FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES The season opened very early this year and consequently we had many more matches before Christmas than is our wont. First. two practice games were played against the 'Collegef both of which were won, but in neither game did the School impress. On October 31st the School met Oak Bay lN'anderers at Macdonald Park, winning 1-1-0. From the opening whistle we went in to the attack. and it soon became evident that. with the constant supply of the ball which the forwards gave the backs. we would not be kept out for long. A quick heel from a set scrum on our oppenents' twenty-five saw Higgs II pass to W'illiams, who dived over in the corner. The School then had to defend for a period, but pressure was eventually relieved by a forward rush. Then Barker picked up a rolling ball and, eluding a tackle, scored under the posts. Almost immediately afterwards the School scored again-a pushover try from a five-yard scrum. At half time the score stood at 11-0, but the XVanderers had been playing thirteen men and were reinforced for the second half. Inspired and intelligent running by the three-quarters kept play in mid-field. and the only try scored was by Roome. who picked up a loose ball and barged over. 17

team and their enthusiasm so infected the Old Boys that they rashly entered a second team. The race was won by the Old Boys A team. Branson just edging out a fast closing Rooper, who had previously had little trouble in overhauling a puffing member of the facultv. who shall remain nameless. In the mile Fox quicklv established a lead and, as the race progressed. increased this lead with every stride. so much so in fact that he succeeded in lapping another runner, Moffat, just as he began his last lap This however was a plan, and Moffat, length- ening his stride effectivelv. paced Fox to a fast final lap and thus enabled him to break the School record bv four seconds, being timed at 1.56 seconds. At the end of the events it was discovered that Rooper was Victor Ludorum for the second year in succession. with 14 points. Fox I was the runner up. Bell II won the Intermediate Champion- ship and Fisher the Junior Championship. Brentwood House beat Founders House in the House Competition. The prizes were presented most charmingly bv Nlrs.

The forwards played very well in the tight and the loose, but were not so impressive in the line-out. Our attempts at conversion were weak. In an exhibition game on Qctober 7th, at Macdonald Park. the School again won. 3-O. Rooper providing the only points of the game with a fine try in the opening minutes. Then the game deteriorated rapidly. Robinson gave us the ball from almost every set scrum. but the' backs were too inoffensive. and the team gener- ally failed to become a cohesive unit. Our opponents, the 'Collegef must be congratulated for defending so stoutly with a makeshift three-quarter line which our attack was too weak to penetrate. On November -lth the School won, 5-O. against Oak Bay High School at XYindsor Park. The game proved to be fast and open one and the opposition spirited. Once again Rooper was our match- winner. with a really fine try in which he beat five men with pace and swerve. Leon converted. Robinson won his hooking duel, but weakness in attack and lack of determination in running again marred the three-quarter work. Tozer. however. was steady at full back and saved one almost certain try with a fine tackle. In our game with Victoria College lst XV on November 6th we suffered our first defeat i5-81. An appalling first fifteen minutes saw 'College' score two tries by spirited and aggressive play, the School giving a feeble and lethargic display. A complete rearrange- ment of our back field at half time worked wonders. and Queale soon solved the fly half problem: but we were able to score only once. when Robinson. a tireless worker. fell on a loose ball in the line-out. The game ended on an attacking note but the School were unable to score further. Un November 9th the School beat Victoria High School, at Fernwood Road. 34-O. 'Vic. High' were a light and inexperienced side. Higgs I opened the scoring with a penalty goal. and tries were then gained by Rose. NN'illiams and Rooper before half time. The School played more stylish Rugby in the second half and Rooper, Tozer. Leon and Barker were successful in adding to our score. On November 14th the School inflicted a sound defeat on 'Shawnigan' '17-Ol. the team thoroughly deserving its victory. Higgs I put the School three points up with a very good penalty goal and 'Shawnigan' were penned within their own half for practically the remainder of the game. Some opportunities were wasted, but Nfoffatt eventually dived on a loose ball and the score was 6-O. Play continued to be fast, with Robinson and his forwards dominating the rival pack. Roome and Wlood were prominent with splendid tackles and just before half time Wlilliams scored a corner try after a good passing movement. The School continued to press but vital passes went astray. Eventually Leon crashed through a barrier of defenders to score, and YVilliams again added a try. this time under the posts, with Barker converting. 18
