Q4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD they began to rip holes in the U.C.C. line, and many U.C.C. plays were nailed behind the line. p , . T.c.s. 0. U.C.C. 2. ' 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

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

THE SCHOOL vs. RIDLEY At Varsity Stadium, November 6th, In the last game of the Little Big Four the School somewhat redeemed themselves. Until half time the School forced the play and were the better of the two teams. There was a strong wind blowing up and down the damp field which gave Ridley an advantage in the first and third quarters. The School kicked off and Ridley immediately started a kicking game. Before long the School were fighting with their backs to the wall. Powell, Ridley's kicker made some wonderful punts. Soon Ridley were in possession on the School's 25 yard line. On an ex- tension play, Nichols with some fine interference, Went around Rid- ley's left end for a touch. Powell converted. The School forced the play and gained yards a few times. Ross, Wigle and Wynn bucked well. Ridley were held along the line, and sometimes plays were broken up behind the line. Ridley fumbled the ball, and Wigle dribbled the ball up the field. Unfortunately a Ridley player fell on the ball, the School only getting a rouge. The School held Ridley in their own half of the field, but were slowly and surely forced back by Powell's magnificent kicking. Just before quarter time, Powell kicked from Ridley's 20 yard line, and the ball bounded about the School's 25 yard line. Ross and Cow- perthwaite were forced to run back to make the catch: one of them touched the ball, and, when they finally recovered the ball behind the School's line, they were tackled for a safety touch. Ridley 8. T.C.S. 1. In the second quarter thc School turned the tables and soon marched down the field, the wind helping Ross's kicks. The Ridley halves fumbled on their 10 yard line and Wigle recovered. In two attempts by Wynn and Ross the School failed to cross the line, but on the third attempt Ross went over for a touch which he converted.
