Shortly after the start the High School were penalized for offside and Shipley I dropped a good gooal. For some time play was very even but neither set of backs combined well.e However before half time the School line had been crossed twice-both tries resulting from poor defensive plays in their twenty-five. Neither try was converted. The School replied through Cotter who dribbled through following a line out in the Oak Bay twenty-fiive. This was a good individual effort, a just reward for keen play. Shipley I added the extra points, and the School led 8-6 at half time. Play during the second half was dehnitely in Oak Bay's favour but their backs finished badly and the School were saved by good tackling and defensive kicking by Bennett. The School threatened however and a fine run by Duke only just failed. Another penalty against the High School gave Shipley I his second penalty goal and ended the scoring as far as the School was concerned. Just before no-side the High School scored their final try but the kick, though from an easy angle. was missed, and the School won 11-9. Shipley I was easily the best of the School forwards, and his kicking was the de- ciding factor in a very even game. Cotter I and Pollard were also prominent in the pack. Behind the scrum Bennett was. as usual, a tower of strength. In the closing stages when the pressure was keen his defensive kicking was invaluable. Shaw was starved and had little opportunity. Davison, at full back. was not happy, and was most shaky under pressure. SCHOOL vs. VICTORI.-X COLLEGE flnrermediatej An extremely high and bitter north wind ruined what promised to be an excellent game. The first half was evenly contested with play largely of a forward nature. Duke made one or two nice runs through the centre, and from one of these, Taylor who followed up fast, was able to gain possession and throw himself over to score a try which Shipley I failed to improve. The two sides tried hard to play football after half time but conditions- were too difficult, and the game was rarely better than an evenly matched scramble. The College equal- ized before the end, a fo1'ward scoring far out but neither side looked like scoring again and a 3-3 draw resulted. Shipley I, Cotter I and Taylor were prominent among the School forwards, while of the backs Duke alone ever looked dangerous. 29

The College, well served by their halves, scored a goal and a try in the first half and had by far the better of the play. The School handling and passing were Weak, and there was too much hesitant tackling in the centre. u Immediately after the restart the College went further ahead when some very bad running by Price resulted in a try close to the posts. Goal was kicked. The School then came to life and had the better of the game. After a period of steady pressure, Shaw being particularly prominent, this player accepted a pass from Bennett, and running with deter- mination scored at the flag. Shipley I failed to convert. Just before the end the College obtained the final try which was unconverted. The School, while not good enough to win, had the luck of the game against them, particularly when Price appeared to have won a race for the ball in the College in-goal and a touch down was awarded. SCHOOL vs. SH.xwN1C.aN LAKE SCHOOL Playing away the School defeated Shawnigan Lake School by 3 goals and a try Q18 pts.J to COD. For some time play was very even but mid way through the half the School opened their account when Rimmer found an opening. Dashing through, he gave to Duke who ran from half way to score between the posts for Shipley I to convert. A little later Bennett blocked a kick near the Shawfnigan line and won a race fro the ball to put the School further ahead. Shipley I failed to convert. Just before half time Bennett scored his second try-a sure determined run through the centre putting him over between the posts for Shipley I to add the extra points. The second half was much more even. Shawnigan, Whose forwards packed well and heeled quickly, gave a good display and threatened several times. In addition they were awarded a penalty under the School posts but the kick was missed. The only try of the second half came when Duke kicked up a loose ball and sped down the wing to cross at the flag and score between the posts. Shipley I kicked his third goal, and the School won 18-0. Tne backs while good individually, were not well together, and Shaw was badly neglected during the second half. SCHOOL vs. CAR BAY HIGH SCHOOL This was the second game of the season between the sides and this time victory went to the School by a goal and two penalty goals C11 pts.J to three tries C9 pts.D. 28

THE RUGBY XV SCHOOL rs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This game was played at home under apalling' Weather and ground conditions and resulted in a scoreless draw. Play was entirely of a forward nature and some very strenuous work was put in by both sides. Behind the scrum the School gave the impression that under decent conditions they would be more effective. Play during the first half was slightly in the School's favour, while after half time the ball seldom left the area between the twenty-five yard line. Both sides tried their level best, and with some success, to make a game of it. The Shipley brothers and Cotter I were outstanding for the School. SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE Played on the School grounds this game was as usual contested with rare spirit, and won by the School by two tries 16 pts.l to O. The ball was a diliicult one, but no rain fell during the game and some three quarter Work was seen. 30
