Brentwood C o liege Magazine UR first season was successful, but our second was even more so, as will be seen from the following pages. We failed to win the Intermediate League by only a very narrow margin, going down to defeat before the shock troop tactics of heavy and worthy opponents, the Oak Bay Wanderers. Our opponents in practically all the League and First XV games were heavier than ourselves, and our success may be attributed to team work and spirit. The Second and Third XVs did as well in their games as the First, and will provide very promising material for next season. In the following notes on those who played regularly for the First XV, an absence of criticism will be noticed. This omission was undoubtedly justly earned.

Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood My School — such words are often heard; We, too, shall use them later on, When memories are rather blurred, Of happy school-days, come and gone. The pride we have in our Old School Is born of many qualities ; Of pride in work, respect for rule, Of manliness in jollities. If we take pride in all our acts, We ' ll build tradition first of all ; And then we ' ll add to all the facts That make our Tower of Honour tall. So let us each do what we can, To pass the torch of learning on, That by it, boy may turn to man, And think of Brentwood when he ' s gone. P. H. KkElinc,. Page Nine

Brentwood College Magazine The: College: vs. The: Normal School (24-0) — Away Played October 11th. This was the first match of the season and the Normal XV was rather in- experienced and lacked practice. The two features of the game were the splendid heeling of our forwards in the scrum, and the speed of the Brentwood threes. Brentwood started with a rush and for the first few minutes our forwards kept the ball in their twenty-five. After some pretty three-quarter work, Playfair got over an d Mr. Grant converted. Following the kick-off, our forwards did some very effective work and Wilson i scored, Hope converting. For the next few minutes Brentwood was pressed back, the Normal forwards fighting hard. However, our threes soon broke away and Farrer got over near the flag. Hope failed to convert and the whistle blew with the score 13-0 for half-time. Our opponents were much better in the second half and for the first time began to look dangerous. After this they made another rush and very nearly scored. Mr. Grant gave our threes an opening and, after a long run, Haskamp, one of the forwards, scored. Brentwood threes again got the ball and this time Taylor slipped over. Farrer converted from a very awkward angle and the whistle for time went with the score 24 to 0. The: College; vs. United Services (35-3) — Home Played October 18th Less than two min utes after the United Services had kicked off, one of their threes missed a pass and Playfair, following up hard, scored the first try. Farrer converted it. Almost immediately our backs got the ball again and Farrer ran across. A few minutes later, Taylor slipped over for our third try. Then for a moment we were held back, but a fine rush by our forwards broke up the attack and at the same time allowed Playfair to get across between the posts. Farrer again converted. Wilson scored the last try of this half, at the head of a forward rush. Following the resumption of play, Farrer got the ball and scored right at the flag. The Services played much harder in this half, and after several minutes of hard fighting, Kinch, for the Navy, scored a well-earned try. Next, Henderson passed to Taylor, who scored, Farrer converting. Two fine tries were scored by Mr. Grant towards the end of play, one of which Farrer converted. The game ended with the Services pressing hard, and a final score of 35-3 in our favour. The College vs. The . B. A. A. (17-0)— Home Played October 25th. The game opened with the Bays attacking hard, but persistent good kick- ing by Brentwood held them off. A three-quarter run from centre gave Farrer a chance, which he took, scoring near the flag, and then converted his own try. A few minutes later Farrer duplicated his feat and, after considerable hard play, half-time arrived with the score 8-0. Page Eleven
