chiefly a 'forward game, and the next College score was the result of a free kick against the School and a try scored from a loose scrum on the School Sfyard line. The final score was 8f6 for the College. THE SCHOOL vs. THE NAVAL COLLEGE This game was played on October 30 on the fast grounds of the Naval College. The College had a much heavier and somewhat faster team than the School. Our threefquarter line was weak, but it was not until just before half time that Cox from the College broke through from a lineout on the School 'ifyard line to make the first score. McLean failed to make the conversion. In the second half the School play became ragged and the for' wards were not up on the ball. Two more tries were made by McLean and Bell'Irving. Both conversions failed. The final score was 9fO for the Naval College. THE SCHOOL vs. GAK BAY HIGH SGHooL This game was played on the home grounds on November 3. The School while having a slight superiority in the scrum was very weak in the threefquarter line, and thus was forced to play mainly a forward game. For the first half the School was forced almost entirely on the defensive. Three tries were scored by Oak Bay High School and one of these converted. In the second half the School rallied a good deal. The only try scored by the School was made by Stephenson who fell on a loose ball behind the Oak Bay line. Carle successfully converted. The final score was 1145 for Oak Bay High School. THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTwooD COLLEGE This game was played at Brentwood on a very fast ground on November 13. Brentwood took the kick off, but was gradually forced back into their own Zifyard area.

Shortly afterwards Dalziel I went over the line after a '50-yard run. 'The conversion failed. The first half of the game closed with Brentwood going over the line twice. One try was converted. The score at half time was 11f6 for Brentwood. Play in the second half was very hard indeed and there was no scoring for the first fifteen minutes.

We experienced difficulty in finding outside oponents. Cnly Brentwood College provided any opposition and even they found it difficult to comply with the weight stipulation. Our Juniors won one match 11f6, and lost three, 3f14, 3f8, and Of21. Some fine talent was noticed among the Juniors however. All who played worked hardg Fraser, Myers, Kirk and Payne being conspicuous among the for' wards, and Clifford I on the scrum half, and Duke in the three' quarter line. Harrison, Price, Atkins, and Pacey had to be dropped at Christmas, having gone over the weight limit.

The second half opened with two clean threefquarter runs by the School, Dalziel I going over the line on both occasions. Neither try was converted. For the remainder of the game the play was 30

THE SCHOOL vs. THE NAVAL COLLEGE This game was played on the home grounds under ideal conf ditions of both ground and weather on November 27. It was a very hard game throughout. The School kicked off, but during the first half were very hard pressed. Only once was a near score made from a 5'yard scrum near the Navy line. At half time there was no score. In the' second half the College relied more on their forward runs and dribbles than on any large scale threefquarter runs. These dribbles were successfully broken up by the hard work of the School forwards, who, although outfweighted, had some success in getting the ball back to their threes. The School threefquarters played a hard game and gained much ground by well placed kicks. The only score of the game was made by Dalziel I after an excellent run of about 60 yards. The Navy tried hard to regain these points and the School was frequently forced back to their own 25'yard area. The final score was 3fO for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. SHAWNICAN LAKE The Team journeyed to Shawnigan this year to play the game on December 4. The ground was quite soft and somewhat slippery. Shawnigan won the toss and kicked off facing down hill. It soon became evident that the School, while superior in the threefquarters, was experiencing difficulty in the forward line. The first score for the School was made when Dalziel II went over the line after a run of about 25 yards. The try was not converted. A few minutes later a free kick was awarded to the School in front of the Shawnigan goal, but the kick failed. The score at half time was 6fO for the School. The School kicked off down hill in the second half. The for' wards became more effective in the loose and the ball reached the threefquarters with great regularity. Collett 11 scored twice, Carle, Anderson and Dalziel II each once. Only one of these tries was converted. The final score was 23-f0 for the School. - THE SCHOOL vs, BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This was played on February 5, the first game of the Easter Term on the School grounds which were moderately hard and in good condition for a three'quarter game. Brentwood won the toss and kicked off up hill. There was no score for the first 15' minutes, but ultimately one of the Brentwood threefquarters broke away on the School 'lifyard line and scored. The conversion was made good. A few minutes later the School made their only score when Dalziel I went over the line after a long run. The try was not converted and the first half closed with a score of 5f3 for Brentwood. 32
