QU TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD School then began a march up the field with some good running by Combe and some fine plunging by Duncanson, Ross and Wynn. This finally resulted in a touchdown for the School, Wynn going over. From then on the School looked as though they would have the game their own way. Soon after, by means of some hard plunging and running, Ross went over for the School's second touch. After the kick-off the School faltered for a minute or so on their 10 yard. line. 'Srinity got their only points of the game when Welch broke through on an end run and intercepted a pass. The try was not converted.

In the fourth quarter the School kept the play pretty well down in the Trinity half of the field, and Ross and Wigle were able to kick three points.

Thin was one of the most enjoyable trips that the team had this fazisnn. R.M.C. were very good hosts and allowed us to have lunch in the mess, :in exceptional privilege for civilians. The School were weakened in this game, Duncanson and Brough- all hr-ing out with injuries. R.M.C. had a heavier line. lt was a nasty clay for rugby. Snow and rain fell all through the g'tm.- :md left the field about an inch deep in mud, with the result that the ball was extremely difficult to handle and fast tricky plays were impossible. The first h'tlt' was pl iyed under Junior Intercollegiate rules. li.M.C. kicked-o:'t'. anti, on the first down, Wynn plunged for about 20 yards. This set the School on their feet and they gained a. great deal of confidence. However, they were forced to kick. Wigle's

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 159 The School worked the ball down the field again and, after hold- ing Pickering, were in a scoring position, from which Ross kicked another deadline. The School's defence was excellent and Pickering never gained yards, being forced to kick. The School, helped by the strong wind at their backs, gained yards on the exchange of kicks, and Ross soon hoisted another deadline. The half ended with the School forcing Pickering back into a scoring position. T. C. S. 8. Pickering 1. I In the second half the School lost their spirit for a few minutes and Pickering forced the play: they were beginning to recover from their surprise and the School were forced back. With the wind be- hind them, Pickering scored a rouge, when Rayner kicked a long punt. Soon after the play started again the School made a few offsides and were forced back to their 25 yard line. Here Rayner kicked another of his long spirals to the deadline. In the next few minutes of play the School were helped by off- sides and too much interference by Pickering in their hard attempts to crash the defence. If it had not been for these offsides Pickering might have scored. In the third quarter the School picked up once again and soon had Pickering back in their own half of the field. The team was working more smoothly now and with the wind behind Ross was soon able to kick a long ball to the deadline. The School condition was now beginning to tell and Pickering were soon forced back into their own territory. With a good end run engineered bv Taylor the School were in a good position to kick to the deadline again and Ross's trusty foot finished the scoring for the game. From then on the School held the Pickering team back in their own part of the field, and the game ended with the School close to the Pickering goal line. T. C. S. 10. Pickering 3. TRINITY COLLEGE vs. THE SCHOOL At Port Hope, October 15th. This game was played on a slightly damp field that seemed to suit the School's play. Trinity were not up to full strength, and consequently the School had things pretty much their own way. The firstehalf was played under O.R.F.U. rules. In the first few minutes of play the School were forced back into their own territory, but the line held and Trinity were forced to kick. The

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD Q1 kick was partially blocked, but Combe picked up the ball and, dodging and side-stepping all the R.M.C. tacklers, he ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Ross converted. R.M.C. threatened the School goal line by completing an excellent forward pass, Harris throwing to lianxilton, when they were unable to make yards along the line. This demoralized the School slightly but they fought on and held the Cadets for the rest of the quarter. T.C.S. 6. R.M.C. 0. In the second quarter the School kept up their sound defence and gained yards a few times. chiefly. on bucks by Ross and Wvnn R.M.C. again surprised the School and completed a forward pass, Harris to Phillips. This brought the ball close to the School's line, but the School fought magnificiently and R.M.C. were forced to kick. Combe and Taylor were able to run the ball back only a short dis- tance. The School rapidly worked the ball up the field by bucks and on the exchange of kicks, so that Wigle was able to kick to the deadline. Near the end of the period R.M.C. kicked, and Combe and Taylor fumbled the greasy ball which bounded behind the School line. However, Taylor saved a touch when he kicked the ball to deadline for a safety touch. Half time: T.C.S. 7 R.M.C. 2. In the second half the field was in a deplorable state and the ball not much better. The School did not play as well under the Little Big Four rules and R.M.C. continually broke through the weakened left wing on the kicks. R.M.C. started off with a rush and broke through the School line for yards. The School found its feet and from then on it was a ding dong battle, both lines finding it hard going and fumbles being frequent. The School line was a bit stronger and first Wigle and then Ross broke through to block R.M.C. kicks. Ross started a thrilling race down the field, dribbling the ball. The ball hit the goal post and he picked the ball up and went over for a touch, which he converted. T.C.S. 13. R.M.C. 2. In the fourth quarter a kicking duel developed between Ross and Phillip. The School usually had the conventional two bucks and a kick, the bucking being done by Ross and Wynn. Ross kicked a better ball than Phillip and very soon he was able to hoist a long punt for a rouge. R.M.C. started a final rush, but it was too late and they were only able to score a rouge kicked by Phillip. Wynn and Cowperth- Waite combined for a nice gain for the School to finish the game. Final score: T.C.S. 14. R.M.C. 3.
