B r e 11 1 w o o d C o liege Magazine ARKELE: Full-back. A very safe tackle and an excellent kick. His place-kicking won matches for us. SHARP: Forward. Not consistently good, but played really hard and well in some matches. WILSON i: Wing-three-quarter. A fast and determined runner; invaluable in attack and sound in defence. He used his head to advantage. SHARLAND: Wing-forward. A very sound, hard-working player; quick in the loose and always on the ball, with good control. MALKIN: Forward. Keen and hard-working. COOPER: Scrum-half. A fearless player, very quick in getting the ball away and himself dangerous in attack. FRASER i: Wing-three-quarter. Moved to this position from full-back. A very safe tackier. HUNTER: Centre-three-quarter. He was handicapped by leg injury early in the season and did not live up to expectations. NICKSON: Five-eighths. Keen and hard-working; he has an unsafe pair of hands, but promises well. THORN: Centre three-quarter. He has a good knowledge of the game and should be valuable next year.

B r e ii t w oo d College Magazine Brentwood College: v. Oak Bay Wanderers In a fast game, and played on a good field, Brentwood College defeated the Oak Bay Wanderers ' senior team, 14-3. Due to the Rep game, the Wanderers lacked three of their regulars. Weir opened the scoring with a thirty-yard run in the first minute of the game. The kick failed, but five minutes later Arkell converted a free kick. The Wanderers made their lone tally towards the end of this half when Symons converted a free kick. The play from then on was even, both sides staging determined rushes. The second half opened with both teams trying hard. Fraser made the second down, crossing the line midway through the half. The last try of the game was made by Weir, who crossed for his second down about two minutes before the end. The kick was successful. Wilson and Weir, by their runs, were the outstanding players for Brentwood. Arkell converted with accuracy. Hearns and Symons were the leading Oak Bay players. Visit oe the Japanese Imperial Rugby Team On Thursday, September 18th, the Japanese Imperial Rugby XV visited the College in order to take lunch and to spend the afternoon informally with the staff and the boys. Some of the visitors enjoyed themselves in sculling and sailing and in trying out the various boats placed at their disposal by the Boat Club. A few gave an exhibition of swimming and diving. Others were completely happy on the squash and badminton courts. Before departing, about half a dozen of the visitors gave us a most interesting display of jiu-jitsu in the gymnasium. Many locks and throws were carefully shown ; the matrons think it fortunate that no broken necks or limbs were reported from Brentwood boys later in the evening. The visitors were nearly all representatives of the various universities in Japan and impressed everyone with their politeness and courtesy and considera- tion for others. They were evidently members of some of the best Japanese families. All the visitors were delighted with their visit and said they had spent their happiest day at Brentwood since arriving in Canada. Notes on Players WEIR (Captain): Fly-half. A keen captain who got the best out of his team on the field. Sound in defence and cpiick in attack. A good tackle. CAMERON (Vice-Captain): Wing-forward. A fast, hard-working forward; he always broke quickly and was valuable in the loose. BROCKIE: Forward. A very valuable, hard-working forward. A good tackle; he uses his weight to good effect at all times. MAYHEW: Forward. A heavy forward who used his weight in the scrum. McNEILL: Wing-three-quarter. He played for the latter part of the season only; he is fast and difficult to stop. MITCHELL: Forward. Invaluable to the team for his hooking. Fast and tireless in the loose. A good kick. Page Nine

B r e n t w o o d College Magazine Tennis IT was unfortunate fo r this year ' s Tennis Six that only one tennis match had been played in the two preceding years. However, with the school re-joining the Wednesday Cricket League, Saturdays have been left open for tennis and we managed to have five matches, which proved very interesting and instructive to us. The Victoria Lawn Tennis Club sent out six very strong players, who were kind enough to give us some coaching and show us some of the finer points of doubles play. This year the tennis team was chosen from the doubles ladder. This did not prove as popular as the singles ladder, however. The school tournaments took place at the end of the Summer Term, with thirty-four players in the singles and sixteen pairs in the doubles. The singles championship fell to Woods, whose steady game upset three seeded players in turn, while the doubles final, which was played on Speech Day, was won by Cameron and Mitchell. The following were awarded their First Team Colours: — Cameron (Capt. ), Mitchell, Dayton, Arkell, Thorn, Brockie and Clute. We were unfortunate in losing Weir at the middle of May.

Interest waned slightly during the British Columbia Badminton tournament, but this was only natural. As in previous years, a permanent ladder was organized in which masters as well as boys competed. Of the boys, Dayton, Weir, Sharland, Buck were the first four, while, of the masters, Mr. Hincks and Mr. Ingham-Hope held positions in the first six. In February, T. Peers, the well-known squash rackets professional, kindly caire out to the school and showed the first six how to improve its game. A few weeks later the Navy came out. A team, composed of the masters and two boys (Weir and Dayton), opposed them. The match was lost, but plenty of opposition was provided. Now that the sports are amalgamated, and the club is no longer a separate unit, it is to be hoped that the popularity will increase. Page Eleven
