SCHOOL V. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The School were outplayed at home and lost by a try and a penalty goal I6 pts.l to a try lg ptsfl. The High School opened the scoring early in the game with a penalty goal. and throughout the first half had by far the better of the game. They were well served by their halves and their forwards were far quicker on the ball in the loose and more active in the line- out than the School pack. The School outsides handled very badly and showed nothing of a constructive nature. After the restart the School played somewhat better but they seldom threatened seriously. Queale, at outside half, was hesitant and apathetic and had a most unhappy match. The rest of the backs were little better. The School were placed on even terms. however, when Higgs I scored a good try in the corner. after breaking away from a line-out and running with determination. He failed to convert his own try. This success did not spur the School on in any way and shortly before the end some very bad play by McLeod at full back led to a High School try from the loose. It was not converted and the School lost. as they deserved. 6-5. The side played their worst game of the season. Among the forwards Crofton and Dalziel showed up well in the loose. but behind the'scrum there was nothing but weakness. SCHOOL V. VICTORIA COLLEGE This. one of the season's better games. was won by the School by a penalty goal and a try l6pts. ti to a goal +5 pts. I. The School were lively from the start and throughout the first half had a decided territorial advantage. always looking the more likely to score. They lacked finish. however, and it was the College who opened the scoring. A wild pass in the School centre was kicked ahead by an opponent whose pace gave McLeod at full back no chance. The goal was kicked and the College led 5-O. against the run of the play. The School opened their account shortly before half time, when Dalziel gathered a difficult ball on the run and scored a really good try. which Higgs I failed to improve. L'pon resumption of play the School continued to have slightly the better of the game. but neither line was seriously in danger, and it was not until the closing minutes that the School had a real chance. This was from a penalty far out. and Higgs I made no mistake, with a splendid kick. to coin the match. A general improvement was obvious and the side had done much to make up for their dismal display against Victoria High School. 20

goal line, saved the School. Several times in the closing minutes the School were hard pressed and only poor finishing by the High School outsidcs prevented further scoring. SCHOOL V. ESQUIMAIQI' HIGH SCHOOL Esquimalt High School proved to be no match for the School. who won by four goals and six tries g1i8pts.l to nil. Tries were scored hy Xyatson K21, Stamer. Nloffat. Higgs II. Muldei'. Pollard. Rose. Dearing and Queale. The backs saw much ol the ball against weak opposition. SCHOOL V. OAK BAY WANDERERS The YVanderers turned out a very weak side and the School won easily by four goals. a penalty goal and six tries I-ll pts.i to a try C3 ptS.l. The School controlled the game throughout and by half time had scored sixteen points through two tries by Higgs II. one by Queale, a penalty goal by Nloffat and two splendid conversions by Higgs I. The YVanderers scored a try when a wild pass by a School three-quarter was gathered by an opposing player. who ran through the centre to score easily. After the restart Higgs II scored his third try and Queale his second, while Rose added two and Roberts. Moffat and NVatson one each. Higgs I kicked two splendid goals but missed some very easy ones. SCHOOL V. H.M.C.S. VENTKRE This game. played at H.M.C.S. Naden. was a spirited encounter and resulted in a scoreless draw. The ground was very heavy and the play, mainly of a forward nature, took place for the most part between the twenty-fives. The School. outweighed both in the scrum and behind it. gave a very creditable performance. defending better than in any previous game. Mulder was particularly prominent in this respect. tackling splendidly and falling on the ball courageously at critical times. Higgs II was also much to the fore defensively and had a good match. In attack Moffat did several clever things. but the School outsides were outmatched in pace and well held by some very keen and sure tackling. Forward the School stuck it out well. Dalziel was. as usual. tireless and extremely effective. while the others all showed up well against bigger and faster men. They were, however. with the exception of Crofton. too slow in the loose. IN'illiams I gave a promising display in his first real test. I9

SCHOOL V. VICTORIA HIGH SCZHOOI. The return game with Victoria High School promised to be a very even struggle. but was disappointing in that the High School were short-handed and offered only feeble opposition in the first half. The School. strengthened by the return of Leon. their Captain, played well together and won by six goals and a try 433 ptsm to a goal and a try 18 ptsw. The School controlled the game throughout the first half and scored 23 points. Nloffat. Higgs II. Stamer. Leon and Queale all scored tries. four of which were goaled by Higgs I. After the restart the High School. now at full strength. played up well. and a better game resulted. Leon and Queale both scored tries. and Higgs I goaled them. The High School replied with a goal and a try. The feature of the game was the magnificent place kicking of Higgs I, who converted six of the seven tries scored. None of these was a sitter , and most were from a wide angle. SCHOOL V. ST. GEORGIEYS SCHOOL The School were badly outplayed in Vancouver and lost by 38 pts. to 8 pts. Forward the School was outhooked. and although holding their own in the tight and the line-out were outpaced in the loose. Behind the scrurn it was all St. George's, whose outsides were fast, clever and well together. In addition, they had almost constant possession and were well served at scrum half. The School, forced for the most part to defend. did so poorly. Admittedly they were not in the same class as their opposite numbers. but no boys' side should have scored 38 points against them. Once again it was their lack of condition and their poor defence. especially in the centre, which led to their downfall. Dalziel scored a very good forward try for the School, and Higgs I maintained his excellent form by converting it. and also kicking a penalty goal. SCHOOL V. THE OLD BOYS This, the last match of the season. saw the Old Boys easy winners by four goals. two penalty goals and four tries T33 pts.' to a try K3 pts.l. The Old Boys were very strong behind the scrum and at half time had scored seventeen points through tries by Rooper, Calton and Burnett. a penalty goal by Shipley and a conversion by Fox. At 21
