SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE but a good dribble by the School forwards took the play to the other end. The Navy were penalized for footup, and Robertson kicked a good goal, 3-0. The School continued to keep up the pressure, and Bradford slipped round the blind side to score. Robertson converted, 8-0. Just before half time, a good three-quarter movement saw Mallam over for a try between the posts, which Robertson again converted, 13-0. The play after half time was very even, the Navy made several good attacks, but finished poorly. The School pressed hard at times, but were not able to get through the defence. No side came with the same score as at half time. The School on the whole did very well to hold the Navy side, as they were quite a heavier side. Lake led his side really well, and was well supported outside the scrum by Dyson and Bradford. Shawnigan: E. Scholefield (back), G. S. Covernton, D. F. Robertson, E. A. Riddell, P. S. Mallam (three-quarters), G. F. Dyson (five-eighths), D. E. Bradford (scrum half), C. Allen (wing forward), J. F. Lake (captain), J. A. Piddington, H. C. Housser, J. Matthews, C. F. Cautley, P. Skrimshire, C. P. Shannon (forwards). SHAWNIGAN vs. THE OLD BOYS At Shawnigan, October 12 Won— 10-0 The Old Boys started off by attacking strongly, but were kept out. A good movement by the School outsides took the play into the Old Boys ' 25. Robertson kicked a penalty goal for the School, 3-0. The play was centered in mid field for some time, neither side doing very much though tackling on both sides was good. Roaf and Ferguson looked as though they would score but nothing came of it, half time came with the score unchanged. The School started off in a very determined manner, and Bradford scored wide out, the kick failing, 6-0. The Old Boys again attacked, but good tackling by Bradford and Dyson kept them out. The School forwards, led by Piddington and Matthews, took the ball down to the Old Boys ' territory, and from a scrum near the 25 line Dyson dropped a good goal,

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FOOTBALL 1930-31 N the whole the football all through the School showed signs of improvement. The Colts especially have come on well, and several of the players should be very useful next year in either the first or second fifteens. Slater cap- tained the side well and was ably backed up by Lake as the leader of the forwards. The outsides, with the exception of Slater, Bradford and Dyson, were a rather slow thinking lot. Macrae, at full back, played some very good games, and his long touch finding was useful. Ames did not come up to last year ' s expectations of the forwards. Stewart, who was rather inclined to be wild, started to settle down into a very useful hard-working forward. Both Piddington and Housser have the makings of useful players. Lake succeeded Slater, who left at Christmas, as Captain of Football. SHAWNIGAN vs. H.M.C.S. SKEENA ' H.M.C.S. VANCOUVER and At Shawnigan on Saturday, October 3rd, 1931 Won— 13-0 The Navy sent up a fairly strong side, but took out some of their heavier players. From the kick off the School attacked but were not able to get through the defence. The Navy started to settle down and got well down into the School 25,

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 10-0. Play from now on was fairly even. The School took some time to settle down, and the forwards lacked cohesion, mainly due to the absence of Lake. The outsides on the whole were good, but they were inclined to try and do too much individual work. Further, they must get up on to their man more quickly. Matthews was awarded his first XV colours after the match. 1st RUGBY XV. Back Row — P. Davidson, G. P. McAulay, D. Macrae, G. F. Dyson, J. Pid- dington, W. F. S. Walker. Second Row — D. A. Ames, J.
