June'l'935 'VOX COLLEGII Page315 FIELD DAY As in the 'past years, the weather was perfect on the days of competi- tion, Friday and Monday.

In the 'senior 'class Bus Storey and Bill Strachan took first and second :place in 7 of 9 events.

Perry Ryan, Don Tomlinson and Doug. Reynolds competed keenly. The junior class had the usual collection of boys who displayed a great 'deal of enthusiasm as well as skill. David Hutchings' experience helped him to Win the junior championship with 23 points. Harold Scott's skill in field events brought him within 2 points of Dave. Hutchings won the 220 yards, 440 yards. 880 'yards and shot put, while Scott 'was first in the javelin and pole vault. Jack Garrett won the broad jump.

Ram- TUDHGPE MEET By winning the Tudhope Cup for the fifth time in succession B.C.I. has proven superior to Midland and Orillia in track and field once again. The meet, held in ideal weather at the Orillia Oval, was witnessed by an enthusias- tic crowd, many of whom were Barrie hitch-hikers and fans. Taking two firsts of the three classes in every event but one, fourteen victories out of a possible twenty-five, B.C.I. finished with 58d1!2 points, 9 ahead of M.H.S. In the first sprint, junior 100 yards, Harold Scott, a last minute substi- tute, was beaten out in a close race. Don Tomlinson, intermediate. slowed up at the finish enough to let his M.H.S. rival overtake and tie him for first place. Harry Livingston cheered us up by winning the senior race with yards to spare. In the junior 220 yards, Dave Hutchings was forced to take second to a fleet O.C.I. sprinter. However, Lloyd Delaney and Bus Storey came through well ahead in their divisions. We nearly, oh, very nearly. won all three firsts in the distance races. As all the supporters expected, Hutchings and Delaney won their half mile runs 42.34 3-5 and 2.21 3-53 but it was in the senior mile that the real thrill came. Although Bill McLeod trailed behind all the way he spurted at the last moment so that he barely failed to pass Laver of Orillia in a finish that could not have been more exciting if rehearsed. Although the junior high-jumpers stopped 4 ft. 416 in. with D. Hutchings 2nd, and the intermediates at 5 ft. 15 in. with L. Delaney tied for first, Storey and McKenzie fM.H.S.J pursued their three-year-old rivalry until both reached a ceiling of 5 ft. 9 in., a new Tudhope record. In marked contrast with last year, the broad jumpers fell prey to their experienced opponents. In the juniors fl6 ft. 616 in.l Jack Garrett was 3rd, intermediate 117 ft. 1016 in.J Eric LeGear came second, and W. Strachan 3rd in the seniors 118 ft. lllfz in.l. Although Harold Scott had to devote time to training to win the junior pole vault at 8 ft. 2 in., Eric LeGear, a mere novice, cleared 9 ft., tieing for say 13 F. Rooke 1.

The school year of 1934-35 has meant much, and will mean much, to all you who have added to the name and fame of B.C.I. through your sporting activities. Although we have not won a great number of Championships, still I think we have played the game, and are both feared and respected by the surrounding schools of our district. Between the school and Mr. Cockburn I think that in some measure we have learned to be good sports, and I hope and believe that this attribute will always stay with us. The Girls' and Boys' Athletic societies sponsored the Masquerade and the school Skating Party. The idea of the Skating Party was to have something new, and in the line of athletics, for the school. In conclusion I want to extend my sincere thanks to the staff, Miss Hunter, in particular, and to the other societies in the school for their co-operation, and to the members of the Boys' Athletic Society for their support.

TRIALS Due to the erection of the new arena the trials were held at the Ontario Athletic Commissions summer camp on Lake Couchiching. Our team of a dozen boys was therefore stranded until Mr. Cockburn generously came to the rescue and gave us a day's outing. Since the district includes that part of Ontario between Toronto, Owen Sound and Huntsville, B.C.I. boys did well to win eight firsts. Bill Strachan won the senior javelin and leaped 19 ft. 6 in. in the broad jump. Lloyd Delaney won the senior half and quarter mile runs. The mile relay of E. Ryan, G. Kightley, H. Sharpe and L. Delaney came third. Harry Livingston won the intermediate 100 yds. in 10 3f5 secs. Jack Dyte came third in the intermediate broad jump. The half mile relay team of J. Dyte, P. Ryan. D. Hutchings and H, Liy- ingston entered at the last minute and gave the winners a close race. Of the juniors, Doug. Reynolds was most outstanding. He won his heats in the 100 and 220 and triumphed in both finals. Jack Hughes, another double winner, took both the shot-put and broad jump. school games.

' The strain of keeping down to junior weight must have weakened Dave Hutchings for he was far below his best when he came second in the junior shot put, Nevertheless, where one may fail, two appear to carry on and Erie LeGear and John Begg just had to show their strength and triumph for the school. Distances: C8-lb.J Jun. 27 ft. GV2 in., Inter. 40 ft. 13A in., Senior f12-lb.l 37 ft. 616 in. With practically the three best javelin throwers in their classes B.C.I. has ever had, the team naturally expected to give the spectators a display. First, H. Scott hurled it 90 ft. to win. Next George Red Smith barely failed to beat an O.C.I. throw of 120 ft. 1 in. Then Roy tlittle Busterl Storey followed this up to make another senior record of 156 ft. 11112 in. To conclude a perfect day it was only fitting for B.C.I. to demonstrate hon' to run a relay. D. Hutchings. Doug. Reynolds and L. Delaney left a gap be- hind that was symbolic of the lead we had gained in points. The athletes then flocked to the O.C.I. gym for the annual banquet. Here, they made new acquaintances and renewed old ones. After the meal and speeches, the awards were given out. The evening concluded with a delight- BCl.ROADIMMIE The annual B.C.I. four-mile road race was run off on October 16. Dave Hutchings, Bob Delaney, Bill McLeod and George Kightley ran side by side until the last mile. Then Bart Simmons came from behind to force the pace but the leaders still held together until even within 400 yards of the finish, In this long finishing sprint. Bob Delaney and Dave Hutchings left their old- er opponents behind and Delaney emerged victorious in the last 100 yards. RUGBY Here is recorded just another rugby season. It is insignificant in the abyss of time, yet it has played a part in many a boy's life. The rugby training fills the gap left in youthful activities by an over-sophisticated society. That rugby in B.C.I. has long been on a sound footing is due primarily to Mr. Cockburn as the coach. Though we delight in glorifying school spirit, the do-or-die attitude, the heroes of the game, nevertheless credit must be given to our coach for his faithful work. For Mr. Cockburn, teams may come and teams may go, but the game goes on for ever. Collingwood at Barrie October 6 A fine exhibition of clean play and good rugby was featured at the open- ing game of the 1934 rugby season. Strachan, B.C.I.'s centre half, punted four single points in the first half of the game. Thus B.C.I. was threatening Col- lingwood's goal, but they could not get within scoring distance for touchdowns. Shortly after half time Eddie Stransman picked a ball fumbled by Collingwood and ran 80 yards for a touchdown with Portland and Swain at his heels the whole distance. Collingwood, after plunging down the field. could only gain a single point. B.C.I. scored another point in the last quarter. The Storey-Strachan-Birchard-Norris backfield filled their positions to perfection both offensively and defensively with the help of the Stransman- Muir-Muir-Blair-Armstrong-Lavery front line. Stransman and Lavery did not- able work in stopping the Portland-Swain threat from Collingwood. Garb. Smith, B.C.I.'s quarterback, had the team in fine working order all through the game. Final score-Barrie 9, Collingwood 1. The Junior game was very keenly contested but was marred by costly fumbles. ln the first half B.C.I. scored a major as a result of afumble. This touchdown along with two singles finished B.C.I.'s scoring in the first half. Collingwood succeeded in adding two singles. In the second half B.C.I. ob- tained a field goal while C.C.I. scored a touchdown on a fumble. - Dyte played a splendid game at centre half supported by Earl Leigh and Glen Ayers. Perry Ryan, playing quarter for his first time, turned in a good game. Final score-B.C.I. 10, C.C.l. 7. ful dance.
