Brentwood College Magazine R. LAMMERS: His batting has improved considerably. He is too prone to take a golf swing to a leg ball and to attempt to hit before he has his eye in. He has had to bear the brunt of the bowling and has done well when he has not sacrificed length for speed. W. WELLS : His wicket keeping has improved and throughout the season has allowed very few byes. He must learn to let the ball come to him and not to snatch at it, if he is to take it cleanly. In batting he must overcome the habit of trotting up the pitch to play a straight ball. C. E. JUKES : A good fielder and an accurate throw in. He must learn to play a ball on the off. A. W. CALHOUN : A very good fielder and a much improved bat, although still somewhat wooden. W. PlNCKARD: A good fielder. He has turned out to be a useful change bowler but must learn that long hops on the leg are expensive. C. GRAHAM: Somewhat stiff jointed in his fielding, he must learn to get down to a grounder and not be content with bending from the hips. A good catch and a much improved bat. D. HOMER-DlXON: A safe catch and a fair fielder. He must learn to play a straight ball and not treat every ball as a long hop on the leg. Also played: P. McRAE. Colours. CRICKET FIXTURES BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (34) vs. R.A.F. (117) (May 12, at Brentwood) The College was up against a much stronger team. L C Naylor played a good innings for the R.A.F. (34). Lammers bowled well for the school, taking 5 wickets for 45. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (3 2) vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (90) (May 23, at University School) Brentwood collapsed badly before the University School bowling. Carle ii played well for University, scoring 27 before being run out. Lammers was much the best of the Brentwood bowlers, with 5 wickets for 27 runs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (118) vs. ST. GEORGE ' S SCHOOL (84) (May 29, at Brockton Point, Vancouver) Brentwood, with more practise and experience, were in much better form in this match. May played sound, careful cricket for 27, while Pinckard (20) and Calhoun (15), not out, added to the total by vigorous hitting. Pitts proved overwhelming with the ball, taking 6 wickets for 11 runs. For the losers an excellent innings was played by St. Louis (36). BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (16) vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL (137 for 7 wickets) (June 5, at Shawnigan Lake) Brentwood met a very good school side and failed hopelessly before the bowling of Forrest and Barton of the winning side.

Brentwood College Magazine AS IN RUGBY, the Cricket team was very young and inexperienced, with the result that the whole team suffered from match nerves. There L were runs in the team but due to nervousness and over anxiety these runs were seldom obtained. The bowling of the side was very erratic and sometimes runs were hit very easily though we captured some very good wickets. Despite some excellent individual performances, the fielding was noticeably in- consistent. Owing to some late rugger games the pitch was very badly cut up and we were able to find no more than three good wickets. Pitts was awarded his colours for his usefulness to the side. Scott and May were awarded theirs for their batting. The annual match between the Lower and Upper House was won decisively by the Lower House. Cricket Characters J. A. McCLEAN: A good fielder, has some good forcing shots and bowls well when he con- centrates on length rather than speed. He has captained the team well and has got the most out of what was, at the beginning of the season, a not very promising side. J. W. PITTS A very fair point and a steady bat. He must learn to connect with the ball when he steps in front of his wicket. He has bowled well latterly. B. SCOTT: A stylish bat with some good scoring shots. He would do well to play himself in before trying to force the scoring. A poor judge of a run but a good fielder. L A. MAY: A slow scoring but stylish bat. He must learn to make a good forcing shot on the off. A very fair fielder. [Page Fourteen ]

Brentwood College Magazine BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (5,2) vs. R.A.F. (95 for 3 wickets) (June 10, at Brentwood) In the return match against the R.A.F., Brentwood again met a superior side and was outclassed. May played steadily and Lammers hit well at the end of the school innings. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (83) vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (38) (June 12, at Brentwood) In this return match Brentwood batting was much steadier. McClean played well for 22 and was well supported by Pitts (15), May (12) and Wells (11). Pitts also contributed largely towards the success of his team by taking 4 wickets for 7 runs. LOWER HOUSE (96) vs. UPPER HOUSE (52) The Inter-House match was played on June 8th. The issue of the match turned on the bowling, McClean and Lammers proving a stronger combination than Pitts and Oxenbury. McClean played a good innings for the Lower House (59), which won by 44 runs. i i i SEA CADET CORPS Having operated an Army Cadet Corps for two years with very little outside assistance, we decided, for a number of reasons to transfer our affections to the Senior Service. Accordingly in September we joined the Navy and since then, like good sailors, we have never looked back. H.M.C.S. Naden were indefatigable in their efforts to make the Corps a success and our performance at the inspection, carried out by Commander Kingscote on Speech Day, proved that their efforts had not been in vain. We were a new corps and were, as a result, short of much of the equipment which we would have liked but the wheels of the Navy grind slowly and this equipment will be forthcoming. We have already been promised a service whaler for this coming year. Twenty-one Cadets attended the first Sea Cadet camp to be held under the aegis (to borrow Commander Kingscote ' s favourite word) and on the whole it was a success. We camped in company with 162 Rainbow Sea Cadets on Comox Spit and more than held our own in smartness and efficiency. In the field of sport it is remarkable that in the Inter-Divisional track meet the Brentwood Cadets placed in all events and won several. Had the meet been on a Brentwood vs. Rainbow basis we should have won the meet with the greatest of ease. Yes, the camp was a success, we felt we might have learnt more in the time we spent there but the camp was an experiment and we may justly feel that we did our share in making it a success.
