The Seniors upheld our traditions, by passing out in the heat of a battle with old Leap Year Jinks. But, whoopee! what a younger set. Out of a squad well up in the fifties, Mr. Horning pick- ed an aggregation of stars euual to any this illustrious college has produced. November 1-lth., which, incidental- ly, was a Wednesday. The Seniors landed a sock on old L. Y. Jinks' jaw by Winning the first game of the season. Fa1'ah S.: Co., took the Harbordites into camp to the tune of 15 to Med- lock, who learned how to plunge helping his mother shop at Lob- law's on Saturday nights, and Stainton, who always keeps in trim by making spi1'ited dashes for the door when the bell rings for lunch, scintillated. The daily news- papers remarked that Oakwood does not look as powerful as the team that won the senior cham- pionship last sesaon, lacking its great backfield, although the line is as strong as ever. But, between you and me and the gate-post, a certain gentleman named James Greig would have made a differ- ence on that line. The Juniors stepped into the Hai-bord representatives and des- pite the fine tackling of M. Cohen of the visitors, 'tArtful Arthur Messinger directed an assault which resulted in a 16 to 5 win for our lads. Three new planets swam into our ken in the form of Much- Pagc Thirty-Nine

THE OAKWOOD ORACLE er MacPherson, a diminutive Jinnnp Greig, Harold Arnup of the flying' feet and fists, and Bruce Fenner, the find of the season. One rabid rugby fan asks can any good thing come out of soccer? and, boy, what an answer! On Oct. 12th, the St. Clair school, as they call us in the pap- ers, scored a double win over Connnerce. The seniors' experience proved the deciding factor against an inexperienced Commerce team. llozak, the hefty, scored a try and Stainton, in fine form, kiekecl eight points. The game ended with Oakwood on the heavy end of a 1:3 to 5 score. Mr. Dunkley was genuinely worried as it looked as though the lads were going' to win the championship and then what would happen to that celebrated Jinx? The Junior game was a runaway for Oakwood, the rangy Fenner leading the stampede with his long JUNIOR S O dashes in the open field. All the Oakwood backs took a turn at long runs after breaking' through the Commerce line or around the ends. The score was 24 to 1. This was Bloor's year in Senior Rugby and our old friends below the tracks produced a team which need not take a back seat in any rugby realm. This is all leading up to the declaration of Jimmy Loftus, well known sports writer, that this year's city champions are not in the same class as the Gil- more, Greig, Dargayel, Reid Com- bination of last year. Well that's some consolation! At quarter time Oakwood was leading 1 to tl, and by the half-way period it had de- veloped into a neck-and-neck race, each with five points. Bloor added two points in the third and two touches in the last when the huge crowd packed the field and dark- ness hid the ball. C ER TEA M ltack llow: l . W. Illzithwayt, IVI. Miller, R.
