The Bloor Juniors proved easy for Mr. Horning's thundering herd. The score was 16 to 0. Those who shone, but there's no point in reproducing the line-up here. On Tuesday, Western Tech. succum- bed 39 to 0, while the Oakwood stars played the funeral march and the water-boy ran wild with the pail. Mr. Dunkley had it all planned that Humberside was to fall but neglected to tell them. The rascallv ruffians eradicated us 10 to 7 in a bruising battle and our chan- ces went out the window. All this despite the brilliant tackling of Little Bruce MacLean and the plunging of Big Wally Della- bough. The mighty midgets under the leadership of Art Messinger flashed around the ends, tore through the middle and scampered down the broken field as though they enjoyed it. This marvellous Humberside Collegiate detests de- feat so Messy didn't bear down too hard. He let them off with a 14-7 beating. Harbord was to vanquish Hum- berside while Oakwood was defeat- inf: Parkdale, thus tying up second place. We carved out a 4 to 0 vic- tory, but Harbord fell down. So passed the Seniors! The Parkdale youngsters were white-washed by the Fenner-Ar- nup-Messinger clan 11 to 0. Shad- es of Teddy Reeves, but how that lanky lad McLean leans on that line! Our Juniors seventh consecutive win was from N. Toronto in the semi-finals. Bloor and Malvern furnished a curtain-raiser for this important tilt. The losers te1'med it a beastly day but we did not mind it so much. Mr. Horning's proteges ripped out a 22 to 1 vic- tory, and the result was never in doubt. As Oakwood and A. W. Dunkley are synonomous the pa- pers lost no time in vigorously as- serting that the afore-mentioned THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Page Forty-Om 1

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.
