Nine members of last years team, including Field, the captain, were available, and with several new boys Showing fine form it was soon evident that the side would develop into one of the most formidable to represent the School for some years. This promise was fully maintained and at the conclusion of a very heavy schedule the team had proved themselves to be a well balanced side who played spirited and intelligent football. Definitely sound and robust forward, well served at half back, and with attacking three quarters keen and able to take advantage of a well and consistently heeled ball, the team gave some most pleasing displays particularly toward the close of the season. The defence was hardly as sound as the attack but the forwards were so successful in gaining posses' sion, especially .from the set scrum, that this defect was not so noticeable as it might otherwise have been. Fifteen matches were enjoyed by the 1stXV, thirteen of which were won and two lost, and of these the games against Shawnigan Lake School and Oak Bay Wanderers were outstanding. All matches against local High Schools and other Private Schools were won, but in a game played in Vancouver against Lord Byng High School, Vancouver High School Champions, the -School were defeated 86. While the form displayed in this match was some' what disappointing the team enjoyed both the game itself and the unusual treat of a trip to Vancouver where they were most hos' pitably treated by Old Boys and Parents. After Christmas the School entered the Intermediate League. Some very keen games took place but all chances of winning the League were weakened when the trip to Vancouver necessitated a default to the Oak Bay Wanderers, and lost when, at MacDonald Park, the Victoria College put the School defence to a real test and proved it to be inadequate. Both The NVanderers and The Col' lege fell to the School later in the schedule but the College event' ually finished one game to the good. -9-

Play was very even during the first half with the High School forwards having an advantage in the loose and the School backs being more dangerous than their opposite numbers. Faulty handling prevented the School from opening the scoring on several occasions but finally Collings, taking a wild pass from Huff meant for Thorne, twisted his way through the defence for a try which Field failed to convert. After half time the School were at first hard put to it to keep their line intact but finally pressure was relieved, and after some persistent attack, good work by Craig and Huff sent McGregor in between the posts. Huff converted and this ended the scoring. The backs, as a group showed definite promise. Hicks was outf standing both in the attack and defence. Collings made a good be' ginning, and Sproule was very active behind the scrum. The for' wards were too slow in the loose but were effective in the tight Massy, Jones and Gook being prominent. AO., scHooL VS. oAK 'BAY HIGH sCHooL This game was played at home and won by the odd try in three. Throughout the game the Gak Bay forwards were far superior in the line out and faster on the ball in the loose , and it was through them that the School found themselves three points down soon after the start. McGregor brought the School level when he broke away from a line out near the half way line and ran through the opposition to score between the posts. Huff's kick for goal was 'charged down. ' Play was very even after half time but the School backs failed to use their chances, and it was left to Field, the full back, to come up on the blind side, and from a scrum near the line, take a pass from Sproule and force himself over. His attempt to convert failed. Toward the end the School pressed strongly but Huff omitted to -1 0-
