Brentwood College Magazine Rugby Characters BARRETT-LENNARD (Captain, Fly-half) — A good captain who got the best out of his team. Uses his head in starting a movement. RHODES (Forward) — A very sound, hard-working forward. Tackles well and led the pack successfully. SYMONS (Scrum-half) — A good kick. He combined well with his fly-half and always backed up a three-quarter movement. ANGUS, D. (Five-eighths) — A considerably improved player. Quite fast and a de- termined runner. KIDD (Wing Three-quarter) — Fast, and ran with more determination than last year. MITCHELL (Forward)— Developed into a useful hooker. He was good in the line out and tackled well. RAY (Forward) — Did not live up to the promise of the previous year. Often quite good in the loose. ASSELSTINE ( Forward)— Keen and hard-working. Always backed up well. BUSH (Wing Three-quarter) — A good tackle and always very sound in defence. IZARD (Forward) — Always on the ball and a good dribbler. DUNCAN, BARBER-STARKEY (Forwards)— Slow but hard-working.

NATION (Scrum-half and Full-back) — A good kick and safe hands. Promises well. MEARS (Wing Three-quarter) — Inexperienced but shows promise. Basketball This year our Basketball team enjoyed a very successful season. Our suc- cess was largely due to the efforts of Mr. Ross Hocking of Victoria, who again came out and coached the team. Out of a total of eight matches played, the team won six and lost two. The results of the games were as follows : Christmas Term Brentwood College vs. West Road — Lost 25-32. Brentwood College vs. St. George ' s School — Won 38-14. Brentwood College vs. West Road — Won 24-18. Lent Term Jan. 19th — Brentwood College vs. West Road — W r on 36-26.

Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood Coupes; vs. University School — Lost 13-9 Although both teams made the same number of tries, University School won because of the extra four points gained by conversions. The game was quite ragged owing to the very wet day on which it was played. It was very exciting, however, because of the spectacular rushes made by members of both teams. The weather did not permit any three-quarter play, which resulted in the forwards having a great deal of work. On the whole the game was very even. Teagle proved a tower of strength for University School by engineering their tries. Brentwood College vs. Shawnigan Lake School — Lost 19-8 In this game Brentwood lacked the services of Angus, D., and Barrett-Len- nard who were hurt in the University School game. Shawnigan again started off the game by a succession of three-quarter runs. The Brentwood three-quarters only held off this attack by sound tackling. In the first ten minutes of the game Field had to leave the ground owing to injuries, and Brentwood played the re- mainder of the game with fourteen men. Brentwood began to press near the end of the first half. In the second half it was evident Shawnigan was tiring, for Brentwood, as in the previous game, held them near their try-line and man- aged to break through for two tries. This was the best game Brentwood played during the season. Results oe 2nd XV Matches Brentwood vs. Shawnigan (at home) — Draw 8-8. Brentwood vs. Shawnigan (away) — Lost 19-9. Brentwood vs. University School (away) — Won 26-0. ist RUGBY XV. Page Twelve

Brentwood C ollege Magazine Characters of thk Team G. P. KIDD (Captain) — The Centre-forward. A very good shot under and around the basket. J. NATION — Right forward. A very useful player and a clever shot. M. SYMONS — Left forward. He played better this year but still shoots too hard. D. RHODES — Left back. As a back he is a tower of strength to the team. D. BARRETT-LENNARD— Right back. A good check. His shooting improved to- wards the end of the season. WELLS and ASSELSTINE also played for the team. Badminton This year the Badminton team was composed of Barrett-Lennard, Bush, Nation and Allan. The team won one of the three matches that were played. In the School tournament Barrett-Lennard won the singles by defeating Nation, and Barrett-Lennard and Nation won the doubles from Izard and Allan. The team feels indebted to Mr. Izard for the way in which he has supported Bad- minton by bringing out teams to the School. Rowing REGULAR practice started at the beginning of the Summer term and it was not long before a crew was selected to row against St. George ' s in Vancouver on May 30th. Though rather short of practice, it began to develop pace during the last ten days before the race, and given another fort- night, would have trained into a fast, if ugly, crew. Such pace as there was came from a controlled forward swing, combined with a good thrust from the feet ; the finishes were always weak and rather ragged. Symons is to be congratulated on his consistent good rowing and his leader- ship both in and out of the boat. A keen and cheerful crew has ten times more chance of getting home first than an aggregation which does not dwell together in unity. The morning before the race was spent in getting used to the boat lent us by the Vancouver Rowing Club, and accustoming the crew to the use of swivels. The race was started at 2:1.S p.m., over a three-quarter-mile course in Coal Harbour. The starting gun was apparently a signal for every yacht in the harbour to proceed to sea, but there was, fortunately, no interference with the courses steered by the coxswains, the only trouble being caused by the wash of various power boats which tested the watermanship of both crews equally. Brentwood started at the faster stroke and maintained a higher rate all over the course. They got a lead in the first minute and never quite lost it, though St. George ' s were almost level at the end of the second minute. Brent- wood were, perhaps, a trifle steadier in the rough water and went ahead to win by just over a length in the good time of 3 minutes 16 seconds. Page Fourteen
