B r e ii t w o o d Coll e g e Ma g a z i 11 e Victoria College v. Brentwood College Played at Brentwood on October 18th. (Draw 0-0) This game was keenly fought to a scoreless draw. The brunt of the play fell on the forwards owing to the state of the ground, and both packs played hard, clean rugby and were quick to seize oppo rtunities. Victoria ' s kicking was especially noteworthy, but they were unlucky in losing one of their forwards for fifteen minutes. During the first half the marking on both sides was close and the tackling deadly. The tackling of Cooper at scrum-half was particularly praiseworthy. The three-quarters were given few opportunities, but both back divisions showed evidence of strength if given opportunity to attack. Brentwood College v. Victoria High School Played October 24th, 1930. (Lost 3-9) This game was played on the Victoria High School ground in a steady down- pour, the field being soggy. Our opponents proved superior throughout the game, but had it not been for the brilliant work of Stipe, their full-back, the result might have been less decisive. Our tackling, particularly that of the threes, was not as good as our opponents ' . We were pressed during the early part of the game, and after about fifteen minutes of play, Chapman scored for the High School, near the flag, on a long cross-field run. The try was not converted. Brentwood pressed and narrowly missed scoring during the latter part of the first half. Five minutes after the start of the second half, McNeill scored wide out. Mayhew had bad luck with his kick, the ball bounding back from the cross-bar. Play went back to the High School ' s half, where Patrick received a pass and with great pace cut through our side for a splendid try. Thorpe failed with the kick. Near the end of the game, High School was awarded a free kick against ns for ofT-side. Chapman added three points with his kick, the final score of the game. Old Boys v. School Played November 8th, 1930. (Brentwood 17, Old Boys 0) The game was played on a muddy field. Shortly after the opening, Cameron scored after a forward rush. Weir failed to convert. The three-quarters tried several spirited rushes, and McNeill broke through to make the score 6-0. Weir failed to add to the score again. It developed into a forwards ' game, both teams ' three-quarters being unable to break away. The Old Boys pressed and Bryden was injured. Bryden resumed until the half-whistle. In the second half Brentwood started strongly. The Brentwood backs stopped several Old Boys ' rushes. McNeill nearly scored. McNeill took a pass from Sharp and ran over. Brockie scored after a few determined three-quarter rushes. Weir converted. The Old Boys nearly scored, and shortly after Mitchell scored. Weir missed the try for extra points by a close margin. The play was in mid-field when the whistle blew. McNeill and Mitchell played a good game. Page Five

B r e 11 1 w o o d C o 1 1 e g e M a g a z i n e WE enjoyed a very successful season and on the whole the standard of play was good. Though we did not enter the Intermediate League, we twice played Victoria College, who won the Provincial Champion- ship ; early in the season we defeated them, and later played to a draw. Our success was in large measure due to good heeling, enabling us to launch frequent attacks. Oak Bay Wanderers v. Brentwood College Played October 11th, 1930. (Lost 10-9). Kicked off by Brentwood. Usher made two good runs early in the first half. He was held up over the line by McNeill saving a certain try. Brentwood fought back and Wilson ii carried the ball past Wanderer ' s twenty-five yard line, passing to Weir, who took it over for Brentwood ' s first try. Brentwood did not convert. The Brent- wood three-quarters made a long run. McNeill took a difficult pass from Wilson ii and rushed over for another try. Not converted. Half-time score, 6-0 in Brentwood ' s favour. Wanderers started out strongly in the second half and with a forward rush carried the ball into Brentwood territory. Brentwood held for a few minutes, then Roberts went over to score first points for Wanderers. Convert failed. Pease rushed up the field for what appeared to be a sure try, but Fraser tackled well and brought him down. Pease hurt. Wanderers received a penalty kick and put the ball nicely between the posts, making score 6-6. McNeill ran from the half-way line through a loose field for his second try. Brentwood failed to convert. Brentwood pressed hard, keeping the ball well in Wanderers ' territory for some time. The Wanderers ' forwards rushed down the field and Pease kicked a beautiful field goal to finish an exciting game. Page Four

Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood College v. Shawnican Lake Played at Brentwood. (Won 21-0) Kicking into touch under the Rugby Union Rule was allowed, and kicking played an important part in the game. Cooper crossed the line to open the scor- ing for Brentwood ; he shortly afterwards added three points by a clever try near the posts. Weir converted. Shawnigan pressed the play into Brentwood territory, but from the scrum the ball was passed quickly out to the wing by the Brentwood three-quarters and McNeill raced from centre held to gain the third try. Mayhew converted. Brentwood three-quarters were handling well and after good straight running the ball was passed to McNeill, who scored again. Weir converted. Near the end of the first half a forward rush resulted in Brockie crossing the line for three points. In the second half, Brentwood kept up the attack but could not penetrate Shawnigan ' s clever defence. Slater ' s fine kicking saved Shawnigan ' s line time and time again. Commander Murray refereed. Shawnigan Lake Midgets very decisively defeated their Brentwood oppon- ents, and at Shawnigan, Brentwood College 2nd XV won from a considerably lighter team. THE FIRST XV Page Six
