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 ]

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.

Shaavnigan Lake School Magazine With the score 11-3 against them, it looked as though the best that Shawnigan could do would be to avoid defeat by too large a margin. But after half-time a remarkable change came over the game. The forwards, who had been rather lethargic, began to play like a winning- pack, and the backs were given a chance to show their speed. Within ten minutes the scores were level. First Fleck picked up a loose ball and charged through for a try in the corner, and then Lake, following- up fast after a free kick, gathered a fumble and fell over the line for Fleck to kick a goal. Shawnigan were attacking continuously now, and first Fleck and then Nanson broke away, but were tackled close to the line. The pace was very fast, and Victoria College, who were playing uphill, began to tire. But their defence held out under pres- sure and it was beginning to look as though the game would end in a draw, when Nanson finished a good three-quarter movement by pass- ing inside for Fleck to score. Fleck also kicked the goal. There was no more scoring and the end came a few minutes later with Shawni- gan still attacking. It was a well deserved victory for the School. The forwards played really Avell in the second half and were better together and quicker on the ball than their opponents. Much credit also is due to Fleck, who, besides doing two men ' s work in defence, captained the side excellently. Shawnigan Team: Vaughan ; Nichojls, Nanson, Fleck, Pearce; Burns; Wheeler; Hickey, Leir, Lake, Steiwer, Ley, Oxholm, Flynn, Sloan. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL 1ST XV VS. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE The match between Shawnigan and Brentwood was played at Shawnigan on November 18th and resulted in a win for the visitors by 6 points to 3. Brentwood kicked off and gradually forced the play to Shawni- gan ' s twenty-five. A quick heel led to a good three-quarter movement. Faulty tackling by our centres permitted a break through and Brent- wood scored in the corner. The kick at goal was not successful. Brentwood Avere backing up excellently and getting the ball away at good speed. Two determined attacks were repulsed by timely kick- ing, but after only ten minutes of play Brentwood scored again, when Angus was allowed to run through the defence for a second uncon- verted try. LTp till now the game had been all Brentwood and they deserved their lead. Shawnigan, however, fought back. Although beaten in the line-out, the forwards Avere beginning to have the better of the scrums, and the backs Avere given a chance to sIioav their speed. But despite determined efforts neither side Avas able to score again before half time. Early in the second half, Fleck brought the play to Avithin ten yards of Brent Avood ' s line with a fine run.
