Brentwood College Magazine BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (Lost — 9-12) The third game of the season against University School at the Brentwood grounds was by far the best game Brentwood played against University School. In the first few moments of the game University School scored all the trys they were to make during the entire gams. The University School three-quarters let loose a powerful offensive and the first try was scored only a few minutes after the whistle. This was converted. Two more trys were scored by the School to make the score 12-0 in their favour. Brentwood now put on pressure and in the remaining minutes of the first half several trys were nearly scored. Soon after the whistle, Angus kicked ahead, University fumbled and McClean picked up the ball and ran over the line. Young kicked the conversion which made the score 12-5. When Brentwood received a free kick for an offside, Angus made the kick and it sailed between the uprights from the 3 5 -yard line. The score was now 12-9. Brentwood kept up the pressure but was unable to score. (Home.) BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (Lost — 21-5) Brentwood made the first try of the game about three minutes after the whistle blew, Wilson scoring in a three-quarter breakaway. Young converted, which made the score 5-0. University now retaliated with two quick trys which made the score 6-5. During the rest of the first half Brentwood tried to score but were unable to do so as the University defense was supreme. In the last half of the game University School made three more trys after a very hard fight for each one. The game ended with the score at 21-5. i i i When asked for his Physics, McClean Said: I ' m sorry, it gives me a pean; I like to play cricket On any old wicket But work is a tax on the bream i i i Doc Schinbein, as I have heard tell, Is frightfully good in a ' ' shell. I don ' t mean to infer He ' s a snail — oh no, sir! For at rugger he ' s like a gazelle. [Page Sixteen]

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. In the second half, despite the Lower House ' s stiffened resistance, the Upper House continued to score almost at will. Clarke made a try from a 10-yard line-out and Angus followed up by scoring a field goal. Wilson and Clarke continued the onslaught by scoring another try. making the score 31-0. McClean made a beautiful run for the Lower House a few minutes later, and the kick for the extra points was successful. In the last few minutes of the game Angus and Schinbein both went over for trys and Young successfully kicked for the extra points, the final score being 41-5. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. R.A.F. We played several games against the R.A.F. in the Easter term; we lost one and won two. All the games were played at Brentwood. [Page Fifteen]

Brentwood College Magazine THOUGH a very young and inexperienced team this year, we were able to secure more victories than defeats, winning three, losing two, and drawing two. The fielding was far better than had been hoped for, and our batting, although rather unstable, was never wholly disregarded by the opposing team. Our bowling was quite strong but never deadly. However, in some matches we were able to secure wickets for a very few runs. For their great value to the side Angus and Cavenagh were awarded Colours. CRICKET CHARACTERS J. M. McCLEAN (Captain) : On occasions he captained the side as well as it could have been done, but he did not always get the side on their toes and keep them there. In batting, his defence needs more force; his shots on the off must be developed. A good field and throws quite accurately. J. A. ANGUS (Vice-Captain) : His bowling was an improvement over last year; he has developed much more speed, although he is too much inclined to bowl short. His batting went off very much and he seemed to have lost confidence. A good field but throws wildly. A good judge of a run. 0. J. A. CAVENAGH : A very poor starter, but once he settles down he can bat quite well. He must learn to leave that dangerous off ball alone. Fields well at point and throws accurately at a short distance. J. T. CLARKE: He seemed to have more confidence in his batting but seldom got going. A very good field in any position and throws very accurately. A. E. GILLESPIE: Started the season very well, but went off as time went on and seemed to lose confidence. Must learn to keep his legs out of the way; has been out too many times this way. A variable bowler, he bowls much better when he bowls fast. Much improved field. Good judge of a run. [ Page Seventeen
