RUGBY IST XV T. Rigos, D. Chapman, H. Brown, I. Dykes, J. Musgrave, G. Stene. R. Wittke, C. Fibiger, J. Andrews, D. Beban CCapt.l, H. Stidham, R. Milner, F. Gardner. C. Whiteside, B. Phillips. RUGBY FOOTBALL D. W. Beban and J. J. Andrews led the 1959-60 side as Captain and Vice-Captain respectively, and, in spite of the fact that the St. George's School and Shawnigan Lake School games were lost, the season was quite successful. Seventeen matches were played, eleven of which were won and six lost. Forward the side was quite strong but too slow of foot in the loose. Behind the scrum Mihier was the best attacking full back the School has had for years, Stidham was excellent at scrum half 3 but the out- side half problem took too long to solve, as it was not until well on in the season that Dykes, a new boy, came on sufficiently to fill this vital position adequately. Colours were awarded to D. W. Beban, J. J. Andrews, H. C. Stid- ham, R. D. Milner, R. T. Wittke, H. C. Fibiger, G. Musgrave and G. D. Stene. The full side was as follows: D. W. Beban, Andrews, H. C. Stidham, R. D. Milner, R. T. Wittke, H. C. F ibiger, J. G. Mus- grave, G. D. Stene, B. J. Phillips, F. W. Gardner, H. R. Brown, I. M. Dykes, D. I. Chapman, T. J. Rigos and C. B. C. Whiteside. 14

The 2nd, XI was enthusiastically led by Rigos I, the 3rd. XV by Windrem and the 125 lb. XV by Goward I. There were also 4-th. and 5th. XVs, for whom a certain number of games were arranged. All were keen, and there was much promise, especially in the 125 lb. side, with whom Mr. Nightingale worked extremely hard and with splendid results. The House Match was won by Founders, who were much the stronger side. W. R. G. W. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES scHooL V. sr. GEORGE'S scHooL Playing in Vancouver the School were narrowly beaten by a goal, a penalty goal and two tries Q14 pts.j to a goal and two tries U11 pts.D. After a period of very even play Andrews opened the scoring for the School when he forced himself over from the loose to score a try which F ibiger was unable to convert. St. George's, better together be- hind the scrum, soon drew level with an unconverted try. As the game progressed St. George's outsides became increasingly dangerous, and the School were saved once by a dropped pass and once by Mil- ner's good tackle. The School also threatened, and a magnificent run by Chapman from well within his own twenty-five ended three yards from the St. Ceorge's goal line under the posts when he faltered, looked for support and was lost. A lunge would have carried him the necessary distance. After the restart the School, favoured by the slight slope, and well served by the larger forwards soon threatened, and Bebzm was suc- cessful when he stole the ball in the loose, just inside the St. George's twenty-five, and reached the line with a dash of some twenty yards, a powerful and determined effort. F ibiger failed to goal. St. George's then had their turn and some very bad defensive play by the side in general and by F ibiger in particular gave away a try under the posts. It was goaled. A little later Stene was offside in front of the posts and St. George's led 11-6 when the goal was kicked. Now down five points the School came again when Chapman went over after a short run and Fibiger converted. They all but went ahead when Milner, coming up to join the attack from full back, took Phil- lip's pass in his stride and only just failed to reach the line after a fine run. The final try was scored by St. George's when one of their cen- tres made a good run and, assisted by some deplorable School tackling, scored far out. Chapman was badly at fault in this case and others, especially Milner, were also culpable. In the closing minutes the School had a chance to even things again, but Milner narrowly missed a penalty and St. George's won 14-11. The heavier School forwards were good and more than held their 15
