After many hard practices under the coaching of Mr. Dinsmore, the squad took the ice against their most bitter rivals, Central. The game was close, ending in a tie, 2-2. The next game was played the fol- lowing week with Tech. The game seesawed back and forth, but finally South defeated them 2-1. A week later, the return game with Central was played, but this time South took the lead and kept it. The game resulted in a 2-1 victory for Central. This nearly gave the cup to the Tecumseh Avenue squad-only a tie with Tech. was needed. But the boys were out to win and they succeeded, 1-0. i I l w i The tt-am's nt-xt opponent was Stratford, and the first two games were tied, ZZ-2. The final was played in London. The visitors walked oil' with a one- sided victory, 8-2, Line-up: Goal, Payne: De- fence: Edwards, Steep: Centre: Mcliennag Subs: Bodkins, Hol- lowell, Ewer, Garside, Avery. THAMES VALLEY GOLF COURSE SCENE OF FIRST TOURNAMENT The members of IIIC are proud of their champion golf player, Ian Innes. The first annual golf tournament of the L.S.C.I. was held at Thames Valley Golf Course on Septem- ber 28th. This tournament, promoted by Mr. Freeman and Jack Woolley, was the initial golf tournament in the school and was a decided success. Entrants were very enthusias- tic and the entry of twenty- eight will undoubtedly be in- creased very much in 1936. l l At the linish of the regular IS-hole round. Doug. Parnell and Ian Innes were tied with the lowest scores of 87. In the deciding hole to determine the winner, Innes won the match. one up. In Class B, which included boys having all previous scores ovcr 45 strokes for the 9-hole course, the low- est score turned in was 95, by C. Cole. Humour was supplied by the star foursome comprised of Ron Chapman fclub breaker, club loser and ball loserl, Don Filmore, Dick Wlhite and H. B. Dinsmore. It was suggested that next time this group in- clude an adding machine in their equipment. The prize winners were: Class A, Ian Innes, 87, Doug. Parnell, 87, B. Miller, 939 Class B, C. Cole, 95, W. Kearns, 96, G. Martin, 100, D. Case, 101, T. Owen, 1053 High Gross, H. B. Dinsmore, 1-10. Runner-up, J. R. Chapman, 138. Well, folks, another year has rolled around and South Col- legiate is expected to turn out another hard-fighting, spirited group of griflders as an entree for Senior W.O.S.S.A. rugby. Although the prospects for a good line were rather slim, Mr. Dinsmore collected a few of the boys who were turning out and had them in shape when the first whistle blew, opening the starting game with Central on October -ith. The game was a real hard tight for South. but they struggled through to victory, 7-0. On October 10th. the second game was played, this time with Sarnia Collegiate on a very wet and muddy gridiron at Tecumseh Park. This slowed South's fast backfield but they showed themselves to be cap- able mudders. The pigskin was handled as if by professionals -Sarnia gathered up a fumble behind South's touch line, giv- ing them the major score and the game, 5-1. The third game. another tough battle in Sarnia. was played oH' on October 25th. The blue-and-white team defeated South by the narrow margin of Il-2, and this gave the Tun- nel City the series. Sarnia admitted it was the hardest game of the series. The South backfield had been changed around owing to the absence of Jack Kennedy, stel- lar halfback. The score might just as easily have been 3-2 for South, because South played a brand of rugby that was hard to beat. The fourth and linal game of the series was played at Te- cumseh Park again, on Novem- ber 6th. This game gave to South the city series and the McHale cup, when they defeat- ed Central by the score of 18-10. All I can say for this game is that every member of the squad played his best brand of rugby. Players: Harry Kimber, Keith Caspell, Don McKenzie, Stew Clarke, Ad Shaw, Bill Par- sons, Abe Phillips, 'tWalt Raimer, Ian Symington, Don Fillmore, Bud Mitchell, Bev.

ri O South Sketch, London, December 6, I935 IUNIURS K.-TV. Eliminated in the Semi- Finals-Coach Freeman's Team Turns Tables on St. Thomas. After four unsuccessful at- temps at a Junior W.O.S.S.A. championship title, Coach Free- nian's hopes were realized when the Juniors returned home with the coveted trophy tucked safely under their belts. Alex. Hofstetter, t h e Galloping Gopher , having captained his team through the season with but only one defeat, at the hands of the powerful K.-W. squad, brought the first VV.O.S. S.A. Rugby title to South Vol- legiate and also to London. Vonsidered green at the first of the season, even by local supporters, they soon showed their ability t.o handle any threat which might stanzl in their way of a championship. A great deal of credit for the team's success was due to the steady, plunging, little quarter- back, Tom Woolley, who gen- eraled the team from start to finish in a manner equal to that of Bobby Coulter, an'l to the consistent booting of Abe Frith: however. the tackling and blocking of the line was the deciding factor in their victory. Oust K.-VV. 14-12 Taking advantage of a home crowd and field South rolled up a 13-point lead on a rain- soaked gridiron. In the return game in Kitchener a slightly over-confiilent London team found themselves up against a v a s t l y improved tricolored squad. South was decisively beaten 12-1. This clean, hard- hitting outfit was the second best contender for the cup and provided the majority of South's opposition. London Gains 1-Point Lead, 9-8 Playing in another drizzling rain, they proved themselves real mudders. Snatching an early victory from a cocky Blue and White team, they downed the visitors by a close margin: game ended 9-8. CAPTURE W. 0. S. S. I-I.

Keene ran one of Louch's kicks back 15 yards: the St, Thomas booter was having difficulty getting distance against the cross-wind. From 20 yards out Keene tried for a placement but it went wide for a single point. For the next few minutes London seemed to have an ad- lvantage in the play, but Irwin broke through fast and inter- lceptcd a lateral pass in centre tield. He was tackled by Wool- ley after a run of 25 yards. Orchard and Snyilcr plunged for 8 and Louch booted a field goal. Several fumbles recovered again by St. Thomas, and a long run by Frith on the receiv- ing end of a punt paved the way for London's second point. lAt the end of the first quarter. St. Thomas led, 3 to 2.

This year the two teams chose a different way of ending' the lseasong rather than have a Itufkeb' dinner at the school :ind cause a great deal of work and trouble for the people in charge, they decided to have a fowl supper at the country church in Sharon.

When South's Senior hockey team defeated Tech. in the second game of their schedule this year, they broke a losing streak that had continued for some years, The team this year fought through their group only to be nosed out by the fast Tech. squad in the final game of the series. Mr. Dinsmore's squad played smart hockey and deserve credit for a very enjoyable season. The players are also to be congratulated on the manner in which they practically fin- anced themselves, each person contributing for every practice. The first game was a fast, hard-fought one which went to our old purple-and-gold clad rivals, Central, 2-0. In the next game, the team provided an upset by defeat- ing Tech. As Tech. had previ- ously beaten Central, it now ticd up the series. The boys outlasted Central in the return game and won by a 2-1 margin. The group championship was at stake when South and Tech. met in the final game. At half- ,time South led 2-1, but Tech. came back in the last half to score three goals. This elimi- nated one of the best South Senior teams ever produced.

I O South Sketch, London, December 6, I935 JUNIORS WIN FOR THE FIFTH TIME Junior Rugby this year start- ed with a bang. Practices be- gan early and nearly fifty boys turned out. With the help of a few of last year's regular play- ers, Mr. Freeman built up a light but snappy rugby team of championship calibre. In the city series, South proved to be the strongest team. They were scheduled to meet Beck C. I. in the first game on the former's own Field. The game was a wide open one in which our Juniors swept over the far more experienced East End team with a 6-3 win. In the second game, South met their old rivals, Central,r at South, and beat them with an overwhelming score, I3-0. The third game clinched the grou p championship when South once more beat Beck on the latter's field in a hard- fought but equal battle ending in a 3-0 score. The Anderson Trophy will remain a part of the South Collegiate for an- other year. This is the fifth consecutive time in which the trophy has matle South C. I. its home. The last game of the city group was a wide-open game in which our rivals scored their first points of the season. The game ended in a 2-all tie. With the winning' of the city froup, the Juniors met 'Wood- stock in the iirst of the VV.O. S. S. A. playdowns. This series was based on total points to declare the winner. The first game was held in VVoodstock, in a cold drizzling' rain, which, however, failed to slow up the garnet-and-gray's speedy style of play, but rather seemed to help them in an endless march towards VVoodstock's goal-line. The total score was 26-O, which included every possible method of chalking up points. In the return game South found a greatly improved Woodstock team to battle with at Tecumseh Park, but again won, with a '7-0 score. This Igame ended the Woodstock series with a total score of 33-0. This win entitles the Juniors to a home and home series with Kitchener. Let's go, Juniors! The VV. O. S. S. A. cup is just around the corner. VVe extend our hearty congratula- tions on your success to date, and wish you luck in your com- I ing battles.

BOYS' ATHLETICS WELL SUPPORTED Winning athletic teams cost money to support, and as South's teams lived up to for- mer reputations last year, a great deal of expense was in- curred. Our Junior and Senior rugby teams and the Junior hockey and basketball teams were all city champions last year, necessitating out of town trips. In this respect, our Athletic Society of last year deserves credit for their expert financ- ing of these trips. They car- ried on in spite of adverse conditions and always came through with the necessary funds. We hear talk on the subject of where all the money goes, but only a small per- centage of the financial outlay is ever made known to the public in general. The Athletic Society Executive of this year is very fortunate indeed to have such good conditions re- garding the finances of the Society made possible by the good work of last year's oifi- cers. I,et's get behind the Soci- ety this year and give it a real helping hand. -G. Dowdell, VA. JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM I Back Row D. Maidens, J. Walker, A. Newton, C. Element, E. Jackson, A.
