Brentwood College Magazine J. A. IZARD — He has a good idea of the game. Dribbles well but needs more weight for a forward. J. W. ASSELSTINE— Keen and backs up well. He has learnt much about the off- side rule. J. A. WELLS — Plays a plucky and useful game when he is able to turn out. MATCHES— CHRISTMAS TERM University School (Home) — Lost 50-0 This game was played on the Brentwood grounds which were rather bad owing to lack of rain. The University Team were too heavy in the forwards and too fast in the three-quarters for Brentwood, and the result was they scored their tries in regular succession. Oak Bay High School (Away) — Lost 11-9 This game was played on the Oak Bay grounds. Both teams scored three tries. A forward rush in the beginning of the game gave Brentwood the first score. Then in the second half, Kidd and West both broke through the enemy defence to score. Shawnigan Lakl 1st (Away) — Lost 52-0 Brentwood played a very good game at Shawnigan, but the superior skill of their opponents won the match. The three-quarters were unable to check the Shawnigan bombardment. Page Fifteen

B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine LIGHT, inexperienced team, and lacking in speed and dash in the three- quarters, we were nevertheless able to put up a stout display towards the end of the season. The forwards, though lacking in cleverness, always worked well together as a pack; the outsides, though fairly sound in defence, seemed to be content if they succeeded in keeping the score of their opponents within reasonable bounds. The season ended in a promising fashion with three successive wins, bringing our wins to five for the season. If, next season, they can learn that the art of defence lies in attack, we should have a very useful side. E. M. WILLIAMS (Captain) — A very useful fly-half. He has a good pair of hands, a good kick and an eye for an opening. A. D. RHODES — He has a good knowledge of the forward game; tackles well and leads the pack well. D. L. BARRETT-LENNARD — A hard-working, conscientious scrum-half. He is learn- ing to use his voice at the right times. B. S. ALEXANDER — A considerably improved forward. He now puts his weight to good use in the tight and the loose scrums. C. M. SYMONS — A much improved forward. Dribbles well and always works hard throughout the game. G. P. KIDD — A strong runner, but weak in defence. D. ANGUS — Full-back. A very strong kick and a useful turn of speed. He must learn to throw himself at his man. R. THWAITES — Forward. Uses his feet well and backs up in the loose. L. V. RAY — With more experience and greater keenness he should prove a very use- ful forward. R. FIELD — He has good hands and a good eye for an opening. He gained confidence during the season and with more weight will be a very useful centre-three-quarter. W. O. BUSH — A good tackle. He must learn when and how to pass. A. B. DUNCAN — He used his weight to advantage. A steady forward. J. BARBER-STARKEY — Steady and hard-working. A much improved player.

Brentwood College Magazine Old Boys (Home)— Won 25-17 The ground was hard and the sun was shining, so the game was fast. The game was very even for the first half, but in the second the Old Boys began to tire and Brentwood scored the winning tries. K. W. Symons was conspicuous for the Old Boys. Shawnigan Lake 2nd (Home) — Won 6-0 This game was played on a rather muddy field with the ball very slippery. The game was a hard fight for both teams, but the weight of the Brentwood pack succeeded in gaining the two-try victory for Brentwood. University School (Away) — Lost 48-0 The return match with University School was more or less a repetition of the first. The Brentwood three-quarters broke away two or three times but were always stopped before they could score. The Brentwood forwards played well but were too light for their opponents. LENT TERM Victoria High School (Away) — Lost 24-3 This game was played under ideal conditions. Victoria started by scoring early in the game. Brentwood played hard but were unable to stop the fast Vic- toria three-quarter line, who broke through the forwards as often as they did through their opposing three-quarters. Brentwood ' s only scoi e was made by Williams with a penalty drop-kick. University School (Home) — Won 9-0 Brentwood took good advantage of University Schools having lost some of their men, and played a hard attacking game. Brentwood ' s first try was made by Thwaites, and for the rest of the game Brentwood attacked. University ' s attempts to score were stopped every time. In the second half Kidd went over the line to make the score 6-0, while a little later a forward rush brought the score to the final total of 9-0. St. George ' s (Home) — Won 6-3 This game was the hardest Brentwood had throughout the Rugby season. Bush scored in the first half for Brentwood and St. George ' s forwards evened the tally shortly afterwards. After holding St. George ' s magnificently, the Brent- wood forwards broke away in the second half and Thwaites scored the winning try. University School (Away) — Won 9-6 This game, played on a very hard ground, was chiefly a three-quarter game. After many attempts, the three-quarter line got over with Field scoring. To- wards the end of the game Williams kicked a field-goal for Brentwood. Inter-House Match — Cock ' s House won 13-9 Page Sixteen
