if aaaeaiddi x X 4 A ' 8'- A. Y -f . RUCJBX - 6.-5 5 HR team this year lacked suf- T 4 ficient power in every depart- A - ' ment. Only one member of last I ,Aj vear's first string was back, and only ,XT ' , . sr al- - nu 0, four members of the J1 squad. Une t P ' . .imh x third of the team was playing its Hrst X vi. nm year of football. We were virtually a junior team in senior competition. The Headmaster himself, before the season began, expressed appre- hension at the necessity of playing our traditional rivals, lacking the two essentials, power and experience, we were outscored and out- played in most of our games. But I will say this about the team this year: we were never beaten in the true sense of the word. The players consistently ignored the score, and played their hearts out for sixty minutes every game. There were no excuses about scores, no ifs or would haves , none was needed. Their sense of fair play and sports- manship could never be questioned, and at all times they were a real credit to our School. THE LISGAR, CARLETON PLACE, AND NEPEAN GAMES Uur first organized scrimmage was against our old rivals, Lisgar, who came out tfn the top end of a 17-O score. We were unable to cope effectively with their end sweep. Andy Hells' brother starred for Lisgar. But the following week we visited Carleton Place, and after a hard game, emerged with a happy 6-2 victory over a team that went on to an undefeated season in its league. In that game, George Barr ran a reverse for a thirty yard touchdown, converted by Ned Rhodes, and Andy XYells and joe Irvin broke away for some sizeable gains. Kingston and Hart played well on the line. But the outstanding performance was that of Tony Holland, whose tackling was superb. The Carleton kicker, Finley, starred in a losing cause. The following Thursday we were visited by Nepean High School, whose end sweeps, like those of Lisgar, led them to a 12-2

In the first quarter the School started ofi with her usual determination but by the end of the first fifteen minutes the score stood at: Bishops 10 Ashbury O. lt seemed that each good gain which the School made was returned with a better one by the Bishops squad. ln the second quarter the team started well again. with several good runs by Hells and Gamble.
