24 THE ASHBURIAN Ashbury had most of the play in the third quarter and half way through Perodeau kicked over the line, the ball was misfielded and Fauquier fell on it for a touch. 18-9. The start of the last quarter found Ashbury still maintaining their attack and Perodeau kicked a further point. Five minutes before the close L.C.C. rallied strongly and tore through the Ash- bury line for yards in succession. Finally Burpee forced his way over the goal line for a touch which was converted. Time was. soon called, Ashbury winning 19-15. The following represented Ashbury -HH Halves, Robinson, Coristine ; Flying Wings, Perodeau, Mac- Carthy ; Quarter, Elwood ; Snap, Magor ; Insides, J. Rowley Cowans ; Middles, Allen, Smellie ; Outsides, Fauquier, R. Rowley. Spares, McGuckin, Sherwood, Menzies, Stannard, Southam,. Thompson, Boyd. F. E. B. W. INTERMEDIATE RUGBY This season we have been handicapped by a series of unfor- tunate occurrences. To begin with, various unforeseen circumstances prevented much organization until the season was nearing its close.. Again, the unavoidable cancellation of several games caused a great deal of disappointment both to players and those interested. In spite of these setbacks, however, the teams showed remark- able enthusiasm, which ably revealed the sporting instinct which Ashbury makes it her business to develop. The school won all the games ! Jacobs, the lightweight captain,, played splendidly. When he gets away it takes a good man to stop him. Gait is also very fast. Davidson II, the lightweight quarter can use his head cleverly, and he piloted his team very ably. McCar- thy I gave some valuable assistance in connection with the light- weight team, and their excellent signals were entirely due to his efforts. K. B. M.

THE ASHBURIAN 23 ASHBURY vs. B. C. S. Played in Montreal, on the McGill campus, Oct. 27th The game was rather a disappointment from the Ashbury point of view. touch in the opening minute of the game. A half hearted tackle in mid field let one of their halves away ; he skirted the ends for Bishop ' s kicked off, the kick was fumbled, and they scored a another touch and Bishop ' s were ten points up before the game was well under way. Ashbury continued to play below their form and lost the ball on their 40 yard line when trying a line buck, whereupon one of Bishop ' s backs dropped a splendid goal, putting his side thirteen points ahead. Ashbury held their own till nearing the end of the third quarter when another misfielded kick yielded a further touch. Fauquier intercepted a pass on an end run and made about forty yards but his pass to Robinson went astray and a good chance was lost. Perodeau kicked on the third down and Ashbury scored their solitary point. In the last two or three minutes of the game B. C. S. scored a final touch near the corner, which was converted, leaving them winners, 26-1. The following represented Ashbury : — Halves, Robinson, Coristine; Flying Wings, Perodeau, Smellie ; Quarter, Elwood ; Snap, Magor ; Insides, Cowans, Mc- Guckin ; Middles, J. Rowley, Allen ; Outsides, Grant, Wodehouse. Spares, R. Rowley, Sherwood, MacCarthy, Fauquier, Thompson. ASHBURY vs. L. C. C. Played at Ashbury, November 1st. L.C.C. kicked off, Robinson fielded the kick, fell awkwardly, and lost the ball. L.C.C. kicked a field goal on their second down. They kept up the pressure and soon went further ahead when an end run resulted in a touch in the corner, which was converted. Ashbury had started slowly as in their previous game with L.C.C, and in this case it cost them nine points, but they now began to fight back in determined fashion. Perodeau kicked high to the L.C.C. 20 yard line, the ball was fumbled and Elwood fell on it. Perodeau and Smellie made gains and Elwood fought his way over for a touch. 5-9. In the 2nd quarter Perodeau kicked to the dead line in the first minute, and a few minutes later dodged through for a clever touch which he converted himself. Keeping up the pressure, Rob- inson fielded a kick, returned it well over the line and scored a further point. 13-9.

THE ASHBURIAN 25 SOCCER. Three matches were played this year, two against S. Alban ' s and one against the staff. Grant in goal was good and played a brilliant game in the return match with S. Alban ' s. J. Rowley and Southam worked tirelessly at back and if their kicking was a little uncertain at times both showed unusual powers of recovery. Elwood, who captained the side, showed good ball control at right half and was a difficult man to pass ; Robinson at centre half always played a hard and energetic game. Schlemm at left half excelled in tackling but was inclined to lie too far back and did not always give his forwards sufficient support. The forward line was one of the best that has represented Ashbury during recent years. Gait and Symington combined well on the right wing. The former was inclined to play a little too far in, while Symington did not shoot as quickly as he might. Smellie in the centre was an energetic leader who did a great deal of work and held the line together. Coristine at inside left improved con- siderably as the season progressed and always had a good shot. Hammond at outside left centred strongly and was always on the ball but his shooting was a little wild. Calder who played as a reserve in Hammond ' s place in the last S. Alban ' s game did well in a position to which he was not accustomed. ASHBURY vs. S. ALBAN ' S. Played at Brockville, Oct. 22nd. The game was played in a gale of wind which prohibited any attempt at scientific football. Ashbury were weakened by injuries and played with the wind in the first half but failed to score, although they came close on several occasions. In the second half, playing with the wind, S. Alban ' s did most of the pressing, though Ashbury should have scored once from a melee in front of their opponents ' goal. S. Alban ' s were awarded several free kicks from two of which they scored, leaving them winners, 2-0. The following represented Ashbury : — Goal — Grant. Backs — Perodeau, J. Rowley. Halves — Elwood, Robinson, Schlemm. Forwards — Hammond, Symington, Mac- Carthy, Fauquier, Gillies.
