Open Rugby y M BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, Marsh, Moffat, Logan, Halliday, Manbert, Keates, Stoneham, Benson, Woolley, Giroday, Washington, Mr. Washington. MIDDLE ROW: Grimes, Day, Leggat, McKenzie, Green. McCarter, Hubnar. FRONT ROW: Jennings, Piatt, Jackson, Withey, Merrill, Burke. For a rugby team to be a good one, it requires fifteen players who have the intelligence and ability to play the game well. For a rugby team to be a great one, a championship one, it requires more than that. It requires a man who has such a knowledge of the game that he can baffle even the most ex- perienced opposition with a multitude of intricate plays, both offensive and defensive; a man whose feel for the game is such that he is able to demonstrate a dimmiy that would do Barry John proud one moment, and hook with the best of them the next; and finally, a man who can stir such a pride in a team that would make them eager to take on even the New Zealand All-Blacks (and give them the wind in the first half).

r c- . ' - V r 5 Washington. It was he who riveted our attention to the projection-room blackboard until leather balls oozed from our ears. It was he who was the cause of all the sheets which were torn by boys passing rugby balls in their sleep. And yes- it was he who devised the dreaded (Oh horror!) fartlek, those two soul destroying miles of wheelbarrows, piggybacks and other assorted bodily tortures. Indeed, for the first two weeks of the spring term, Jim Washington was undoubtedly the most unpopular man on campus. The results however were inevitable and the team won all but one of our exhibition matches. Our loss to Victoria Park, a superb team, was a learning experience for all and gave us the stiff kick in the pants which got us rolling right to the I.S.A.A. championship. Our first and perhaps most closely conteste d match found us locking heads with Ridley. We emerged victorious with a 9-3 score and special credit must go to the hard-driving forwards, particularly John Piatt, Ron Withey, Paul Grimes and our fearless leader, Frazer McKenzie. Several backs too, deserve honourable mention. Lang Moffat, Don Green and our assistant captain Graham Leggat led us to an undefeated championship of the I.S.A.A. Congratulations to all involved.
