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

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 Fifteen minutes after the start, the Services were awarded a free kick. Following up hard, one of their forwards scored, but Wood failed to convert. Later in the half, Farrer equalized, scoring near the touch-line. Early in the second half Farrer put Brentwood in the lead when he scored, after getting the ball from a fine forward dribble. Taylor scored the final try after some very pretty three-quarter work, Hope converting. The final result was 11-3. The: College vs. Victoria College: (11-0) — Home Played February 21st. This match was one of the second round of the knock-out competition. Brentwood had gained their previous match by default. Brentwood started off well and Victoria College had to touch down four times in rapid succession. At last Brentwood could be held off no longer and, after some fine three-quarter work, Simpson scored near the flag. Very soon afterwards Mr. Grant got the ball and, slipping through their line, scored between the posts. Farrer converted. Play was a bit closer in the second half, and Victoria College seemed to tackle better and more effectually. Taylor closed the scoring with a fine try, Farrer again adding extra points. The game was marred by the accident which put Favrish out of the game just after the commencement of the second half. He was heavily tackled and a slight concussion ensued. The: College vs. Wanderers (0-6) — Azvay Played February 28th. This was the final game of the knock-out league, and resulting as it did, Brentwood had to resign their claim to the shield. The Wanderers were nearly always attacking and were very seldom in danger. During the first half we held them scoreless, due chiefly to the fine tackling of Bryden. Once the second half began, we could hold them off no longer and they broke through twice. Wenman, feigning a pass, scored a very pretty try. Then an unfortunate accident occurred to Bryden, and Officer scored right at the corner. Neither of the tries was converted. The College vs. Cowichan (14-0) — Home On March 7th we played our return game with Cowichan, at Brentwood. After a hard-fought game, our team emerged victorious, winning by fourteen to nil. Farrer was the hero of the day, and scored four tries in fine style. Hope converted one. Cowichan outweighed us in the forward division, but our backs were superior to theirs. Good three-quarter play resulted in three of our tries and combined forward work in the fourth. Edwards played a very hard game for the losers, while Farrer, Mr. Grant and Eustace played well for Brentwood. Immediately before this game our second fifteen played the Duncan High School team. Playing hard, we scored rapidly and piled up the highest score made during the season by a Brentwood team. De Pencier and Ruttan scored three tries each, and Phillips, Head, Symons, Wilson ii and Peacock, one each. The score was 38-0 in our favour. Page Sixteen
