R. C. Shipley, were elected Captain and Vice-captain, respectively. The First XV enjoyed a very successful season in spite of the fact that the winter was severe enough to render the grounds unplayable for several weeks. In general, the opposition was stronger than in the past few years but, notwithstanding, seven of the thirteen games were won, four were lost and two drawn. Brentwood College and Shawnigan Lake School, both traditional rivals, were defeated easily, and fixtures were played with teams in the city league and with St. C1eorge's, Vancouver, for the first time for some years. The two old Colours, W. J. Shipley and G. R. C. Shipley, together with R. I. Strang and D. J. Brown, completed the best side to represent the School since the war. Colours for the season were awarded to W. W. Price, H. C. Burnett, D. J. Ballantyne, R. J. Calton, T. W. Cotter, D. L. Taylor, J. C. Ciordon. K. M. Bridge. M. I.. Clifford, D. I. Hogarth and R. G.

As far as Junior football was concerned, the season was a most disappointing one. Opponents have always been difficult to find, and when Brentwood College closed its doors during the Christmas term, Shawnigan Lake School provided the only opposition. Unfortunately. owing to ground conditions, only one match was possible, and this resulted in a draw. Inter-house matches, played for the first time for many years, were contested with the utmost vigour and resulted in wins for Founders House in both the Senior and Intermediate matches. First Fifteen Matches ScHooL us. J.B.A.A. OCTOBER iam-Honra, wox, 23 - 3 The visitors were not strong and. in addition. turned up short, the vacancies being filled by School players. The School controlled the game throughout and scored through Brown II, Bigelow, Pollard and Strang before half- time. After half-time the Bays scored an unconverted try following a forward rush. but the School replied with tries by Shipley I, Price and Burnett. Burnett's try was the best of the day and was converted by Shipley I. SCHOOL US. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL OCToBER 2lST-AWAY. LosT. 13 - 6 Throughout the first half the High School held a definite advantage, and their backs. heavier by far than the School out- sides, ran through the School defence twice. Faulty passing in the School centre, and irresolute defence led up to these tries. one of which was goaled, and the High School led by 8 points. Shortly before half-time the School asserted themselves, and when a High School player fly kicked into Strang's hands that player scored easily. Shipley I failed to convert. After the restart the School played with spirit and had a decided territorial advantage until the end. After a period of heavy pressure, Strang scored his second try, fighting his way over after a scrum near the line. Shipley I again failed to goal. Some very spirited play then took place in the High School twenty-five, but luck was not with the School side and they were unable to score again. Just before the end, the School de- fence was again broken in the centre and the High School ob- tained the final try of the game and goaled it. The School did 17
