Easter V U X L Y C E I 1921 MILITARY MATTERS Continued from page 43 In May we will have our regular inspec- tion, which will be very elaborate. Be- sides the Battalion inspection, each Com- pany will give a special exhibition. Company will do extended order and com- pany drillg B Company will give an ex- hibition of single-sticks, C Company will handle the dumb-bells, while D Company will perform with the wands. Besides this, a picked squad will give an exhibition of lance and cavalry drill. This has never been seen here before and promises to be very spectacular. There will be boxing, wrestling, tumb- ling and apparatus work and also the signal corps, which is being instructed by a sergeant-major sent by the government, will show what they have learned to do with the flags. As a grand finale the en- tire battalion will give an exhibition of free-hand drill, accompanied by the band of the l3th Regiment. We could go on and tell what a wonder- ful corps we were going to have and how we were going to be the best in Ontario, which we now are, but in the words of Captain Cornelius Wait and see.

Easter V O X li Y 4' IC I 1921 A T I-I L E T I C S Continued from page 38 ness. Much applause greeted the efforts of Captain Cornelius and his squad. The next series of events contained the relay races and sprints for the city schools. Some excellent material was here dis- closed for future city teams. ln the Col- legiate Uuniorl, Technical and Commer- cial events, the evident training of the Collegiate athletes was a source of gen- eral comment and praise. They always came home winners, displaying superior form and a more uniform stride than their opponents. A dull moment was positively an un- known quantity to the large audience. A special jazz band from the school inject- ed plenty of pep into the proceedings with their snappy selections of popular pieces. The gloom smashing brigade of the evening was composed of that band of Happy Harmony Hounds lead by the man with the voice of a lion, but the temper of a lamb-no other than Bert Challen, boys! Norris Waldron acted as his assistant. Every event was heralded or applauded by a special song or yell: and many were they and long. The height of excitement and anxiety was reached as the international events followed one after the other, each con- taining its individual attraction. All the contestants in the dual competition were exceptionally well developed and well trained. The Baltimore team brought some neat and skillful runners, the skill and endurance of the H.C.l. team being taxed to the limit. From the start of al- most every race until the finish the result was in doubt. The winning of the meet could not be called a pink tea affair by any means: H.C.l. had to fight every inch of the way. For over half the distance only two points separated the teams. ln heaping the laurels upon the track team we must not forget the man who worked hard and patiently to bring further suc- cess to our school. Every athlete wearing the wings of the H.C.l. possessed a well- timed stride, together with beautiful run- ning form, which was produced only by proper training and coaching on the part of Captain Cornelius. To pick an indi- vidual star from the team would be an impossibility, as every man performed creditably. The most exciting moments of the whole meet were experienced dur- ing the hurdles and long distance events. It was the usual thing to see the runners pass each other, First one school leading, then the other. The management of the Royal Con- naught Hotel kindly presented a solid gold medal to the individual obtaining the largest number of points. l. E.. Francis was the winner, with I0 points to his credit. E.. D. Stevens, of Baltimore, came second with 8, while W. Ferris tied with R. Whiteford, of Baltimore for third, se- curing 6 each. Although Collegiate were defeated in a close race in the relay, the defeat was more than made up for when we landed six first places as against three by Baltimore.

Easter Y 0 X IJ Y 4' E I ISIQI GIRLS ATHLETICS Continued from page 44 In the second contest the Beamsville High SchooI lost to the Normal School Onedrz with a score of I0 to 5. On Tuesday, january llth, Room 3 won an easy victory over the girIs of Room 5. Marion Linklater was the best player for Room 3, scoring most of the points. Score was I4 to 4. The Collegiate Senior Third team -lost to the Pep-e-Two's of Normal School on january I3. The score ran up to I9-IO. This victory of the Normal girls put their Onedrz in first place in section Friday, Jan. Zlst, Collegiate Uppers vs. Grimbsy H.S. This was a fast game, resulting in the score of I4-I3 in favour of our team. At half time the score stood 7-3 favouring the H.C.l., and the first part of the second half our girls increased the Iead. Grimsby, however, came up with a whining fin- ish and nearly tied the score. The Col- legiate girls played a very good game. This game left the Uppers tied with the Veni Vidi Vici's for Hrst place in section A of the Ieague. The second game between the Collegi- ate Senior Thirdsn and the Onedrz re- sulted in the score 22-20 in the Iatter's favour. There was some disagreement concerning the score, but it was decided to Iet it stand as it was. The last game that evening was between Beamsville I-i.S. and the Pep-e-Two's. The former easily won by I5 points. The Normalites were a little handicapped, however, as they were playing without their captain. On Thursday, january 27, two games were played, the first was between pick- ed teams from the First and second forms. The First form girls played an excellent game and come off winners with a score of 9-8. In the second game the Collegiate Uppers battled their way to First place in section A of the Ieague. when they defeated Veni Vidi Vici's in a fast game, by a score of IB to I0. The winners played splendid basketball throughout, Miss Walker at defence, and Miss Wing- field, center, being the most conspicuous players. The next set of games was played on Friday, February 4th. The opening con- test between Beamsville and the Collegiate Seniors Thirds was one of the fastest games yet staged, for at no time did one team have a lead of more than two points. At half time our team was Ieading by the score of I0 to 8: one minute before time was up the score was I5 aII, and then the visitors scored a free throw and the game was won. In the second game Grimsby defeated the Eagles by a score of I3 to 7. The following Tuesday two Collegiate teams journey to Brantford. Both the boys and girls were successful. Marion Walker, Little Giant, as she is called, in Brant- ford played a splendid game at defence. The result was 9-5. The Iine-up: Brantford-Forwards: Ruby Smith, Muriel Smiley: centre, Lenore Mayot, Ad- die Roberts: defence: Helen Biggar, Aud- rey Connamong spare, Dorothy jones. Hamilton-Forwards: Jenny Davidson, Freda Kortsman: centre: Annie Wingheld, Florence Russell, defence: Marion Walker, Edith Gillies ffirst halfl, Georgina Ross fsecond halfjg spare, Ruth IVIcDonaId. We also won the return game on the following Wednesday, even though the Brantford girls played a splendid game. Three important games were played on Friday, February I Ith. The first game re- sulted in a victory for the Onedrz against Beamsville H.S. The next game was a de- feat for the Collegiate Uppers by Grims- by, with a score of I5-8. This tied them for first place in section The Iast game of the evening proved a wallcover for the Collegiate Senior Thirdsn for they defeated the Pep-e-Two's by the one- sided score of 20-2. As a result of this game both these teams are out of the run- ning for first place, although they still have a chance for the consolation trophy. E.ditor's Note.-Through modesty, Miss Freda Kortsman, editor of this depart- ment, has neglected to include herself in the report. Miss Kortsman has a most enviable record on the girls' basketball team, she being a star forward and cap- tain of the Senior Third girls' team.
