WITH six old colours to call upon Robertson had a strong nucleus round which to build his cricket eleven, and he is to be congratulated on having captained quite the strongest team that Brentwood has yet had. It is particularly satisfactory to record that the strength of the team continued down to the last man. There was no batting tail, very little weakness in the fielding, and two of the last three colours were several times called upon to bowl. As in the previous season, the team played matches without the aid of Masters against senior men ' s teams, and the only defeat suffered was at the hands of Cowichan, when all the luck went against us. In the return match we piled up a total of 230, the highest yet made by the school, to win by a large margin. Another record was made in the match against University School, when Robertson hit up 90, the highest individual score made at Brentwood. But even more encouraging batting was seen against the Waterloo Club, when, after the earlier batsmen had not done very well, the last five wickets put on over 100. As was expected, Mitchell ma. proved again to be our most useful bowler : we were not so dependent on him as we were last year, for Robertson improved enough to run him close in the averages, and there were several other bowlers who could have been used more if needed. The fielding of the team was again of a high standard, as indeed it always should be at a school. The season has not been so successful for the 2nd XI and Juniors. It was more difficult than usual to arrange matches, and only three were played by the second and one by the third. The second won a close match against Shawnigan Lake School and lost two close matches against University School second. For them Weir made a hard-working and capable captain, and the following were given colours : Young, Shallcross, Stubbs, Archibald, Mayhew, McNeill, Tha, and Cleat. The third team played one match against University School third and were rather badly beaten. It is very much to be hoped that a higher standard will Page Twenty

B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine had represented the Vancouver in sports, expressed his admiration for the way in which Brentwood played their games. The three hearty cheers and a tiger which followed showed the esteem in which the school held the seamen. The next morning H. M. C. S. Vancouver steamed out of Brentwood waters. Everyone was very sorry to see her go, and all windows and the Point were tilled with boys trying to get a last glimpse of the destroyer which had given them such an excellent time. Chapel Services The following clergy very kindly took services at the College this year :— The Right Rev. C. B. Schofield, Bishop of Columbia; The Very Rev. Dean Quainton ; Rev. J. S. A. Bastin ; Rev. S. Ryall ; Rev. F. C. Chapman; Rev. N. E. Smith ; Rev. T. M. Hughes ; Rev. O. L. Jull ; Rev. T. Clayton. in the rim Ft w C MAY scc . Page Nineteen

B r e n t w o o d College Magazine be reached by the lower school another year, and this can best be brought about if seniors do their share in coaching and inspiring new boys with the knowledge and spirit of the game. It has not proved possible to arrange for the first team to go on tour this year, but the idea is still in mind for another year. It was hoped for a while that Ridley College would be coming to the West Coast and that a match could be arranged with them. This would have been a particularly interesting event, as Ridley is generally admitted to be the strongest cricket school in the East. Unfortunately they were unable to come this year, and the meeting with them remains something to look forward to for the future. Brentwood v. Cowichan Cowichan Freeman, c. Mitchell i, b.
