26 D. M. C. I. BREEZES Their team, which became city champions, never lost a contest. .Mc¬ Intyre, with only one victory, took cellar position. The baseball has so far gone very well for us. Wesley was trimmed to tiie tune of 5 to 4, while the contest with Kelvin ended in a 6 all draw. Who can tell but that “jinx” will be broken, and that the baseball championship will be brought to rest at Daniel McIntyre? Every suc¬ cess is extended to the “nine.” In closing we add a note of the next field day. A school’s success in this depends to a large extent upon the condition of the contestants. We ask those who intend to take part next October to keep fit during the summer and thus our Collegiate will have a better chance of opening the term by bringing home the coveted track and field shield. —W. Kibblewhite. INTER-HIGH INTERMEDIATE BASKETBALL TEAM Standing—H. Penwarden, M. Sprung, Timlick. Sitting—J. Easterbrooks, J. Dods, Mr. Morgan (coach), 0. Johnston, B. Dodds.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 25 SPORT NEWS UPON looking back over the term that is now rapidly drawing to a close, we see that on the boys’ side athletics ' had by no means a banner year. The bearers of our colors failed to win one champion¬ ship, while St. John’s and Kelvin fairly well split them between them¬ selves. In all probability our endeavours are being followed by a losing streak, which will not last, but which will disappear as quickly as it came. In the meantime, let us struggle valiantly, for sooner or later, success is bound to attend our efforts. At last! Rugby football has become a recognized fixture on the f’ollegiate sport programme. Its introduction last fall, judging by the support given, stamps it as highly popular with the student body. Our squad was organized late in the season, but in spite of this, they showed talent, and aptness in their play. They went down to defeat twice, the score in both cases b.eing 1-0. In Mr. Madden they have an able coach, who in the future will help greatly to forward the new enterprise. The basketball games in both divisions were of the highest calibre. In the Intermediate section, our aggregation acquitted itself exceed¬ ingly well, but lost the final game to Kelvin by a one point margin. As they were without the use of a school gymnasium their success reflects much credit on them. Better things will be looked for from them next year, as- they will be practically intact. The Seniors put up many sterling battles which close scores show, but of the latter, they always annexed the short end. However, they were composed of excellent material and fell short only in team work, through lack of playing to¬ gether. St. John’s Seniors repeated their last year’s performances by winning first place. The annual swimming relay race was won by Kelvin with a wide margin. McIntyre crossed the line third. This competition does not receive as much support as it should in the high schools, as it is only one event for them in an outside contest. Perhaps in the future a swimming meet will be held on the same plan as the field day. This would create more interest along that line. The championship of the speed-skating races was not decided, for. bv points, all schools were tied. St. John’s and Kelvin each secured a first and a third, while winged “C” skaters performed consistently with two seconds. This left all three with a four point sum. The hockey shield went to Kelvin for the second successive time.
