, SPECULA GALTONIA 33 The team is composed of the following boys: , Senior Team: J. Dietrich fCapt.J, W. Cockman, H. Dando, J. Dawson, C. Fergu- son, D. Kemp, H. Lang, R. Lawrence, A. Lorriman, F. MacDonald, R. McCaErey, H. Midgley, G. Saunders, S. Sternall, W. Tutton. Junior Team : S. Sternall, A. Newlands J. Peters, A. Tremaine, A. McCurdy. , 224214914 TRACK AND FIELD For the first time the G.C.I. sent a Track and Field team to the W.O.S.S.A. meet, which is held annually in the Uni- versity of Western Ontario Oval, last year. The meet was held on Saturday, May 19th. As this was the school's first attempt along these lines, no notable victories were scored by the Galt athletes, but the exper- ience they received will count for much and the school can expect that the 1929 Track and Field team will bring additional honors to the school's proud sporting record with every confidence that their expectations will be fulfilled. It might be mentioned here that Law- rence Snelgrove, of the Junior team, placed third in the pole vault at London. Mr. Donaldson was coach and manager of the team and did a lot of hard Work in connection with his duties. The following composed the teams: The Junior Team: C. Flatt, R. Hughes, R. McCaffrey, G. Saunders, L. Snelgrove. The Intermediate Team: C. Burnet, J. Fairgrieve, H. Legg, A. Lorriman, D. McCormick, L. Mercer, P. Philip, L. Saha- gian. fu! ' Girls' Sports IRLS' Softball this season got under Way much earlier than in former years which no doubt partly accounts for the success of the team. With Miss Duggan as coach, Goldie Gibb as manager, and a group of willing aspirants, a team was soon chosen. After battling through the interscholastic schedule, and making a fifth game necessary, this team won the softball championship and brought back to the school the Wholton Cup. The first game at Kitchener was the one and only defeat. The Galt girls were ahead until the sixth innings, when, ex- hibiting every kind of ball but the right, they literally gave the game to Kitchener with a final score of 12-9. The second game was at home with Guelph. The heavy hitting of the home team made this an easy victory for the Galt Collegiate, the final score being 25-4. The third game was at home with Kit- chener. It was a very exciting game for both players and spectators as after an innings' overtime the game ended in a tie. The second game with Guelph was almost as easy as the first, the score being 24-11. Guelph, however, defeated Kitchen- er, making another game between the two leading teams necessary before a winner could be declared. This was played on the Galt Collegiate campus. This proved such an exciting game that at the end even some of the players, as well as spectators, had to ask, Who won? SOFTBALL CHATTER They call it a softball but some times it's not so soft. Pk PIC 214 Marion Tait, the catcher, had the mis- fortune to get her nose broken when a ball hit her during practice and she was forced to change positions with the first baseman. P14 Pk Pk Miss Duggan, the coach, was also put on the injured list as she had a finger broken in practice. Ik :il S4 Mayine Rowe, the captain, suffered a broken thumb in the Ontario League sched- ule which put her on the coaching line until the last game. DK 52 ri! Goldie Gibb led the batters with 19 hits, Myrtle Parr was second with 15, Marg. McKenna and Isabel MacLeod tied with 14 hits each. , P14 Pk PIC Much of the credit for our success goes to Jessie Hinrichs, our left-handed twirler, who not only pitches peppy ball but also swings a wicked bat. Pk Pk 114 Anna Spalding's catch of a hot drive to short-stop, to make the third out in the seventh puts her among the famous. Al- though no one could have blamed her if she had missed it nevertheless it might have spelled defeat for the Galt team.
