The College pressed for a period after half time but their outsides were not together and they seldom looked dangerousg their only success being from a penalty given against the School for offside. Towards the end the School attacked strongly and in the best movement of the day Duke took Rim- mer's pass to run forty yards through the centre to score between the posts. Shaw missed the easy kick. A little later Duke made much ground on the left wing before giving to Shaw who ran in unopposed but again failed with the kick. The final try came when Bennett, who ran with great deter- mination throughout, burst through the centre ond ran to within five yards of the line before being tackled by the full back. From the resulting scramble Rimmer, who was up in support, won a race for the ball to score a try which Shipley I just failed to goal from a wide angle. Bennett. Duke and were the best Of the School backs. Shipley I led the forwards who kicked badly and heeled slowly. SCHOOL vs. VICTCRI.A HIGH SCHOOL A hard but rugged game played at home resulted in a win for he School by the only try scored. 1 The first- half was keenly contested with the School having slightly the better of the game, but apart from Bennett's out- standing try, was without incident. This try came when, fol- lowing a scrum twenty-five yards from the High School line, Bennett took the ball from his scrum help and going on the blind side, ran to within ten yards of the line where he was finally tackled. Regaining his feet immediately he took the ball at his feet the rest of the way in the face Of severe op- position to score what proved to be the winning try. The High School had rather the better of the second half and the School were forced to touch down more than once. The School however had their chances and had Shaw accepted a wild kick by the opposition their margin would have been greater. n Bennett, who was very determined both in attack and de- fence was outstanding behind the scrum while Shipley I was easily the pick of the forwards. SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE Playing away the School were well beaten by Brentwood by two goals, two penalty goals, and two tries Q22 pts.l to one goal and a try C8 pts.l. The game was played at a rare pace throughout and while not as skilfully played as matches of previous years, lacked little in respect of the keenness of the football and the spirit in which it was played. 26

FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES SCHOOL vs. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL The School opened the season at home on Oct. 23 against Oak Bay High School who won a very even game by a goal, a penalty goal and a try 111 pts. to a penalty goal and two tries C9 pts.l. The School scored all their points in the first half. Ship- ley I opened the scoring early in the game when he was suc- cessful with a penalty from dead in front. A little later Duke gathered a wild kick by the opposition and ran through on his own from half way to score between the posts. Shaw missed the easy conversion. Cotter I added to the School lead when he picked up a loose ball and ran in on his own. Shaw failed to convert. The High School then attacked and just before half time opened their account with a try by their right wing. The try was converted and the School led 9-5 at the interval. The High School had a decided advantage during the second half. The School seemed to tire somewhat and there was some very faulty defensive play on the left wing. After a period of fairly even play the High School were successful with a penalty from a diliicult angle, and a little later forced the School to touch down twice. At this stage Bennett was prominent for the School, his tackling being of a high order. Towards the end it was all High School whose superiority in weight was beginning to tell, and shortly before no-side they obtained the winning try at the Hag. For the School Bennett was outstanding behind the scrumg but for his excellent defensive play the School would have been overrun in the last ten minutes. Duke had a good match and Rimmer made a promising beginning. Among the for- wards Shipley I was a tower of strength, while Taylor and Shipley II turned in useful games. SCHOOL vs. R.C.N.fR.C.A.F. COLLEGE The School playing at home proved too strong for a R.C.N.-R.C.A.F. side winning by a goal and five tries 120 pts.2 to a penalty goal 13 pts.m, Exerting pressure from the opening whistle the School soon opened the scoring when Shaw took Bennett's pass to cross at the flag. He failed to convert his own try. A little later Shipley II was quick to seize a loose ball close to the line and force his way over for Shaw to add the extra points. A little later Shipley I crossed far out but Shaw failed to con- vert and the School led 11-0 at the interval. 25

Brentwood had rather the better of the first half ter- ritorially but at half time had only scored one try while the School had a goal and a try to their credit and led 8-3. The School opened the scoring when some faulty passing in the Brentwood centre gave Duke the barest of chances. Snapping up a dropped pass he ran sixty yards through the centre to score close to the postsg a splendid individual effort. Shipley I goaled and the School led by five points. A little later Brent- wood opened their account a forward try being obtained far out, the kick failing. Although beaten forward the School defence was adequate and the work of Bennett unusually out- standing. His tackling was a joy to watch and McMahon, the effective Brentwood outside half was fully held in check. Pollard, filling in at full back for the School was severely tested and stood up very well under severe pressure. Shortly before half time the School increased their lead when Shaw scored the best try ofthe day at the flag. From a line just outside the Brentwood twenty-five, Clifford got the ball away Bennett. Rjmmer and Duke both huddled and Shaw finished the movement with a fine burst of speed to cross at the corner. Shipley I failed to convert and the School led 8-3. Shortly after the restart, disaster overtook the School in the shape of two penalties given for oifside directly under the posts. Both came as a result of weak clearances by School backs and both were goaled. From these penalties the School never recovered and Brentwood dominated the second half. In the last fifteen minutes two goals and a try were obtained and Brentwood won 22-8. The Brentwood forwards were far faster and heavier than the School pack who gave a coura- geous display but could not match their opponents either in the tight or the loose. As a result the Brentwood backs had constant possession during the second half and the School outsides wore themselves out in gallant defence. Bennett was excellent throughout, time and again he saved the School when all seemed lost, and his effective and courageous play will be long remembered. Duke and Shaw did many good things and the outsides as a group held their own. The for- wards were overwhelmed by bigger and faster men but the whole side played with spirit and never gave up. A grand match. SCHOOL vs. R.C.N.fR.C.A.F. CoLLEcE This game was played at the Royal Canadian Naval and Royal Canadian Air Force College and con by the home side by two goals and two tries C16 pts.J to a try C3 pts.J. The School were five regulars short through injury but- gave a fair display and had more of the game than the score would indicate. 27
