A Track and Field Sports at K. C. V.l. Bill Neville, 4C The annual E.O.S.S.A. track meet held every September at a different school at- tracts a large number of athletes from nearly every high school in Eastern Ontario. Some schools much smaller than K.C.V.l. send nsore than twice as many representa- tives. At the last meet the blue and white was carried by live boys and live girls, a small delegation from a school with over a thousand students! VVhy is this ? you ask. And the answer can be easily and readily given-no enthusiasm to excite the students to the possibilities of the glory and renown that can be won on the cinder path. And it isnjt because we have no talent, very delinitely Nol,' Last summer H9315 four boys who did have what the majority of their school- mates lacked--enthusiasm, to name it again -decided that they had the goods, to make a championship relay team. Settling down to serious training in May they were in tip-top shape for the District Meet in june. Needless to say they won their event easily and left the required time standard a good many paces behind, too. With this victory came a trip to the Canadian National meet at Toronto in August, and this neces- sitated continual training throughout the holidays, but the lads stuck by, and were in perfect condition for the big race. They were niatched against the best junior high school athletes in Ontario and gave a very creditable showing, being beaten out of lirst place by the 'narrowest of margins. The members of this team deserve the plaudits of the whole school and it might be well to mention their names. The team was com- posed' of - B ' Rowland, Gordie Davoud, Hank Lingham, and Dick Vllilder, all of whom later in the year showed their ver- satility by combining on the football held for the betterment of the junior twelve. This is just an illustration of what K.C.V.I. can do on the track or held if it sets its mind to the task. There is a wealth of undiscovered material around the school, that, if awakened, could bc developed into a strong contingent to represent K.C.V.l. at the next District meet. This is an appeal to the boys and girls of this school to throw oft the blanket and get out and burn up the old cinder path, or show them how to putt shot. This is also an appeal to the physical instructors and any teachers interested in sport to help us put the big blue KW on the track and held map! Come on, everybody, why do you hesitate, when there are plenty of records waiting to be broken- Let K.C.V.T. do it! -67--

SENIOR RUGBY TEAM Back Row-Mr. Danby, F. Belch, A. Eccles, L. Parnass, M. Bews, G. Tisdale, A. Cliff, H. Samwell, Mr. Hedley, Mr. Tolchard. Middle Row-W. Stephen, I. Beard, F. Wemp, H. Jackson, W. Gowsell, W. Webster, G. Bould, L. Best, I. Alexander. Front Row-R. Pollitt, I. Kerruish. SENIOR RUGBY TEAM Owing to examinations and graduation, very few of last year's Senior Rugby Team were available for this year's team. Con- sequently, very little interest was taken in forming a team, but through the energy of Bill Gowsell, a team was finally formed. With but a few practices and no games, the team left for Ottawa to play Ottawa Col- lege in the Eastern Ontario finals. They ha da fine trip to Ottawa, and were wel- comed at the College by Father Carey, the headmaster. At noon everyone assembled for dinner, and when the meal was over the College and the K.C.I. boys gave their yells and several speeches were made. Mr. Tolchard thanked Father Carey for the hos- pitality shown the K.C.I. team. Then the boys wandered around the buildings until time for the game. The teams dressed at the school and walked to the College Bowl. A very good crowd had assembled to watch the game. Both teams were very evenly matched in size and weight, but the Ottawa boys had played a number of games while K.C.I. were playing their first. In the game this experience counted. K.C.I. kicked off, and Ottawa were stopped with no gain. They gained a few yards, then kicked, and on the 3rd down K.C.I. kicked. Barnaby, the Ot- tawa half, made several nice runs with the ball and finally brought it to the K.C.I. 30 yard line. Barnaby kicked the ball over the goal line and on a fumble Ottawa made a touch which they converted. The teams changed ends at quarter time and both teams fought hard, forcing the play up and down the field. Then on an end run the Ottawa team brought the ball to the K.C.I. 10 yd. line. On their second down they carried the ball over the line for a touch which was converted. The half time whistle blew with the score 12-O for Ottawa. After the rest K.C.I. came back with renewed vigour, and, following a series of plunges, Percy Abramsky took the ball over for a touch which was 'not converted. Then Barnaby added another point for Ottawa by a kick over the dead line. Before the three-quarter time whistle blew Ottawa had added another touch, making the score 18-5. Neither team did much gaining in the first part of the final period. Ottawa tried several forward passes, completing none, while K.C.I. tried 6, completing -4. Near the end of the game K.C.I. began to press and soon they had -69-
