The Analecta 27 TRACK MEET Central High School again bowed down to Crescent Heights in the Interscholastic sports. For the amount of training, however, our athletes acquitted themselves very well. We managed to secure a few points in A Class, Jack Ford coming second in the high jump and twenty yard dash, and our relay team win¬ ning a third. In B Class, when the smoke cleared, we found ourselves with only one second place. This being won by Charles Payne. It is in C Class that C.C.I. won most of her points. It was in this class that our tall friend Johnny Souter so distinguished himself by winning C Class individual honors. Johnny came first in the running broad, hop step and jump and twelve pound shot. In the running broad he set a new Inter¬ scholastic record. Walter Stilwell ran Soutar a close second by being only one-half a point behind. The relay team came second, those on it were, Wiedenhammer, Mitchell, Webster and Soutar. In D Class Wilfred Bell came second in the running high jump and Maurice Fidler came third in the shot put. Reuben Gardner was the sensation of this class by running rings around his rivals in the hundred yard dash. The relay team came second owing to a fumble by one of the boys after they had it almost cinched. Those on the team were R. Gardner, L. Gardner, M. Fidler and B. Harris. Jimmy Hunter came third in the 880 yard run. This ended the day and we sincerely offer congratu¬ lations to Crescent Heights for the splendid showing. All details were capablv handled by our old friend Captain Ferguson. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:— The question around the school and other places connected with the school is, “Why is it that we are not getting the results at the Field Day that we used to? Where has the spirit disappeared in the activity of the sports? Before, the pupils used to look on sports day as a day in which they were to triumph over the other schools but now they just look at it as a half-holiday and a day in which they will not be victors but pupils carrying defeat. We never will be vanquishers again as long as that spirit prevails for the heart seems to be taken out of us at the very first. “Why?” Crescent Heights gets a half holiday about four weeks or so before the meet in which the whole school takes part in a field day of their own and in this way they are able to select the best Athletes of the school and give them special training until a few days before the meet so that they are in perfect condition. Unfortunately at C.C.I. we do not have such a chance. I do not think there is any good reason why we should not have such an oppor¬ tunity. We waste just as much time and more in my estimation, because we are let out (competitors who desire to go in for the sports) two or three periods a week about a week before the “Day” which doesn’t give the athletes a fair chance or the school either. Isn’t it possible that we can have a half day off about four or five weeks before the event in which we can hold the eliminations in the

26 The Analecta Early in the game a series of “Wark’s originals” brought us our first touchdown. Things tightened to the breaking point. Signals snapped out, bone-crushing bucks drove up and down the field. The chanting school yells, mingled with the dusty air. Who would weaken? The pace became terrific and the South Enders soon showed the strain was telling on them. Still the C.C.I. line held, under the furious attacks. Our wings hung like leaches to anything in red and green and when it was a C.C.I. down the halves worked their hardest, Beland and Frew bearing the brunt of the bucking with “Plug” Johnson, and steadily gaining yards, while on the end runs it can be said without provarivation that Bev. Harris and Len Graves lost no time. Frew turned in an excellent account of himself throughout the game which was featured by his ability to drop-kick. Twice during the game he succeeded in placing the oblong between the posts for a score, leaving the Hillmen gaping and helpless. C.C.I. steadily increased their lead until at the end of the game the score stood 19-1 for Central. Now South Calgary’s chance looked slim, they pinned all their hope on the fact that Western Canada College would lick us. This game, however, never materialized owing to a rather bad stretch of weather interfering so, the Collegians, like good sports conceded the game to us in order that the championship be decided. Thus the league ended and the Seniors again captured the coveted trophy. The somewhat abrupt closing of the Bugby season left the teams still “raring to go” so it was decided that C.C.I. and South Calgary should play an exhibition game on a Saturday afternoon. This game proved to be the hardest game of the season and those who attended this last game, saw one of the best Senior Bugby exhibitions ever dished up to a Calgary aggregation. Neither teams could break away and when the game finally ended, both teams spent much time in carting off their dead and wounded from the frozen ground. The score board after the fray showed a 1-1 tie. There are several factors entering in to this unfavorable result, but why talk about them. We know we can lick South Calgary, that’s enough.
