'19 ...J First XV RUGBY FOOTBALL, 1951-1952 In addition to F. B. Roome. who was elected Captain. and H. H. Bell, Vice-Captain. only three other members of the success- ful 195O-51 side were available. and it was evident that 1951-1952 was to be a rebuilding season. Such a season it proved to be. of the eleven matches played five being won. four lost and two drawn. The forwards improved as the season progressed and at the end gave an excellent account of themselves. The backs were weak. seldom being together in attack and never dependable in defence. They were saved from complete mediocrity by the ability and determination of Barker I. who gave some fine displays at outside half. Colours were awarded to T. Barker. T. E. Robinson and J. D. Orford. The side was as follows: F. B. Roome. H. H. Bell. J. A. Campbell. C. D. Branson. T. E. Robinson. ,I T. Barker. D. Orford, R. H. Sundt. M. Turner. D. L. Mason. H. Shaw. M. D. Kendell. G. H. Jackson. N. T. Haley. A. K. Goodacre. The Colts' side enjoyed another very successful season. both St. George's School and Shawnigan Lake School being defeated in home and away matches. Both House Nlatches were won. the Senior easily. by Founders' House. R. XV. 17

FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES SCHOOL V. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL. DRAWN 0-0 Throughout the game the forward play was vigorous but unintelligent, and a perfectly dry ball was wasted.Neither line was ever in serious danger. the opposing outsides having few oppor- tunites and showing a great lack of ability in the use of them. Of the School backs Shaw tackled well and displayed a will- ingness to run with the ball. Bell. at full back, was adequate. Forward, the School showed promise. Roome and Campbell, the old hands, were good, while Robinson, Orford and Mason put in much solid work. SCHOOL v. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL. LOST O-3 The second match against Oak Bay High School was again disappointing. As in the previous game little effort was made to open up the play and a most abortive forward scramble resulted. In this rough and tumble the School, playing without Roome, their Captain. stood up well. Campbell being outstanding. Behind the scrum the School outsides failed dismally in every department, only Bell and Shaw coming out of the game with any credit. The only score came late in the second half when a High School wing gathered a rolling ball cleanly and dashed over un- opposed to score an unconverted try. SCHOOL y. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL. WON 3-O. Playing without Campbell the School forwards gave a prom- ising display. fully holding their own in all departments. They also scored the only try of the game, the credit going to Roome, although Mason and Haley were closely involved. Behind the scrum the School was clearly superior. Barker, at outside half. and Branson and Turner, the centres, had a good match. The passing and handling showed improvement, and Turner in particular showed thrust. Territorially the School had a distinct advantage and might easily have scored three times without reply. SCHOOL y. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL. XVON 10-0 Throughout the first half the School forwards outplayed their opponents in the loose and fully held their own in the tight. The backs, in consequence, had rather more of the ball than in previous matches, and. though they finished badly and wasted many an opportunity, they were better together than in any previous game. Turner was full of thrust and always dangerous and he it was who opened the scoring. running through a badly placed defence to score near the posts for Barker I to convert. After half time the School continued to have the better of 18
