against far heavier men. The backs defended well and did some good things against clever and thrustful opponents. McNeil, Duke and Bennett had a good match. SCHOOL vs. ROYAL CANADIAN NAVAL COLLEGE C'A J This game was played at home and won by the Naval College by a goal and two tries tll pointsl to a trv 43 pointsj. Morgan opened the scoring for the School when he forced himself over between the posts. jones failed to convert. After some very even play the Naval College replied with an un- converted try and the score at half-time was 3-3. For some time after the restart play was largely of a forward nature, but toward the end the School seemed to tire, and in the last ten minutes the Naval College scored twice, One try being goaled. Although well served by XYhittome, the School backs were very ineffective and the tackling was lacking in vigour. SCHOOL vs. BRENTXVOOD COLLEGE This, the fourth game of the season between the two sides, was played at Brentwood and won by the home side 29-0. Throughout the first half the School played keen football against their heavier opponents, and were always to be rec- koned with. After half-time, however, and especially in the closing stages, they seemed to tire and Brentwood were in complete control. The forwards played well throughout and were only slightly inferior to the opposing pack. Behind the scrum, how- ever, the School were always in trouble. XYhittome'did his job well but Bennett, though tackling well, was too slow for an exceptionally clever opponent, Perram was ineffective, Cook was outclassed, and the wings were not strong enough to hold their opponents. Bryn-.Tones performed creditably at full back and the blame was not his. Brentwood, especially in the last fifteen minutes, played robust and intelligent football and were full value for their win. SCHOOL vs. QLD BOYS The season closed on March 22 with the Old Boys' game which was won by the School 35-11. The Qld Boys' team was composed of Yancouver repre- sentatives in the main, with two from Victoria and two from Seattle completing the side. From the start it was evident that the Old Boys were not strong enough to hold the School, and almost at once Kilgour put the School ahead when he picked up a loose ball and ran 29

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

in unopposed. Before half-time Duke scored twice and Cotter, Shaw and McNeil once each for the School. The Qld Boys replied to this by a try by Pike which was converted by Tea- gle, and a penalty goal. also by Teagle. After half-time the School continued to dominate the game and tries were scored by Shaw, Duke and McNeil. Shaw, who kicked well throughout, goaled on two occasions. The Old Boys failed to cross the School line in the second half, but Teagle was again successful with a penalty. For the School, Shaw had a good match and Shipley I played a useful game especially in the line-out. Qf the backs, both McNeil and Duke showed how dangerous they can be when served quickly and given room in which to run. For the Old Boys. Teagle showed that none of his kicking ability had been lost, XYatt played a hard game at outside half, and Sproule showed flashes of the form that made him one of the finest scrum halves in the School's history. In the pack the lludec brothers never ceased trying but they were unable to match the condition and speed of the School side, who were without l'erram, Morant and Harrison. The following represented the Old Boys: F. E. Teagle lCapt.l. KY. l.. Gillespie, D. B. Gillespie, NY. bl. Sproule, T. B. Hiatt, DI. l'. Harrison, M. G. Thompson. XY. R. Batten, M. .-X. Grant, M ii. Hudec, T. P. Hudec, G. VV. Coghlin. -l. A. Kitson, C. .-X. llike and M. il. Carle. RUGBY CHARACTERS PERRAM tCaptain and Centre Three-quarterl-Possessed an effec- tive dummy and played intelligent football in the centre, but his chances were few and he was badly supported. His captaincy was not inspirational. MORANT iYicc-Capt!--An average forward. Good with the ball at his feet, but there was no improvement on lastlyeazfs form, his tackling remaining weak and his kicking deteriorating. DUNCAN-A useful wing forward who shone in the loose , Hi: defensive play was Weak and he never improved on last ycar's form. 30
