SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE After half-time the faults of the Shawnigan side became more pronounced with the result that Brentwood broke away and scored twice, one of the tries being converted, 15-3. For Brentwood, Wilson scored two tries, and Angus played well at stand-off-half. For Shawnigan, Barker and Bates alone of the outsides showed any initiative, though Graham, at full back, got through a lot of useful work, which devolved on him owing to the poor tackling of the three-quarters. Among the for- wards Shannon ii played well. Brentwood: McCoffrey i, Thomson, Clarke, Mayhew, Ritchel, Wilson, Angus (captain), Mackie, Elmore, Lawson, Roberts, Brennon, Lott, Campbell i, Campbell ii. Shawnigan: Graham, Robinson i, Bell, Homer-Dixon, Barker, Graburn, Bates, Shannon i, Shannon ii (captain), Hyde i, Innes, Plummer, Pownall, Thorneloe, Allen. SHAWNIGAN SECOND XV vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SECOND XV November 7th, 1931, at Shawnigan Won— 12-3 Play was kept in mid-field for some time until Barker, with a long kick, carried the attack into University ' s 25, and Bell scored. The kick failed, 3-0. University pressed hard but a kick by Dawson relieved pressure. The School followed up well and Barker scored. The kick failed owing to the slippery ball, 6-0. Davis nearly scored for University but a 25 kick resulted. The play was fairly even until half-time. At the resumption of play Shawnigan attacked hard and looked dangerous. University replied with a determined at- tack and Dobell scored. The kick failed, 6-3. Bell tried a penalty drop kick for Shawnigan but narrowly missed. From a scrum near the University line Bates forced his way over, the kick failed, 9-3. A few minutes later, from a loose scrum near the line, Barker scored for Shawnigan, 12-3.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 26-0. The Navy made a very strong attack just before the end, but were unable to score. The whole School side played really well, the outsides have at least learnt that it pays to get the ball quickly out to the wing. It would be difficult to pick out any individual as being better than the others, they all took their passes well and at full speed. In the whole game only three passes were fumbled. Again Lake led his forwards well, and they backed him up all the time, and never gave up. They were up against rather a heavier scrum, but pushed hard and got the ball out most of the time. Mallarrv Riddell and Robertson were awarded their first XV colours after the match. Shawnigan: E. D. S. Scholefield (back), G. S. Covernton, E. A. Riddell, D. F. Robertson, M. C. Adams (three-quarters), G. F. Dyson, P. S. Mallam (five-eighths), D. E. Bradford (scrum half), J. F. Lake (captain), J. A. Piddington, H. C. K. Housser, J. R. Matthews, J. R. Doull, C. F. Cautley, P. Skrim- shire (forwards). Navy: Smith, Wilmot, McCaubrick, Mundie, Williams, C. Smith, Gervais, Freeman, Callmill, McSwien, Jackson, Parkinson, Courville, Massingham, Sullivan. SHAWNIGAN 2nd XV vs. BRENTWOOD 2nd XV At Brentwood, Saturday, October 24th, 1931 Lost— 3-15 The second XV thoroughly deserved to lose this game, for, though up till half-time they held Brentwood fairly well, they never looked capable of winning. The three-quarters were ineffective both in attack and defence, and the forwards lacked cohesion and a leader. Brentwood scored first, with an un- converted try, to which Shawnigan replied with their one concerted effort of the game, Shannon ii getting over after a good forward rush, 3-3. There was no further score until Angus dropped a goal for Brentwood just before half-time, 7-3. 12
