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

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.
