ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL Association Football was again played regularly in the Easter Term, and appears to be increasing in popularity. The Seniors as a whole showed better ball control than last year but still lacked combination. Two exciting matches were played against the Staff, both of which were drawn. The Colts also played two matches, los- ing 2-0 to Glenlyon School and defeating Qualicum Beach School 3-0.

Shawnigan Lake School Magazine FENCING TEAM 1939 M. Gandossi, R. H. Milne, W. T. S. Pearce, J. A. Burns. B. C. CHAMPIONSHIPS The Semi-Final and Final pools of the B. C. Men ' s Foil Champion- ship were held at the School on March 25th. After some good fencing Pearce headed the final pool and retained for Shawnigan the Cham- pionship won last year by Bell. Out of an original entry of fifty-four, thirteen contestants took part, five from Vancouver, four from Vic- toria, and four from the School. Milne, Pearce, Burns and Gandossi were our entrants. Milne, who had been fencing well throughout the season, unfortunately lost his form and was eliminated in the first pool, while Burns just failed to qualify from the second. In the final, Pearce fenced exceptionally well and quite overshadowed the rest of the competitors, winning five fights in succession and only once being taken to the last hit. He also retained the Cup for the best stylist. Gandossi ' s performance in placing fifth in his first year in the team was also most creditable. [ 20 ]

VICTORIA COLLEGE ON November 1th, the School played Victoria College at Shawni- gan and won an exciting game by two goals and two tries (16 points) to one goal and two tries (11 points). Soon after the kick- off, Shawnigan scored an unconverted try through Nicholls, but for the rest of the half were mainly on the defensive. The forwards were being beaten in the scrimmages, and when they did get the ball their heeling was too slow and the backs had few chances. Victoria Col- lege, making the most of their opportunities, scored three tries, two of which were converted. Their three-quarters were fast and com- bined well, often catching the defence on the wrong foot. Fleck and Vaughan tackled well but the other outsides were slow at coming up and allowed their opponents too much room in which to develop their attacks. [ 22 ]
