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.

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 The Boat Club PERHAPS the greatest physical asset of the College is its situation on the south end of the beautiful Saanich Arm. To take full advantage of this and to encourage aquatic sports, Mr. Cocks saw the possibilities of the organization of a boat club. The suggestion was met by the approval of some forty boys and the club came into being. In this they received the hearty support of the Governors, the Headmaster and the Staff. At the present time there are seventy-two members and five life-members. The president for the first year, F. Coleman, has had a difficult position to fill and has carried out his duties efficiently. F. Smith, captain of boats, who is also the stroke of the college crew, must feel well satisfied with the success of the undertaking, for much interest is taken in rowing and the College crews have reached a very creditable standard. The secretary, E. Simpson, and the treasurer, D. Campbell, have done their share of the work well and when they see two or three sailing boats and four fours in action they must know that their efforts have not been in vain. These officers have had splendid support from the other members of the executive, D. Johnson and K. Symons. The new equipment purchased by the club consists of two light-weight lap- streak fours with oars, purchased from Messrs. Sims Co., Putney, one coaching boat and two kitten-class sailing boats in good condition. The club has also kept the old boats in action and has bought two sets of new oars. The annual general meeting of the Boat Club was held on Saturday, June 26th. The following officers were elected for next year : — President, Simpson ; Captain, Symons ma ; Secretary, Nickson ; Treasurer, Gilbert. Racks On March 19th, our first crew took part in the annual University Spring Regatta at Vancouver. In a three-quarter mile race against a strong crew from the University of B. C. the Brentwood crew gained the lead as the result of a fine start and held it until the last fifty yards, when the older and more experienced opponents overcame this disadvantage to win by the narrow margin of one foot. Our crew, consisting of Mason-Rooke (bow), Coleman mi (2), Simpson (3), and Smith (stroke), are to be congratulated on this fine performance over a difficult course against a senior crew. On May 22nd, two of our crews appeared at the regatta held at the Gorge, Victoria. In the first race, Redpath replaced Mason-Rooke at bow and Robinson was added as cox. The crew won their heat against a Vancouver crew by half a length, in spite of a poor course steered by Robinson and a strange boat with fixed rowlocks, which rather upset the style. Our second string consisted of Nickson (bow), Matthews (2), Pease ma (3), Furber (stroke), and Fogg (cox). They rowed with good style, but were beaten by the length of their canvas by a heavier and older J. B. A. A. crew. In the final our first crew improved their style and won handily by V lengths, each member of the crew receiving a silver cup as a memento of the event. Page Twenty-one
