Southern Times AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY It is a diflicult problem to describe 1ny Alma Mater, one of the oldest and largest col- leges in America. The University of Michigan is located at Ann Arbor, Mich- igan, about 40 miles west of Detroit. It was founded as early as 1817, and has a 1936 enrollment of nearly 12,000 students. Naturally in a col- lege of this size, the facilities for physical education are lnany, and I would like to tell you something about them. The athletic field, known as Ferry Field, comprising seventy- cight acres of land, has been set apart and equipped for out- door sports of every kind. Sev- eral football fields and baseball diamonds, tracks, soccer fields, indoor baseball diamonds, ten- nis courts, and space for numerous other games afford possibilities for complete pro- grammes of intramural and l intercollegiate athletics. A U IS-hole golf course is situated southwest of Ferry Field. In addition to the playing field there is a new football stadium seating 81000, a baseball stand accommodating 10,000, an ath- letic administration building, in indoor playground known as Yost Field House, and the Intramural Sports Building. The Field House and the Intramural Building are ap- proximately the same in size, 400 feet long and 190 feet wide, both containing ample locker and shower facilities. The Field House seats 9,000 and is equip- ped with an eighth-of-a-mile track, a basketball court, a '75- yard straightaway and pro- visions for indoor golf, wrest- ling, football and baseball. The Intramural Building has almost every conceivable facility for indoor sport and recreation, including. among other things, one of the finest pools in the country and a gym comprising four basketball courts and two tennis courts. Another landmark and well known building in Ann Arbor is the Union, established as a HU social centre for men. KA similar building for women is called the League.1 Here is a place for wholesome relaxation and the comforts of home for the student. It includes a swimming pool, billiard room of twenty-four tables, a loung- ing room, restaurant service and an assembly hall for ban- quets, small dances, etc. The total campus buildings number about thirty-tive and all types of courses may be studied. Ann Arbor is a typical college town with all interests centering around the campus. THE LITERARY SOCIETY EXECUTIVE Back Row-LLeft to rightl-D. Tindall, S. Buchanan, W. Johnstone.

A ,, COMMAND PERFDRMANCE BY SDUTH MIHSTRELS One of the outstanding events at South last year was the Minstrel Show, put on by the Boys' Athletic Association. It was something new in the way of entertainment and I believe it was the first big minstrel show ever put on by the school. We had large audiences on both nights, and it proved an outstanding success financially and otherwise. In the show there were some high-class entertainers. Jim Garside made his trumpet talk and Carl Cun- ningham and Charley Hoare played a duet on their clarinets. Martin Gray, who no doubt taught Bill Robinson how to dance, danced away our blues. wOne of the outstanding num- HDNDUR DH THE PLATFDRM Grace Baldwin Wins City Cup This year, those who attended the Public Speaking Contest were very fortunate in wit- nessing such keen competition among our speakers. Especially in the Senior Girls' section, the judges had a very difficult task in choosing Barbara Govan, who competed with Doris Snider, as the winner of the Kidd medal. She spoke on Louisa May Alcott. In the Senior Boys' group, Gordon Jeffery and Don Fill- more contested for the Wendell Holmes medal. The winning speech was given by Gordon Jeffery on Newfoundland A very high standard was set by the Junior Boys, Bill Olm- sted and Donald Kerr. The honours went to Bill Olmsted, whose topic was What People Used to Think the World Was Likef' The Tecumseh Home and School Club very kindly donated this medal. We are very grateful to the Wortley Road Home and School Club, the donors of the medal in the Junior Girls' group. The successful speech was given by Grace Baldwin on An Out- standing Woman of Today, Queen Mary. Audrey Russell was a close second. Grace Baldwin Went on to win higher honour and received the cup for her class in the city. We hope this year will see as great an interest in the com- petition as it, has seen prev- iously. 421, lcfff-' Il

Southern Times Senior Hockey Team Reaches Provincial Finals W.0.S.S.A. CHAMPIDNS l0SE T0 BELLEVILLE The hockey season of 1935-36 will long be remembered at South as being the most suc- cessful in the history of the school. When the gong ended the overtime period of the final game, it also proclaimed South's first hockey championship. In the First game of the season, the lads from South looked like anything but cham- pions. The yellow-clad squad from Tech outplayed the seniors, the final outcome being 6-0. It looked like the old story of Juniors wing Seniors lose, In the second encounter, however, the home squad made a great comeback against the same team and defeated them by a score of 2-0. The third game was played against the east-enders from Beck Collegiate. The first period ended with Beck hold- ing a 1-0 advantage. During the next two periods, however, Coach Dinsmore's recruits went on a scoring rampage which could not be checked. The final result was South 8, Beck 1. Central was next on the list and in order to speed up the play-offs it was agreed that they should play a sudden- death game with South. The home team proved its super- iority over Central in a well- played, hard-fought game. by another 2-0 shutout. Our boys had now entered the semi-finals and opened hostilities in Stratford, that city of great hockey players. Inspired by the brilliant aggres- sive playing of Gord. Williams, the South team overcame Strat- ford by a 7-5 count. Gord. had a red-letter day, collecting four goals and three assists. In the return game at London, a large crowd of South's sup- porters turned out to see their favourites take a 4-0 decision from the visitors. The fight for the champion- ship was a sudden death affair played in London. Kennedy Col- legiate, from Windsor, brought a strong aggregation bolstered by several players from junior ranks. There was a great turn- out to witness what proved to be the best game up to this point. The regulation game 40 SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM Hueston News Photo Back Row-H. B. Dinsmore 1CoachJ, A. Shaw, W.

Due to the professional game to be played the same night, the two ama- teur teams were forced to wait until this was played before renewing the battle. During the overtime period Ad. Shaw and Gord. Williams scored three goals to Windsor's one. When Gord. Williams scored the goal that clinched the championship, Mr. Dinsmore could not be restrained and nearly ended Gord's hockey career by squeezing him in what was meant to be an affec- tionate embrace. The tournament to decide the championship for the whole of Ontario was played in London. The four teams entering were: Ottawa, North Bay, Belleville and London South. South played against Belle- ville and, although defeated 6-3, was not outclassed in the least. Ottawa defeated Belleville in the finals 5-4 after an over- time period, to claim the cham- pionship. In a consolation game, South held a strong, for- midable North Bay team to a 3-2 score. I think we should all say, Hats off to Mr. Dinsmore! who worked so hard, and wor- ried more than the team itself. The team did its utmost to please him and made a grand job of it. May this not be the last championship team to play for Mr. Dinsmore and South! The line-up includes: First forward line- Gord. Williams, Ad. Shaw, Murray Frareyg second forward line - Gord.

IUNIDR HOCKEY Junior hockey looked very promising when the squad turned out for practice last year, but the players had more than their share of injuries and sickness, with the result that at the end of the season South had not played one of the scheduled six games at full strength. Despite this handicap, the team proved to be a for- midable entry in the junior race. In the opening game against the representatives of Tech, our boys secured a 3-2 victory. In the second game the Garnet and Gray were again winners, this time over Beck, 4-3. Then came the turning point in Southls schedule, as a tie 2-2 was played with out great- est rival, Central. Our team won its next two games against Beck and Tech, and Central did likewise, so that the two col- legiates were now tie for top place. South versus Central, the deciding game, was a very thrilling one to watch, with both teams trying to get the winning goal. Central scored first, but South evened the score a few minutes later. Then, with only seconds to play, a Central forward picked up a loose puck in front of Southts net and made the shot which gave Central the game 2-1 and the city championship. The line-up included: Goal, Payneg defence, Anderson and Ticknorg wings, Garside and Newtong centre, McKenna: sub- stitutes, Moulden, McGill, Bradt, Kelly, Knight, Richards, Smith, Hallowell.
