SCHOOL v. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL Playing at home the School defeated Victoria High School by four goals and two tries C24 pointsj to two goals and a penalty goal Q13 pointsj. The High School were strong forward and a much more even game than the score indicates resulted. They opened the scoring early, when some good play in the loose and some hesitant School defence gave them a try under the posts, which was converted. Windrem opened the School account when he picked up a loose ball near the line and dived over. Stene failed to convert but was more successful with Rigos' try, which was scored when the scrum pushed over. just before half time the High School drew level when Stene was offside and the penalty was kicked. The School went ahead after half time with tries by Phillips, Mousel and Dykes. Of these Mousel's was a very good one coming after a fine opening by Dykes and a timely pass by Tassin, Stene goaled two of the three tries. The High School came back strongly and were rewarded when some shocking defensive play, with Huston especially guilty, gave away a try near the posts. Goal was kicked. Windrem completed the scoring with his second try of the game and Tassin converted with the last kick of the match. SCHOOL v. OLD BOYS The School were successful against the Old Boys, two from Van- couver, one from Tacoma and the remainder from Victoria, by four goals and a try C23 pointsj to a goal, a penalty goal and two tries C14 pointsj. The game was of fair calibre in view of the inexperience of the School side and the normal lack of condition common to Old Boys teams. Dykes, Chapman and Phillips scored tries for the School in the first half and Abel converted on two occasions. Chris', Pollard replied for the Old Boys with a try, but the School had enjoyed a wide advantage. After half time Stene scored for the School for Tassin to convert, and the scrum pushed over another try, for which Angus II received the credit. This was converted by Abel. For the Old Boys Calton and Beban scored tries, one of which was converted by Lund, who was also successful with a penalty goal. SCHOOL v. A VICTORIA COLLEGE XV The College brought a reinforced 2nd. XV and the sides played in pouring rain to a 3-3 draw. A more difficult ball to hold could not have been found and passing was seldom attempted by either side. The College did score a three- quarter try late in the first half, and they appeared to be winning when, late in the game, from a line-out near the College line, a visiting forward was foolish enough to knock the ball back to his half, Angus II and Windrem were through in a flash, the former winning the race for the welcome gift to give the School a draw. 22

ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL The School were defeated in Vancouver, scoring a goal ffive pointsl to their opponents' two goals and two tries C16 pointsl. From the opening whistle play was very even, the lighter School pack holding their own well. The backs also looked dangerous on occasion, with Chapman impressive on the wing. After both sides had had their chances the School finally opened the scoring and, as usual, Dykes paved the way. From a scrum on the St. George's twenty-five he took a pass from Huston in his stride, sold a brilliant dummy and went straight through the middle. He was brought down on the goal line and from the scrum which followed Huston threw himself over between the posts, for Abel to goal. Shortly before half time St. George's scored, and the scores were level when goal was kicked. Dykes, who had been injured, retired at half time and took no further part in the game. Stene was taken from the pack to fill in at outside half, but this resulted in weakening the forwards and from then on St. George's were on top. The School struggled rnanfully but were forced to concede a goal and two tries. As a team St. George's were better together and were likely winners, but with only fourteen men after half time and without the services of their outstanding performer the School had really given a good account of themselves. 23
