Out in the Shawnigan twenty-five. He was tackled five yards from the goal line but managed to give to Cotter, who scored. The try was not converted. The School forwards played badly in the first half and failed to give the backs much of the ball. XYhat few chances the backs did have were badly used. Ben- nett dropped too many passes, and l'erram alone looked to be cauable of creating or taking advantage of an opening. On one occasion Perram was all but successful when he kicked ahead, beat the opposition to the ball and gathered only to lose his balance and fall. The School led Il-H at half-time and had not given a convincing display against moderate opposition. The second half was played in pouring rain and little con- structive work behind the scrum was possible. The School forwards now took command uf the game and completely dominated the loosen play. Two typical forward tries were scored, one by Harrison and the other by Duncan: both came after long forward ruses in which the whole pack participated. The final try was scored by NYhittome who gathered cleverly and dashed through to score after a short run. The place kick- ing of Morant and Shipley I was bad, though the ball was a difficult one, and no goals were kicked. There was no further score and the School won 12-fl. All the forwards played well in the second half, and it was pleasing to notice fiotter, one of the newer members, very prominent. SCHOOL vs. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL A rather ragged game at home resulted in a win for the High School 9-0. Play was very even throughout the first half but neither set Of backs were in any way constructive, and neither line was seriously in danger. There was no score at half-time. .-Xfter the change over the School had the better of the game territorially, but finish was lacking against some effec- tive spoiling-tactics by Oak Bay, and despite good work by Perram, who did his best for his wings the School were un- able to score. On the other hand, the High School turned their chances to advantage and scored three unconverted tries. All three came after long forward rushes-the School defence was pitiful. The School were deservedly beaten. ln general the tack- ling was extremely bad and the backs showed great weakness in dealing with resolute forwards with the ball at their feet. SCHOOL vs. VICTORI.A HIGH SCHOOL This match was played at Victoria High School and re- sulted in a scoreless draw. Throughout the game the School had a distince advant- age, but the backs were totally lacking in finish, and chance 27

E' Z THE RUGBY XV Cottenllothersill,Morgan,Shipley,Harrison,Atkins,McNeil,VVhittOme, Bryn-lones, Morant CY.-Capt.J Perram CCapt.J, Duncan, Bennett Cook Duke dangerous. Brentwood opened the scoring when their pack pushed over and a try was awarded. Shortly after this a Brentwood centre ran through the middle from thirty-five yards, several School tacklers unaccountably missed him, and the try was scored between the posts and goaled. In the second half play was, for the most part, between the two twenty-hves but, controlling the scrums. Brentwood were always dangerous. The School backs were very active in defence, however, Bvrn-jones, XYhittome, Badda and Ben- nett being particularly prominent, and although having almost constant possession, Brentwood were only able to score two tries, both unconverted. The School had played up well, but Brentwood were the better side and fully deserved their vic- tory. The School backs were strengthened by the return of Perram, their captain, reasonably ht for the first time this season, but missed McNeil, still on the injured list. Wlhittome had a good match at scrum half. The forwards were spirited, but not nearly as clever as the opposing pack in obtaining possession. SCHOOL vs. SHAWNIOAN LAKE SCHOOL The game was played at home and won by the School by four tries 112 pointsj to 0. The School opened the scoring shortly after the start when Harrison broke away from a line- 26

after chance was thrown away by faulty passing and irresolute running. The forwards more than held their own against spoiling opponents, but their packing was not good and their heeling from the loose was too slow. Both wing forwards Harrison and Duncan were definitely off colour. Too often they absent- ed themselves from the loose scrums, and Harrison was ex- tremely selfish going down with the ball time and again. Of the backs, Bennett handled the ball fairly well and was vigor- ous both in attack and defence. The wings, McNeil and Duke, had a very poor match being irresolute to a degree, and Mor- row was very ineffective in the centre. Perram alone showed any intelligence. Qn many occasions he created openings which were never turned to account, and it must have been most disappointing to him to see his team draw a game which they should have won with ease and in which they had a very decided territorial advantage. ScHooL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE Playing at home, the School gave their best performance of the season but had to admit defeat by a goal and two tries 611 pointsj to 0. Throughout the first half play was very even with the Brentwood backs dangerous at times but well held by close marking and good tackling by the School outsides, of whom McNeil was particularly prominent in the early stages. After ten minutes play Brentwood opened the scoring when Lord. their full back, ran through on his own from the School twen- ty-five. The School defence was badly at fault here. Following the attempt at goal, which failed, the School exerted steady pressure and were most unlucky not to score when Atkins rushed through with the ball at his feet after the Brentwood full back had fumbled: he lost control. however, and kicked over the deadline. This was a bitter blow to the School who fully deserved a reward at this stage. The School continued to attack, however, but the backs lacked finish, and though both Bennett and Duke looked dangerous once or twice, the de- fence was never reallv pierced. Brentwood led 3-0 at the in- terval. ,Xfter the re-start the weight disadvantage under which the School lahoured began to tell, and apart from one or two indi- vidual efforts by Duke and Bennett, Brentwood were defin- itely on top. The School defence was keen to the end, however, and nothing was given away. Persistent attack brought its reward of course and before the end Brentwood scored twice. Que try was goaled and Brentwood, who, at this point, had not had their line crossed this season, won 11-0. The-School put up a splendid fight against a better team. The forwards played nercely throughout and held their own 28
