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.

VOX LYCEI 73 Basketlval l lYith twenty teams playing in the interform basketball league this year, a successful outcome was assurerl from the start. As each played the other twice, a long schedule resulted, and over one hundred and eighty games were played. So keen was the completition, that at the end of the regular season it was necessary for four teams to play off for the school championship. Two teams, IF and HB, in the Lower School were tied for first place and in the Upper School a tie also resulted between Yth and IYAC, making necessarv a series between these teams in order to see which two would plav off for the school championship. ' In each case a sudden death game was played and as a result ll: and Yth were the hnalists. In this final game. one of the most outstanding upsets in the history of interform sports took place, IF defeating the lfpper 'School Cham- pions by a score of ll to 9, and thus winning the school championship. R. F,-IVR. Hockey Interform hockey had a very successful season at Lisgar this year. Eighteen 'teams were entered, and each played the others once, totalling over eighty games. XVhen the regular schedule was over, eight teams were far ahead of the others, and a special series was arranged for the school championship. The Upper School teams representing Vth, IV-D, Ill-A, lll-li, played off and Vth finally won the Upper School championship. ln the Lower School, ll-H won the championship by defeating teams representing I-A, I-D, and I-F. The Championship of the school was then decided when Vth played Il-B the final game of the season, Il-B winning by a score of 2-O. The committee in charge is to be congratulated for the interest they took in the league, obtaining the Auditorium for these final games. This feature made the league much more successful, and in future years it is hoped that this rink will again be procured for the interform teams. R. F.-IV-B. Baseball At the commencement of the 1929 baseball season, a question was raised as to whether the existing hardball league should be disbanded in favour of a softball league.. In a vote taken the latter type of baseball was chosen, to the regret of most of the older boys. Nevertheless, the competition amongst the various forms was just as keen as formerly. The first form championship was won by I-A who lost the lower school honour to the strong II-B team. The Upper School championship was more closely contested and only after five games had been played HI-B were declared winners over IV-D-IH-E. ln the subsequent playoff H-B were successful over the HI-B team. An innovation in school sport was created in that the teachers of the school chose a team to play an all-star school team. In the first of a two game series, the teachers surprised the students and won handily. However, the students turned the tables in the second game thus deadlocking the series. It is hoped by the boys that this competition will be taken up where it was left off last year as they would like to play the teachers again. G. F. H.-Vth.
