, C Junior Soccer This year, many soccer aspirants turned out. After careful consideration, Mr. Norris picked the team and drilled them for the first game with Parkdale. We won this game easily by 3-O. Gur next game was with Bloor at Wfillowvale Park. 'That game was easy for us, too, and the score was 3-l. The team faced a stronger aggregation when they met Oakwood at Earlscourt Park. Playing in a heavy wind, we were held to a tie, 2-2. We met our first reverse when we lost to Central Commerce by 5-1. Humberside got the first goallbut Commerce tightened up and scored five points. Then we lost to Harbord at High Park by Z-O. We made many pressing attacks on Harbord's goal but were unable to score. The forward line, Scorrer, Nichols, Archbold, Roseborough, and Hunter combined well and received excellent support from the half-backs Pake, Sanders, and Acheson. Tufts and McLean fed the forwards well, while Ellison, in goal, was hard to get past. JU NIOR SOCCER J. Acheson, V. McEwen, R. Pake, L. Rowntree, C. McLean, N. Armstrong, Mr. Norris, J. Tuft, F.

Third Game-Bloor, who were still stinging from a loss at the hands of Parlcdale the week before, were out to take revenge on Humberside, but the game ended in a tie, 3-3. Fourth Game-The second game with Parkdale proved to be a real thriller, and after scoring the first two goals, Humberside weakened and allowed Parlcdale to run in two goals for another tie game. fzmior H ocleey At the hrst of the season, the junior hockey enthusiasts felt that the prospects for the year were by no means rosy, because, except for two positions, an entirely new team had to be chosen. Many aspirants turned out and the gaps have been hlled. Under the able coaching of Mr. McLellan, the team has made four straight victories. ln the first encounter we opposed Oakwood, and after a loose game succeeded in defeating them S-5. The second fixture was more exciting but Parkdale was easily defeated 3-l. These victories gave our players more conndence. 1 JUNIOR HOCKEY--CITY CHAMPIONS J. McConvey, G. Mills, Mr. McLellan, J.
