Brentwood College Magazine second half their forwards pressed hard but Roberts broke away and dribbled the ball almost to their goal line. The resulting three-quarter movement was backed up by Angus, who went over for a try. Towards the end of the second half Todd went over twice. Throughout the game the passing of the three- quarters was consistently good. The: House: Match Although the Lower House had most of the 1st XV three-quarters, the match was keenly contested from start to finish. The first half went to the Lower House — McCafTrey, Woods, Wilkinson and Todd all scoring on three- quarter runs, the last named scoring twice. The sixth try was scored by Kinloch, who ably led the forwards. The second half, however, told a very different story. The Upper House forwards played well up on the ball and smothered the attempted three-quarter runs of the Lower House, holding them scoreless. West scored a try for the Upper House, which Angus converted, to make the final score 18-5. Dramatic Society THE Dramatic Society has manifested its activities on two occasions this session, at the Old Boys ' Sing Song and at the Christmas concert. On Old Boys ' Day the School was stunned and a little awed by a shadow- graph reproduction of an operation on D. F. Kinlock by W. B. Mackie and L. H. Wilkinson. When we say that in the presentation, trepanning, amputation and evisceration were all light heartedly performed, without any undue injury to the patient, some idea of the magnitude of the production may be gained. Mackie, Wilkinson and Kinlock worked very hard at rehearsals, and their success was merited. At the Christmas concert the programme was arranged in the form of a series of short sketches supporting the main feature, a one-act play by Eric Forbes Boyd entitled Maripoza Bung, or The Pirate ' s Daughter. This, a story of the high seas, in which virtue is rewarded in no uncertain manner, lent itself to an intensely melodramatic interpretation. Bertram Carew (P. C. Bennett), as a bold, handsome stranger, wooed Maripoza Bung (Williams ) with a pleasing fearlessness. Maripoza succumbed to his ardent gaze without too much difficulty, appropriately enough, in the last line of the play. Captain ( Burn My Whiskers ) Bung was played in a very hearty fashion. He nearly forgot his lantern at one tragic point of the play, but covered his mistake with a brilliant piece of acting. Ben the bo ' s ' n was played by Kidd, who simulated fear in great fashion throughout most of the play. Squibs, the cabin boy (Elmore), was very good indeed, and it was a pity that the part was not big enough to give him more opportunity. Mr. Haddon made excellent scenery for us, with many nautical touches, and the engineer produced with great ingenuity a wicked looking six-pounder carronade, complete with ram- rod. One of Bung ' s ancestors, Lord Bhong of Bhongo, was hung on the cabin wall, and he added an air of rampant conviviality to the scene. Page Twelve

B r e ii t w ood College Magazine Brentwood College v. 5th Regt. (Won, 18-3) This match was played on our own grounds under good conditions. We were on the offensive from the start, and after a number of good three-quarter runs, Todd went over for the first try. It was not converted. Almost immediately McCaffrey scored between the posts after a good three-quarter run. The next try was scored by Todd after some good footwork by the forwards. The visitors ' only try was scored just before half-time. Brentwood opened the second half with a concentrated forward rush which resulted in a try by Mackie. Todd then scored again, and just before the final whistle McCaffrey broke away and scored from about the halfway line. Brentwood College v. Oak Bay High School (Lost, 9-8) For this match we did not field the full 1st XV. Our opponents were markedly superior in the first half in attack, but Brentwood defence held, and the score at half-time was three all. The Oak Bay forwards kept well on the ball and scored again early in the second half. Todd was then moved in to the fly-half position, and a try for us immediately followed. In the last few minutes of the game, a fine kick from a penalty gave our opponents the victory by one point. Brentwood College v. Canadian Scottish (Won, 15-0) McCaffrey scored the opening try, which was soon followed by one by Todd, after a free kick. Neither try was converted. A good three-quarter run soon sent Todd over for another try. The score at half-time stood at 9-0 in our favour. The Scottish forwards opened the second half with a strong attack, but failed to score. Todd then gathered the ball from a loose scrum to score again. Woods then made a good opening for McCaffrey to score. The Scottish forwards then worked hard but were resolutely held by our pack and failed to score. Brentwood College v. University School (Won, 3-0) This match was played at Mt. Tolmie after a heavy overnight rain which made handling very difficult for the three-quarters. For the first half we had the wind behind us which enabled us to gain ground with long kicks. Our forwards proved themselves a match for their heavier opponents, and in spite of the slipperiness of the ball the three-quarters handled well and were able to feed the wings. Todd scored far out from such a movement, and soon after McCaf- frey crossed the opponents ' line only to lose control when in the act of touching it down. The second half, though scoreless, produced some very sound and exciting play. Brentwood forwards took no chances and kept well on the ball throughout, and the outsides tackled with determination. Brentwood College v. Oak Bay Wanderers (Won, 15-0) This game was played on our own ground in a drizzle of rain. The play opened by Brentwood carrying the ball over the opponents ' line, but it was touched down. A full three-quarter movement sent McCaffrey over for a try soon afterwards. The Wanderers ' counter attack proved unavailing, and Brent- wood soon had the ball back into their twenty-five, and Todd scored. In the Page Eleven

Brent w ood College M a g a z i n e RAINY weather during the first few weeks of the term sadly curtailed the length of the season, and we were able to play only three matches other than the staff game and the House Match. Nevertheless the team acquitted themselves well and, with few players from whom to choose, managed to draw two of the Inter- School matches. The fielding of the team was good and did much to offset the lack of change of bowlers. The batting, on the whole, was very promising. In addition, the School beat the Staff by 47 runs and the Upper House gained an easy victory over the Lower House. Results of matches follow : Brentwood College v.
