SU THE ASHBURIAN Ashbury and an excellent pass by Bishops the score stood at Bishops 16, Ashbury O. The School kicked off to Bishops after the half and Bishops boys put on a crushing display to put Price over for a T.D- after only 6 plays. After this touchdown the School got back on her feet and with excellent tackling by Holland and Clark, managed to hold Bishops from any further scoring in this quarter. In the final quarter the Bishops team scored twice again, but the School looked much less ragged and a lot more confident. Hells, Gamble and Shurly did well offensively with Clark, Hart, Rhodes and Holland doing the bulk of the tackling. Final score: Bishops 33, Ashbury 0. SECOND BISHOP'S GAME On Saturday morning, October 18, a smooth functioning, well ba- lanced team from B.C.S. won its fifth straight victory of the sea- son, over a game but outclassed Ashbury team, by a score of 29-7. Early in the first quarter a Bishops sleeper caught the Ashbury tertiary fiatfooted, and Turnbull went over standing up, Oscar Ochoa block- ing the attempted convert. By quarter time, Bishops had rolled to another T.D. on a plunge by lineman Shirley XVoods, converted by Pratt with a drop kick. Early in the second quarter, Ashbury quarter- back Bill Baer, calling rapid signals, caught the Bishops defence off- balance, and Ashbury rolled down the field on successive plunges by Matthews, Gamble, and Hart, till Gamble finally carried over from the three yard line, Killaly converting. This was the Hrst time this season that the Bishops team had had a touchdown scored against it. By half time, Southward retaliated for Bishops on a reverse to make the score 17-6. Ashbury started the second half strongly, and soon scored a rouge on a kick by Laurie Hart, Baer and Gamble making the tackle. Bishops then struck back, MacDougall making a great run around end to score a converted T.D., and Roger Hart carried over from the three yard line just before three-quarter time for another converted major. In the fourth quarter Ashbury pressed the visitors, but were held on the five yard line after a determined drive. It was a clean hard-fought game throughout, in perfect weather conditions. There were no individual stars for Bishops, who fielded an extremely well balanced team. Outstanding for Ashbury were the plunging of Gamble, and the all round two way play of Captain Laurie Hart. LOXVER CANADA COLLEGE GAME On the crisp, clear Saturday afternoon of the Old Boys' week- end we met Lower Canada College of Montreal. Ashbury chalked up the first score on Harts kick for one point. From there on, how-

FIRST BISHOPS GAME On a bright October day Ashbury met her old rival Bishops Col- lege School at Lennoxville for the first of her annual encounters. 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. However. after a costly' fumble by

THE ASHBURIAN Sl ever, it was apparent that our opponents were to carry the game. They made three touchdowns, converting one, before Andy XYclls plunged over, after a march down the field by Ashbury, to make our only major score of the afternoon. L.C.C. then kicked another point and in the last minutes ofthe game made a converted touchdown. The final score was 23-6. ROYAL MILITARY COLLlQGli GANIIQ This year, on November l, we again played R.Al.C., wc were no match for the cadets, as they marched to a 32-l victory in excel- lent weather conditions. Ashbury opened the scoring with a single by Hart in the early minutes. By quarter time R.Al.C. had scored a con- verted touchdown on a buck by XlacLellan after a long drive. In the second quarter a rouge and another converted touchdown put the Cadets ahead 13-l at half time. A steady drive by Ashbury was stopped deep in the Cadets' end when the School fumbled, and by three quarter time, R.M.C. added a field goal and a T.D., the latter when an alert cadet picked up a fumble of an R.Nl.C. kick. The final T.D. was on a pass late in the fourth quarter. The Cadet quarterback McCarthy was the star of the game, his shifty broken field running providing much excitement. For the losers, Tony Holland's tackling, Ned Rhodes' passing, and Don Gamble's plunging stood Ollt. OLD BOYS GAME Audacity was the key-note from the start. After preliminary cat- calls and cheering in the traditional manner of Bronxville, the School kicked off to Pritchard who ran the ball back to the OB. -I-0. Then. on a quick play, he dropped back and heaved a neat but apparently not unexpected pass into the arms of Gill who trotted quietly over from the School 15. XYith the missed convert, the score was 5-0 for the Old Boys after some 20 seconds of play. School chose to receive the kickoff and, by sensible plunging against a somewhat disorganized O.B. defence, worked the ball up to their opponents' 15. From here Gamble shook a tackler or two loose and galumphed over to make the score 5-5. Hart's attempted convert by placement hit the upright a resounding blow. Old Boys received and, with some forceful charging by Patterson, Gills and E., and Pritchard, made three first downs and found them- selves in possession on the School 3 yard line. Gill lf. tried a quarter back sneak and made 2 yards 2 feet and could well be seen at the bot- tom of the heap working the ball over with his nose. However he was caught and sentenced by his captain to another sneak which this time was successful. Pritchard passed to Gill who took the hcadlinesinans
