Brentwood College Magazine The College vs. J. B. A. A. (3-3) — Away With four of our regulars missing, The College played the J. B. A. A. on November 22nd. Played on a wet and slippery field, with a very greasy ball, the game became a forwards ' struggle ; in fact, Brentwood lost ground through trying to play an impossible passing game. Our forwards seemed to have an advantage over theirs, but the kicking of the Bays was better than ours. The Bays were the first to score. After a series of good kicks, their threes got the ball and scored. The try, luckily for us, was not converted, the ball hitting the crossbar. After ten minutes of hard-fought play, Brentwood equalized in the person of Simpson, who scored after a fine run. Hope failed to convert. Half-time arrived with the score three all. The second half was one long con- tinuous fight. Twice Brentwood was practically over, but each time we were held back. Several times, too, Brentwood was only saved from defeat by the fine play of Bryden. The game ended with Brentwood attacking hard and unsuccessfully trying to change a draw into a victory. The College vs. The United Services (24-6) — A way On Wednesday, November 26th, we played our return match with the United Services and won easily by 24 points to 6. Consistent good forward work was responsible for the tries of the Services. Our team excelled in three-quarter play and individual runs were features of the game. Taylor was the first to score with a fine run, and a few minutes later duplicated his efifort. Hope added extra points to his second try with a good kick. After considerable loose play, Farrer scored right at the corner. A few minutes later the Services got their first try, using their weight to advantage. In the second half, Taylor scored two more tries, Hope converting one and Farrer the other. Then came the Services second try, when Kinch, at the head of a forward rush, scored between the posts before Bryden could touch the ball down. Farrer, with one of his characteristic runs, ended the scoring with a splendid try. The College vs. Oak Bay Wanderers (0-8) — Away On Saturday, November 29th, we played our return match with the Wanderers, at the Willows Park. Although we were beaten, yet every member of our team played hard and we lost because the Wanderers had a better team than in the earlier game. The first score came after about ten minutes ' play. Wenman, getting the ball, set a passing movement under way and Johnston scored. Wenman con- verted. Held right back in our own territory, we were forced to play a very defensive game. Their second and last try came at the end of a forward rush which we were unable to stop. Brentwood ' s sole attack came two or three minutes before the end, when we very nearly got over. Wenman, for the Wanderers, was by far their best man and was, in fact, the mainstay of their team. Mr. Grant and Farrer were too closely watched. Taylor and Playfair showed themselves to be the best of our backs, and Hope and Eustace were the pick of the forwards. Page Fourteen

Brentwood College Magazine Scarcely had play commenced when Brentwood were awarded a free kick in Normal territory. Hope tried a drop and with a well placed kick put the ball between the posts for the first score of the game. A few minutes later, Farrer made a very plucky run and scored near the corner. Fine play by Playfair was responsible for our next try. Tackled near their line, he passed to Brindley, who scored. Right at the end of the half, Farrer made the score twelve by taking Taylor ' s pass near their goal line. Play was much closer in the second half and it was here that the Normal School looked dangerous. Good work on the part of our backs, especially Bryden, held them off, and Brentwood again defeated her opponents. Morse, taking a pass from Playfair, used his speed to advantage and closed the scoring with a try right at the flag. The: College: vs. Cowichan Seniors (11-3) — Away On Thursday, November 20th, our first two teams paid a visit to Duncan, our first team playing the Cowichan Seniors. In the first five minutes both Farrer and Morse scored. Both tries were unconverted. Early in the second half, Heggie made Duncan ' s only try. Farrer closed the scoring for Brentwood with a fine try, which Hope converted. As usual, good three-quarter work won the day for Brentwood. Our forwards were perhaps superior to theirs in weight.

Brentwood College Magazine The: College vs. Victoria College (11-0) — Home This game was played at Brentwood, our team winning by eleven points to nothing. Play was very close, especially in the second half, when Victoria College made a great rally. Farrer opened the scoring for Brentwood with a fine try near the corner post. Hope ' s attempt at converting failed. Morse made the other score of this half with a well placed drop kick from their 25-yard line. In the second half our threes made a succession of runs, but only to be held off. Our last score was made by Morse, who for the second time scored with a drop. This was the last game of the year, and points scored in this game raised our already high total to 154. Most of the hard work was done by our forwards, in particular Haskamp, Eustace and Wilson. The College: vs. The Navy (6-6) — Home This was purely a practice game and was played at Brentwood on January 28th. After a hard struggle on a very muddy field, Brentwood was able to obtain a draw with a team which contained some of the Navy ' s best men. A fine try by Brindley opened the scoring. Receiving the ball twenty-five yards out, he made a fine run, which put Brentwood three points in the lead. Two minutes later the Navy, using their weight, pushed our men back and Donald scored. To the forwards goes the credit of Brentwood ' s second try. Following hard after Playfair ' s run, Wilson and Redpath shared a try. A few minutes before time, Stag scored for the Navy at the end of a pretty piece of three-quarter play. The Collegk vs. University School (22-0) — Home Played January 31st. Brentwood played its first game of the Senior School League against the University School at Brentwood. It was a fairly easy game for our team and we won by a score of 22 points. The game had hardly commenced when Simpson ended some fine three- quarter play by scoring at the right-hand corner. Following this, he twice dupli- cated his feat and put Brentwood nine points to the good. After several minutes of hard fighting, Farrer scored our fourth try. A forward try by Haskamp ended the scoring in this half. The second half was much closer, our team playing up hill. Taylor scored after a fine run, Farrer failing to convert. A beautiful field goal by Scott- Moncrieff was the last score. The College vs. The Navy (11-3) — Away On February 4th the Brentwood 1st XV played an exhibition game with the Services. The game was part of the programme of entertainments for the Japanese sailors, and after the match our players were conducted over the visiting warships. Page Fifteen
