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

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
