7 60 RAREBITS BO S' ' U A HLETICS , Glnmmenta nf the Qpnrting lihitnr Edfior-K RN. BORISUK V With the advance of the years the sporting life of B. H. S. progresses. Rugby is an example of this, the school having turned out a championship team this year. Mr. St. Iohn is to be con- gratulated on this achievement. Basket- ball, a comparatively new game here, has established its place although the boys lost after a hard struggle. The senior hockey team deserves a great deal of credit for its fine showing. The Track and Field Day has had great success this year. Due to the fine work of Mr. Bates it is one of the most prominent athletic activities in the school. A great deal of fine work in physical training is being done in the gymnasium during P.T. periods, although we could have some more apparatus. The drilling of the cadets is commencing and we expect a snappy exhibition from them this year. Qlfnuntg Ellielh Bug at fbakuille October was decided upon for the county meet. From our own field day till the final meet practice was carried on under the direction of Mr. Bates and Miss Martyn. A strong opposition was expected from Milton this year. Around ten o'clock all the local contest- ants set out for Oakville. A little later the Burlington supporters followed. The participants arrived in time for the junior boys to get ready for the 100 yard dash which started off the day. From then on there were no idle minutes. r' K i . W YW J-N H. Burlington started well Cmuch to the con- testants' surpriseD and continued in the same way. At twelve o'clock a halt was called for one hour so that the officials might have their lunch but for the con- testants this favorite repast was a greatly diminished affair. At one o'clock the meet started again but with it came the incident of the school colors. Some Burlington sup- porters having. purchased some blue and gold paper climbed the flag pole and a high pine tree and tied the colors at the top of them. Then things began to happen as the other schools resented Burlington colors being on the top. Qur local supporters were hard put to keep the colours there, but the results of the day proved that the blue and gold should remain there. After a stiff scrap in the pine tree, Willie Hewton distinguished himself by holding the colors in their place. Finally the boys were ordered down. Before the meet was over it could be seen that the Burlington boys were well in the lead while the girls were holding their own. Tom Hedley, Ken Borisuk and Donald Stadelman proved to be a great help to Burlington. The meet was closed by the relays in which Burlington headed the list, four out of six teams coming first while the other two each received a second place. This victory gave to Burlington High School the Lions' Club cup and the championship for the fourth time in succession. In all the meets good sportsmanship was shown. The day closed with a light repast in the Oakville High School.

Eagerly the rookies and last year's regulars would treat the ball roughly every opportunity. Soon a well trained rugby team was ready to bring glory to the good old B. H. S. A MILTON GAME-The first game of the season turned out better than our wildest hopes. The score ended with a victory of 57 to 0. WATERDOWN GAME-The following week we journeyed to Waterdown. The weather although quite windy, was, in other ways, ideal: We defeated our opponents with a score of 54 to 25. The return game was even 'more decisive.
