TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD. WINTER SPORTS. Hockey. The prospects for Hockey this season were not of the best, as only two of last season ' s team were back, and the new material was very light, but in the only match played so Hir— against the town, in which, we were defeated in a holly contested game by 2 goals to i — they made up by their com- bination for any lack of weight. Several matches were arranged but owing to the unsettled weather they have had to be postponed. We have some very jiromising youngsters for our future teams, and the School as a whole has taken more interest this year in Hockey than ever before, which is chiefly due to having a rink on our own grounds. The Hockey Club wishes to thank the Masters for providing a rink, the want of which has been greatly felt in past years. THE SCHOOL. Notes. The Recohh e.xtends a hearty welcome to Mrs. Sey, who has t.iken Mrs. Jellett ' s place as matron. Mrs. Jcllett ' s place was an extremely hard one to fill, and w-e were indeed lucky to get Mrs. Sey, as her first term among us has shewn. Mrs. Jellett has gone to live in Toronto. Her loss was very much felt. During the years in which she was with us we learned to value and a])preciate her unwearying energy and kindness. No trifle was too small for her sympathy, and many a new boy will rememb- er her kindness to him during the trying ordeal of his first week away from home. Miss Browne is still with us, long may she he. The School would never be the same to us without her, and it is hard to find words to express what the School owes to one who has so faithfully served it for close upon fifteen years. A face that Old Boys will miss is Mrs. Montizambert ' s, who though she has gone to live in Toronto, must always be counted as one of ourselves. The little dances and teas, picnics and snowshoeing parties, which she was forever getting up, are things of the past maybe, but the memory of the bright, genial hostess will never pass away from the minds of old T. C. S. boys. We congratulate Mr. Frith on his I.eiinox- ville appointment. In the four years of their stay here, he and Mrs. Frith made many friends, and though they are so far away we hope we may have the pleasure of seeing them occasionally. Our loss is Lennoxvillu ' s very decided gain. Many of us will read the following notice, which we take from the (Guardian of December 29, with feelings of affectionate remembrance for our old Headmaster: The American Bishop of North Tokio, Dr. M ' Kim, has ap- pointed the Rev. Arthur Lloyd to be Presi- dent of St. Paul ' s College, Tokio, during the absence of the Rev. Theo. Tyng. Mr. Lloyd is an Englishman, late Fellow and Tu- tor of St. Peter ' s College, Cambridge; some- time S. P. G. missionary in Japan, and sub- sequently Headmaster of Trinity College School, Canada. The Rink. — At last we have a rink of our own. The Headmaster and the Staff have de- frayed the expense and are gradually to be recouped from the yearly subscription, which is less than that in town. The rink lies directly north of the new gymnasium and has been almost entirely built by our own exer- tions. Its measurements are 156 by 84. It is safe to say that we shall now be able to take our place in Hockey. The rink was a long felt want and its absence prevent- ed the younger boys learning the game pro- perly. There is lots of hockey talent in the school, which now ought to be speedily de- veloped. When the rink has been paid for it will become the property of the School, for the benefit of all. Fives — A board court has been put up in the southeast corner of the (gymnasium and the game is becoming popular. A cu[) has been promised and the ties will be drawn in Fei)ruary. The following boys left at the end of l.ist term : A. H. lirown (iii Form, ftockey Colours ' 97. Football Cap, ' 96 and ' 97), E. A. Skill (iii Form. Football Cap, ' 97), F. R. .Scovel (iv Form. Football Cap, ' 97), J K. G. Magee (iii Form), V. H. Har- vey (ii b Form). Urown has gone into the Bank of Hamilton. We shall all miss him, he was a most hardworking inside wing and was pretty sure of his colours this summer. E A. Skill is in the Rank of Montreal, I ' eterboro. F. R. Scovel was called to England suddenly on a sad errand on which he has our sincere sympathy.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD. always surh an t-njoyalile trip, thanks to the kiniint ' ss and hospitahiy of Mr. and Mrs. Mackcn ic, and swamped tlicir opponents liy a score ot 3J to S, and succeeded in beating tiie Town Third xv. twice. It is invidious to pick out any for special mention, l)ut the H.ick division, I ' ier- cy, I.ucas, Waison, Rathbun niaj. and the wee quarter, Avery, were c.ipital. ( louinlock and Auston m.ike two gooil scrummagers and know their work ; Plummer niin., I ' atterson maj. and Ramsay maj. also promise well. We suLjgest as the liest method of showing their appreciation, that these youngsters, when they rise to the dignity of the xv, hring home a series of victories over U. C. C. and Ridley. And now what lessons are we to learn from the year ' s experience? Of course we are handicapped ' ly b ing so far away from a football c ;ntre, but there are some things which we can rectify. We never have a back division at T. C. S , and it is high time that we began to train boys specially lor this pur- pose. ny boy that shows promise should be most carefully looked alter all through the school and encounged. He should be taught to catch, and made to prac- tice this as well as kicking and collaring, and kept among boys of his own calibre until he has gained strength and confidence. Another fault that needs amending is the slackness at practice. Boys turn up late with absolutely no reason, and when they do come have often not taken enough trouble to find out on whose side they are, and in the practices there is generally a marked absence of following up and rcilly hard work. Again there is the old fault that we seldom get to work at once. Even in matches, the play is very slack for the first few minutes. We seldom see boys practising collaring and catching ; the inability to catch tells heavily against us every year and only hard practice will remedy this. The failure to back up ' is another great fault and has lost us many P,nints; this can and must be rectified. There is also a tendency to practise and rely too much on gags, ' ' probably so called be- cause the side gets paralyzetl n trving to put them into e.xec.ition. There is but one rule for football as? for any other game; play the g.ime till you drop. A clean, straightfor- ward game is far the best and most paying in the end. Don ' t do too much training; a schoolboy should always be in good condi- tion; all that is necessary is to keep away from the tuck, to e.schew candies, pastry, ice cream and such like snares, and, may we add it, to keep out of detention. Practice should not be too long, twenty minutes each way, when we play on whole school day.s, is quite enough, provided everybody plays his hardest, on hall holidays the full time can be played; but it cannot be said too often that for a practice to do any good it must be vig- orous and keen, better none at all than a half- hearted practice. I ' lay u]), and play the game ! I ' he future of football just now is particularly bright, and two years should give us a grand team if present promises are ful- filled. The season of 1897 was not our best, but if it teach us to observe and practi.se some of the ()oints alluded to it will not be the least valliable in experience. The following were the xv : — Rack, G. St. G Baldwin, { ' 96- ' 97) ; Half-back.s, H. G. Brunton, ( ' 97) ; C. E. Duggan, ( ' 95 ' 96- ' 97) 5 W. I,. Reid, ( ' 97) ; Quarter-back, C. S. Mar- tin, ( ' 97) ; Scrummage, H. F. Osier, ( ' 97); F. V. B. Ridout, (97) ; F. Gerow, ( ' 97); Wings, R. J. Maclaren, ( ' 96- ' 97), outside; E. A. Hammond, ( ' 96- ' 97) outside; F. R. Scovel, ( ' 97) inside : A. H. Brown, ( ' 96- ' 97) inside; J. C. Patterson. ( ' 97) middle ; E. A. Skill, ( ' 97) middle; XC. Kitson, ( ' 97) middle ; E. J. L). Clarke, ( 97) miildle, played in all matches and as substitute for Patterson against U. C. C. He was given his cap, wh ich he certainly deserved. The Rev. J. Carter was heard of at the re- cent Church ongress in Nottingham. The Rev. F. DuMoulin is rector of a church on Euclid Avenue in (Cleveland. J. (). Brown is to be ordained shortly to a curacy at Old- ham, England. Mr. J. E. Birch, an old master, is now at the head of the Dominion College of Music in Ottawa, and .Mr. V. E. Green has just been appointed organist of a large church in Erie. Pa. Mr. E. L. Curry IS still at the High School in Montreal. ' The work now being done in Japan by Kennedy and Kakuzen, was specially noticed in the Epi|ihany . ppeal for Foreign Missions. Our old friend Mrs Rowe is also in Japan, engaged in Missionary Work. ' I ' he Church at Nagoy.i, to the building fund of which we sub cribed, has been completed, and is now open for Divine Service.
