Field was elected Captain and it was found that eleven of last years team were available to assist him. As the season progressed it was seen that although the team was undoubtedly strong forward, a very decided weakness existed behind the scrum. Teagle, last year's brilliant captain, was sadly missed and lack of cohesion and thrust in .attack was most obvious, while the defence was far from reliable. ' In all nine matches were played, four of which were won and five lost, but it was unfortunate that the weather prohibited all but two games after the New Year as under normal conditions the team is at its best in February. The best form was displayed in the two matches against the other private schools, a very strenuous game at Brentwood being won 11f3, and an equally bitter struggle against Shawnigan Lake lost in the closing minutes Sfll. - Colours for the season were awarded to W. Sproule, R. gl. Huff, F. W. Boate and F. H. S. Pott. The full team for 193667 was as followszefx. NV. Field, H. Maurer, D. H. Massy, R. C. lxlassy, F. H. S. Pott, F. VV. Boate, W. Sproule. R. J. Huff, P. XV. Jeanneret. C. G. Smith, J. D. Hunter, C. Thorne, A. XV. Everett, V. XV. Gagnon and R. F. Cook. In addition to the lst XV matches the Znd XV played once against Shawnigan Lake School losing badly, and the juniors enjoyed games with Brentwood and St. Michaels School. Some exceptionally fine talent was noticed among the juniors, Coe, Young ii, Jonesi and Escobar being outstanding, while Travis, O'Neil, Jones ii, Usher, North, Soulsby, Clarke and Cupples were also very promising. ,.9,.

First Fifteen Matches SCHOOL vs. CANADIAN SCOTTISH REGIMENT The Canadian Scottish provided the opposition for the opening game which was played at Work Point Barracks and resulted in the defeat of the School 11 points to S. Play was ragged to a degree throughout the first half but the Scottish forwards were a bustling lot and were successful early in the game with an unconverted try. The School equalized just before half time when Boate obtained possession and ran through from half way on his own, a determined effort. The kick for extra points failed. Immediately after the restart the School went into the lead when bad play by the Scottish- on their own line let the School forwards in and Gagnon scored for Field to add the extra points. Shortly after this the Scottish drew level with a forward try which came as the result of shocking defensive play by the School. The try was conf verted. just before the end the Scottish scrum half went around the blind side to score the winning try. Field was easily the pick of the School backs, while among the forwards Massy i, Pott, and Massy ii were outstanding. O SCHOOL vs. ST. LOUIS COLLEGE The School, dropping four first team regulars, defeated St. Louis College 9fO in a very ragged game. Boate scored a good try in the first half and Huff added two more in the second half, the first after Field had made the opening. Field at fullfback was good and Boate did well at rightfwing but the rest of the backs were poor. Amongst the forwards Maureri was excellent, while Massy ii, Pott and Gagnon also did good work. .HO-.. SCHOOL vs. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL BLUES A spirited game played at the School resulted in a win for the visitors by the only try scored. The School were slow to settle down and throughout the first half which was scoreless the High School had a definite advantage. The backs were not together in attack and apart from Boate and Field were far from resolute in defence. The forwards played hard and held their own.
