Brentwood College Magazine MATCHES 1942-43 BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. R.A.F. (Lost — 27-5) The R.A.F. out-weighted the Brentwood team and had much more experience, forcing Brentwood to play very much on the defensive. The R.A.F. made seven trys and four converts. Pinckard of Brentwood raced over the R.A.F. ' s line in the last few minutes of play. Pitts converted. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. VICTORIA COLLEGE (Lost — 10-3) In the first half the game was quite evenly matched but in the second half the superior weight of the Victoria College ' s scrum was to their advantage. Schinbein made Brentwood ' s try from a loose scrum. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (Lost — 14-10) Both teams were very evenly matched throughout the game. The play went from one end of the field to the other. Jukes made a very fine field goal. Pitts converted a free kick and Lammers contributed a try. The University School ' s three-quarter line was much faster than Brentwood. The Brentwood forwards pressed the University School forwards hard and never let up the pressure throughout the game. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (Lost — 3-0) This match was played in a downpour of rain, making the ground and ball slippery, so that the three ' s of both teams hardly touched the ball. It was a forward game and our forwards played very hard. Brentwood ' s dribbling was very good, therefore we were able to take the offensive most of the time. The only try was that of a University School player, who received a pass on the wing and was able to break through our line. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. NAVAL COLLEGE (Lost — 11-5) Brentwood was leading 5-3 at half-time but the superior weight of the Naval College out- matched us in the second half. Wells scored for Brentwood by picking up the ball from behind the scrum and crossing the Naval College ' s line. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. ST. GEORGE ' S (Vancouver) (Won — 6-0) Brentwood took the offensive from the first whistle and kept the ball well in the St. George ' s territory most of the game. The Brentwood forwards played together, heeling the ball clean. The trys were made by Schinbein and Pitts. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL (Lost — 8-5) The weather was perfect and both teams were very evenly matched, which resulted in a very hard fought game. Brentwood played on the offensive throughout the first half. Calhoun made a beautiful run down the middle of the field of about 60 yards to cross Shawnigan ' s line. The try was converted. McClean was injured at the beginning of the second half, which was a great loss to the team. From then on Shawnigan pressed Brentwood and was able to get eight points. [Page Twelve]

HOUSE MATCH (Lower House 17, Upper House 3) This match was, as always, one of the high lights of the rugger season. The House teams, as in previous years, were split up, the Lower House having the back field while the Upper House possessed all the forwards. The weather, being fine, was of great advantage to the winning side. As soon as the starting whistle went, both pressed hard. After about fifteen minutes of play, with both sides seesawing back and forth across the field, the Lower threes gathered the ball about the fifty yard line and made a strong running attack, culminating in a try by Birch- Jones. The Upper House, not to be outdone, took the ball in a forward rush and dribbled it for about thirty yards. Schinbein grounded the ball, giving the Upper House their only try. Seconds before the half-time whistle, Calhoun, Lower House stand-off, scored between the posts. This try was converted, making the half-time score 8-3 for the Lower House. After the interval, McClean scored from a fumble. The try was unconverted. The Lower forwards tackled the ball with their feet from a line-out and Levy grounded the ball just inside the corner flag. The last try was scored by Lewis after a splendid three-quarter run. The final score was 17-3 for the Lower House. An Old Boy, Lt. -Commander G. Davidson, R.C.N. , refereed the match. [Page Thirteen]
