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

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 Notes on Players PLAYFAIR (Captain): His never-failing interest throughout the season was an example for all. A determined player, adept at marking his man and following up. BRINDLEY: Probably the hardest working member of the XV. A tower of strength at scrum half. BRYDEN: Full back, small in stature but great in defence; our certain strength in time of trouble. COLEMAN, J.: Hard-working and, together with his brother, indispensable in the scrum. COLEMAN, F. : A steady and hard-working forward. CREER: Has developed great pace and is of exceptional use in that he is equally at home as forward or three-quarter. EUSTACE: Very reliable and hard-working; knows the game well and uses his head to advantage. FARRER: Our scoring machine; indomitable in attack and defence. He deserves more praise than it would be good for him to receive. HASKAMP: An enthusiastic and hard-working forward; a useful kick. Deserving of special mention in that he has played in every match since the founding of Brentwood. HENDERSON: In helping us to win our first game with the Wanderers he was un- fortunately hurt and out of the game for the season. With him we might well have come through the season with an unbeaten record. HOPE: A very hard-working and reliable forward. Kicks, tackles, and follows well. Also deserving of special mention as above. McPHERSON: Our most recent acquisition, who did his share with great vigour. We expect much of him next year. MORSE: His kicking and speed are his strength. We were unlucky to lose him for a considerable time from our line. REDPATH: Alert, energetic, and always in the thick of it. Never forgets to mark his man, and never lets him escape with the ball. SCOTT-MON CRIEFF: One of our most reliable kicks, quick to do the right thing in an emergency. SIMPSON: A very strong and determined runner, he ' more than earned his place on the First XV. TAYLOR: A very capable and fast inside three, always dangerous in attack. WILSON: Uses his weight and feet to great advantage. We missed him sadly towards the end of the season. FOOTBALL TEAM— 2nd XV Page Seventeen
