First, on the courts themselves many improvements have been made, chief among which are the construction of new stands for spectators and the repairing of the nets. Then, because of the abundance of good players, a tennis team was formed for the first time in several years. This team, made up of Wiebenson, A. W. Gillespie, I. Gillespie, Clarke, Todd and Archibald, won three of four matches played. Mr. Hocking came out from Victoria once a week and gave valuable coaching in the finer points of the game. The awarding of colours for outstanding play was also revived this year; the recipients being Wiebenson and A. W. Gillespie. The majority of the boys and some of the staff took part in a ladder tournament throughout the term, and competition was keen.

Some of the events proved most exciting; noteworthy efforts being the thrilling finishes to the Senior 220 and 880. The Intermediate events were not without bril- liance. Gillespie ii executing a splendid long jump to win over a large field of entries; while Holmes showed good form and speed in the dashes.

Brentwood College Magazine The Senior squash cup was retained by last year ' s winner, L Gillespie, after a keenly contested set with Martin, the captain of squash. The Junior cup was won by May 1. The Lower House won the Inter-House match by gaining two victories out of three games played. I. Gillespie (L) won from Martin (U), Woodcroft (L) lost to Wiebenson (U), and Todd (L) won from Clarke (U). i i i BADMINTON Although no outstanding badminton stars were produced this year, the game maintained its customary high level of popularity. The only outside match played resulted in undisputed victory for the visiting team from Victoria. However, some excellent games were witnessed, and the school players gained valuable experience. A. W. Gillespie and Foot represented the school in the annual Vancouver Island tournament held at Victoria, but failed to capture any honours. The Lower House carried away the Inter-House match without great diffi- culty, and thereby secured five points towards the house cup. Keen enthusiasm and competition were evoked by the school tournament, and many fine performances were seen. The results were as follows: Senior Singles — I. Gillespie. Senior Doubles — I. Gillespie and Woodcroft. Junior Singles — Cavenagh. Junior Doubles — Cavenagh and McDougall. i i i ROWING A fair number of boys took up sculling this year, and could be seen on the water almost any afternoon during the late Autumn and during the whole of the long Summer term. There were two fours in evidence from time to time, but, because of lack of real experience, these were not entered in any competition. In the Inter-House sculls, the contestants were quite evenly matched Schinbein (U) won by a narrow margin from Munger (L). Foot defeated Schinbein in open competition to win the Senior sculls, and Opie carried off the Junior trophy by a victory over Elkington. i i i SAILING Sailing encountered some difficulty in getting under way this year because of a shortage of captains. However, it transpired that the art of handling the dinghies was no novelty to some of the new boys; and it was not long before everything was going smoothly. The fleet is now made up of three dinghies of the Frostbite class, and the sailing dinghy Stroma, presented to the school this year by Dr. R. Scott-Moncrieff ( ' 23-24). Several privately-owned boats are also in constant use. After being the object of- keen competition throughout the term, the sailing cup was won by Woodcroft, with Homer-Dixon as his crew.
