home game against Shawnigan Lake School was won, but a 3-O loss was sustained in the return. The School was successful against Oak Bay High School. Once again the School was represented by an excellent Coltls side. Little in the way of opposition could be found for them at their weight. All four matches against other Private Schools, two against Shawnigan Lake School and two against St. George's School, were won easily. Brentwood House won the Senior House Match easily, while Founders' House were successful in the Junior game. R.W. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES SCHOOL v. H.M.C.S. ONTARIO The lst. XV opened the season at home on Oct. 21, their oponents being a team composed mainly of Officers from H.M. OS. Ontario and captained by Lieut. B. Young. A very even game resulted, the School winning by a goal and a try C8 pts.j to two tries 46 ptsjl. The School started well. and it was not long before Tyson crossed on the left wing to finish off a nice passing movement. Squire failed to kick the goal. A little later Calton, the School outside half, ran through the middle from 25 yards out, selling the dummy cleverly to score between the posts. Squire added the extra points. The opposition then exerted pressure, and shortly before half time Jack Gibbs, taking the ball at his feet, forced himself through the loose to score an unconverted try. Play was very even throughout the second half. For the School Calton was always very dangerous but he was not strongly supported. Shortly before the end. after Shaw had twice saved the School. a forward try was conceded. This was not converted and the School won 8-6. Calton was outstanding both in attack and defence. Bell, at full back, also had a good match. kicking with reasonable length and accuracy. Of the forwards, Klorgan, Squire and Campbell were the pick. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The School were at home to Shawnigan Lake School and won by two goals and two tries 116 pts.l to two tries 16 pts.j. The game opened at a fast pace and the School pressed im- mediately. From the first set scrum Calton obtained possession and ran strongly through the centre on his own, and a little later he appeared to have scored at the flag after another splendid effort. The try was not allowed, but the School did not have long to wait for their first success as Kingham, playing scrum half, 16
