Just gaze at the Rugby photograph. Handsome, yes, but just listen to this! Starting at the left of the back row we come first to HAROLD METCALFE. Metty first served with the green and white senior team in 1922 and 1923. when he was a spare. In 1924 he was a full-fledged quarterback, which posi- tion he filled this year. Possessing a strong, clear voice and a. quick work- ing brain, Metty was an ideal director of plays. He also carried the ball well in tight corners, and his vicious tack- ling made him very effective on the secondary defense. Next on the pro- gram is ERNEST BERNER. This year was Ponzi's first appearance on the senior team. He did valiantly as a spare outside wing, having the art of the shoe-string tackle down to a science. WILFRED ZIEMAN. Back in the autumn of 1921 the Count got a job at right middle, a position I. Rugby Squad which he has managed to hang on to up until now. THEODORE SIMPSON started his senior football career in 1924. Another football season has passed. and Simp's sensational tackles have become super-sensational. Hello! XVhat have we here? None other than AUBREY DOYLE, the far-famed line plunger. Aub. started in as assistant left middle in 1923, and has held that position permanently since then. He is a deadly tackle, making the left wing practically impregnable. On the ex- treme right of the rear row is HAROLD JEFFRIES. Jeff is an old Guelph boy, but spent a few years at Trinity Col- lege, where he became a rugby player of wide renown. At outside wing his speed, skill and tackling were sensa- tional. Over on the left of the middle row we find ROBERT LAING. Bob assisted for the first time last year. This year he played right wing, and
