SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE time score, 19 points to nil. University School started off well and looked dangerous for a time, Shawnigan having to touch down, but they were soon attacking again, and Mackie, kicking up the field and following up, was tackled on the line, a penalty try being awarded, the kick failing. Then came the best try of the match. A passing movement starting on the half way line saw Covernton over, after all the outsides had handled the ball. This try was not converted. Mackie, kicking over the fullback ' s head, scored again. Robertson converted this try. University rallied for a short while but could not finish their attack. The last try was scored by Robertson, who ran round the blind side of a five-yard scrum. This try was not converted. University then put up a strong defence and no further tries were scored. Shawnigan Lake School: Back, Dawson; three-quarters, Adams, Bird, Robertson, Covernton; five-eighths, Dyson, Mackie; half, Bradford; forwards, Lake (captain), Skrimshire, Shannon, Lawson, Pownall, Stirling, Homer-Dixon. Shawnigan Lake School vs. Brentwood In a game played at Brentwood on Saturday, November 26th, Shawnigan Lake School beat Brentwood 28-3. The home side started off with a strong rush and soon carried the play into the Shawnigan twenty-five, Todd shortly afterwards scor- ing a good try from a passing movement by the three-quarters. This try was not converted. Shawnigan then began to settle down better, and Bradford quickly equalized the score by dribbling through and falling on the ball. There followed a fairly long period during which the play was mostly in mid-field, Brentwood gaining ground with forward rushes while Shawnigan gained on three-quarter runs. The next two tries were both scored by Covernton after good passing move- ments by the Shawnigan three-quarter line, the kick failing in each case. The last score of the half came from a scrum on the Brentwood line, when the Shawnigan pack pushed the scrum over and fell on the ball. Half time score, 12-3. Brentwood pressed again at the beginning of the second half, and Shawnigan were forced to touch down after a penalty 16
