THE ASHBURIAN 19 The Senior race was well run by all those who finished within the necessary time to obtain a point. Brown quickly took the lead. Half-way he was still leading with Perodeau running strongly fifty yards behind, another hundred yards and Sherwood II, Bates II, Magor, Wilson III, GilHes I, Sherwood I, Smellie, Rowley I, and Grant were running close to- gether and in this order. Brown held the lead until a few feet from the finish when Perodeau with a final burst passed him. Bates II passed Sherwood II in the last half but was repassed coming through the Sand Pit. Sherwood I moved up three places but Gilhes and Magor failed to hold their positions and were passed by Grant, Smellie and Rowley. It was an interesting and well contested race. Perodeau is to be heartily congratulated on winning the Ker Cup for finishing first — this is the second year he has held it — and the medal for the fastest scratch time. We also congratulate all those whose tenacity was rewarded by obtaining a point for their respective houses. The Junior race was a repetition of the Senior in that the first man home, Calder, also returned the best scratch time. The winner ran a very fine race, he started 3 minutes and 38 seconds after zero, in fact after everyone except Malloch. He settled down at once to a long easy stride which he maintained all the way covering the ground very quickly. He thoroughly deserved his success in winning both the Irvine Cup and the Medal. Both courses were longer than in previous years. -J. R. P. CROSS COUNTRY Order of Finish Senior Elapsed time 1. Perodeau 26 min. 32 sees. 2. Brown 27 28 3. Sherwood II. 28 44 4. Bates II. 26 45 5.

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.
