Shawnigan Lake School Magazine ments, many came from clever individual openings, intelligent backing up and determined running. The actual tries were scored by Day I and Smith ( 3 ) , Torland and Hay ward ( 2 ) , Burchard I, Mcintosh and Moore ( 1 ) . Much praise was due to the Shawnigan forwards who gave their outsides such a lion ' s share of the ball, and were not afraid to make passing movements of their own. They were particularly effective in the loose scrums, in which they worked as a unit and not as seven individuals. St. George ' s never gave up and played a losing game well. They were unlucky to lose a three-quarter injured in the second half of the game. Several of their forwards were good individually, and some of the outsides tackled well, but the pace at which the game was played and of the School outsides was too fast for them. Shawnigan Lake School 2nd XV vs. University School 2nd XV Won 3 3-0 In the 2nd XV match, which was played before the 1st, Shawnigan won 33-0, after a game in which the whole side showed very promising form. Tries were scored by Milne ( 3 ) , Niven and Hicks (2 ) , McPherson and Taylor ( 1 ) . Niven converted three, and also placed a penalty goal. Shawnigan Lake School Colts XV vs. Brentwood College Colts XV Won 30-6 At Brentwood, Shawnigan Colts defeated Brentwood Colts by 30-6. Shawnigan pressed from the start and after five minutes McPherson scored an unconverted try from a scrum on the Brentwood line. Almost immediately Butts scored a second try after a good three-quarter movement. For some time after play was in midfield with the Brentwood forwards controlling the game. Further tries were scored before half time by Butts and Niven, neither of which were converted. After the interval Brentwood improved and taking the ball to the Shawnigan line by a series of forward rushes, Hinton scored in the corner. Shawnigan came back and Butts scored, Fleck converting. The Brent- wood forwards, however, were now playing very strongly and after some good spoiling scored a second try through Quist. Some good kicking by Fleck then took the ball to the Brentwood 2 5 and with Brentwood backs tiring, further tries were added for Shawnigan by Barker (2) and McPherson. Fleck con- verted two of these. Shawnigan won mainly owing to the superior handling of their outsides and better hooking in the set scrums. The Brentwood forwards were better in the line outs and loose scrums, but their backs failed to make the best of their opportunities. Shawnigan Lake School Colts vs. Brentwood College Colts — Won 51-0 This match played at Shawnigan on November 21st was too one-sided to be of any interest. In Niven 2 the School had a player who was too good for this type of football, as Jie was able to run through the opposition almost at will. Tries were scored with monotonous regularity by either Niven or McPher- son, except when Matthews 2 on one occasion ran through the entire oppo- sition from a kick off, and when Spencer showed that the younger members of the team also could score tries, if the ball was passed out to them. As Niven failed to convert nine successive tries in the second half, it would have relieved the monotony if he had let other members of the side see what they could do. Brentwood never gave up trying, and when they did get the ball they showed a readiness to throw it about, while Rogers did some well-judged kicking for them. — 20 —

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine minutes, though Brentwood never looked particularly likely to score except thanks to our mistakes. Then we broke away, and the side at last started work- ing smoothly; after a number of good movements by Smith, Day and Moore scored tries, one of which Moore converted. For us the outsides as a whole were disappointing; they moved more slowly and their handling was more uncertain than usual. The only exceptions were Day and Torland, both of whom played an extremely good game. All the for- wards played a hard, though sometimes clumsy, game, with Gardner perhaps outstanding. Shawnigan Lake School vs. University School — Won 11-8 In the 1st XV match at University School, Shawnigan won 11-8, after being led 8-0 at one period of the game. The game started at a great pace, University School playing a bustling type of game, their forwards breaking up very quickly, and their outsides lining up straight most of the time, and marking very closely. After about five minutes ' play one of their backs kicked ahead over the goal line, and following up fast scored a rather lucky try. They continued pressing, and after some time Huff dodged through a crowd of players to score another try that was converted. After this our three-quarters began to settle down and shortly before half-time Gardner forced his way over after a touch on their line. After half-time play continued very hard, with University School still in our half most of the time, but they gained ground mainly by forward rushes, and their outsides never looked dangerous or likely to score. Then we rushed the ball up the field, and after a penalty for offside against several of their outsides, Niven dropped a penalty goal. The game remained very even, until Moore got the ball on our twenty-five, and after dodging several opponents handed on to Burchard who drew the full-back before passing to Day, who scored behind the posts: Moore converted. After this we held off any attacks easily, and a very exciting game ended with us pressing hard. Honours went to the forwards, especially Gardner and Mcintosh, who held their own against a very strong pack. The outsides never got going against some very quick and determined tackling, and there was too much wild and lobbed passing, which often lost a lot of ground. The University School pack was always a menace, but their outsides were undistinguished apart from some excellent kicking, and very good tackling. Shawnigan Lake School vs. St. George ' s School, Vancouver — Won 53-0 This match was played at Shawnigan Lake on Saturday, December 5 th, and resulted in a rather one-sided victory for Shawnigan by seven goals and six tries to nothing (5 3-0). The weather was foggy and wet, so that under these con- ditions the handling of the Shawnigan outsides was excellent, and they also had the pace of the opposition. The shades of night were falling fast when the whistle blew for no-side. During the first ten minutes play was very even, St. George ' s packing eight against seven in the scrum, getting a slight advantage. At the end of this period Shawnigan set up their first attack and from the time that Torland slipped over for the first try from a scrum close to the line, tries came at regular intervals. Considering the heavy state of the ball Moore did well to convert seven of the tries, even if some of them were from, easy positions. The outsides played most unselfishly, and while several tries were the result of orthodox passing move- — 19 —
