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.

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 G. F. McAulay. Forward. A good fast forward, always well up with the ball though inclined to hang about outside a loose scrum, when he should get his head down. Good in the line-out. E. G. Hunter. Centre three-quarter. Has the makings of a really good outside, but seemed to be always thinking of something else during a game. His hands were rather poor at times, also his kicking. J. Piddington. Forward. A hard worker, has the makings of a good front row forward, good dribbler, with a poor pair of hands ; tackling much improved. H. Housser. Forward. A very energetic player ; rather inclined to lose his head : Must try and learn the rules. Poor hands. G. R. M. Marshall. Wing three-quarter. Rather disinclined to go all out. Must try and improve his tackling. Quite a use- ful kick. The following played for the First XV but were not awarded their colours : W. F. S. Walker, J. Redden, J. R. Matthews, R. P. Douty. vJkjfcA «3l A Otrvvvx- - »x£L - - o A 19
