Brentwood College Magazine WE STARTED off the season with a much lighter and less experienced team than in previous years but the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and determination of each member was so high that these three elements made a true rugger side. Credit must also be given to the 2nd XV for their support on the sidelines and for their great help in practises. For the first time, the 2nd XV won their match against the University School. This match showed the spirit which our future teams will have. Colours were awarded to V. G. Holland, J. W. Pitts, C. E. Jukes, R. G. Lammers, W. Pinckard, F. Oxenbury. Rugby Characters J. E. SCHINBEIN (Captain), Forward: Was undoubtedly the mainstay of the forward line. He was always up on the ball in the thick of the action and never let up until the final whistle. Reliable in offense or defence. A good tackle. J. A. McCLEAN (Vice-Captain), Wing Three-Quarter : He always played and tackled hard and with great keenness. He made some very good kicks ahead and across, thus opening up the game. He kept the three ' s in their places. He covered a lot of ground by using his weight and speed. A. W. CALHOUN, Stand-off half: He always plays a hard game with much determination. Although not playing in his best position he did very well when once he had the ball. His handling has improved. He should use his speed to better advantage. His tackling was not up to the rest of his game. [Page Ten]

Can the cares of our world and sorrows, our love, our hate and our pain, Become but a tiny point of light in a pool which the driving rain In a world a million miles away has left on some arid plain? Does some weary, heart-sick warrior glimpse, in a woodland stream On a distant star, our war-torn Earth as a faintly flickering gleam? And does some storm-tossed sailor, with terror in his eyes, His ship into haven and safety guide by the light of our Earth in his skies? Oh hope of the world and fear of the world reduced to a spark of light Concealed and revealed in an alien sky by the clouds of an alien night! [Page Nine]
