Brentwood College Magazine Notes on Players FARRER (Captain): A brilliant wing three-quarter, much respected by our opponents on the field. Deserving of commendation for never-failing keenness and hard work in perfecting his XV. REDPATH (Vice-Captain): A tower of strength among the forwards, a really good winger. BRYDEN: A fearless and steady full-back. We were unlucky to lose him from the XV owing to injury on the field. COLEMAN, J.: Hardworking and tireless, an exceptionally good all-round forward. COLEMAN, F. : Like his brother, a first-class forward. The harder the game the harder he works, and always effectually. CURTIS: Slightly erratic, but at times very good indeed. His kicking gained for us great advantages on many occasions. FIELD: A really good forward, always in the right place at the right time. A good rugger head. JOHNSON: Owing to injury did not play steadily throughout the season and therefore at times lacked condition. Worked hard in the scrum and played pluckily and with good spirit. KER: Of rather slighter build than the average boy of our scrum, but never failed to do his best. At times made great gains for his side. PEACOCK: Promoted to the First XV after Christmas. A very hard-working forward, always to be found in the thick of it. DE PENCIER: A splendid wing forward and a great worker. Often to be seen in a three-quarter run, to the confusion of our opponents. PHILLIPS: A good and spirited stand-off half. He deserves great credit for taking, with success, Bryden ' s place at full back. SIMPSON: An exceptionally strong runner and a certain tackle. He promises to develop into a really first-class wing three. SMITH: A splendid all-round inside three. Has developed this year into a fearless tackle. SYMONS ma: A seemingly tireless worker behind the scrum. We owe much of our success to his steady play and clever passing. WOLFE: Very fast and a good tackle; always a dangerous inside three. Did not always pass when he should have done so, but at the end of the season quite forgot that bad habit. Page Nineteen

Brentwood College Magazine to get his toe to the ball and fall on it over the line. Symons failed to convert from the difficult angle. In the second half, Farrer secured our only try. He touched down after one of the best three-quarter runs of the day. Throughout the game Mr. Jones, Mr. Grant, Farrer and Simpson in the back division, and Redpath, Field, F. and J. Coleman in the forwards, played an outstanding game. Line-up: Mr. Jones, Farrer, Smith, Wolfe, Simpson, Mr. Grant, Symons, Redpath, F. Coleman, J. Coleman, Field, de Pencier, Johnson, Curtis, Peacock. Brentwood vs. University School (0-8) Played away, February 13th. City Intermediate League This was the first occasion in the season that we were beaten by the Univer- sity School. The game was very close, and in the first half no score was registered, although both teams battled furiously. Shortly after the second period had got under way, Reg. Wenman, of the University School, crossed our line after accepting a good pass. He converted his own try. Then Cotton, another of their men, scored after making a brilliant run to the try-line. The attempt at converting failed. Before the final whistle sounded, Symons was unfortunate in losing a free kick. However, this would have made no difference in the result. Line-up: Phillips, Wolfe, Smith, Farrer, Simpson, Symons, Mr. Grant, Redpath, F. Coleman, J. Coleman, de Pencier, Field, Johnson, Curtis, Peacock. Brentwood vs. Ex-King George High School (23-0) Played at home, March 6th. B. C. Intermediate Championship This final game of the season gave us the Provincial Championship of B. C. for Intermediate Rugby. The weather conditions were perfect and a large crowd watched the game. Our three-quarter line was brilliant and the whole back division functioned well, while our forwards displayed superior tactics to those of our opponents in follow-up work, tackling and dribbling. For the first fifteen minutes the visitors showed plenty of form and great combination work, but after that they fell away badly and were forced into a defensive game for the rest of the time. Symons opened the scoring by converting a penalty goal. Wolfe next scored a fine try on a splendid run ; he took a pass from Mr. Grant and beat out three men to place the ball between the posts. At the end of the first half we were leading by eight points to nil, Symons adding the extra points. Five minutes after the second period opened, Brentwood scored again. Smith took Connell ' s punt in midfield and returned it. Farrer, following up hard, smothered the attempt to return, and, taking up the ball from Connell ' s arms, touched down near the corner. The attempt at converting failed. Mr. Grant scored next on a good pass from Symons. He pulled the dummy to get by two men, and dodged a couple of others to get over beside the posts. Symons converted. Simpson was responsible for the next score. The ball passed through the whole three-quarter line, and Simpson touched down at the corner. Symons failed to convert. Just before the whistle sounded, Farrer touched down on another three-quarter run, thus ending the scoring. Surely a most successful termination to the season. Line-up: Mr. Jones, Farrer, Smith, Wolfe, Simpson, Mr. Grant, Symons, Redpath, F. Coleman, J. Coleman, de Pencier, Curtis, Field, Johnson, Peacock. Page Eighteen

However, though his loss was felt greatly, the team, due to continuous practice, actually held their own better in matches than the team of the preceding year. A tournament was held during the Lent Term, and Malkin ma. was the singles champion, while Salter and Williams were the doubles champions. The following played for the Badminton team: Campbell ma.
