B r e ii t w o o d C o 1 1 e g e M a g a z i n e Zfotf Club IN spite of the rather reduced number of boys who took part in rowing this season, we were able to put four crews on the water. Through the very excellent coaching of Mr. Ellis and Mr. W. G. 1. Hope we have been able to maintain the high standard which has been set in previous years by Brentwood crews. Shawnigan Lake School very kindly loaned us a coach boat four, and this greatly aided the teaching of elementary principles to novices. We were very fortunate in having access to Mr. Butchart ' s speed boat which greatly facilitated the coaching. We are indeed very grateful to Mr. Butchart for his kindness. On June 17, we rowed two races against the J.B.A.A. on their Gorge course. In the junior race our crew won by four lengths. This victory was offset by the defeat of the first crew by two lengths in the senior race. On Speech Day an inter-house race was held which was won by Cock ' s House. The first crew race, which was to be rowed in Vancouver against St. George ' s School on June 29th, had to be cancelled, owing to the unfortunate illness of a member of their crew. On the whole, we have had a very enjoyable and successful year ' s rowing. Rowing Personalities First Four W. B. MACKIE (bow): A keen and energetic Captain of Boats. He worked hard in practice and raced well, though he never quite learned to co-ordinate the movements of his body and slide. C. E. CAMPBELL (2): Improved greatly during practice, developing into a very useful oar. L. H. WILKINSON (3): A rather rough but very powerful oar, he supplied more than his share of the motive power of the boat. J. L. HYDE (stroke) : Though an ugly oar, he was invaluable as a stroke. He had a good sense of rhythm and always drove his crew hard. Page Eighteen

Brentwood College Magazine Tennis HIS year a much greater interest was shown in tennis, and the School had several very good matches with visiting teams. Our hrst match was on May 6th, against Mr. Izard ' s team, and although our team was bol- stered by the addition of Mr. Phillips and Mr. Privett, the visitors won five matches to our four. On the 20th of May we again suffered defeat at the hands of Mr. Izard ' s team. This time we were unable to complete all the matches owing to lack of time, and the final score was five matches to two. Our first win was on the 1st of June, when we played University School, and after several very evenly contested sets, we won, four matches to three. Our last match was on the 20th of June, when we played the Brentwood ladies ' team. Our team finally won out, winning five matches to three for the ladies, while one match remained unplayed. In the finals of the School singles tournament, Woods met Angus, the former winning, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. In the finals of the doubles tournament, Woods and Angus defeated Osier and Selby, 6-2, 7-5, 8-6. The tennis in the School improved greatly towards the latter part of the season, and we wish to thank Mr. Hincks for his interest and the time he spent in coaching the younger boys.

B r e 11 1 w ood College M agazine Second Four G. H. DAVIDSON (bow): Made considerable improvement during practice. Must learn to control his sliding better. T. A. KELLEY (2): A clumsy oar, with a poor body-swing at present, but a very hard worker and so worth his place in the boat. D. B. ELMORE (3): A real worker with a useful style. Somewhat handicapped by a lack of inches. D. KINLOCH (stroke): A very promising oarsman. He has a nice easy style, and drove his crew well in the race. Athletics The cross-country was run over practically the same course as last year and was again won by Hyde in the good time of 17 minutes 37 seconds. Elmore was close on his heels at the top of the cement hill and finished a good second, with Mackie third. Due to some obscure geographical reason, certainly not the lack of rain, the water crossing did not afford the usual entertainment for the spectators. The annual Inter-House Sports were held on Saturday, April 13th. There were several good performances, and two records were beaten. The Lower House were again the winners of the Inter-House competition. Records : Todd i — 100 yards, 10 1-5 sees, as against his own record of 10 2-5 sees, in 1932.
