one of the 193-P35 team, A. W. Field, was avail' able, prospects for the season appeared far from bright. However, considerable keenness was exhibited, and following some preliminary matches with Victoria High School teams the School were able to to defeat Brentwood College at Brentwood, and to divide games with Shawnigan Lake School. Seven matches were played before Christmas, three of which were won and four lost. After the New Year the weather was most unkind, play being impossible for six weeks, the two matches which were played and lost taking place under dreadful ground conditions. ln addition it was found to be impossible to arrange a return fixture with Brentwood. This was a great disappointment to the School team as the previous encounter had been so closely contested. Apart altogether from the lst XV fixtures the Juniors played three games against St. Michaels School and one against Duncan Grammar School. All these games were lost but in view of the fact that the team was largely composed of inexperienced new boys it was felt that a good start had been made. Several very promising players were noticed, among them being Sproule, Young, Clarke, North, jones i, Boyd ii, Coe and Shaw. Three other games were played, all by scratch teams. In the first the School, with a slight weight advantage, were successful in def feating Duncan Grammar School, but in the remaining games, the School, hopelessly outweighed, were beaten by Brentwood.

First Fifteen Matches SCHOOL vs. A VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL TEAM The School opened the season on Nov. 6th on the High School ground where they defeatedithe High School Reds 136. Kicking off to the School the High School played very strongly and for some time had a decided advantage. Some very spirited play was seen on the School right wing where Boate, and Field, the full back, defended well. The High School opened the scoring after twenty minutes play, an unconverted try being obtained far out. The School then pressed and it was not long before Teagle, the captain, took a pass from his scrum half and scorded after a determin' ed dodging run. He failed to convert. just before half tinme the High School regained the lead when they obtained another unconf verted try. After the interval the School forwards improved somewhat and following some spirited play on the High School line Teagle forced himself over after a short run and scored between the posts. He converted hisown try. A little later following a long run bv Huff and a free kick against the High School, a very doubtful looking trg was obtained, Huff being responsible. Teagle again converted. Dur' ing the closing minutes the superior weight of the High School be' gan to tell, but though the School were hard pressed no further score resulted. Teagle was outstanding in all departments of the game while Field, Boate, Henderson and Huff also 'played useful games in the back division. Of the forwards Spencer and Massyi were the most prominent. SCHOOL vs. A VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL TEAM The High School brought up a scratch team and proved to be too fast and heavy for the home side who were beaten 13f3. Attacking from the opening whistle the High School were the first to score when Huff was offside in front of the posts and from the resulting penalty a goal was dropped. Continuing to dominate the game the High School were on many occasions very dangerous and the School were very fortunate in having such a stalwart def --12..
