Our boys put up the usual good fight for which they are noted, but were defeated 11-8. The second game, which was a home game for Central, was played at Tecumseh Park against our old rivals the South Seniors. Again we found our boys at the wrong end of the score which was 5-2. This game was very close, and our boys showed up very well, fighting every inch of the way, several times obtain- ing their yards. The following week the Seniors went out to the Beck grounds and defeated them in an exceedingly well played game, the score being 8-6. Our next game was held in Sarniag a splendid crowd accompanied our team down, but in a great sea of mud and water, they were beaten 6-0. With the Juniors Our Junior Team this year was rather light, but fast and experienced. After a month and a half or so of intensive training they opened the season at Wes- tern against the new llderton team which entered the series this fall. Central won this game 39-0, outclassing llderton in every way. The second game, against South, was a very excit- ing one and although we were defeated 9-8, our boys played well and showed us their true value, it was very close and splendid work was done by each member of our team. The third game, which was our home game against Beck, was also played at Western. A splendid fight was given by our visitors but they were defeated 21-0. A week later our Juniors went out to Ilderton and there found a great- ly changed team, although we took them 29-5, a team with such an amount of spirit and iight and with such a small amount of experience would be hard to equal-Good luck- llderton in your future cam- paigns. The following game was the most important one of the whole series, it was against South again, held at Tecumseh Park. South was 2 points in the lead, and we were striving to tie them by winning. However, this was not to be, for in an extremely hard fought game, from which South emerged victorious, we were obliged to take second place in the city series, the score was 11-6. The last game of the junior series was held at Beck, and on a field covered with snow, Beck Continued on pane 96 IN QSTRALIA Terry Ferris, L. C. C.I. Out- standing Athlete Less than four years ago, when Terry Ferris started training for the annual cross-country run, little did he think that his prow- ess as a runner would win for him a trip to the opposite side of the world. However, he was interested in running and was not satisfied with anything less than his best. He paid strict attention to training rules, get- ting proper rest, usinga suitable diet, carrying on a regular pro- gramme of training, and sacrific- ing many temporary pleasures in order to fit himself for a de- finite goal-his best. On his first attempt in the three-mile cross-country run he was the winner and has led the field each year since. On the track he has specialized in the half-mile event and the VV.O.S.S.A. record that had stood since 1923 was broken this year when Terry bettered that record by several seconds. Besides his track records he has established an excellent athletic record in other activities, being prominent in rugby, basketball, hockey and tennis. In academic work Terry has Continued on page 81 London Honours Girl Athlete Poppy Nevin Receives Ring Isabel CPoppyl Nevin, 15- year-old girl athlete who broke three records in one night, was presented with a handsome signet ring on October 7th, by Mayor Wenige. Poppy broke the Canadian high-jump record, the former being 4 ft. 9 in.-the new, 4 ft. IOM inch. She tied the Canadian 100 yard-dash for Junior girls and shattered the provincial mark. Poppy also broke the broad-jump record for the playgrounds. All of these were made on the same day, by the same girl. His VVorship the mayor said in making the presentation, I have much pleasure in present- ing you with this ring, and I hope every time you look at it you will remember it is the city's tribute to you for your achieve- ments. Alderman Skeggs asked Poppy if she took the legs of a frog and tied them on her own or if she watched a frog all day long to see how to jump. Poppy thanked the Council saying that it was a great plea- sure to accept the gift. She gave most of the credit to Bryce and Sam Munro for her success. She also said that it was her ambition to bring further honours to the city. Mr. Doidge expressed con- fidence that Miss Nevin would achieve higher honour. There were 400 children competing in the meet. If there had been keener competition in the 100- yard dash she probably would have broken two records. Continued on page 75

74 THE REVIEW Hello, folks! A new column for our sport section, with brief comments about our Girls' Athletic Work and about some of our outstanding athletes. Hope you all lilie ii. The year 1933-34 was a great year for the girls' basketball teams. Although not always on the high end of the score, Central made some fine showings against their opponents, thanks to the capable coaching of Miss Hen- derson and Miss Armstrong. Ik 41 Pk Has anyone else ever noticed that when the gym is well filled with supporters, Central almost always comes out on top? Per- haps this has some significance. An enthusiastic crowd makes an enthusiastic awinkneil Deck tennis is a new game at school and its popularity is rapidly increasing. To the girls who haven't tried it: Come out and test youar sliilllzk Badminton proved to be popu- lar last winter, with several girls entering the tournament. Lor- raine Rolfe was the winner and Marion Bees, the runner-up. 12 31 lk Do you recall the time when Central had a girls' baseball team? Not a bad one, either. Some of us think there are girls in the school, quite capable of batting the baseball a fair dis- tance, who would jump at the chance to play on a team. What do you thinli? at ik Basketball prospects for the coming year look exceptionally L.C.C.I. MODEL AEROPLANE CLUB For the benefit of those stu- dents, who have stood gazing in wonder, at the excellent re- plicas of modern aeroplanes, on display in the lobby of the library, and have wondered where they came from, we wish to announce the formation of the L. C. C. I. Model Aeroplane Club. Although the club is not yet very old, rapid progress is being made under its super- visor, Mr. Maddeford, and its president, Bruce McColl. A great deal is expected of it dur- ing the coming year. The officers of the Model Aeroplane Club are as follows: President-Bruce McColl. Vice-President - Don Mc- Lennan. Secretary-F red Hammerton. Treasurer-Stuart Spofford. -F. Hammerton, Sec. bright. With such outstanding stars as Jean McNally, Poppy Nevin and Marion McNaughton available, the senior team should do well.

Many entertainments were ar- ranged and the girls entered into them enthusiastically. I think you will all agree that we had a very successful year. For this year the prospects look even brighter. There are new treats in store for you, girls, and I know you are going to en- joy them. The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion Executive and representa- tives for this year are:- President-Jessie Schaef. Secretary-Carol Phelps. Treasurer-Hilaire Little. Fifth Year Representatives- Marion Bees, Bette Inksater. Fourth Year Representatives -Marion Keene, Aldean John- ston. Third Year Representatives- Ann Little, Betty Birch. Second Year Representatives -jean Crawford, Isobel Nevin. First Year Representatives- Marjorie Madge, Betty Scott. Now, don't you think these officers are going to liven up the Girls' Athletics? Our ship is going to have a boisterous sea of fun to sail. Let's hold the sheet for them and make 1934- 35 the best year yet. How about it, crew? Reporters for Boys' Sports Editors : jack Guthrie, john Moore.

Both Seniors and Juniors Play a Fast Game The hockey season of 1933-34 was entered upon with much more enthusiasm, on the part of the school than it had been in previous years. This was due, perhaps, to the fact that both our senior and junior teams appeared to be of championship calibre. The Senior squad fought its battles with the dimunitive, but dynamic Bill Jay as anchor man and the way he held the nets down against all onslaughts and the way in which he encouraged the other members of the team certainly justified his election as captain. jim Doherty and Larry Griffin made up a hefty defence barrier as those who came against them learned to their dismay. The front line was composed of those three speedy gentlemen of Central, Jim Bell, Keith McNaughton and Gordon Lever. Their lone rushes and combination plays were certainly of an effective nature at all times. The Big Six were ably assisted by the alternate forward line consist- ing of go-hard Tom Hardy, as centre, assisted by the Flying Bishop Chuck Seager and our Travelling Salesman, Mel Stone, on the wings. Russ Chubb, as the never failing de- fense man, was always the cen- tre of attraction by his ready wit and good humour under all circumstances. The W. O. S. S. A. schedule opened up on Tuesday, Jan. 16, when our Central Seniors played their first game with Tech. The game was watched by a large crowd of both Central and Tech supporters and their dime was well spent for there wasn't a slow second during the whole game. Both teams were very evenly matched as the resulting score of three-all proved. The Seniors' next battle took place the following Tuesday, Jan. 23, when they met their greatest rival, South. That enthusiasm ran high in both schools was evident by the number of sup- porters for both teams present and by the friendly display of rivalry between them. Central's squad proved to be definitely superior to South's and as a score of four to nothing, in favor of Central, piled up hopes ran high for obtainin the City Championship for Central. On Thursday, jan. 25, the crucial game with Tech took place. All the Centralites seemed con- fident of victory. However,
