Since the last Hermes was published, the Humberside boys have won the senior basketball, the junior hockey, and the indoor and outdoor track and field championships. Such statements have become so commonplace at our school that perhaps the students fail to grasp the significance of these accomplishments. A championship team must, of necessity, have excellent co-operative material. good coaching, and a fighting spirit, which is most apt to lag at the absence of support. Our attention was drawn to this question of support by a letter from one of Humberside's outstanding athletes. He is wondering if the students are not taking their responsibilities a little too lightly. CWe consider it the responsibility of every Humbersider to make an effort to attend at least the home-gamesj. Gut of curiosity, he perused the records of three or four years ago, and found that the attendance at basketball and hockey games was much greater then than at present. Thus it seems that perhaps the pupils are letting outside attractions interfere with their interest in our sports activities. In each of the last four years, Humberside has won at least two city championships. This speaks well for the organization of our athletics. There are men on the staff who willingly give a great deal of their time in this cause. Mr. R. F. McLellan spends the fall months coaching the junior rugby team. As soon as the season ends, he calls a hockey practice and passes a busy winter coaching the junior and senior teams, and, when the track dries up in the spring, he has charge of all the track and field activities. He is also secretary of the Toronto High School Athletic Association. Such a man would prove invalu- able to any collegiate. Mr. C. S. Patterson, the efficient new teacher and coach, is handling the senior rugby team and both boys' basketball teams. He has quickly adjusted himself to his new position and is making a success of it. Qne of the most faithful of men is our quiet, unassuming Mr. j. T. Norris, who has the well-nigh thankless task of coaching and managing the line but unsupported soccer teams. Although little is heard of them, his boys continue to battle away, always making a creditable showing in the soccer league. ln Mr. L. K. Devitt, who in times past has coached many a championship team in rugby, basketball and hockey, we have a most willing utility man. Although he has retired from many of his sporting capacities, he is still our official optimist. He has also retained contact through the midget rugby team. For several years Mr. E. C. McQuarrie has faithfully and accurately handled our finances. Although of Scotch descent, he judiciously and generously disburses our funds. These are the main reasons why Humberside has a great athletic reputation. They are the best of men and we are proud of them. -Gordon H. Turner. 113

Senior Rugby Under the able guidance of the new coach, Mr. Patterson, Humberside's senior rugby team this year came from behind to win first place in the western section of the High School Rugby League. The seniors easily defeated Harbord in the first game of the season by 28-2, but, in view of the fact that Harbord had assembled its team very hurriedly, this result was only to be expected. The second game, however, was played against Oakwood with disastrous results. Qakwood began to score soon after the kick-off, and from then on tallied at regular intervals throughout the whole game. They amassed twenty points. On the other hand, Humberside played good rugby only in fits and starts. During one of the fits, Kedwell scored a touchdown, and due to one of the starts, Iiougheed was close enough to the line to kick for a point, giving Humberside a total of seven. This was certainly an 'foff day. and it nearly destroyed the team's chances for a good position in the group standing. Wlieil Humberside met Parkdale the following week, it was with the determination to do or die, for their opponents were undefeated group leaders. The ensuing battle was the hardest-fought game of the season, and it was with great rejoicing and even surprise that Humberside emerged victorious by a 14-2 score. This success gave the players heart to prepare themselves for the colossal task of beating the powerful undefeated Bloor team in their next engagement. It happened that Bloor was expecting fperhaps justlyil a soft game, and when Humberside had the audacity to score a touchdown within the first few minutes of play, the shock so befuddled the brains of the Bloor players that they seemed powerless to check the garnet attacks. The game resulted in a 22-4 trouncing for Bloor. Thus, with one scheduled game yet lu be played, lfarkdale, Bloor, and Humberside were tied for first place. Y ! f . -WP ' L K l '?' SENIOR RUGBY B.
