Brentwood College Magazine to l.b.w. decisions by the umpire, but Bryden saved the reputation of the tail by scoring a very useful dozen. The Congos thought it would be an easy matter to hit off the runs, but Mr. Cocks clean bowled their first man with his second ball and claimed another victim in each of his next two overs. Three wickets went down for six runs, and soon three more fell to Mr. Cocks, whose fast deliveries were unplayable. Bryden was keeping a good length and was rewarded with the next three wickets. Mr. Cocks finished the innings when he took the ball from Morse, who had relieved him for one over. Thus the Congos were defeated by 17 runs, and Mr. Cocks improved his bowling average by 7 wickets for 4 runs. Brentwood Congos Mr. Cocks, 1. b. w. b. Costerton 13 Martin E. b. Mr. Cocks 7 Creer, b.

Brentwood College II. vs. St. Michael ' s School St. Michael ' s won the toss and sent the College in to bat first. Curtis and Finch opened the innings. The latter played a very useful innings for 19, being assisted chiefly by Miller. Phillips and Forsyth brought off a fine last wicket stand and carried the score from 50 to 70. St. Michael ' s were quite unable to master Miller ' s leg breaks, Gillat alone reaching double figures (21). The side was out for 44 runs. Brentwood II. St. Michael ' s Curtis, c. Symons, b.

Brentwood College Magazine Knight, who made some very pretty shots, was the only batsman to offer any serious opposition to our bowling. Scott-Moncrieff ii and Miller were the most successful with the ball. The latter should develop into a really good bowler if he receives adequate support in the field. Farrer kept wicket well and obtained one victim. Brentwood The Albion Mr. Cocks, retired 104 Knight, b. Miller 31 Creer, 1. b. w. b. Backler 30 Eagle, run out 3 Farrer, run out 2 Weston, c.

The pitch seemed to favour the bowlers and our first eleven, who scored over 200 runs the previous week, were able to compile only 50. Mr. Cocks and Farrer fell Page Twenty-four

Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood vs. Cowichan B (Away) May 22nd. After a very pleasant trip by motor over the Malahat, we arrived at Duncan in time to start the game about 3:15 p.m. The Cowichan skipper won the toss, and once more we were sent in to bat. Creer nibbled at a rising ball on the off and left with the score at 2, but Mr. Cocks and Farrer had better luck and added 120 runs before Farrer fell to a catch at mid-off. He played sound cricket for his 41 without giving a chance. Mr. Round and Mr. Cocks quickly added 50 to the score, the latter reaching the century with a drive for 6. In his innings of 112 not out, Mr. Cocks scored 70 runs by boundary hits. The innings was declared closed at 5 p.m. with the score at 171 for 2 wickets. Bryden and Morse opened the bowling for Brentwood and Leckie made a good catch in the third over, but as the wickets were not falling quickly, Miller went on to tempt the batsmen. This was successful and he obtained 4 wickets in 4 overs for 15 runs. The batsmen again collared the bowling and Mr. Cocks took the ball when time became important. After bowling three of our opponents, he found himself called upon to bowl the last over with only one wicket to fall. With his last ball he knocked the leg stump out of the ground, and so a very pleasant game came to a rather exciting finish in our favour by 59 runs.

Tennis TENNIS has been taken up quite seriously by the boys of the College. About twelve senior boys and six juniors have had some instruction. The desire to learn the game from every angle is always prevalent, and we look upon these promising pupils as future champions. As tennis is one of the most popular games played by all nations, there being no less than twenty-three contesting for the Davis Cup now held by America, it is plainly seen that all the younger players, especially those at school who have Page Twenty-six
