VOX LYCEI 69 Senior Rugby The Senior lnterscholastic Rugby league, composed of teams from Glebe Collegiate, Ottawa College, Lisgar Collegiate and Nepean High School. has ended for the l9Z9 season. These teams showed exceptional rugby ability in the many close and interesting games that were played. The Glebe Collegiate team however was superior to those of the other three schools and finished its schedule without meeting a reverse. The remaining teams hnished in the order mentioned above. Although Lisgar Finished third it gave the leaders a hard Fight before succumbing to them. Indeed, if Lisgar players had turned out more consis- tently to practise, Lisgar possibly would have been higher in the standing. lt has been rumoured that if the players ot next year's Lisgar senior rugby team do not practise more steadily and conscientously than was the case this year. there will be no team representing the blue and grey in the league. The members of this years team have seen their folly and hope that the next team to represent Lisgar will take the hint and benefit accordingly. The team was composed of many individual stars, the most prominent of whom was -lohnny Edwards, the captain and quarter-back. The backneld was ably looked after by Alf Gratton, Ken Baird, -lerry Slattery and ,lohn Currie. Constituting the secondary defense, Lisgar had Fisher, Henderson and Carroll. The line, although not a heavy one, was composed of tireless workers such as Murray. I-lerman, Campbell, Way, Bertrand. Grundy. Blaginnes. Wallace. Worden. Crawdron, Brash and Laughton. tl. F.

VOX LYCEI 71 junior ,Rugby The author of last year's -lunior Rugby article in the Vox, expressed the hope that OLII' junior team would measure up to the high standard set by the Eastern Canada champions of 1928. Unfortunately, they did not. In the league. comprised of Glebe. Lisgar, High School of Commerce, and Ottawa College, they succeeded in winning half their games, and were tied for second position, when an awkward situation developed with the result that no cham- pions were declared. This year's team, certainly, did not possess the same ability as the cham- pionship squad of '28, but the main difference. and the one to which the lack of success may be attributed, was the indifference towards practice. The fellows did not turn out early enough in the season, and when they did begin. practices were very irregular. They failed to realize. evidently, that it is only by constant drill in fundamentals that latent football ability may be developed. Players on this years team were Kettles. Donaldson, MacDougall, Crab- tree, Clauson, Davidson, Jack. 1. Zelikovitz, J. Zelikovitz. Larocque. Sheppard, Abramson, Hough. Dunne. Forbes. Meehan, MacCallum, Brown. Smyth, VVallace, Swerdfager. Here's to the 1930 team! May they succeed in regaining the Tip Top Trophy. R. A. S., Vth. TERFORM SPURTS Rugby A very successful schedule of Interform Rugby was played this fall, more than two hundred and fifty boys playing fn twenty-two games. The Upper School Team represented lVth and Vth forms captured the cham- pionship of the school in a sudden death games with IIB. champions of the Lower School, which ended with a score of ll-O. XYhile the whole team played well under the able coaching of Bedford-Jones, special mention should be made of XV. Ade in the backlield, Bickerton at quarter-back and Hudson at flying wing. The First Form Championship was won by 1DC who lost the Lower School title to IIB in a great game ending 17-6. IA showed their superiority over the other teams to win the First Form Junior Championship. All the games were marked by an enthusiasm and good sportsmanship that promises well for future Interscholastic teams. Mr. Drulard is to be congratu- lated on the way he arranged the schedule and in securing good referees for the games. R. Fisher-TVB.
