Brentwood College Magazine ROWING CHARACTERS First Crew T. E. KELLEY (Bow): A lack of co-ordination between body and slide often results in a weak finish. He is a hard worker who never gives up. As a steersman he appears to have considerable leanings towards the doctrine that the longest way round is the shortest way there! K. PHILIP (2): A rough looking oar of awkward build, but he always has plenty of water on his blade. He must try to l earn to swing straight. D. T. AKIN (3): A powerful oar with a naturally easy action, and a good racer. He might with advantage make a little bit more of his forward reach. G. H. DAVIDSON (Stroke): He has given his team good rhythm but has not mastered the art of driving true — all over a long course. He has made a keen and efficient captain, and much of the success of the rowing this year has been due to his efforts. Track WE were fortunate this year in securing the services of Mr. C. Copeland as coach, who did much to improve the general standard in track and field events. The introduction of the javelin proved a popular feature of our meet, and we hope next year to add the discus to our other activities. Two new School records were made this year, the one by J. Todd in the cross country, the other by D. Akin in the shot put, whose 39 feet 7 inches beat the previous record by seven feet. Brentwood v. Y.M.C.A. Junior Team — May 19 Lost 42-26.

Brentwood College Magazine Rowing WE were fortunate this year in being able to get started so early that the first and second crews got in a good deal of their groundwork before Easter. This enabled the first crew to have nearly three weeks in the shell. Three races were arranged for the first crew and two for the second. We are grateful to the University of B.C., the J.B.A.A., St. George ' s School and the Old Boys for sending crews to compete against us. The first crew started the season by beating a U.B.C. four on May 12th over the 1 mile, 550-yard course by four-and-a-half lengths. Two weeks later they were defeated by a J.B.A.A. crew by about the same margin. On June 10th, the second crew won a rather unsatisfactory race from St. George ' s School, in which their opponents were badly handicapped by a strange boat. On Speech Day, June 23rd, the second crew beat a J.B.A.A. novice crew easily over the five-eighths of a mile course, and the first crew dealt similarly with an Old Boys ' crew over the same distance. A Brentwood crew will be rowing in the J.B.A.A. regatta on July 2nd and it is hoped that a crew may be entered for the N.P.A.A.O. Regatta in Vancouver. ist CREW. Page Twelve

Inter-High School Sports — June 5 Brentwood sent in a team to compete in the Inter-High School Sports. Though it proved to be below the standard of performance, valuable experience was gained by those who will be available to run again next year. The team in- cluded : S. J. Newcomb, G. P. Kidd, D. T. Akin, T. E. Kelley, E. M. Williams, R. W. West, J. P. Edge and G. H. Davidson Badminton The School Badminton team played three matches, winning two out of the three. The two matches played against the Brentwood club were both won, while the match against the Willows was lost. The Badminton Tournament had a very large number of entries and the competition was very keen throughout the tournament. Barrett-Lennard won the singles championship and Selby and Williams won the doubles championship. Inter-House Competition The Inter-House competition for the Symons Challenge Cup was especially keen this year. The results were as follows: The Lower House won the Track (10 points), Badminton (5 points), Tennis (5 points) and Swimming (5 points), gaining a total of 25 points. Their Upper House opponents won the Rugby (10 points), Basketball (5 points) and Rowing (10 points), also gaining a total of 25 points. Thus the competition was a draw. Page Fourteen
