18 THE ASHBURIAN put up a plucky fight against a more experienced boxer. Elwood displayed good foot-work and quick hitting. Grant knocked out Rowley I in the second round. Gilmour began with his usual rush tactics against Bates II, but finding that he received more punish- ment than he gave, changed his methods, and was very successful in keeping his opponent missing. Ross was awarded the cup for the best display of ring-craft. An innovation was an interesting exhibition of defensive Ju- Jitsu by Mr. Glossop, assisted by W. Robertson. Mr. Glossop kindly acted as referee, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Campbell as judges, and Mr. Pattisson as time-keeper. The results were : — Junior Lightweights — MacBrien II beat Ghent. Junior Heavyweights — Symington beat Powell I. Intermediate Lightweights — Fauquier II beat Jacob. Intermediate Middleweights — Elwood beat Ross. Intermediate Heavyweights — Ritchie beat Heubach. Senior Lightweights — Grant beat Rowley I. Senior Heavyweights — Bates II beat Gilmour. CROSS COUNTRY RACES The Senior and Junior Cross Country races were held on Satur- day, April 19th. The Seniors were started at 12 O ' clock from the Elm tree in front of the School and the Juniors at the same time from a mark on Mariposa. Both courses went down Cloverdale to the Rockcliffe Car stop ; along the old street car tracks to the end of the speed-way and then down the lane to the intersection of the road from the Montreal highway to the R.C.M.P. barracks. At this point the Juniors turned to the right up the road and the Seniors to the left. The Seniors continued through the barracks turned to the right and went out to the Rockcliffe Aerodrome ; across a corner of the Aerodrome property and to the right again. A long stretch followed back to the road which leads to the Moun- ties barracks where turning to the left they rejoined the Junior course made another right turn which led them down a grassy track to MacKay ' s Lake. On reaching this point they took the shortest course home. It is hoped that the course described above will be followed in future years so that the times may be compared, which has been impossible in the past owing to the continual changes.
