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.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE the ground, but good kicking by Scholefield drove them back. Again the Brentwood forwards took the ball down, and Mitchell kicking over the full back ' s head scored a clever try for them, the kick failing. Shawnigan again attacked hard, but were unable to get over, the forwards were getting the ball well in the scrum, but good tackling by the Brent- wood outsides prevented any score. Half time came with the score 0-3 for Brentwood. On resuming, Shawnigan pressed hard, and after a few minutes a good three-quarter movement in which all the Shawnigan outsides handled the ball, saw Riddell over for a try, which Robertson converted with a good kick, 5-3. Again Shawnigan attacked but were driven back. The Brentwood forwards were getting the ball very frequently now, but their outsides were not able to do anything with it, largely due to bad handling and good tackling by the Shawnigan outsides. During the last five minutes of the game, the extra weight of the eight Brentwood forwards began to tell on the Shawnigan seven, and Shawnigan were slowly driven back, but good kicking by Dyson relieved the pressure. Just before time Brentwood made a very strong attack but were held. No side came with the score as before stated. For Brentwood, Mitchell, Sharland and Wood were the most conspicuous. For Shawnigan Lake, Bradford, Dyson, Riddell, Robert- son and Mallam stood out, though the whole side played well, the passing and tackling of the outsides was good all, through.
