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 BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. ST. GEORGES (Tie — 3-3) Both teams were very well matched and the game was very even throughout. There was no score in the first half, although both teams nearly scored several times. Half way through the second half, St. Georges went over for a try from a five-yard scrum, but the kick for the extra points failed. Brentwood now took the offensive and from a five-yard line-out Angus plunged through the line of forwards and scored. The kick for the extra points failed. The rest of the half both teams fought hard but no further score was made. (Home.) BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL (Won — 31-9) The game was played on the Shawnigan ground on a warm clear day. Until half time the game was very even but then the superior weight of our team began to tell and try after try was scored. For the third successi ve year Brentwood has defeated Shawnigan, who for so many years previously has defeated all of our teams. BRENTWOOD vs. ROYAL ROADS (Lost — 0-21) Here again the superior weight of the Royal Roads team gave them the required strength to push our scrum and so get the ball out to their threes. The victory undoubtedly went to the better team. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. ROYAL ROADS (Lost — 3-26) During the first half of the game there was a slight fall of rain which made the ball very slippery. Angus made the first try of the game half way through the first half, receiving the ball from a loose scrum on the five-yard line, but the kick for the extra points failed. Soon after- wards Royal Roads went over the line in a forward rush and the conversion failed. The weather cleared up somewhat during the second half and soon after the whistle blew R.R. threes scored a try. This was converted by A. Izard, making the score 8-3. Royal Roads was caught offside twice in the next few minutes but both penalty kicks failed to cross the bar. Near the end the superior weight of the visiting team began to tell and three trys were scored in quick succession by the R.R. threes, which ended the game. (Home.) HOUSE MATCH (Upper House 41, Lower House 5) The Lower House won the toss and kicked off. The first try for the Upper House came a few minutes after the kick off, when Clarke received the ball from a 20-yard line-out and went over the line, but the conversion failed. Successive trys were scored by Angus and Clarke, and Young kicked the extra points to make the score at the half 17-0.
