Brentwood College Magazine JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM The Juniors were fortunate this season in securing quite a number of matches in spite of the impossible weather conditions and the measles epidemic which made football impracticable during most of the Easter term. Their experience in match play should prove of value to them in the future. Their chief failing lay in the fact that they were an unbalanced side. There were five or six players of real promise, but the remainder consisted of boys who had to be included, because there was no choice. In spite of this, the side improved through the season both in enthusiasm and in knowledge of the game, finishing up with two really good matches against the Cowichan Juniors, and an excellent game with Fairbridge. Among the forwards, Clist and Hinton always worked hard; Hay always set an example to the side by his tackling at full back ; Sunderland, Rogers, Mackenzie and Dunlop showed promise for next season. Matches Avere played against teams from University School, Shawnigan, St. Michaels, St. Georges, Fairbridge and Cowichan. Basketball The first team did well this year in winning seven out of the nine matches played. A great deal of improvement was shown during the latter part of the season.

In the house match the Upper House was the Victor, the final score being 33-25. CHARACTERS FIELD — A fast forward on the attack, but a little weak in the defence.

ROSS — Inexperienced, but has played hard and well. HARVEY — Small, but is a very promising shot. Page Fourteen

B r e n t w o o d College M a g a z i n e RUGBY CHARACTERS C. M. B. SYMOXS (Captain, scrum-half) — A clever player behind the scrum, made good use of his kick to save his forwards but overdid it on occasions. A. H. MITCHELL (Forward) — An excellent forward. He made good use of his weight and speed. J. A. IZARD (Forward) — A hard-working forward clever at taking the ball with his feet. R. I. ROSS (Centre Three-Quarter) — F ast and useful in attack once he got hold of the ball but has never learnt to pass accurately. J. W. ASSELSTINE (Forward) — A useful all-round forward who always follows the ball closely. Too frequently offside due to excessive zeal. T. R. BASSETT (Wing Three-Quarter) — Hardly fast enough in this position but a determined runner and a certain tackle. R. C. FIELD (Centre Three-Quarter) — Fast, and with plenty of thrust. Inclined to wait too long before passing. W. D. C. HOLMES (Forward) — Always to be counted on to back up. He has become a valuable forward. A. P. IZARD (F orward) — Rather light. Has a very fair knowledge of the game. A. K. JOHNSTON (Stand-Off Half)— Clever open-field runner with good hands. Weak in defence. J. A. M. WELLS (Three-Quarter) — F ast, and very determined. Unfortunately could not finish out the season. F. ANGUS (Wing Three-Quarter) — Lacking in experience. B. HARVEY (Full-Back) — Rather too light for this position but shows promise for the future. K. C. COOKE (Forward) — Inexperienced forward who became too easily confused. W. L. DRURY (Forward) — Strong and hard-working forward, rather slow. J. F. RYAN (Wing Three-Quarter) — Lacked experience and so was often out of position. Page Thirteen

B r e n t w o o d College Magazine ALTHOUGH our cricket record for this season may not seem very im- pressive, one must not forget that this is but our second season of cricket since its revival. We are glad to see a far keener interest in the game and considerable promise amongst the juniors for next year. During most of the term the batting presented a difficult problem, as on many occasions it broke down unaccountably, and it was not until the last few matches that any degree of confidence could be placed on the ability of the remainder of the side to make runs once our first four batsmen were out. Although we hoped at the beginning of the season that we had a variety of bowling, our attack was by no means as formidable as we could have wished. Johnston and Field, who had to bear the brunt of the bowling, worked hard all the time, and on several occasions met with considerable success, but they frequently bowled far too much, with the result that their bowling lost strength and sting.
