There was a hot sun, but nevertheless a large crowd of spectators were on hand to see what proved to be an exciting display. An unusual number of contestants, especially in the junior division, gave evidence at the strong com- petitive spirit, and in his address during the afternoon the Headmaster stated that possibly a separate time would be set aside in the future for a Junior Sports Day. ln keeping with the times, the School presented War Savings Stamps to the winners of the various events, and the only silverware awards went to Mac- Donald I, Berry, and Turner, winners of the Fleming Cup, the Stanley Wright Cup, and the Aylwin Cup respectively. These cups go to the winners of the Senior, Intermediate and Junior Championships. RESULTS I. IOO yards Senior 2. IOO yards Intermediate l. R. V. Sablin 2. H. B. Heath 3. R. Boutin 2. K.

lZOj THE ASHBURIAN Postman .loins Crowd. A perspiring postman, his pack emptied of mail, paused on his homeward journey to join the spectators on the campus. I-le squatted on his heels among the boys, his dun colored sun helmet pushed back on his forehead, cheering his favorite scholars down the hot stretches. Done-out youngsters at the end of each gruelling race under the boiling sun, sank gratefully to rest in the shade of the trees and old red brick buildings. But nobody fainted and everyone was tip top in keenness-a tribute to the good hearts and tough, muscle-hardened bodies of the average young Ashbury Col- lege athlete. Many non-participating students carried candid cameras and from all manner of weird and wonderful positions on the campus lawns, shot pictures of the runners and jumpers in a variety of unusual poses. A. D. Brain, the housemaster, precisely as the last echoes of the chapel bell had died away in the hot, morning air, made the opening announcement through a small aluminum megaphone and the program was under way in a trice, beginning with the senior hundred yard dash. Assisting Mr. Brain at the starting and finishing positions were Rev. T. C. Boon, timer, D. Polk, judge, T. VV. Spafford, recorder, Leslie Jonhston, starter, Dr. W. S. Tigges, assistant time keeper. N. M. Archdale, the headmaster, also assisted in the innumerable chores connected with staging the races and numbers of both junior and senior students aided also. Ronald Heaven paced the field closely followed by G. Croil in the one-mile open, to finish in the excellent time of 5 minutes, five ancl two-fifths seconds. This was considered a good time, on a grass track, by officials. leec- SPRING FCCTBALL N April l8th, Ashbury met Lisgar Seniors in a between-season football fixture. The game was played at Ashbury with Tom Karson of Glebe and David Chance of Lisgar filling out an incomplete Ashbury team. The crowd of spectators enjoyed a closely played match. Ashbury received the kickoff and displayed a spectacular march up the field, only to lose the ball on a fumble at the l.isgar twenty yard line. Before the end of the quarter Croil punted to the deadline for a single point, and added another before half time to give Ashbury a 2 - 0 lead. After a scoreless third period Don Kent of Lisgar intercepted a short pass to run forty yards and put his team in possession practically on Ashbury's goal line. On the third play through the line, Rankin went over for the only touch- down of the game. Shapiro converted, and the final whistle found Lisgar vic- torious by a 6 - 2 score.
