D. M. C. I. BREEZES 73 UNIVERSITY SPORTS Some time ago the editor of your magazine asked me to write a short resume of the University sports of the last year. Rugby, the first major sport, commenced September 4th and our first was against North Dakota, at Grand Forks. Unfortunately, the American style of play¬ ing did not suit us and we came back sadder but much wiser men. In the Inter-Collegiate series for the first time in three years the Brown and Gold failed to take the major honors, losing the final game to Allberta. However, next year should tell the difference in the Inter- Collegiate Field Meet. University of Manitoba lost the Cairns Trophy, which it had held for a number of years, to Alberta. However, in the basketball series, the team showed splendid form and annexed the coveted Rigby Trophy, going through the series without once being defeated. Th ! e hockey team, composed partly of the same men who won the Allan Cup in seasons 1927-28, made a very fine showing, but were de¬ feated by Port Arthur in the semi-finals. It is interesting to note that three students (last year’s room 51) won the Senior “M” on University teams, while another distinguished himself as one of our cheer leaders. Those of you who go to University next year will be expected to try-out for the various teams. Do your best to keep up the fine reputa¬ tion the D.M.C.I. has always had for sports and sportsmanship. -- T. Crayston, 33. Earnest effort for his school, a winning smile, gentlemanly con¬ duct, and a becoming modesty (i.e., no “swelled head ”), in spite of his spectacular successes, have won for Bill Kibblewhite a warm place in the affections of the school. On committees, as a principal twice, in the “Pirates” and “Pinafore,” and on the track he has demonstrated his personal abilities and his loyalty to D.M.C.I. It was on the track, however, where he reigned supreme. This remarkable record speaks for itself: Winner of half mile and mile in Inter-High sports in 1925, 1926, and 1927; junior mile city champion, 1925; quarter mile junior champion snowshoer in 1927, 1928; holder of provincial three mile road race record, 1928; member of provincial track team at Canadian champion¬ ships at Toronto in 1927, and again in Hamilton in 1928; member of Canadian Olympic team at Amsterdam, 1928; member of British Empire team against U.S.A. at Stamford Bridge, Lon¬ don, 1928. Such an achievement by a high school boy is astonishing; we are proud of it., and of the one who made it.

74 D. M. C. I. BREEZES Daughter—“He says he thinks I’m the nicest girl in town. Shall I ask him to call?” Mother—“No, dear, let him keep on thinking so.” “Why don’t you buy something at my table?” demanded the girl at the charity fair. “Because I only buy from homely girls,” said the man. “They have a harder time making sales.” The girl was not offender, and the man worked the gage at every booth. They had started on vacation. “Oh, dear,” suddenly exclaimed his wife, “I forgot to turn off the electric iron.” “Nothing will burn,” replied the husband, “I forgot to turn off the shower both.” Caller—“What a cosy little breakfast nook—and the wall is so artistically splatter-dashed.” Mrs. Mead—“Yes, this is where my George eats his grape-fruit.” Daughter—“Mother, do you want me to put the parrot on the back porch?” Mother—“Positively no! Your father is repairing the car in the back yard.” Photographer—“Your son ordered these photographs from me.” Father—“They certainly are very much like him. Has he paid for them yet?” Photographer—“No, sir.” Father—“That is still more like him.” “Father, will you give me ten cents for a poor man crying out¬ side?” “Yes, son. Here it is. What is he crying about?” “He’s crying fresh roasted peanuts, five cents a bag!”
