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

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 .

B r e n t w o o d Q o 1 1 e g e M a g a zinc Squash Rackets SQUASH RACKETS, which made such a successful beginning last year, was no less popular this year. Although the list of members was not quite so large as last year, nevertheless both courts were kept busy during the winter months. For a short time during the British Columbia Badminton Tourna- ment, certain members of the Club forsook Squash for Badminton, but this was only natural. As last year, a permanent ladder competition was organized in which masters as well as boys competed. Of the boys, Hanbury, Wootten, Genge and Stubbs were the first four; while, of the masters, Mr. Ingham-Mope and Mr. Hincks were capable of holding positions in the first six. ' At the end of November, the team played a match against Duncan, but lost four matches to two. Mr. Hincks kindly lent his car for the occasion, and the entire trip was made with only one puncture. On March 15th a match was played against Seattle and the results were as follows : (1) Hanbury lost to Lewis, 1-3 ; (2) Mr. Hincks lost to Collins, 0-3; (3) Genge lost to Heussy, 1-3; (4) Mr. Ingham-Hope lost to Milburn, 1-3; (5) Stubbs beat Borgendale, 3-0. The games were all close, and since Seattle has the best Squash team in the Pacific North-West — not yet having suffered defeat, the College team may feel beaten but not disgraced. Great interest was shown in this match and we earnestly hope that in the future it will become an annual event. HE Badminton season this year was very successful and great enthusiasm was shown throughout the winter. The ladder which was drawn up to afford competition helped to make the game more interesting and was always topped by Mr. Hincks with Oppenheimer second. The whole of the first six entered in the Vancouver Island Championships which were held in Vic- toria. Hanbury won the Men ' s Open Consolation event while Weir was runner- up in the Junior Singles. Weir and Mitchell ii went two rounds in the Open Doubles and managed to put out the Vancouver favorites. Mr. Hincks and his partners were in the semi-finals of the Mixed Doubles and in the semi-finals of the Men ' s Doubles. Four of the team were permitted to go to Vancouver to enter in the Pacific North-West Tournament and this time Oppenheimer was successful in winning the Men ' s handicap Singles and Mitchell ii was runner-up in the Junior Singles. Hanbury was unlucky and met the former Canadian champion, Underhill. This was one of the longest seasons we have had and members of the Club are grateful to Mr. Hincks for coaching and always helping anyone interested. The following were given their colours : — Weir, Wootten, Hanbury, Oppenheimer, Badminton Mitchell ii. Page Twelve
