Ley (U) defeated R. Lammers (L). i i i BADMINTON The interest shown in badminton throughout the entire season has been exceptionally keen, particularly among the juniors. This was proved by the large number of twenty-five entries in the Junior Singles Tournament. During the Summer term a team from the R.A.F. came over for a match which the school won with ease. The Inter-House matches were played in the Lent term, and although there were some upsets among th Juniors the Lower House won the cup. Three members of the team were invited to Patricia Bay to watch some matches played by ex-champions of Canada and other fine players. School Championships Senior Singles — A. Cavenagh; Runner-up, A. E. Gillespie. Senior Doubles — G. Underbakke and J. Clarke; Runners-up, A. Cavenagh and A. E. Gillespie. Junior Singles — P. Cherniavsky; Runner-up, R. Young. Junior Doubles — J. Pitts and C. Graham; Runners-up, P. Cherniavsky and S. Wallace. [Page Twenty- four]

Brentwood College Magazine Cricket Ball (Open) — Underbakke (95 yards 2 feet 2 inches) ; Pinckard; Gillespie. Shot Put (Open) — Underbakke (36 feet 8 inches) ; Angus; Clarke. Sack Race (Open) — Young; McCulloch. House Relay — Lower House (1 minute 15 seconds). i i i ROWING More boys took part in the rowing and sculling this year than for some years past. Every fine day of the summer term the shells could be seen criss- crossing the Inlet. From time to time the four was taken out, but because of lack of experience and the shortness of the term, was not entered in any competition. The Open Sculling final and the Inter-House race were rowed in one race. Schinbein defeated Gillespie, which gave Schinbein the Senior Sculling Trophy and kept the cup in the Upper House. Jukes won the Junior Trophy by a victory over Lewis. i i i SAILING During the winter months much time was spent in scraping, painting and varnishing the three sailing dinghies, and at the first hint of fine weather they were put in the water. Sailing began with much enthusiasm which continued right up to the end of term. Unfortunately the weather never gave much more than a hint of being fine, so the sailing opportunities were limited. Neverthe- less, when we did sail, the breezes were better than last year. Lack of wind made it impossible to complete the racing schedule and no champions were declared. i i i TENNIS Unfortunately we were not able to complete the second tennis court which was started last year. This was partly due to many rainy days and partly to the shortness of the season. Only one match was played this year and that was against an R.A.F. team. The school team, composed of J. Clarke, J. McClean, J. Angus, C. Graham. [ Page Twenty -three]

Brentwood College Magazine Inter High School Track and Field Championships Sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. At the last minute it was decided to enter an eight-man team in these cham- pionships held in Victoria on Wednesday, June 3, 1942. Because our own Sports Day had been held some time prior to this and most of the boys had broken training, great hopes were not held for our success. But when the last race had been run great was our joy to discover that Brentwood had edged out Oak Bay High School by the slim margin of one-half point. This result was all the more creditable when it is considered that the enrollment of the schools against which we were competing is many times greater than ours. In presenting the McClennan, McFeely Prior Perpetual Trophy to the school for amassing the most points, Mr. McKinnon, the Physical Director of the Y.M.C.A., stated that Gillespie, who had won three events, was probably the outstanding athlete at the meet. The school won points in the following: 100 yards — Pinckard (second). 440 yards — Gillespie (first). 220 yards — Pinckard (third). 880 yards — Gillespie (first). Broad Jump — Pinckard (third). Medley Relay — (Third). High Jump — Gillespie (first); Clarke (third). Shot Put — Underbakke (first); Clarke (second). [Page Twenty-five]
