COLTS FIFTEEN On the whole it was a satisfactory season and some good Rugby was played, particularly behind the scrum. The forward play, how- ever, was neither clever enough nor spirited enough, and certain mem- bers of the pack have yet to learn to get stuck inf' all the time, rather than from time to time. Playing against Independent Schools the Side was always at a weight disadvantage, and, with the forwards never in the ascendant, some very promising backs were always struggling. Oakley captained the Side ably, and his loss, through serious injury soon after Christmas, was a heavy blow. Results of the Independent School games were as follows: School v. Brentwood College, lost 5-15 School v. Brentwood College, lost 8-20 School v. St. George's School, lost 0-11 School v. St. Georgels School, won 12-3 School v. Shawnigan Lake School, lost 0-13 School v. Shawnigan Lake School, lost 0-15 Matches, all of which were won, were played against various Public Schools in the area. W.R.G.W. JUNIOR COLTS FIFTEEN The Junior Colts Fifteen had a relatively successful season, with victories over Brentwood, Shawnigan, St. Georgels, Central Junior High and Mount View Junior High. Features of the team play were determined running by the backs and hard scrummaging by the forwards. However, the tackling was poor on many occasions, and this resulted in matches being lost that could easily have been won. Outstanding performers were Hopkins, whose running was a great asset, Pappajohn, who proved a very useful centre, and, amongst the forwards, Dykes, McLean and Spicer, who were consistently hard- working. The results were as follows: School v. Mount View High School, won 21-0 School v. Central Junior High School, won 10-0 School v. Brentwood College, won 13-3 School v. Brentwood College, lost 3-6 School v. Shawnigan Lake School, won 6-3 School v. Shawnigan Lake School, lost 3-6 School v. St. George's School, lost 6-18 School v. St. Ceorge's School, won 8-3 The Team consisted of: Spicer CCaptainj, McPhee, Bennett, Cerdes, Pappajohn, Hopkins, Thomas, Dyson II, Lang, Vallance, Dykes Keelan, McLean H and Whyard. D.G.W. 29

Taylor, Captain. FOURTH FIFTEEN The season did begin with some promise, but yet again we were plagued by a shortage of players, many of whom were pressed into service with the 3rd. XV, with a consequent weakening of the Fourths. However, I should like to commend both Teams for the manner in which they practised and took the Field, and in particular do I thank Scott Taylor for the very Fine way in which he captained the Thirds. s.J.H.w.
