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

-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.

' The School started the second quarter by beginning a kicking game and soon U.C.C. were forced deep into their own territory. However, the School seemed unable to score, most of Ross's punts being short. By dint of some good plunging by Duncanson and VVynn the School moved into scoring position, and Ross kicked a high ball which a U.C.C. half fumbled, and Ryerson fell on it for the School's only points. Ross failed to convert. This gave the School life and some nice line plunges were made chiefly by Duncanson and Wynn. U.C.C.'s plays were often stopped behind their line by WVigle and Robson. Half time: U.C.C. 2. T.C.S. 5. In the third quarter the School started off badly and U.C.C. boxed them in their own half of the field. The School showed no fight, and U.C.C. after gaining their yards a few times scored another rouge. The School commenced to pull together again. A fumble behind the U.C.C. line resulted in the ball being dribbled up the field in a thrilling race. Wigle kicked it first and then again. By this time the U.C.C. players were catching up, but Wynn came up from behind and kicked the ball again. Near the U.C.C. goal lines Wigle fell on the ball. Here the School, after two plunges had resulted in only about 5 yards gain, tried a drop kick, but failed. The play stayed in the U.C.C. half for the remainder of the quarter. U.C.C. 3. T.C.S. 5. The disastrous fourth quarter definitely put an end to the School's chances for even a tie in the Little Big Four. The School, confident and not fighting very hard, began to take things rather easily with disastrous results. For the first part of the quarter the School had things all their own way, some nice gains being made by end runs. Feeble kicking kept the School from scoring. U.C.C. got a break when Cowperthwaite fumbled behind the School line, and they drib- blecl the ball up the field. However, Combe saved the day by falling on the ball about a yard out. In the list few minutes U.C.C. in a dying attempt to score a touch tried a number of kicks with a man onside. With about three niinutes to go, they at last succeeded. Buckhart kicked a high hall mar the deadline, and Combe fumbled the catch. The man onside picked up the ball and dodging a tackler, passed to Bowes, who i-:in over for a touch, which was converted. The School tried a dying rush and worked end runs with great
