Brentwood College Magazine Cricket Characters ROBERTSON (Captain): A fine all-round cricketer. As a bat he scores rapidly when set, specially on the leg or on. As a bowler he has much improved, bowling at a useful speed and sometimes swinging nicely. He is a magnificent field in any position and has made a good captain. MITCHELL i (Vice-Captain): A very nice bowler, though not turning the ball as sharply as last year: he has increased his control and is learning to vary his pace. As a bat he is a strong but wild hitter who often makes runs when they are most badly needed. His fielding is moderate. He was an energetic vice-captain. HARRISON (Hon. Secretary): As a bat he had much bad luck, but actually when playing cautiously he is very hard to dislodge, though he scores slowly. A safe catch and a fine cover. He made a reliable and helpful secretary. HANBURY: A very useful opening batsman to whose steady start later batsmen owed much. His forward play on the off was particularly good. A good catch but only a moderate ground field. He was once used as a substitute wicket-keeper. WOOTTEN: Has improved greatly since he discovered he could bat, and when he plays carefully it is very hard to hit his wickets. He is a brilliant fielder with safe hands, good judgment, and a strong, accurate throw. ROBINSON: As a bat he improved greatly throughout the season. He plays very straight, but is a little clumsy and uncontrolled, and is much too kind to leg balls. A wild bowler who bowls very good balls occasionally. IVES: Fills the position of wicket-keeper in a creditable manner. He was also quite a good bat, though bad luck early in the season rather shook his confidence. He hit hard and had the best off drive on the team. MITCHELL ii: As a bat he showed good form and has particularly nice strokes on the off, but does not concentrate sufficiently. He bowls a slow ball with a deceptive flight, which, when better controlled, will take lots of wickets. Rather a poor fielder. SCHOFIELD: A very powerful hitter with a good eye but little knowledge of the game. A good catch with a hard, accurate throw. GENGE: As a bat he has a fair defence but plays a little crooked and is inclined to pull. A very good field close in and a change bowler who can keep down runs. ADAMSON: A left-hand bat who shows beautiful form but is handicapped by lack of strength. A steady change bowler with a particularly free action. A fair fielder. The Cricket Tour AT the close of the summer term last year the cricket team went on a short tour, and as an account could not be included in last year ' s Magazine, it is given briefly now. The tour ope ned at Nanaimo. The team then crossed ' to the Mainland and played a match in Vancouver, and from there travelled to the Okanagan Valley, where five more matches were played. It was in every way a most successful expedition. The cricket was always interesting, frequently really exciting, and, except in one match, we were victorious. The stay in the Okanagan was thoroughly enjoyed — so much so that five of the team and Mr. Cassels, who accompanied it, stayed in Kelowna for the tennis tourna- ment. Though a similar tour will not be possible this year, it is to be hoped that it may be repeated some time in the future. Page Twenty-three

B r e n t w o o d College M a g a z i 11 e The results of the matches played were as follows : — v. Nanaimo Cricket Club. Won — Brentwood 18 and 93; Nanaimo 37 and 72. v. Lynn Valley Cricket Club. Won — Brentwood 68 and 132; Lynn Valley 7(5 and 99. v. Kelowna Combined Clubs. Won on the first innings by 12 runs — Brentwood 38 and 37; Kelowna 26 and 47 for 7. v. Vernon Cricket Club. Won on the first innings by 29 runs — Brentwood 57; Vernon 28. v. Vernon Cricket Club. Won on the first innings by 11 runs — Brentwood 110; Vernon 99. v. Lavington Cricket Club. Lost by one run — Brentwood 42; Lavington 43. That the scores were so low is chiefly accounted for by the fact that we were much stronger in bowling and fielding than in batting, but there was a real excuse in the continual change of wickets, which varied from the concrete of Lynn Valley to the natural pasture at Lavington. Appleton was the most successful bat, and he averaged just 20 for twelve completed innings — a credit- able performance considering the total scores. Appleton and Robertson shared the bowling honours with Mitchell i, whose success was truly remarkable — he took 61 wickets at an average cost of 3.4 runs. THE i st XI. Page Twenty-four
