-jj TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD THE SCHOOL vs. ST. ANDREVVS COLLEGE At Aurora, October 2-ith. The School's sad and unfortunate Little Big Four Season opened in a wet day and on a muddy field. A slight wind was blowing up and down the field which gave S.A.C. a slight advantage in the first quarter. The School did not open the game with their accustomed rush and seemed to be dead on their feet. After the kick-off the School's line showed their ability by holding their lighter opponents and forc- ing S.A.C. to kick. Combe and Taylor misjudged the catch and the School found themselves deep in their own territory. They were forced to kick, but Webster and Donnelly were held in their tracks. The School line gained yards several times, but their work was un- done by the fine backfield work of Webster, and the misjudgment of several catches by the School's backfield. S.A.C. made some nice gains by end runs, but the School line held fairly well. S.A.C. 0 T.C.S. 0. In the second quarter the School woke up a bit, but were unable to score. S.A.C. held them fairly closely. It was a repetition of the first quarter. However, after a few minutes had elapsed, S.A.C. secured possession on the School's 45 yard line. Here in a beauti- fully executed end run, McKay passed to Webster, who dodged several School tacklers before running over for a touch. Thompson converted. The School lost their spirit and a listless battle ensued. How- ever, a nice play around the end by Duncanson and Cowperthwaite resulted in Cowperthwaite running about 60 yards before he was tackled. This set the School on their feet again, and, on the next down, Broughall plunged for about 15 yards. But the School were forced to kick. Ross kicked a high short one and the School's chances to score were lost. The School, however, forced the play, and when the half time whistle blew, they were in a scoring position. Half time: S.A.C. 6. T.C.S. 0. At the beginning of the second half Barber replaced Broughall who had been injured. The School again seemed dead on their feet, and S.A.C. forced the play and were within scoring distance. The School line held, however, and Webster kicked a rouge. After some misplays by the School, S.A.C. again worked the ball into scoring position and Thompson kicked a drop. The Schools hopes and spirits were again low, but a nice run by Cowperthwaite set the team on their feet, although offsides and no interference kept them from scoring. . , . S.A.C. 10. 'I.C'.S. fl.

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.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 23 At the opening of this quarter S.A.C. were in possession about the School's 35 yard line. They completed an onside kick and on thc ncfct play Smith went over for a touch from about 5 yards out. It was not converted. The game see-sawed back and forth about midfield for a while. The School's plunging by Ross, Wynn and Duncanson being offset by poor catching in the backfield. In the last few minutes the School started a do or die attempt with a number of onsides. Some were completed. ln the last few minutes the School came to life and showed some good fighting spirit. Ross plunged through for about 35 yards, and, as he was tackled, he passed to Combe who had only one man to pass, but he was tackled on S.A.C.'s 25 yard line. Wigle grabbed a loose ball after an onside about 19 yards out. Wynn plunged for about 7 yards and Ross carried the ball over for a touch on the next play. He failed to convert. The School put on a dying rush, but they had been asleep too long and were unable to score more points in the remaiing few min- utes. S.A.C. 15. T.C.S. 5.

U.C.C. vs. THE SCHOOL At Port Hope, October 31st. The greatest surprise of the season came when U.C.C. trirmned the School on their own grounds. U.C.C., having been defeated by Ridley on the previous Saturday, were not considered to have much chance of Winning. The game was played on a slightly muddy field, and there was a breeze blowing from north to south. U.C.C. kicked off, and the School started off as though they meant business and gained yards. They were forced to kick, and U.C.C. in turn looked like business when they gained twenty yards around their right end. The line woke up and U.C.C. had to kick. They drove the ball deep into the School's territory, and Ross was unable to run the ball back very much. The School lost some of their spirit and in the next few minutes U.C.C. were able to score two rouges. This did not seem to bother the School very much as
