Brentwood College Magazine C. L. GRAHAM, Forward: He developed into a very useful hooker, always well up with the game. Much improved in the line-out, tackles well when he makes up his mind. Very fair dribbler. P. G. MAY, Forward: A very hard working forward, always well up with the game. Good dribbler, very fair pair of hands. R. YOUNG, Scrum-Half : He developed into a very useful player, although rather inclined to get too far away from his scrum. Passes out very well. Tackling needs improving. Good kick. Very safe place-kick from close in. B. WILSON. Centre Three-Quarter : Always played hard, with a very fair idea of an opening. Played back in the first part of the season. Quite a useful tackle, though he went off in the latter part of the season by adopting unorthodox methods. Very fair kick, good pair of hands. A. W. CALHOUN. Wing Three-Quarter : Goes very hard for the line. Played centre three for a time but did not fit in. Tackling needs improvement, must watch his man more closely, over-anxiety spoils his handling. Poor kick. O. J. A. CAVENAGH, Forward: Owing to injuries to the team he had to fill positions outside the scrum and always did his best. As a result he did not develop as a forward as had been hoped, but this was not his fault. Good pair of hands. J. W. PITTS. Full Back: Started as a forward and had the makings of a very useful player, but had to be moved to back to fill a vacancy in that position. On the whole he acquitted himself very well. Good kick and very fair place-kick. V. G. HOLLAND, Forward: A very fair player who goes hard all the time, but needs to use his eyes as he puts in a lot of unnecessary hard running to no purpose. Poor hands. G. EARLE, Forward: Had the makings of a useful forward, though inclined to slack off at times. Tackled well when he made up his mind to it. Colours. [Page Thirteen]

Brentwood College Magazine BECAUSE of the loss of so many of our best players the team was not able to live up to the enviable reputation which was won for the school by last year ' s team. We won five games, lost nine and two ended in a tie. Colours were awarded to J. M. McClean, C. Graham, P. May, R. Young, B. Wilson and A. Calhoun. Rugby Characters J. T. CLARKE (Captain) , Forward: He set a very fine example for the rest of the side. Much improved in the line-out, good pair of hands, poor dribbler, good tackle. J. A. ANGUS (Vice-Captain), Stand-off half: Played well throughout the whole season, kept his outsides well up to the mark. Has a very good idea of an opening. A good kick but must be careful not to overdo it. Much improved tackle. Changes his pace very well. J. E. SCHINBEIN, Forward: Led the forwards with much success. Always plays all out and sets a very good example. Good tackle, poor pair of hands. A. E. GILLESPIE, Centre Three-Quarter: He filled this difficult position quite well considering the fact that he is a forward, and a good one. Always plays hard, tackling much better; good hands and a very good kick. Place-kicking very variable. G. A. UNDERBAKKE, Forward: He has the ability and physique to be a really fine forward, but he did not keep himself in good enough condition to maintain his standard of last year. He should realize that lack of condition on the part of one player lets the whole side down. Better in the line-out. J. M. McCLEAN, Wing Three-Quarter : A very keen player who really works hard for the side all the time. He is very inclined to allow his keenness to drag him into the centre, with the result that he is often out of position, both in attack and defence. Fair hands, poor kick, good hard tackier.

The try was unconverted and the score remained 5-3 for the men from R.R. at the half. In the second half the Navy quickly crossed the line but failed to make the conversion. A few minutes later the College scored a try on a long pass from a line-out, Angus converting the ball to tie the score. In the last few minutes the Navy lads went over for another try. (Home.)

The College followed up the next kick off and Angus scored on a penalty. The score was now 8-3. In the final minutes of the game University School made two quick trys, leaving the final score 16-3.
