Shawnigan Lake School Magazine second penalty goal was scored, giving them a comfortable lead of ten points. At the beginning of the second half it looked as though Shawni- gan might make a recovery. The forwards began to get the ball from the scrummage and Fleck and Nanson both started dangerous rims. Fleck just missed kicking a penalty goal from far out, but from the drop-out the ball was fumbled and a good forward rush took the ball to our end where Ave were penalised for lying on the ball, and the third penalty goal was kicked. From then on St. George ' s were always the winning side. Our three-quarters tackled manfully and Fleck made several magnificent kicks to relieve pressure, but the for- wards were a beaten pack and in the last ten minutes St. George ' s increased their score with two unconverted tries.

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL This match, which was played at Shawnigan on December 2nd, was well fought out at a good pace. After a hard struggle, Shawni- gan won by a goal and a try (8 points) .to nil. The game opened with play fast and mostly in mid-field. Shawni- gan were getting the ball more frequently than their opponents, and when the ball reached the three-quarters, they moved quite well, but far too many bad passes were given. Fleck made a good attempt to drop a goal but was wide, and then for some time University were dangerous. After a period of pressure, Nicholls scored for Shawni- gan after a very neat piece of passing. Fleck, from near the touch- line, failed to convert the try. University, Avhose three-quarters were fast and determined, then attacked for some time, but keen tackling kept them out. Leir, at scrum-half, played very well during this time, and Fleck ' s kicking was invaluable. When Shawnigan again attacked, several good chances were lost by faulty passing. There was a series of scrums on the LTniversity goal line just before half time, but their defence held out and the score at the interval was still 3-0. In the second half, University, playing up-hill, began to get the ball more often in the scrums and play went from one twenty-five to the other, with each side attacking in turn. Fleck made a good kick ahead and followed up hard, but was stopped. Sloan stopped a dangerous rush by University, and Shawnigan again pressed ; a pass went astray and Thorne was nearly through for University, but was stopped a few yards from our goal line. After more mid-field play, Fleck snapped up a fumbled pass on the centre line and raced down the field for a try which Nanson converted. The rest of the game [ 25 ]

All his life had been spent in the village of Katsuza which nestled on the coastline of great Nippon. The brisk sea air and the hardy work of a fisherboy ' s life had developed him into a fine strong youth of seventeen. One morning a man came to his father ' s cottage and told Watitsi that he must leave his work and join the army. Although he was sorry to leave his home, he felt proud that he would fight the Chin- ese barbarians and win glory for his Emperor and Nippon. Slowly the last few Japanese islands disappeared from Watitsi ' s tear filled eyes as the troop ship headed Avest to China. The green- sloped shores never had meant so much to him as they did that day. The next feAv Aveeks Avas a nightmare for poor Watitsi. Attacks, retreats, ambushes and the eternal raids of the peasant guerrilas were foreA er robbing him of his comrades and he began to feel dis- heartened. ' Banzai, Nippon, ' he had cried as he fought in the first Aveek, but only muttered curses escaped his lips noAV. [ 27 ]
