The Juniors have won the city championship, for the second con- secutive time, scoring a total of 18 goals and having only 3 scored against them. The season opened with a game against Northern Vocational. Mr. Saunders, our ex-principal kicked the ball off. The Northeners fell prey to the splendid team work of the Juniors, the score being 4-0. After winning the first game in the league, the boys went right ahead, winning all their games except two and tying those. The semi-final game against Western Tech was played off on the Don Hats, and as usual the boys were successful in defeating their opponents, the score being 2-1. The final game against Central Commerce certainly had everybody full of excitement. Our worthy opponents opened the scoring with a fast shot from 10 yards in front of the goal which found its way into the nets. With a strong de- sire to even up the score the Juniors got possession of the ball and went down the field. Boots, one of the forward men, shot and scored, thus tying the score. The score at half time being 1-1. TATLER The second half was a keenly and evenly contested game, each team making sudden dashes only to be intercepted by the defence. At the end of the game the score was still a tie, so it was arranged to play S minutes overtime each way. Once again the teams see-sawed up and down the field, but failing to break the score. Another 5 minutes was arranged for in hopes of breaking up the score. Shortly after the kick-off the Juniors got possession of the ball and raced down the field. From one for- ward, to another, the ball was passed until Parker got possession of the ball, and being in front of the goal, scored the Winning goal. In the dying minutes of the game Central made a strong bid for an- other goal but failed to get it. A great deal of credit for the success of the Juniors is due to Mr. Love, their competent coach, who Worked so hard and faithfully to turn out a championship team. Basketball At a meeting of the Athletic Association, it was definitely arranged that the school should have a Grads basketball team. We are the the only school in the city to have a Grads team, since U.T.S. and Riverdale have dis- organized. Among the stars that will defend the white and red were Cannon, Capt., Doherty, Green- halgh, Exeley, Bright, on the for- ward line and Manson and Martin on Defence. The games will be played on Saturday nights between 7-9 p.m. and the team practice on Tuesday from 6-7.30 p.m. The team will play in the Juvenile League Series Cunder 18 yearsl .

Cross Country Run Danforth Tech were favoured with ideal weather conditions for their 4th Annual George Smith Cross Country Run. About 1400 students watched twenty-two trained runners leave the mark for the seven mile grind, which took them over four long hills, across the Don River, through open country and back to the crowd before the school. The race was a spectacular duel between Jack Eastaugh Ca 2nd Year Matriculation studentl and Horace Brown Ca 3rd Year Auto Mechanic Studentl. Brown held ashoxt lead for a greater part of the distance, then for half a mile they ran side by side, until Eastaugh pulled away just in sight of the tape. Brown made a final spurt and crossed the line less than a yard behind his rival. The record of 49 minutes and 50 seconds set by Stan Cable last year was reduced to 43 minutes, fifty- seven and one fifth seconds. A record crowd of cheering students and parents packed the aud- itorium and acclaimedthe prize win- ners when Mr. Geo. Smith, M.P. presented his handsome trophy and a fine gold wrist watch to Jack Eastaugh. Mr. Geo. Oakley, M.P. presented the 2nd. and 3rd. medals to Horace Brown and Fred Moore, on behalf of Ald. Sibbery and the Danforth Business Mens' Association. Mr. J. F. Phillips, past President of the School Ath- letic Association, presented the Association's medal to Wallace Baillie, who won fourth place. Ninteen boys were awarded ribbons for finishing the course. Girls Sports SWIMMING CLASSES MONDAY NIGHT C1.Ass : Mr. Hodkinson, our swimming instructor, took a very keen interest in girls' swimming this year and organized a class for the more ad- vanced swimmers of the school. There were about fifteen girls turned out and since then it has dwindled down to about four girls. As he secured a silver cup for them to swim for, he is consequently very disappointed. If the swimming continues there will be a forty yard swim on our big Aquatic Night in Nlarch, and the cup will be presented to the winner by Russ VVaters, who is the best swimmer our school has known. THURSDAY NIGHT CLASSES : There is a special swimming class for beginners every Thursday after school conducted by Miss Rodgers. The girls are all pro- gressingsplendidly. Miss Rodgers would like a few more members in the class so if you are interested in swimming at all, come along. Corn Roast The girls of D.T.S. and a few of our ex-students had a very enjoy- able time at our corn roast in Sep- tember, soon after we started back to school. While the Hhot dawgs and the cobs were cooking we had a delightful program in the Maud. Audrey Carline, who is now on a tour across Canada, doing stage- work, did some specialty numbers that Hwent over big while George Wagdin supplied us with some
