Brent w o o d College M a g a z i h e Badminton THE school passed a very successful year for Badminton, due to the efforts of Mr. Hincks in coaching the hoys and especially the team. As the year before, the ladder proved very popular, being topped by Mr. Hincks, with Mitchell or Weir second. The school was successful in the only match of the year, which was against the J. B. A. A.. The team was granted permission to witness the exhibition given by the touring English players. Mr. Hincks was one of the Victoria players to play against them ; he also won the Victoria City singles and mixed doubles, and was runner-up for the men ' s doubles, with his partner. The school was rather successful in the Island tournament, Mitchell and Weir being runners-up for the men ' s open doubles. Weir won the consolation singles. Mr. Hincks and partner were runners-up in the mixed doubles. Mitchell was the only school entry in the Provincial Championships, but was eliminated in the early rounds. Weir was unable to compete through illness. The school tournament was held in March, the singles being won by Weir in defeating Dayton in the hnals. The doubles went to Mitchell and Sharp, who defeated Weir and Arkell. Colours : — Weir, Mitchell, Todd, Proctor, Dayton, Cameron. Sailing A GREATER interest was shown in sailing this year than has been seen for some time ; twelve boys obtained tests, either heavy or light, and there were two new additions to the fleet — another Kitten , owned by Hodgson, and a Flattie class, Sue , owned by Bennett. The latter proved superior to the kittens in most respects, except when sailing close-hauled. Much to our delight the Black Cat was given a new sail, which proved very satisfactory. The boys, however, did not seem to approve of this purchase as two attempts were made to disintegrate it. The Black Cat was put in rather late this season, owing to various delays concerning the new sail and various other gear. The Lane Cup was raced for as usual, but a new course was used. The boats started from Daphne Island and sailed around Senanis Island and back to Daphne. The Blue Streak , under the expert hand of J. R. Roberts, proved victorious. In spite of a few minor catastrophes, the season has been a successful one for the sailors, and we are in high hopes that next year will offer even greater opportunities. J. C. B. Page Thirteen

Brentwood College M a g a z i u e OWING to lack of material amongst the boys this year, it was necessary to include three members of the staff in the team, and by the close of the season it was obvious that the XI could never have held its own without their assistance. In order to secure a number of matches against teams of about an equal standing, the XI was entered in the Victoria Wednesday League. The team started well in the League with two easy victories, but in two of the three following games the batting of the side did not come up to expectations, while the remaining game was closely fought and just lost by seven runs. Besides the League games, two all-day matches were played, one of which was a very keenly-contested game against the Cowichan C. C, at Duncan, which was just lost by the margin of three runs; while the other was against the Victoria C. C, played at home on the King ' s birthday and lost on a second- innings decision. On the whole the team did not do as badly as might have been expected, when taking into consideration the strong bowling it had to face in some of its fixtures ; and although it came through with only two victories to its credit, it took part in some well- fought and very enjoyable games. The team was disappointed at being unable to visit Shawnigan and play the school this season, and would also have liked to have met the University School Page Fourteen
