Brentwood College Magazine; Brentwood vs. Normal School (12-0) City Intermediate League Played November 21st. The College completely outmatched the Normal School in this game and our back line was seldom in danger. Two tries were scored during the first half. McLachlan obtained the first after a pretty run and touched down wide out. Farrer scored next at the flag after a brilliant run. Although we pressed our opponents hard, we were unable to record any more points before half-time. In the second half we played a purely offensive game. After a few minutes ' play, Wolfe made a particularly fine run, after which F. Coleman scored at the head of a forward rush. The last points were scored by Farrer, who made a good run and again scored wide out. None of the tries were converted. Line-up: Bryden, Farrer, Smith, Wolfe, Simpson, Campbell, McLachlan, Redpath, Hope, Coleman ii, Coleman i, de Pencier, Johnson, Curtis, Ker. Brentwood vs. University School (3-0) City Intermediate League Played away, November 28th. This was a very keenly contested game, as the score indicates, and only one try was recorded. In the first half we took the offensive and nearly scored on several occasions. Good rushes were made by Coleman i, Coleman ii, de Pencier and Field, while Farrer starred for the backs. The lone try was scored by Farrer, twenty minutes after the play commenced. He made a fine run and was fortunate in scoring at the flag, as he was continually in danger of being forced out . Hope made a good attempt at converting from the awkward angle, and the ball fell two feet from the bar. During the remainder of the half, we made repeated efforts to duplicate the score, and only the numerous twenty-five kicks of our opponents saved them from defeat. In the second half, play was more even and several times the University School were within an ace of equalling our score. However, we did not let them go over. Line-up: Bryden, Farrer, Smith, Wolfe, Simpson, Symons, McLachlan, Redpath, Hope, Coleman ii, Coleman i, Johnson, de Pencier, Field, Ker. Brentwood vs. J. B. A. A. (18-0) City Intermediate League Played at home, December 5th. This was one of the easiest victories of the season and the field w T as in fairly good condition. Good three-quarter runs and solo rushes were features of the game. Only two tries were scored in the first half — by Hope and Field. They touched down in comparatively easy manner, but neither try was converted. In the second half, Simpson in particular and Farrer also played a spectacular game. Symons scored a penalty drop a few minutes after play recommenced. Before time, three more tries were recorded, the first being scored by de Pencier and the last two by Simpson, who scored on both occasions by individual rushes. All attempts at converting failed. Line-up: Bryden, Farrer, Smith, Wolfe, Simpson, Symons, McLachlan, Redpath, Coleman ii, Coleman i, de Pencier, Field, Curtis, Ker, Hope. Page Fourteen

Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood vs. Victoria High School (6-6) Played away, December 12th. Senior School League This game was played on a very muddy field and consequently was a suc- cession of forward tussles. Our backs were notably stronger than theirs, while their forwards were slightly superior to ours. During the first fifteen minutes our opponents pressed hard and only four twenty-five kicks in rapid succession saved us from defeat. Farrer was the first to score, on a pass from Smith. He touched down near the flag after a fine run. F. Coleman failed to convert. Just before half-time, one of their players evened the score as the result of a scrim- mage in front of the goal mouth. The try was not converted. In the second half the High School made a most determined effort to cross our line and eventually succeeded in doing so. One of their wing three-quarters went over at the flag after a good sprint. McLachlan ended the scoring a few minutes before time. He seized the ball from a scrummage in front of the goal- mouth and slipped through to the goal line. The attempt at converting failed. Line-up: Bryden, Farrer, Smith, Wolfe, Simpson, Symons, McLachlan, Redpath, Coleman ii, Coleman i, de Pencier, Field, Ker, Curtis, Hope. Brentwood vs. Oak Bay Wanderers (5-6) Played at home, January 16th. City Intermediate League The College suffered the first setback of the season in this game. It was more a test of weight than skill, however, as the field resembled a duck-pond. The forwards had nearly the whole game in their hands, and very few three-quarter runs were registered. The only score in the first half was a penalty drop kick for the Wanderers. In the second half they scored again a few minutes after play recommenced. One of their players fell on the ball at the flag after some good dribbling. The try was not converted. Soon afterwards, Simpson, in one of the onlv good three-quarter runs of the game, touched down at the flag after a splendid sprint. F. Coleman added the extra points, converting splendidly from the awkward angle. Line-up: Bryden, Wolfe, Phillips, Smith, Simpson, Symons, Mr. Grant, Redpath, Coleman ii, Coleman i, de Pencier, Field, Curtis, Peacock, Ker. Brentwood vs. Cowichan (17-3) Played away, January 23rd. Intermediate League Although the score indicates that this game was one-sided, such was not the case. We were unfortunate to lose Farrer, who broke his finger before the game began. Early in the first half Simpson scored at the corner after a particularly good run. The attempt at converting failed. Soon after, Cowichan nearly equalized as the result of a penalty drop. Smith next scored near the posts after a good three-quarter movement, and Symons added the extra points. In the second half Mr. Grant scored first near the centre, but the try was not converted. Cowichan next earned a well-deserved touchdown, scored by Miller. The attempt at converting failed. Two more excellent tries by Simpson and Smith, neither of which were converted, ended the scoring. Line-up: Bryden, Wolfe, de Pencier, Smith, Simpson, Symons, Mr. Grant, Redpath, Coleman ii, Coleman i, Field, Ker, Curtis, Pugh, Peacock. Page Sixteen
