L 4 .,.TQu. 1 1, H RUGBY FOOTBALL. 1944-45 At a meeting held on October 13 Carle was elected Captain and Dalziel VicefCaptain. Both were duly appointed. As usual the ground was very hard and the first few weeks of the term were taken up with grass hockey. It was not until well on in November that any intensive practice could he considered. This season's team showed great promise, especially in view of the fact that we had seven players from last year's team. The forward line were heavy and particularly effective on wet ground, hut our three' quarter line while fast were really rather light. We played eight matches in all, won three, drew three and lost two. The epidemic of scarlet fever played havoc with our team during the Easter Term and we played no matches until February 21. Notwithstanding, the team played hard as a whole and with a fine spirit throughout. The team for 194445 was as follows: M. J. W. Carle fcaptj, R. Cv. Dalziel 1IVicefcapt.j, A. G. Beckton, W. M. Riley, P. F. Col' lett, D. J. Collett, T. H. Oxland, T. B. Watt, D. I. W. Braide, D. M. Kreger, D. W. Duncan, J. O. Mothersill, C. D. Morant, M. R. Vidler, P. M. Perram. In addition to the First XV matches, the Second XV played two matches, one against Shawnigan Lake School and one against Oak Bay High School. Both matches were won. Amongst the Juniors we had a team with a 115 lh. limit. We had great difficulty in finding outside opponents mainly on account of the weight stipulation. Only Brentwood College provided any opposition. Some fine talent was shown by the juniors. Myers, Kirk, Hutchison, Riley II and Stamer should he mentioned in this connection. 23

I THE RUGBY XV - Mothersill, Morant, Pankhard, Beckton, Braide, Duncan, Vidler, Kreger Collett I, Riley I, Dalziel, Carlepfcaptj, Collett II, Watt, Oxland FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES SCHOOL vs. OAK BAY HIGH The game was played on the home grounds on Monday, October 16, in very fine weather. In spite of the fact that it was played in running shoes because of the hard ground, there was no lack of enthusiasm on either side. During the second half the school suffered the loss of its right wing, Dalziel, who was carried off the field with mild concussion. Although the visiting team played with spirit, the school had a slight edge on them in weight and speed and did not have much diiculty in winning with a score of 14fO. The scorers were Collett II who converted his try, Collett I, Kreger I, and Dalziel. Mr. Storr refereed. SCHOOL vs. VICTORI.A COLLEGE The second game of the season, also a practice game, was held at Ivizicdonald Park on Saturday, Qctober 21, under ideal conditions. The ground was soft and the air cool. Since the School threefquarter line was sadly-depleted by the absence of Dalziel and later of Collett II, it turned out to be mainly a forward game. Both sides were extremely enthusiastic and injuries were suffered by each team. 24
