Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood College v. Shawnican Lake Played at Brentwood.

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.

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.

B r e n t w ood College Magazine Brentwood v. Shawnigan Lake: School Played November 29th. (Won 11-0) Play was very even at the start, but after about ten minutes of play our scrum heeled in Shawnigan ' s twenty-five ; a good run by the three-quarter resulted in Thorn scoring. The kick failed. From a free kick Shawnigan got well up to our line, but our good defensive work prevented them scoring. In the second half we made determined attacks. From the half-way line, Weir cut through well and passed in to Wilson, who scored between the posts. This was converted to bring the score to 8-0. We attacked again, the threes running and passing well. The ball reached McNeill, on the wing, who drew the defence skillfully and passed in to Wilson, the latter ran through and scored. Not converted. Shawnigan, though lighter and not quite so fast as Brentwood, contested every moment of the game. Brentwood College v. University School, Played at Brentwood on December 6th. ( Won 8-6) University School kicked off and early in the first half Leggatt put the University School in the lead by two fine tries within ten minutes. Both tries were not converted. From this time on, the Brentwood tackling improved and the forwards, working well together, carried the ball to their opponents ' twenty- five line, where Mitchell took a pass from Sharp to force his way over for Brentwood ' s opening score. Weir converted, and the score at half-time was 6 to 5 in favour of the visitors. Play was resumed by our forwards carrying the ball to the opposing line, and after several determined Brentwood three-quarter runs, Wilson i went over for what proved to be the winning try. Mayhew missed the try for extra points by inches, from a difficult angle. After this, both teams made very fine attempts to add to the score, but both backfields held strongly and the final score being Brentwood 8, University School 6. The entire Brentwood team played remarkably well as a team, there being- no outstanding player, forwards playing their game as well as the three-quarters played theirs. Captain Levien very ably refereed the hard-fought game. Brentwood College v. Victoria High School Played on December 10th. (Lost 6-10) Victoria High rushed the play into Brentwood territory from the start and soon went over for a try, which was converted. Brentwood fought back hard and after stopping several of the visitors ' rushes, the three-quarters brought the ball into their opponents ' territory. Here Mayhew took a beautiful penalty kick to open our scoring. Victoria High pressed hard, but a penalty kick held them off until the half -whistle. Page Seven
