Christmas, 1923 VQX LXVCEI 55 The Collegiate Field Day. This annual event was l1e1d 011 Oct. 5111 and 6th, All the events were put through with spirit. The keenest competition was probably ill t11e intermediate 100 H1111 2211 yard dasl1es. Mepham won the .Iunior Chainpionsliip with Thomas and Parish tied for seeond. Tl1e IllIL'l'lll9lll2lIE' cham- pio11 was Ken Barnes, witl1 Hodd i11 see- o11d place. Barnes also won tl1e Cadet Cha1npionsl1ip. RUGBY. 'Phe first of tl1e season 's games was the annual exhibition lllilltll with the Junior Tige1's. Tl1e Collegiate emerged victori- ous this year. Although their oppo11e11ts were heavier. they lacked the pep and combination of the H. C. I. team. H. C. I. vs. Dundas. The first league game was played at the H. A. A. A. field against Dundas. Du11- das proved easy for t-he Collegiate who were 11ever in danger. Hu11ter and Wright ra11 tlhe opposing taeklers off their feet Illltl were the best men 011 the field. I-I. C. I. 47 vs. .C. H. S. 7. The C. H. S. team was confident of re- peating last year's success up till this game. when the well drilled Collegiate machine won to the tu11e of 47-7. The Catholic High deserved their only toucl1- down, which was the result of a good run and a. suceessful plunge. H. C. I. 13 vs. Dundas 9. This game was played in Dundas, and the valley town, true to its reputation, played desperately but vainly to keep the H. C. I. from adding another victory to its list. I-I. C. I 15 vs. Tech. 10. H. C. I. had 311 off day in this game, and hampered by the good interference of the Tech., experienced some difficulty in overcoming their rivals. Bus Hun- ter, however, rose to the occasion, and with the H. C. I. one point up, kicked a field goal and a dead-line for good measure, Wright for Collegiate made some fine runs, while tl1e kicking of Long for tl1e Tee-11. was splendid. I-I. C. I. 5 VS. C. H. S. 1. Catholic High showed themselves a vastly improved team ill this game and at half time led by IVO. C011pgiHfQ'S in. I9l'fL'l'CllL'C seemed out of gear, the ball carrier receiving little or no protection. Ill the second ehapter, however, t11ey came to life, a11d t'Busl' Hunter was able to make some of his lusty booting count. One of his kicks was a field goal from thirty- tive yards out. H. C. I. 13 VS. L. C. I. 6. Saturday, Novernber ll'tl1, the Collegiate team journeyed to London to play the annual exhibition game. Tihe team that lltlll won six straight games was Ilk'IE'l'Illll1- ed 11ot to let tl1e winning streak be brok- en. All played well, with Wright and Hunter supplying the thrills. Wanless was the best for Lo11don. Brampton High 1 Vs. H. C. I. 32. The H. C. I. 112111 some slight fears of this team as tl1ey were reported to be very good. Their fears, however, were groundless, as tl1e H. C. I. team overe shadowed them i11 all deparlrnents. Brampton had the 211lYIll1lHQl1 i11 weight but tl1is did them little good against the tricky attacks ofthe H. C. I. 111e11. Brarnp- fOll showed their best i11 the last ten 111i11utes when they forced Hamilton to rouge for their only point. H. C. I. 46 vs. Brampton C. I. 2. As tl1e swore shows, tl1is was largely a. repetition of the previous game. The Brampton team, however, with tl1eir lack of experience, deserve credit for their pluck ill face of overwlrelming odds. YVith more training i11 the line poi11ts of the game they will make worthy oppon- ents. H. C. I. 43 Sarnia. 2. Little should be said of the first of the 1101119-HH-'1lOl'llE' games with Sarnia for the semi-final ll0ll0l'S for tl1e Illifdl'-SlfllOlIlSI.1C Ci1lZllllIllOllS.lllP of Ontario, outside of the fact that Collegiate left the H. A. A. A. grounds winners of the game by virtue of -L-2 lead over the fOl'lllll,l2'lblO collection fl'0l1l the Tunnel Town.. Playing on a greasy field, the opposing squads fumbled the ball with almost deadly precision.
