SHAWNIGAN THIRD XV vs. DUNCAN SCOUTS Won— 35-0 The School side were rather too strong for the Scouts, who were very short of practice, but stuck to it well right to the end. The School were very inclined to be slack at times. They should remember that this sets a bad example and is useless to both sides. Bates alone played really well. Robin- son, Homer-Dixon, Barker (2), Taylor, Bates (2), Hyde, Shannon, Tryon, Savage, scored tries, and Hyde converted one. Scouts: Coller, Pitt, Reilly, L. Olmstead, Crane, McLaugh- lin, Calvert, Russell, Punnett, Garrison, M. Olmstead, Lang- lois, Bone, Aldersey, Gwyn. 17

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE On the same day Shawnigan Second XV beat the Brent- wood Second XV by 8 points to 5 points. Brentwood pressed from the kick-off, but good kicking by the Shawnigan back relieved pressure. Shawnigan attacked and nearly scored, but play was in mid-field for some time. Finally Bates got away to score for Shawnigan, and Hyde converted, 5-0. After half time, play was even, with the forwards doing most of the work. Then Robinson got away to score for Shawnigan, but the kick failed, 8-0. Brentwood threes pressed, and Thompson scored just before the final whistle. The try was converted.

FIRST ROUND OF THE HOUSE MATCHES LAKE ' S vs. COPEMAN ' S Wednesday, November 11th, 1931 Won by Lake ' s, 6-0 Play was very even at the start, but eventually Lake ' s forwards got the ball down to the opposing 25 line. Cope- man ' s relieved and pressed hard, but failed to score, mainly due to bad handling by their threes. Half time came with the score 0-0. On resuming, Lake ' s forwards rushed, and Housser scored. The kick failed, 3-0. Their forwards again attacked, Lake i scored from the line out, but the try was not converted, 6-0. Copeman ' s made a great effort in the last ten minutes, but Lake ' s defence kept them out. There was no further score.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Shawnigan: Nixon i, Robinson i, Dawson, Pearce i, Homer-Dixon, Barker (captain), Taylor, Bates, Hyde i, Shannon i, Tryon i, Innes, Stirling, Savage, Dyke. Characters E. M. Slater (Captain). Stand off half. Has a very quick brain for an opening, but must learn not to overdo the dummy. His kicking has greatly improved, but he is inclined to overdo this and starve his three-quarters in conse- quence. His tackling, too, which was, until this year, rather sketchy, improved. Has captained the side very well. J. F. Lake (Vice-captain). Forward. A real honest hard worker, always well up both in attack and defence. His hands and kicking are still rather poor, but are improving. Has led the forwards well. D. E. Bradford. Scrum half. A very sound and greatly improved player. Good both in attack and defence. Must try and learn to get the ball out a little quicker. A good kick. G. F. Dyson. Centre three-quarter. Rather on the slow side, but makes up for it by using his brains ; has a very deceptive run ; very good in defence ; fair kick. D. A. Ames. Wing forward. Rather disappointing. He does not seem to grasp what is happening quickly enough. Started the season quite well but faded away. Good place kick. Fair pair of hands. D. Macrae. Full back. Much improved in his tackling and kicking, rather inclined to delay his kick too long and get himself tackled with the ball. Positions himself well. A. G. Stewart. Forward. Has hooked quite well, but would have done better if he had paid more attention to what was told him. Always a hard worker, but must try and re- member that there are fourteen other players on the side.
