This was the first major score against Riverdale in two years. Malvern was a tricky team, and scored a win the first meeting with Lady Luck help- ing them along considerably. The second' ses- sion they looked like a real team and cer- tainly deserved the win, Tech. was the heavy team, and while we held them off for a while, they squeezed out a win. The last game of the season with Tech. was when we showed top form. In the last quarter. Harris and Porto moved the yard sticks seven times in a row. and Talbot threw a perfect short forward pass to Chis- holm for a touchdown. These boys are experienced now, and should show class next year when they graduate to the junior ranks, under the able management of Mr. Doidge. SOCCER With the approach of the fall season, many boys' thoughts turn to rugby, but this year soccer also enjoyed our whole-hearted support. EASTERN ECHO Many of our able-bodied boys turned out with enthusiasm to uphold the prestige of their form, climaxing one of the finest sea- sons of soccer held at this school. Under the competent leadership of Lorne Maclntyre, the boys of 4G could not be de- nied the championship, and for the second year in succession they were the crowned champions of the school, defeating 2D in a bitterly-fought game. the score being 3-Z after over-time. IG led by J. Richards became the lower school champions by defeating 10 with a score of 2-O. Because of their fine playing throughout the season. IG certainly deserved to win. The players of these two winning teams were presented with crests, and the soccer committee. consisting of J. Spofford, J. Cas- tello and W. Mcfieely. received leaders' crests, INTERFORM BASKETBALL The interform basketball league was con- ducted this year with great success under the guidance of Mr. Carter. Mr. Copp and a Eighty-seven

In the opinion of many fans, Cossey has been rated as the most improved player and should give a great performance next season We must not overlook the courage of our insides. Hately and Roach. who nearly killed themselves many times trying to splatter their towering opponents over the ground. The spectacular tackling of Bignell. Rit- chie. Fry, Cahill and Houghton was a thrill- ing sight for Eastern Commerce Supporters. Very few points were scored against Com- merce .luniors in the last half of a game and here the tide of superiority would usually change, but a lead is si very hard thing to reduce no matter how hard you play. A very good suggestion was given that we play the last half first and then play as well in the first half as we played in the last half, but we could not figure out how to do it. The rugby season will come again in Sep- tember. 1937. but this time we will have Eighty-six the services of the Bantams and Cossey and Lunau, which should help us secure a play- off position. Rugby is one of the best games invented. so once again I say. Watch Eastern Com- merce go to town next year. BANTAM RUGBY Due to the fact there wasnt enough ma- terial to form a senior team. for the first time in Eastern Commerces history. a bantam team was organized with Mr, Carter as coach and Maurice Hewitt as assistant coach. The training period was short. but Coach Hewitt had the plays down pat. Although the scores were mostly one-sided, they did not indicate the play of the games. River- dale. Tech.. and Malvern were great teams and our line did not contain half as much beef as did those of our opponents. but lfllis made up for a lot of us. Riverdale took us 32-O in the first game and we have no alibis to offer. In the second game. which was played on a swampy field. EASTERN ECHO

Tnlliot, The various teams showed enthusiasm throughout the basketball season and availed themselves of every op- portunity to practice. much of which was clone in the lunch periods.
