Of the matches played by the First XV, five were won, one drawn and two lost. The difficulties encountered during the season were many and varied. Cf these the question of transportation was probably the most serious. At least two games in the Easter Term had to be cancelled on this account. And in the same Term, an epidemic of measles prevented Brentwood College from being able to carry on with'their schedule. In general the team was well up to the average. Many of the players were young and there was much promising material and the experience gained will be of great value in the future. Through' out the season the boys played with a splendid spirit which, of course, is the main consideration of the game. At the annual meeting, J. A. Twiss was elected Captain and G. W. Coghlin, VicefCaptain. Both were duly appointed. Twiss left us at the end of the Christmas Term, and his absence made all the difference, particularly in the attack where his aggressive play was of such value. However, Coghlin proved himself a competent Captain for the balance of the season. Coghlin, Bailey, Carle I, Dalziel I and Dalziel II played con' sistently well throughout the season and were awarded their colours. The Ofiicial Team for the season was as follows: J. A. Twiss, Captaing G.W. Coghlin, Vice Captain, R. E. Bailey, D. F. Slocombe, I. K. Dalziel, R. M. Dalziel, R. Carle, W. E. Redpath, J. P. Har' rison, R. G. Dalziel, K. J. Peltz, G. V. G. Prance, M. J. Carle, D. G. Anderson, K. McMurray, and J. A. Kitson fsparej. The Second XV were a good side. In all three games were played ,of which two were won and one lost. There were quite a few promising boys playing for the Second XV this year. Collettl, Collett II, and Bissett are worthy of mention in this connection. 28

THE SCHOOL vs. VICTORIA COLLEGE On November 7 the School played Victoria College at Vic' toria High School. The College Team was far too experienced and too heavy for our Team. There was a good deal of rough play in the loose, and the School backs were too light and easily smothered by the bigger and faster men. Wilson, Smith, and Walker were responsible for the College score. The final score was 12fO for the College.

The final score was 3fO for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE On December 5 the School played their annual match against Shawnigan Lake School.
