Russel max. Elinnthall The 1931 season was very unsatisfactory. The School, with the best team in many years, failed in the crucial Little Big Four games. After beating Pickering 10--3, Trinity 26-5, and the R.M.C. Juniors 14i3, the School were looked upon as having the best chance of winning the championship in years. But, when the big chance came, they did not pull through. Against S.A.C., who were a lighter team, the School line played well, while the half line were guilty of many misplays. Perhaps this accounted for the poor spirits of the team. They had no life, and S.A.C., who showed fight all the way, beat the School rather well, 15a-5. The next week, resolved to do better, the School, again against lighter opposition, were beaten. U.C.C. fought all through the game, while the School only showed real fight in patches. U.C.C. were outplayed but not outfought. The School should have played for single points instead of the major scores. In the last game, the School really came to life for the iirst half and played like demons against Ridley, who had beaten S.A.C. and U.C.C. Although we gained a lucky touch, the School dominated the play and were leading at half time. After half Lime, however, we lost our tight, and Ridley piled up a commanding lead. It was unfortunate for the School that the wind dropped during the last quarter. The main reasons that the School lost the Little Big Four games are that they did not iight and that they were too self-confident. It can be seen now that several changes might have been made that would have strengthened the team. The School were unfortunate in not getting a coach until after the R.M.C. game. However, Mr. Britton did his best with the team, as is shown by the Ridley game. The team could have had no bet- ter coach, and it is unfortunate that he did not come earlier. The team owes a great deal of thanks to Dr. Maynard, who did

The heats took place during the course of the week, and the finals were held on Saturday, September 19th. The weather throughout was ideal for athletics. The competition for putting the shot was rein- troduced after a lapse of three years, and proved popular. By far the finest performance was that of Combe, who won five out of the six Bigside events, which he entered. He appeared to win the mile and the hundred yards with equal ease. It was mainly due to his excellent running that Brent House regained the Read Cup from the Bethunes. OPEN EVENTS 100 yds.-1. Combe, 2. Ambrose max., S., 3. Cowperthwaite. 220 yds.-1.

FIRST TEAM MATCHES SCHOOL vs. PICKERING COLLEGE At Pickering, October 3rd, Our first game this year was against Pickering College. Pick- ering having played in Port Hope last year, we journeyed to New- market. Pickering gave us a very good game that was well worth the dusty field and the hot day. In the first period the School, playing under the O.R.F.U. rules, started off with a rush and gained yards several times before Pickering were able to stop them. Wynn and Ross did some fine plunging. Pickering were forced to kick and the School again marched up the field to within scoring distance. From about 30 yards out Ross kicked a touch in gaol for the School. Pickering soon retailiated and, after picking up a fumble, Rayner kicked to the deadline for Pickering. The School, in the second quarter, with the wind behind them started a march down the field, but fumbles and offsides forced them to kick. The Pickering half line fumbled and Duncanson fell on the loose ball, about 15 yards out. With perfect interference, Ross coasted over for an easy touch. It was not converted.
