THE ASHBURIAN 21 RUGBY 1947 ASHBURY FIRST TEAM A ltogether this year the ist team played seven games. Our first JLX. game of the season was played against the High School of Com- merce and ended in our only victory. In connection with this game it seems fitting to mention .Mr. Brian Lynch, of the Ottawa Rough Riders, who coached us at the beginning of the season and for whose voluntary services we were all most grateful. Air. Glass, assisted by Mr. iMcFar- lane, then took up the coaching duties as in previous years, and his confidence in our ability remained an asset throughout the season. Members: E. A ' eaver, B. Darby, H. Clark, R. Patterson, W. Scott (Capt.), Denny, i I. Earl, C. Hart, E. Castello, H. Dreyfus, E. Martinez, F. Rose, D. Fair, M. Gallaman, H. Brouse, D. Watson, T. Kenny, D. Lyon, S. Price, G. Ross, B. Ymi der Voort, R. Cherrier, AL Zilberg. ASHBURY vs. B.C.S. (at home) A SHBURY opened the game with a 45 yard kick and some fast ex- jL . change of play followed. However, Bishops were able to run the ball forward for 35 yards reaching x shbury ' s 20 yard line. This was followed by a long punt, which secured a i point lead for B.C.S. Play in the second quarter was fast again, with both teams moving into scoring position, but neither being able to make good their oppor- tunities. Ashbury started off in the third quarter with a series of advances, running the ball back 20 yards and then recovering a fumble on Bishop ' s 15 yard line. This was followed by a 10 yard penalty against the opponents, putting Ashbury on their 5 yard line. Although two forward passes failed, an on-side kick was completed giving Ashbury a 5-1 lead, the convert being incomplete. Soon after, B.C.S. was able to gain a rouge, leaving the score 5-2 for Ashbury at three quarter time. Durin g the last quarter Ashbury seemed unable to keep up the edge which they had had throughout the game. After a series of rapid plays, B.C.S. moved up to the Ashbury 5 yard line and soon were able to go over for a touchdown. The convert was knocked down. In the dying minutes of the game, both teams came close to scoring but were unable to get across and the final result was 7-5 for B.C.S. Throughout the game the play was fast and exciting, with hard and accurate tackling exhibited by both squads, making it a pleasing game to watch. ASHBURY vs. L.C.C. (at home) THE first quarter of the game against L.C.C. consisted mainly of a series of plunges on the part of both teams. In these, Ashbury

22 THE ASHBU RIAN L.C.C. V.S. ASHBURY seemed to have somewhat the upper hand, and near the end of the quarter the team forced a safety-touch for 2 points. In the next quarter, Ash- bury followed up with two more scores; a rouge and touch- down. The latter resulted from a blocked kick and brought the score up to 8-0 for the home team. During the second half, Ashbury began to lose hold of their advantage and the visitors did not fail to rally for points. They were able to score 2 touchdowns, one of which was converted, and so emerged the winners with the final score 1 1-8 in favour of L.C.C. ASHBURY vs. B.C.S. (away) THIS game against Bishop ' s College School, played at Lennoxville, unfortunately ended in a 6-0 defeat, with the team not showing its best until after half time. B.C.S. took the offensive from the start, and after some batthng in centre-field, managed to get into Ashbury territory. From here they were able to complete a forward pass and gain a touchdown, the con- vert being blocked. At the start of the second half, Ashbury began advancing down- field, but were unable later to prevent the opponents from kicking a rouge. This was the last scoring effort although the team, pushing towards the Bishop ' s goal line, appeared to be in a position to score during the dying minutes of the game. ASHBURY vs. L.C.C. (away) IN OUR second game against L.C.C. in Montreal, the team did con- siderably better, the i-i tie being a fair indication of the game. During the first half, the play was even all the way. However L.C.C. after being in our zone for some time, managed to kick a rouge, after a similar attempt had failed some minutes before. Soon after this the second quarter ended with the score remaining unchanged. During the third quarter L.C.C. had slightly the up per hand, making rapid gains around the ends, but were kept scoreless. However during the last quarter Ashbury came back to have somewhat the better of the play over their opponents. We held them in their zone but it was only on the last play of the game that Scott tied the score by returning an L.C.C. punt for a single point.
