Forced to take over the position of scrum half late in the season, he was not only the outstanding player on the side but he gave the team the captaincv needed to spur them to the fullest effort. The second fifteen also showed a much livelier spirit than in some former years. In practice matches with the lirst fifteen they refused to be overawed and scored more often in one season than other second fifteens have done in ten. And when their chance came against more equal opponents they showed the way to their seniors by swamping Brentwood 2nd XV by 32 points to 6. 1st RUGBY FIFTEEN Back row: D. C. Barton, E. C.

We beat Brentwood and St. George ' s for the first time since 1938 and although we lost to University School the game provided fast excit- ing football and was closer than the score indicates. In the other matches Ave were faced with heavier and more experienced opponents and we were unfortunate in the matter of injuries, but the team played better football than has been seen at Shawnigan for some years. With a light threequarter line and a slow and inexperienced pack of forwards the side had to rely on solid scrummaging and general teamwork. By the end of the season the forwards were more than holding their own even against much heavier opponents. And the backs made up for their lack of thrust in attack by keen and courageous tackling. Hickey, who was out of the side for three matches through injury, had much to do with the successes [ 22 ]
