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

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 Basketball very successful Basketball this year was taken up very seriously and had a season. The team included : S. J. NEWCOMB (Captain): A good back, who could always be relied on for some points in a game. E. M. WILLIAMS: The left forward; a very good shot and a good defense player. G. P. KIDD: The right forward; did not get into his best stride till after Christmas, then became a deadly shot under the basket. D. AKIN: His height was his great advantage. As centre forward he was very useful. R. W. WEST: Was out due to injuries in Christmas term. He was a good defense player, though rather an awkward shot. Eddy, Symons, Rhodes and Davidson also rendered valuable service to the team. Brentwood won five of their ten matches. Brentwood Brentwood Brentwood Brentwood Brentwood West West West West Road 27.
