B r e ntwood 0 oil e g e M a g a zinc In the second half the High School, after a few minutes of play, gained a free kick in front of our goal. The hall landed on our line and bounced back. Fetch, following up the kick, rushed over to score their first try, which was con- verted. A few minutes later, Stewart and Mitchell brought the ball near their touch by a good combination. McNeill then broke through their line to score our first try. This was followed by a try from Wilson, which Wootten converted, and, on the final whistle, Stewart made two attempts to cross, one of which was successful. WOOTTEN (Captain): A very capable captain who strove with great enthusiasm and much hard work to improve the XV. Excellent spirit and a splendid all-round player. FOGG (Vice-Captain): A tireless scrum-half who put his all into the game; steady and uses -his head; a fearless tackle. BROCKIE, P. W. : New to rugby this season; shows every sign of becoming a very good forward; a good tackle. BROCKIE, J. A.: Like his brother he tackles well and should develop into a splendid forward. CAMERON, A. L. : A very light forward but keeps on the ball and does excellent work; splendid spirit. GENGE: Has developed into a first-class forward, breaks very quickly and controls the ball well at his feet. A pack of such players would be unbeatable. HANBURY: A steady full-back with safe hands; has a good turn of speed on the field and is capable of making good openings; follows well to get his man. HUNTER: A fast three-quarter who is developing a swerve. Played in the difficult position of five-eighths and did well for a first try. MALKIN: A steady and hard-working forward. Lacking pace, his chief use is on the scrum. MITCHELL, F.G.: A fast and tireless forward; shows excellent promise for next season. McNEILL: Moved to inside-three this season which was probably not for the good of the team, as, though he is the most difficult m ' an on the side to bring down, he does not pass and scoring chances are lost. Very fast and can tackle splen- didly. STEWART: A very fast wing-three; a most determined runner and good tackle. Should develop swerve and hand-off. THA: A very good hard-working forward, he was responsible for rather too many free kicks against us, due to his anxiety to break quickly, thus overstepping the ball. WEIR: Has developed into a skilful inside three-quarter; runs, kicks and tackles splendidly. WILSON, C. E.: A very fast and clever wing three-quarter, with ability to swerve and side-step. He had the distinct fault of leaving it to someone else on the side to retrieve a mistake of his own, but now seems to have overcome this. Notes on Players Valete FOGG Pratt Fletcher .

The Lower House had much the best of the match throughout. Brentwood College v. Victoria High School Played February 28th. ( Won 9-0) In our third game with the High School this season we fared much better than before. The play was fast ; the forwards did much work during the game, while the three-quarters showed in every way their mettle. Both sides tackled well. Brentwood pressed hard from the start. After incessant pressing from forwards McNeill caught a pass, and, dashing across towards the other side line, scored the first try. Ten minutes later Brentwood scored again, this time after a fine piece of teamwork from Weir and Wootten. Weir picked the ball up on the High School ' s twenty-five, and made a fine opening for Wootten, who took a beautiful pass and crossed the line. In the second half the High School fought much harder than in the first, but failed to make much headway, in spite of a good three-quarter run led by Hum- ber, their best player. He and Cuzner later left the field, but Hunter also went off. For the rest of the half we pressed hard. Just before the whistle, Wilson made a fine run along the sideline to score the final try. None of the tries were converted. Brentwood College v. University School Played March 8th. (Draw 0-0) In our annual match with University School the teams fought hard to a scoreless draw. In all except the first team match we had won from their teams at different times. The two teams were very evenly matched, and neither team showed any superiority. At one time in the first half the University School came very near scoring but we finally gained a twenty-five yard kick. Near the end of the first half Brockie dribbled the ball to their touch, and would have scored but for their fullback. In the second half the University School again nearly scored, while Mitchell ii, receiving a pass, was only brought down within a few inches of their touch- line. There were several occasions where the wing three-quarters might have scored, but they failed to receive the ball in time. The game was, on the whole, one of tit for tat but it was a hard battle and clean always. Brentwood College v. Victoria High School Played March 18th. (Won 11-3) In the final game of the season the College played a very satisfactory game against the High School. The ground was very hard, which made the play fast. The three-quarters did not show so well as in the third game with Victoria High — the outsides were unable to make so many runs — but in other ways the game played by our team was very commendable. At first both sides made several attacks ; in fact at one time, but for the expert tackling of Hanbury, two of their men would have scored. Soon after, Leeming, of the High School, was hurt for the rest of the game, but Hunter went off voluntarily for our side. Page Nine

B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine The Boat Club HE JJoat Club considers this year to be a successful one, due to the ten per cent increase in membership, and to the fact that eight organized crews have been out daily during the Summer Term. Due to the aid from the School, a new shell and an outboard motor have been added to the equip- ment of the club. The N. P. A. A. O. Regatta will be held here by the club on July 11th and 12th. Strong crews from Vancouver, Victoria, Portland, and possibly Winnipeg, will be competing, and all are looking forward to the good weather conditions usually found here. The first crew who will represent the club, in the Senior division, have been training hard, and hope to defend successfully the trophies won last year. The second crew have been unfortunate in losing two of the original members of the crew, but although very light, are nicely together and will represent the club in the Junior division. The third crew will row in the novice lapstreak fours. Due to the interest in rowing this year, sculling has not been as popular as in the past years. Pratt, our best sculler, who represented the club last season in the Junior Sculls, has purchased a new boat, and has developed a long power- ful stroke this year. He will be a strong contender in that division from all appearances, and we wish him good luck. FOGG (Stroke): A linished oar with remarkable power for his weight. An excellent leader of the crew. CALLAND (3): Has developed very good style. A strong oar. MAYHEW (2): Has plenty of power, with insufficient control of his arms. With improvement of this fault, will be a real asset to the boat. SHARP (Bow): Has improved considerably in style, and is rowing well. I I AY WARD (Stroke): Pulls a strong oar for his weight. Inclined to hurry forward but is checking this fault. IIAXBURY (3): Is rowing well, and developing a better and smoother rhythm. WILSON (2): Has very good power, not always properly applied, through faulty slide work. Improving well. FRITH (Bow): Has improved a great deal, and getting better control of his slide. Notes on Rowers f. the; first crew Page Eleven
