Brentwood College Magazine Rugby THIS year a great deal of raw material had to go to the making of a First XV, so that our losses at the beginning of the season were only to be expected. The side, however, improved consistently throughout and showed itself capable of holding its own against heavier and more experienced players. Oak Bay Wanderers v. Brentwood College: Played October 14th, 1933. (Lost 9-3) The game was played on our ground, which was rather hard, owing to the lack of rain. During the first half the Brentwood forwards were ragged, but in the second half they held together much better. The Wanderers scored twice in the first half, and once in the second, without converting any of these tries. Brentwood ' s single score was made by Davidson late in the first half. Quite a good game for the first of the season. Oak Bay Wanderers v. Brentwood College Played October 21st, 1933. (Lost 24-3) In this game there was a decided improvement in both the loose and tight scrums. However, the forwards ' tackling was on the whole very weak. Brent- wood ' s only score was made by Todd. The Wanderers were much superior in weight and experience and they had a faster three-quarter line than that of Brentwood. The game was played on our ground, which was in much better condition than on the previous Saturday. ist RUGBY XV. Page Eight

Brentwood College Magazine Speech Day HE Eleventh Annual Speech Day of the College was celebrated on Sat- urday, June 23rd. A large gathering of parents and friends were cordially entertained by the boys. The afternoon ' s activities started with the finals of the tennis doubles tournament. This was followed by two very good rowing races. A Brentwood Old Boys ' crew raced Brentwood ' s first crew, while the second crew raced a J.B.A.A. four. The company then adjourned for the speeches and presentation of prizes in the gymnasium. Mr. M. H. Ellis, the headmaster of the School, briefly reviewed the various activities of the School. He talked about the way studies were treated at Brent- wood, and emphasised the great training the boys got from being at the school. He then went on to talk about outside hobbies of the School, and the necessity for manual training. He concluded by introducing Prof. Logan of the University of British Columbia, who had very kindly consented to present the prizes. Prof. Logan, who is recognized as a great educationist, spoke about the future of education. He outlined the rapid progress of the world, and stated that education would also take such strides. In conclusion, Mr. Logan spoke about the materialistic and idealistic sides of education. Dr. Scott-Moncrieff gave the boys who were leaving the School a short message of advice.

Brentwood College Magazine Shawnigan Lake: School v. Brentwood College: Played November 4th, 1933. (Lost 57-0) This game was played under ideal conditions. The outstanding feature of the game was the cooperation shown by the whole of the Shawnigan team. Newcomb was the outstanding player on the Brentwood team. Our opponents were superior in experience, weight and combination. Old Boys v. School Played November 11th, 1933. (Lost 33-6) The Brentwood ground was in excellent condition for the game. Owing to the weakness of the Brentwood team, it was strengthened by playing some of the Old Boys for the School. In the first half Symons, Hoggan, Hutchinson, Barrett-Lennard and Osier each scored a try. The Old Boys were on the offen- sive in the first half, but in the second half slowed down. Osier, Symons and Barrett-Lennard scored for the Old Boys in the second half, and Kidd and Philip scored for Brentwood. Oppenheimer, McCaffrey and Kidd made splendid runs throughout the game. University School v. Brentwood College Played November 18th, 1933. (Lost 50-0) This game was not nearly as one-sided as the score indicated. Our for- wards were as clever as theirs, but the weight of their pack told in the end. Wells was injured in the head in the first five minutes and had to retire. Brent- wood ' s dribbling was good, but their handling was very poor. University scored their tries in a regular succession. Shawnigan Lake Second XV v. Brentwood College Played November 25th, 1933. (Won 17-0) Brentwood played their best game of the season at Shawnigan Lake. The three-quarters were very quick off the mark. Todd scored for Brentwood from an intercepted pass. This try was converted by Kidd. West and Kidd both made good runs to score their tries for Brentwood. Brentwood ' s other scores were made by Symons and Davidson. University School v. Brentwood College Played December 9th, 1933. (Lost 6-0) The game was played at University School under favouring conditions for Brentwood. It was a very wet day and the ball was very slippery. McPherson and Smith scored for University School. The play during the whole match was very keen, L T niversity being on the offensive most of the time. Brentwood held their opponents, who were on the whole a superior team. University School v. Brentwood College Played February 17th, 1934. (Lost 15-0) The Brentwood ground was in perfect Rugby condition. University School had a very fast three-quarter line and so were attacking most of the time. Page Nine
