Shawnigan Lake School vs. Cranleigh House We played our return match against Cranleigh House in Victoria on December 2nd and sustained our first defeat. We did not take kindly to a wet ground and slippery ball, and before settling down we had two goals scored against us. In the second half we bucked up considerably, and al- though we were unable to score ourselves, we prevented any addition to theirs, leaving the score at the end of the game : Cranleigh House 2; Shawnigan 0. Shawnigan Lake School vs. Mr. Wingate White ' s XL Played on the school ground on January 20th. Unfor- tunately the opposing side fielded five men short, making it necessary to find last-minute substitutes. This was our first match in the Easter Term. Shawnigan 5; Mr. Wingate White ' s XL 0. Shawnigan Lake School vs. St. Michael ' s We played St. Michael ' s in the final for the Wilson Cup in Victoria on March 24th. ' St. Michael ' s got away to a good start with a strong wind in their favor, and not long after the start Redpath I. scored from a melee in front of goal. St. Michael ' s failed to take advantage of the wind, and just before half time Tryon evened matters for us by scoring ofr a beautiful centre from Edmonds. In the second half the School XI. were combining splen- didly, and Neel and Osier II. succeeded in adding three more goals to our score. St. Michael ' s were unfortunate in this half in having to dispense with the services of Haddon, who was obliged to leave the field through an injury. After the match the Cup was presented on the field by Mrs. Robertson. Final score: Shawnigan 4; St. Michael ' s 0. The Teams Shawnigan — Garrard ; Homer, Schwengers ; Morres, Hodgson.

MATCH REPORTS Shawnigan Lake School vs. Cranleigh House This match was played at Shawnigan on November 18th. the first match of the season. We settled down quicker than our opponents and Neel scored our first goal a few minutes after the kick-off. The chief danger to us lay in their right wing, who made several determined attempts to get through, but half time came without further score. In the second half Neel scored two more goals for the School. For the opening match the School were fairly well together in the forward line, th e backs also showing to advantage on the defensive. Final score — Shawnigan 3 goals ; Cranleigh House 0. % ;f: ijc ji 5J Shawnigan Lake School vs. Collegiate School Played at Shawnigan on November 25th. The game did not prove a very thrilling one and the only goal of the match was that scored by Neel in the first half from a penalty kick. The second half produced nothing beyond a very dull and uninteresting game. Final score — Shawnigan 1 ; Collegiate 0. Page Six

Shawnigan Lake School vs. Oak Bay Rep. Team Played on March 31st on our ground. The School put up a splendid fight against the Representative team of the Oak Bay Schools. The perfect understanding amongst our for- wards gave the opposing goal-keeper a bad time early in the first half, Osier II. having very bad luck in hitting the cross bar. Near half time Oak Bay opened the scoring with a goal from a scrimmage in front. In the second half the game opened out more and showed fine kicking on the part of the backs on both sides. After several good attempts by our forwards, Osier II. succeeded in scoring for the School, to be followed a few minutes later by a second goal for Oak Bay, and a very fine, keen game ended in our defeat by 2—1.
